Where Is My Computers Memory?

Tuesday, August 5th, 2008

Sometimes, it is difficult to sort out just where your computer get’s its memory. Some think that the memory held inside a computer is all the same. In reality, your computer’s memory is held in a vast number of formats with each format of memory responsible for a particular type of function necessary for the computer to respond as expected. If one type of memory is missing or inoperable, then the functions and commands that it holds will not work properly if at all. This can lead to a large hunt should you need to troubleshoot the rather inappropriate behavior of your computer.

Virus And Spyware Removal

Tuesday, June 10th, 2008

Is your internet connection running irritatingly slow? Is your web access turning on and off? Are there programs in your computer that do not work as well as they used to? Are there also pop-up images that annoyingly display on your screen every now and then?

These are the common symptoms that plague virus and spyware-infected computer systems. With the important role that computers now hold in this hi-tech society we live in, it is mandatory that you take care of your system and ensure its maximum potential and longevity. Your computer has become a helpful friend - one that does most of your work for you (and has made everything more convenient, too), so it is only fair that you repay it by defending it from harmful elements. For you to be able to do this, need to perform virus and spyware removal - and you need to perform this fast.

Computers - How Important Are They?

Monday, June 2nd, 2008

Computers today are currently overpriced and still in an experimental phase well out of reach of the typical consumer. Computers seem to be designed to waste our time by unnecessary loading redundant data and shockingly slow components made by improvement of archaic concepts. This is standard on most computers. On the other hand, computers today are much more user friendly. Most computers will run virtually their entire productive lives without needing any regular maintenance at all. Computers are not like cars,which need oil changes, tune-ups, and similar maintenance work.
The problems which do crop up with computers are almost always software-based, and those are the very problems which it’s virtually impossible for a maintenance technician to fix.

Is Ethernet The Right Solution For Your Data Network?

Saturday, May 31st, 2008

This is not a trivial question. Ethernet is relatively ubiquitous, in that most computers and peripherals speak ethernet. Ethernet is routable - far too many protocols aren’t - and is relatively fast (10 gigabits per second for a high-end card, but you can bundle up to 10 of them to create a pseudo-100 gigabit connection) and is relatively cheap.

Ok, those are the benefits. Are there drawbacks? Yes. Ethernet isn’t good on latency, there’s no meaningful error correction, there are many defined types of ethernet frame (which means you can assume companies have taken shortcuts in testing), offloading of security and checksumming is rare to non-existent, very high-speed cables are amazingly fragile, hardware multicast support is generally minimal (a bother for LANs where many protocols are multicast these days) and vendors often cut corners on using components of adequate quality.

An Introduction To Computer Forensics

Thursday, May 22nd, 2008

Computer Forensics is the process of investigating electronic devices or computer media for the purpose of discovering and analyzing available, deleted, or “hidden” information that may serve as useful evidence in supporting both claims and defenses of a legal matter as well as it can helpful when data have been accidentally deleted or lost due to hardware failure.

However, this is a very old technique but now it has been changed a lot because of technological advances, modern tools and software’s which makes Computer Forensics much easier for Computer Forensic Experts to find & restore more evidence/data faster and with more accuracy.

Iphone Flunks Out At Duke University

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

Well it wasn’t AT&T’s west coast network, but the iPhone did manage to short circuit one, albeit much smaller, network today. The iPhone’s Wi-Fi connection appears to be causing problems on the wireless network at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina.

The built-in 802.11b/g adapters on a number of phones occasionally flood certain parts of the University’s wireless LAN with MAC address requests. This has lead to the temporary loss of signal from 12 to 30 wireless access points on different occasions.

The campus primary WLAN provider, Cisco, is currently working with network administrators who have opened a help desk ticket with Apple. However, a specific cause has yet to be determined.

Choosing An Office Printer

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

The modern day office increasingly relies on computer and online based distribution of documents to function efficiently. While it is not uncommon for companies to communicate solely via electronic means, there is still a demand for hard copies of documents for most businesses. Contracts and other legal documents are good examples of where the need for physical copies is a must and so it is important for a business to have a printer of some kind that can handle the work load of the office and be economical for the business at the same time.
