Little Known Features Of IPad

By Alfred Lancer

iPad is a bombshell. There's so much in it that it could take some serious time spent with it before one can actually use its full capacity. Here's a quick view of some of little known features this multifunctioning device has.

Built-In Dictionary It's a no-brainer that a device that has superb features for e-reading is also backed with a decent built-in dictionary. Both the word processor and the iBooks application has dictionary for quick reference to words that you may find vague. Apple is also thoughtful enough to include a quick search of the eBooks using a keyword, just as you would do with a website. As if this is not enough, it is also easy to get quick access to online dictionaries via Safari, so it really isn't a big deal if some unfamiliar words make you stammer while you read Apple's massive collection of eBooks.

Auto-Adjusted Screen Brightness The developers of iPad went so far as program the device to adjust its brightness according to specific environments to make eye strain less of an issue for users. This is particularly important for people who frequently use the device in different lighting conditions.

Don't wish for perfection though. Despite the brilliant design and programming that went into the creation of the product, it still has some limitations. Text and images look washed under direct sunlight, for one.

Home Screen Bookmarking The home screen, is without a doubt among the most versatile features of the device. Aside from allowing the display of the shortcuts to specific applications, iPad's Home Screen also displays your bookmarked websites. For the end users, this means that you can go straight to your favorite websites with just one touch of the bookmarked websites icon.

Browser Dashboard Forget tabbed browser, iPad's Safari offers users a different view of opened 'tabs'. Like the tabbed view we get from laptop or desktop browsers, the dashboard view allows the opening of multiple web pages, only with iPad's Safari, the web pages are shown as thumbnail images of all opened sites. This allows for easy switching between websites. All it needs is a single tap.

Smart Links Mailing is more convenient with iPad. The device is programmed to recognize address, names, numbers and link these to relevant information. This function benefits users by cutting short the time spent on searching online or in the device's storage for information relevant to the inquiry. For example, when addresses are tapped, maps and directions show up on the screen. When a name or a telephone number is tapped, the entire information on the contact list is revealed.

Slideshow Soundtracks We're done with boring, quiet slideshows. Apple's iPad brings forth the option of integrating music and sounds into its slideshow app. Now, that's a good way of jazzing up any presentation you create using Keynote.

Background Music And you thought only slideshows can have a background music...Even while you are searching the web or playing any of Apple's apps, you can have music continuously playing on the background.

Fantasy golf gives golf fans a way to be involved with professional golf, even if their scorecard reaches triple digits.

Office Interiors: Building A Motivational Environment

By Stan Feress

For many, offices are just boring places to work. They're designed to be functional, in most cases, nothing more, so they are done in plain colors and the main focus is on work. However, what many businesses are discovering is that the office environment really does have an impact on the productivity of people. Make sure your office is an area that will motivate people to work hard. Office interiors should be designed to help employees stay on track and keep them happy.

One of the first things to consider is the furniture. It should be functional, but comfortable. Employees who are not comfortable will be constantly getting up to go to the bathroom or get water just to stretch and get out the kinks. While comfy furniture costs a bit more, it will actually go right into productivity.

The equipment that is used also has an effect on how people work. If your computers are years out of date, no one is going to be terribly motivated to use them. Keep equipment up to date and running so that your employees can do their jobs properly. This has a major impact on how motivated people are to do their jobs, as well. When things don't work properly, the frustration levels rise and people will feel unsatisfied with their jobs.

Aside from the more technical areas of the office, there are many other factors that impact the way people work. Color is one. Look at changing up the wall colors. Skip the tan, it's so last decade, and look for something a bit more interesting. Green or blue are both great choices and can really liven up an office. Furniture can also be purchased in colors, so set a color theme and enjoy.

Letting employees decorate their own spaces is a great way to go. They can put up photos and motivational items that will help them work harder. It's easier to remember why you're working when you are looking at a photo of your children. This is a good way to help increase productivity and workplace enthusiasm.

