                               In computer world everything is changing. Earlier it was desktop computer and now we have many kind of laptops. Some are small laptop, some are light weight laptops and few are very advanced one.                               We can see such changes in the computer peripherals as well. Earlier we were using big floppy drive after that small one and now we can store data in very tinny pen drives upto many GBs.                                            ...

                               Today's computers are much more reliable in general than the older generations. Modern hard drives fail less frequently, and they warn you well in advance about upcoming failures with the recently adopted SMART monitoring.                               Modern hard disks have greater storage capacities than their predecessors. Retaining the same physical size, they feature a much higher storage density, allowing storing more files on the same space of their surface. And hence the big problem: if your hard drive fails, you have a lot to lose. Much more than you would just a few years ago, with much less chances to get your data bac...

                            Most people are aware that there are continuous security issues with Microsoft's Windows operating system and other programs. However, what most people do not realize is how easy it is to significantly improve your computer's security and reduce the likelihood of becoming a victim to ever increasingly sophisticated threats that lurk on the internet. These steps should take less than a couple of hours to complete and should not clean out your wall 1) Windows Update – the first crucial step you need to take to make sure that all your Microsoft applications have all the latest product updates installed. These updates or "patches" address security vulnerabilities and other issues. Microsoft usually issues these updates on a monthly cycle. Visit the Microsoft website or switch on automatic updates from the Windows C...

                                   Plus thing about the apple is they always come with the new things and latest model. So now they come up with the iPhone 4.                                       iPhone4 is said to be the reincarnated version of iPhone and contrary to the expected release, before Apple’s CEO Steve Jobs opened the model design it somehow got released and thus got involved in the controversy but still its true release took place at 2010 Worldwide Developers Conference by Steve Jobs. Steve Jobs in the conference claims to offer over 100 new features in the iPhone4 including high-resolution display, a faster proce...

                             Have you heard the word “Broiler Chicken?” if not than these are the tag names for those kids who carry thick glass even more thick than your window glass on their eyes and have body structure of a ball. Yes they are the most criticized kids who spend most of their time in home after the school playing video games and other modern gaming on their personal computer.                                Thus now you would know the secret of their fatter glass over the nose and the stored fats on their belly. For these kids their personal computers are their best friend and best buddies. If you spend even half an hour with them they will talk about gaming, Wikipedia and ...

                     “Finding the keypad on your cellphone or music player a bit cramped? Maybe your forearm could be more accommodating. It could become part of a skin-based interface that effectively turns your body into a touchscreen ,” notes from NewScientist . What is being addressed is “Skinput,” a technological project developed by Chris Harrison from Carnegie Mellon University, and Desney Tan and Dan Morris of Microsoft Research. Read more about it here. Notes about Skinput (retrieved from official research document):                            We present Skinput, a technology that appropriates the human body for acoustic transmission, allowing the skin to be used as an input surface. In particular, we resolve the location of finger taps on t...

                                         The CPU of a computer is the part of it which performs all of its logical and arithmetic calculations. All calculations are done by first converting the user's input into binary, and then the calculations are performed on the binary. The binary system consists of only two different digits – 0 and 1. They are referred to as the logical zero and logical one. For every calculation the computer alternates between these two numbers. A single change from 0 to 1 or vice-versa is known as a clock cycle. The speed of a CPU is measured in clock rate. In short, the clock rate is the frequency of the clock in a circuit. It is measured in Hz, MHz (Million cycles per second) and GHz. The clock rate can also be defined as the speed at which the micropro...
