Question by fmontenegrohn: Can I be seen from a remote desktop connection without a camera?
I´m currently working with a windows remote desktop connection, can I be seen by anyone? By being seen, I mean can people see the inside of my apartment? I don´t have any web cams on or installed.

No. Remote desktop software is used to remotely view and control the computer, not you. If there were a webcam installed, and your computer were being controlled, then it would be possible, but you would see this happening.

Showing Mochasoft.dk’ VNC client which works surprisingly well with the new HTC HD2 WM6.5 phone. I tried the included Microsoft WM6.5 RDP client but it’s pretty useless as its max resolution of the desktop is 800×480 but without a keyboard, with keyboard access the resolution shrinks to 800×350 or something. Further, Logmein is not compatible with the HD2 yet.. With the shown VNC client + HD2 you have: – Desktop size as large as you want, desktop decides. – Dedicated PAN button (hand icon), easy switching between panning and selecting modes. – Easy Keyboard access – Instantaneous landscape/portrait switch – If the Zooomer app is installed you can also pinch-zoom It is still a bit hard to select things with just a capacitive display and your fingers but it’s doable when needed. I’m not affiliated with Mochasoft.dk, bwt! Just a user in need of a good remote desktop solution on the HTC HD2 mobile phone.

I want to install the latest beta of IE 7, but dont want to mess up the setup of my XP box. So I decided to create a new virtual server running XP. Here, I’m finishing the install from home, sitting on my couch watching CSI Las Vegas, connected to my PC box at work via Remote Desktop running on my server behind my firewall to which I connect by Apple Remote Desktop via VPN – woaw.

Question by leon: Does remote desktop help for web surfing on a slow local connection but fast internet on remote computer?
I have slow local internet connection (<1Mbs) but i can setup a remote computer with faster internet connection (>7.2Mbs). Will web surfing be (significantly) faster if i set up remote desktop connection so that the slow local connection only needs to show the graphics of the remote computer, while the remote computer actually accesses the internet to fetch the web pages that i surf? Thanks.