For many companies, it's useful to create a positive environment. Hang motivational photos on the wall, make someone employee of the month and feature them. Create positivity and it will come back to you.

The lights can really affect how people work, too. Insufficient lighting will cause headaches and a general mood drop. Fluorescent lights are particularly bad for this, with their buzzing and flickering. Make sure you provide your employees with great lights, and they will work better. Consider using lamps and task lighting where necessary.

Productivity relies on a number of factors. It's tough to keep them all in mind, but by improving the environment one thing at a time, you'll see a definite improvement.

The vast majority of office interiors are as great as they could be. Often, it's just a few simple changes that could be made to really change things up. Color will really add something, as will letting employees to put up their own decor. Making sure they are comfortable is also a good way to make an office a better place.

By Mary Solinna

Today tons of sketchy products flood the internet, but most of the time; they don't really work as some people say. That makes me to look for a working product which would save me money, time and a headache.

When the Nintendo DSI came out in the late 2008 in Japan, people lined up to obtain it. Then it was released later.

The number of games that can download on your Nintendo's SD card or its internal memory depends on how much space you have on them. Games like Gta China town wars need large space.

If you bought a DS game cartridge and are not satisfied with the game, you probably can not get a refund unless you find it manufactured defection. But Nintendo DSI Downloader has a refund policy to return the money back to you if you are not satisfied with the program. That's the way for back of the program, which I think great.

The Chance To See A Tragic Hostage Crisis That Shocked A Country Right In My Ipad

By Andrew Gullien

This last Aug 23 was a lonely day for the Philippines because former police officer by the name of Rolando Mendoza took Hong Kong tourists hostage and in the end of the day was killed along with 7 other people inside a bus.

I usually have no concern with these kinds of events but this one was particularly different. Here is why.

I was just browsing the internet last week when I happen to see a blog suggesting a very useful application for the iPad that can update you with breaking news 24/7. This so called cool iPad app is from Fox news and after reading the description and I love Fox already in the first place, I decided to download it to my pad. Knowing the news directly was an idea the quite appealed to me.

Although at first it wasn't that compatible with what I was looking but nonetheless, since it was for free I decided to give it a shot. I got my iPad insurance online too and I never had a problem with it, so I was hoping this would be the same case.

So I got the Fox news app and it was running ok in my iPad. Within 2 days I was already appreciating it, getting breaking news and even update stock market news as well. But at this particular flash news about a hostage crisis in Manila last August 23 really was the one that caught my attention.

It was really attention grabbing for me because in the Fox headline, I saw the name of the hostage taker and it immediately rang a bell in my memory. The name really sounded familiar. I would not have taken much notice of this if I didn't have that app. Maybe I would have noticed it but it'll be later in the week.

And right there and then I realized getting news update application for my iPad is another wise product to install besides the insurance for iPad I got online as well several days after I purchased my new Apple iPad.

And after that wonderful online experience I got after purchasing iPad insurance, I was more open to getting apps online but must be from a legitimate and trustworthy company.

The news I got an earlier date made me realize that this man was one of the 10 outstanding police men I saw in my uncle's picture collection in the 1980's.

My uncle was once an active member of JCI and he collected a lot photos and scrap book. It seems that Mendoza was decorated cop; I looked it up the moment I read the news in my iPad.

What happened to this man that pushed him to do such a horrific act of violence is something I'm sure will be the topic of discussion for months to come.

CompTIA Network Support Computer Career Certification - An Update

By Jason Kendall

In this day and age, industry couldn't function properly without assistance from support workers fixing both computers and networks, while making recommendations to users on a day to day basis. As we get to grips with the complex nature of technology, many more competent professionals are needed to dedicate themselves to the many areas we rely on.

Any advisor who doesn't dig around with lots of question - chances are they're just trying to sell you something. If they wade straight in with a specific product before understanding your background and current experience level, then you know you're being sold to.

With some real-world experience or some accreditation, it may be that your starting point of study is not the same as someone new to the industry.

Where this will be your initial crack at studying to take an IT exam then you might also want to practice with some basic PC skills training first.

Those that are drawn to this type of work are usually quite practically-minded, and aren't really suited to the classroom environment, and endless reading of dry academic textbooks. If this is putting you off studying, try the newer style of interactive study, with on-screen demonstrations and labs.

Many studies have proved that we remember much more when we use all our senses, and we take action to use what we've learned.

Search for a course where you're provided with an array of CD or DVD ROM's - you'll be learning from instructor videos and demo's, and then have the opportunity to fine-tune your skills in fully interactive practice sessions.

It's very important to see some example materials from the company you're considering. Be sure that they contain video demo's and interactive elements such as practice lab's.

It's folly to select online only courseware. With highly variable reliability and quality from most broadband providers, it makes sense to have CD or DVD ROM based materials.

Being a part of revolutionary new technology is as thrilling as it comes. You personally play your part in impacting progress around the world.

There are people who believe that the technological advancement that's been a familiar part of our recent lives is lowering its pace. All indicators point in the opposite direction. Terrific advances are ahead of us, and the internet particularly is going to dominate how we conduct our lives.

A typical IT worker across the UK will also get significantly more money than fellow workers in much of the rest of the economy. Typical incomes are some of the best to be had nationwide.

Due to the technological sector developing nationally and internationally, it's predictable that demand for certified IT specialists will remain buoyant for years to come.

It's important to understand: a actual training program or a qualification is not the ultimate goal; a job you're training for is. Far too many training organisations put too much weight in the qualification itself.

It's possible, in many cases, to thoroughly enjoy one year of training and then spend 20 miserable years in a tiresome job role, simply because you did it without the correct level of soul-searching when you should've - at the outset.

Spend some time thinking about earning potential and whether you're an ambitious person or not. This will influence which precise qualifications will be required and what you can expect to give industry in return.

Our recommendation would be to seek advice from a professional advisor before settling on a learning programme, so there's little doubt that a program provides the skill-set required for your career choice.

Spending In Second Life

By Josue Habana

Second Life is a virtual world in which every single item and location is designed and created by its users, commonly referred to as 'residents.' However, what sets it aside from many other virtual worlds is the fact that it has a booming economy. Even in the face of recession, residents continued to spend Linden dollars in world, purchasing anything from virtual services, to pixel furnishings and virtual clothes for their 'avatars.' 2009 saw the economy total 567 million US dollars.

Linden Dollars, the 'currency,' of Second Life can be bought through an exchange, the Lindex. They can then be spent in world and those earning Linden dollars in world can convert them to US dollars and cash them out of Second Life, thus meaning that the platform has immense earning potential for its users and actually generates a very real life income for many.

But what on Earth are Second Life residents actually buying with their Linden Dollars? Well one of the biggest purchases for many is that of virtual land, which can be a place to house a shop to sell your items, a club or venue to host events or even just a virtual home, kitted out with a house and furnishings. There's also big money being spent on avatar appearances. It seems the Second Life users are keen that their characters look the part with thousands of residents shelling out on skins, Second Life clothing and virtual hairstyles.

Another big money area is in that or services. People may pay talented marketers to run the marketing campaigns in world for their brands or they may pay a live musician to perform over microphone at their event.

It can be difficult for those who have never used Second Life to comprehend how others can spend money on items that do not really have a physical existence. But the Second Life economy is very real and is a genuine income for so many. And for those who really don't get it, I simply ask, do you pay for your Internet connection? Because you can't physically touch that either...

Computer Recycling - Switch To Environmental Friendly Mode

By Alfred Lancer

Computer recycling refers to the practice of salvaging useable components from obsolete electronic devices or safely disposing off electronic devices. It is a practice that each one of us must inculcate because inappropriate handling of discarded computers and other electronic devices can cause environmental hazards.

Studies estimate that over 40 million electronic pieces become obsolete annually. These pieces have constituents such as lead, cadmium, barium, and mercury, which are hazardous to the environment. In a landfill, these materials seep into the ground and then into our food and water supplies. This can cause serious health concerns over a long period.

Obsolete Computers: Environmental Threats Obsolete computers that are simply dumped in the garbage drums are the biggest threat to the environment. The computer monitors have cathode ray tubes containing four to five pounds of lead that contaminates the environment acutely. Besides lead, the computers have many other hazardous elements such as mercury, cadmium, and hexavalent chromium. When inhaled over a long period, these elements cause high blood pressure, liver and nerve disease, blood with poor iron, and even brain damage to the exposed group. This causes great concern, considering several million computers become obsolete annually.

Therefore, we must handle the obsolete electronic devices carefully. Moreover, different Environmental Laws have banned the illegal landfills by the disposals of computers and other electronic equipment. These laws necessitate sending the un-functional computers to a reputable recycler for harmless recycling. The laws also specify the need for regular recycling to avoid such computers from piling up.

There are several methods to deal with old computers. Some of them are as follows:

Give It For Reuse: If your computer is in a decent condition, you can sell it to a company or an individual so that it can be used further, or simply donate it to someone needy.

Trade It In: There are many computer dealers (e.g. HP) who offer trade-in promotions on computers and peripherals.

Auction It: You can sell the computer on eBay or any other auction site. You can also organize a quick garage sale and see if any of your friends or neighbors wants the computer.

Set up a Server: You can continue using the old computer as a server to store and share data.

Salvage Some Parts: You can see which parts of your computers are in good working condition. You can salvage those parts and use them in your new computer.

Go for computer recycling and safe the planet earth!

Some Advantages About Jumbo Index Versus Standard Index Playing Cards

By Mary Solinna

Any experienced card player knows that it is important to choose the correct deck for the game that is being played, and for the type of players that will be playing. To choose the best deck of cards, you must understand the differences and benefits associated with Jumbo Index versus Standard Index cards.

Playing cards are identified by their ranks & suits which are printed on in the small traditional fashion that we call "Standard Index"; or, in a larger and easier to see "Jumbo Index". The physical dimensions of the deck is the same, the difference is the size of the print on the cards.

Choosing the correct index depends on a variety of factors in relation to the specifics of your game.

For example, if your are playing Bridge, Canasta, Hearts, or other similar game which requires you to hold many cards in your hand at once, you are likely to prefer Standard Index. With Standard Index cards you can squeeze them close together and still see their identifying marks. However, if your game is the very popular Texas Hold'em which requires you to hold few cards in your hand, and relies heavily on "flop" for all the players crowded around the table to see, you are going to enjoy the ease of playing with Jumbo Index. Besides, to poor eyesight, Jumbo Index will be helpful for them to play, and it is popular with seniors.

Standard Index and Jumbo Index are available in both 100% plastic cards, and plastic-coated paper cards. Probably, you will find most brands of cards are provided in both Jumbo Index and Standard Index at any online playing card retail sites.

Now that you have got a great deck of cards chosen for your game, it is time for you to shuffle up and deal!

Issues have arisen out of the cross-over into television in that sometimes the old school aerial does not live up to the expectations of receiving the signals despite the fact that the converter box has been purchased and installed . In fact after paying for the over one hundred conversion box fee, you may need to pay extra for an aerial that is compatible with that converter box all the while thinking that your old aerial antenna would suffice. And purchasing this antenna has its costs also as it entails the additional coast of hiring a Freeview aerial installer.

And apart from just purchasing an alleged Freeview compatible aerial some costs compound this endeavor. There are several considerations that may add or decrease the cost of installing a new aerial if it is warranted for the use of your new aerial service. Some of these considerations will now be discussed.

The first consideration that may affect the price of installing a new aerial is location. Will the aerial be located on the roof or the loft? The more dangerous the location of the aerial then the higher cost of installation will be. A second consideration is the aerial type you will be installing. There are so many models to choose from and the choice of model will definitely affect your costing.

A third consideration will be the demand for installation. The more people that demand to have aerials installed to get the Freeview will cause delays and therefore the cost here is in the form of time. Likewise if the demand is high you become a price taker and cannot do much on haggling for a lower price from installers.

A fourth and most important factor is your own ignorance. How aware are you that you may not need to buy or install a new aerial after all? Are there other ways to get a clearer reception like adjusting the aerial? Have you really talked to the service provider and asked the right questions so that when you subscribe you will not be spending so much? Did you weigh the options and a do you really need it?

Given these cost scenarios on the installation of your new aerial should you wish to purchase a new one, you should be able to rationally weigh the options and the level of need of some of the options being offered to you by the service provider or by anyone else.

The History Of Xbox360 Revealed

By Todd Schuyler

Welcome to my Xbox360 report. This report will detail the origination of Xbox360. The Xbox360 was coined after a marketing firm that it hired conducted a survey which asked people whether they thought the Xbox evoked a more "next generation" or "next-gen" sound. It was apparent that Microsoft was having worries at that time that sticking to Xbox2 as the name of its new video game console would make it appear or sound older or less "cutting-edge" than its main rival, the PlayStation 3 or PS3.

Keeping such a concept in mind, Microsoft announced in the beginning that it has successfully produced a set of fresh 360 backwards compatibility update of the Xbox which the firm is scheduled to release anytime within the week. This is in keeping with the company's commitment to concentrate on the continuous improvement of the console's features. Peter Moore, the game's top honcho, said the updates are presently having their final testing at Microsoft. Once completed, these will be released to the market sometime this week. This generated a huge buzz.

Aside from the compatibility updates, the Xbox360 is also was reported to have a special feature that has the capability to perform maintenance functions in the console's storage devices. A player, who recently purchased a copy of the video game, said the console's cache can be cleared simply by going to the system blade, then to its memory. From there, the player said, one can press Y on either the HDD or the MU. The said player consequently posted his observations on one of the console's numerous websites.

Microsoft did confirm the existence of the said feature. However, they tried to make it clear to those who purchased the Xbox360 console that while the HDD clearing feature is a part of the game's entire electronic processing system, it is also a part of the technical support process. Ideally, it should only be utilized in instances when technical operations are involved. Moore said that while the said Xbox360 feature, when utilized, will not really harm or cause severe damage to the console, still it is suggested that it be used sparingly and only upon instructions from a qualified Microsoft customer service staff.

The latest model of the Xbox is considerably smaller in size than its predecessor. It also has the obvious looks of a 21st century set top box. In addition, the game also contains a removable hard drive that is located on the left side of the console.

The Xbox360 is, for all intents and purposes, is a most explosive console, a hip next generation video game that has amazing top-of-the-line and cutting-edge features. It promises to provide an amazing digital visual enjoyment. The latest Xbox has a variety of hot as well as new game titles ranging from science-fiction, to adventure, to action, to sports, and to practically anything that the human mind can imagine.

By Jack Jackson

This is another LCD Monitor Repair Tips Article. Fixing a broken LCD Monitor is not as difficult as it may seem. With the proper training anyone can fix LCD Monitors! This article deals mainly with finding the right LCD Monitor Repairman to replace a damaged LCD screen. Investing in a good LCD Monitor Repair Guide can save you hundreds of dollars repairing them yourselves.

Many people become paralyzed with fear when their laptop computers are broken or damaged. They are willing to do almost anything or pay any price to get the offending piece or part replaced so that they can get on with their lives.

One laptop computer part that is especially vulnerable is the screen. An LCD screen, the type of screen that is used in most laptop computers, is very vulnerable to scratching or other types of damage. Fortunately, a damaged LCD screen does not mean the end of your laptop. Replacement LCD screens can be very affordable and the turn around time to getting them fixed can be rather quick if you know where to go and what to look for.

The first thing you will want to do when you are looking for replacement LCD screens is to not panic. Many people get too upset when their computers aren't working and then they set themselves up to get taken advantage of. Investing even an hour or two into finding the right price and an honest repairman could make all the difference in the quality of repair that you get. However, that extra hour or two that you should spend shopping for replacement LCD screens usually won't get your computer back to you any faster and may end up costing you time.

Look for local places with good reputations. Call around and ask about pricing before you show up. You may also want to call friends, family, and acquaintances and ask them for recommendations. Actually, the ideal time to locate honest and good computer repair people is when you first get your new computer. After the warranty runs out, you will need to take care of problems yourself.

I suggest doing research on where to get replacement LCD screens and other parts and repairs when you first get your laptop. However, if you didn't do that, all is not lost. You can still quickly determine where the best place to go to get replacement LCD screens with just a couple of simple tips

There are many stores that offer great prices on the internet for replacement LCD screens. However, unless you are sending your computer back to the manufacturer for a covered repair, sending out your laptop for repairs like getting replacement LCD screens is not reccommended.

With the mail, you are only lengthening the amount of time you are without your laptop. Secondly, replacement LCD screens are a common repair and don't require sending it to some company far from your location. Also, you run the risk of losing or damaging your computer while it is being shipped. Lastly, what do you really know about the company where you are mailing your computer? It could be a scam of some kind and taking action could be very difficult and expensive. Staying close to home is usually a much better and quicker policy.

Why Apple Is The "Apple" Of Tech

By Jay Kubassek

I've been an Apple fan for the last four years, ever since I bought my first Macbook Pro Jan 2005. (This computer is still used ever day by one of our friendly support staffers.) And of course I'm not alone. Apple is one of the most valuable (only second to Exxon) and lovedcompanies in the world. Other companies strive to be the "Apple" of their industry. People want to be seen using their products. Tests have shown people get more creative when using MacBooks. What's their secret?

This is something tech columnist Farhad Manjoo investigates in his latest article for the great business mag Fast Company. He asks the simple question "How does one become the 'Apple of [insert industry here]?'" I'd never really considered why I like Apple's products so much. But it turns out I like them because I like the way they do business.

Here are some reasons I give these guys my business, and more importantly, my respect.

They don't pay attention to what hyperactive, shortsighted tech bloggers are saying. Not simply because they don't care - which they don't - but because they don't even want to know. Steve Jobs, and his cohort of tech and design geniuses, know exactly what they want and how they want to make it.

Why bother listening to anybody else?

Lesson: Visionaries rarely give a lot of attention to what others are doing. Only those without vision care about the competition. And as far as listening to the suggestions of the populace, Jobs favors one of my own favorite quotes, from Henry Ford: "If I'd have asked customers what they wanted, they would have told me, A faster horse!"

Often, the public doesn't know what it wants. It's our responsibility as entrepreneurs to discover what the public doesn't yet know it wants.

Apple only puts out one or two products a year, because everyone in the company is on the same page. They focus all their efforts on a few things of high quality. Google is more decentralized, and they put out more stuff, but of course most of those products fail, badly. Apple puts all their efforts behind a few high-quality things, and then insures that those things succeed.

Lastly, and of specific relevance to CarbonCopyPRO, Apple's customer service is beyond reproach. When you buy an Apple product, you're starting a personal relationship with the company. If you have a problem with your computer, your requests don't get off-shored to a faceless customer service rep in Dubai. You reach out to highly informed and sympathetic Apple experts over the phone or web. Or you stroll into an Apple store and talk to a Genius's face.

Jobs calls the Genius Bar the "heart and soul" of every Apple Store. He understands that customer service is of paramount importance to the success of any company. Despite the fact that we're becoming more and more wired every day, we're still human beings, and we need the company of other human beings to assist us now and again; to motivate us and empower us to persist and prevail.

For the above reasons, Apple gets my business and my respect, along with a probably unhealthy anticipation of the iPhone 5!

Pros And Cons Of Facebook Proxy

By Bern Rueda

Many individuals all over the world really like to use Facebook because of its attractive features. In this social network site, men and women are free to share their stories, discover friends, communicate with love ones, or even publish pictures.

You don't need to be an expert in order to use Facebook. With a little bit of knowledge regarding the social network, you can just use the site to your business' benefit. Proxy companies are also available online but do you really think that it will do you some good?

Some businesses and authorities believe that Facebook kills time and it will not do any good to the business. They claim that the site cannot meet any needs of the business. There are several countries that block business owners in making use of the website for business promotion like Iran and Syria. In accordance to the authorities of these countries, many individuals used the site for promoting criticisms and assaults on their government.

In Syria, when someone criticizes the government, he or she can be imprisoned. Iran regulators also believe that various demonstrations and assaults to their government are organized through social network sites like Facebook or MySpace.

Facebook proxies are not the finest alternative for advertising businesses. Thus, Facebook is the top social network company which permits business promotion. However, if you live in a country where Facebook is prohibited or blocked, you should hesitate about it. Using proxy sites may seem very easy on the part of business owners but using the authentic is the best choice. If you can find a way to join the very big community of Facebook, try to join in because you can meet a lot of potential customers there. Just follow the rules. If the people in your area are free to use Facebook, you should also claim in using it to your advantage.

Slow Computer Problems - Their Cause

By Edwood Maurice Walker

After a year or two, it's usually the case that our computers seem much slower than before. In this article, I want to cover some of the main reasons for this, and let you know what you can do about it.

The main situations that lead to slow computer performance are memory (RAM) and the hard drive. Computers work with data, and moving data around and manipulating it consume the main part of the computer's time. The speed and capacity of the RAM and hard disk determine the speed of these operations - they have a bigger effect than the processor speed.

As your computer gets older, it will have much less RAM than newer computers. This means that it may not have enough RAM to run the latest, most demanding programs at an acceptable speed.

This means that your computer is probably suffering from insufficient RAM. When this happens, it will use the hard disk as a substitute - the only problem is that the hard disk is much slower than the RAM.

The hard disk can become slower over time. As it is filled up, it seems to be working slower. This is because the fastest areas of the disk are used first (the fastest areas are on the outside, the slowest are in the middle.) When data is stored near the middle of the disk, it can be much slower to load and save data.

This should show you that by upgrading your RAM and hard disk, you can get a big boost in performance. This is naturally much cheaper than buying a new computer. There are other things that you can do which are much less extreme than replacing the hard disk and RAM, and you can read about them by following the link below. Sometimes slow down can indicate more serious problems - this site will also discuss those problems, too.

Why Cleaning Up After Windows Can Make Your Slow Computer Faster

By Wesley Wood

So your computer's slow and you have no clue where to start to make it faster? Try cleaning up your Temp folder. Your computer's operating system is designed to run as quickly as possible but after time it will start to slow down (don't worry this is natural). Why does this happen? See when your first get your computer it is completely "clean". Then after you have used it for a while what happens is that it will start to slow down since it starts to accumulate "junk" in different areas of the computers operating system. All you really have to do is to just go in there and clean up all of that junk - yes it's that simple (well for the most part, you do also have to know how to tune your computer but that's more in depth and beyond this article). This is why the idea of registry cleaners is so attractive - it cleans one area of your computer (your registry) to make it faster - but the big problem with registry cleaners is that they only clean one area while there are many different areas that need to be worked on to make your computer faster.

Your computer's operating system (assuming its Windows based) is designed to use RAM as a temporary working place. Now when some of these files are in RAM they also need to work with other files temporarily and in order to do this they need to use a space on your hard drive. This space is folder called your Temp folder and when window's is done working with files in the Temp folder it will just delete them. The problem comes when your computer crashes, freezes or you manually kill a program. The files that were in your computer's Temp folder never got deleted and after time a lot of files can build in this folder and slow your computer down. All you have to do is to just go in there and delete them. Here's how to do it:

If you are running Windows XP on your computer just close all the running files and programs and then click on Start, click on Run and then type %Temp% in the little box and then hit the enter key. Now you're going to get another small window that will now show you what is in your Temp folder. All you have to do now is to just delete everything that you possibly can in that folder. If for some odd reason it says that you cannot delete a certain file, just skip it and move onto the next one.

For those of you using Windows Vista, close all running programs and files and click Start, type Run in the start menu search box. When the Run window comes up type %Temp% and hit enter. Now delete everything that you see in that folder. If there are some files that you cannot delete, then just ignore them and move onto the next one.

So what are benefits of deleting as many files as you can in the Temp folder? Well for starters, you will have more space on your hard drive. You will also speed up your computer because having these files on your computer can actually cause it to have some internal errors which will obviously slow your computer down.

Home Computer Certification In Cisco Hardware Support - Insights

By Jason Kendall

Cisco training is the way to go for those who want to learn about routers. Routers hook up computer networks over dedicated lines or the internet. It's a good idea that your first course should be CCNA. Steer clear of going immediately onto the CCNP for it's full of complexities - and you really need experience to take on this level.

The sort of jobs available with this type of knowledge mean you'll be more likely to work for big organisations that have multiple departments and sites but still need contact. On the other hand, you might end up joining an internet service provider. Either way, you'll be in demand and can expect a high salary.

Achieving CCNA is more than adequate; at this stage avoid being tempted to do the CCNP. Once you've got a few years experience behind you, you can decide whether you need to train up to this level. Should that be the case, you'll have the knowledge you require to take on your CCNP - because it's far from a walk in the park - and mustn't be entered into casually.

How can job security honestly exist anywhere now? Here in the UK, with businesses changing their mind on a whim, it seems increasingly unlikely.

Of course, a sector experiencing fast growth, where there just aren't enough staff to go round (through a massive shortage of trained people), provides a market for real job security.

Reviewing the Information Technology (IT) market, a key e-Skills analysis demonstrated a twenty six percent shortfall of skilled workers. Meaning that for every four jobs that are available around Information Technology (IT), we've only got three properly trained pro's to perform that task.

This disturbing notion reveals an urgent requirement for more commercially certified Information Technology professionals across Great Britain.

Actually, acquiring professional IT skills throughout the next few years is very likely the best career direction you could choose.

Throw out any salesperson who just tells you what course you should do without a thorough investigation to better understand your current abilities plus your experience level. Always check they have access to a large product range so they're actually equipped to give you an appropriate solution.

It's worth remembering, if you've got any qualifications that are related, then it's not unreasonable to expect to begin at a different level to a student who's starting from scratch.

Consider starting with some basic Microsoft package and Windows skills first. This can often make the transition to higher-level learning a much easier going.

What is the reason why qualifications from colleges and universities are being overtaken by more commercial certificates?

With the costs of academic degree's spiralling out of control, plus the IT sector's general opinion that key company training often has more relevance in the commercial field, there's been a dramatic increase in Microsoft, CompTIA, CISCO and Adobe accredited training programmes that supply key solutions to a student at a fraction of the cost and time involved.

Higher education courses, for instance, become confusing because of a great deal of loosely associated study - and much too wide a syllabus. Students are then held back from learning the core essentials in sufficient depth.

Think about if you were the employer - and your company needed a person with some very particular skills. What is easier: Pore through loads of academic qualifications from several applicants, asking for course details and which vocational skills they've acquired, or choose particular accreditations that specifically match what you're looking for, and draw up from that who you want to speak to. The interview is then more about the person and how they'll fit in - rather than establishing whether they can do a specific task.

Each programme of learning really needs to work up to a commercially valid certification at the finale - definitely not some 'in-house' diploma - fit only for filing away and forgetting.

Unless the accreditation comes from a major player like Microsoft, Adobe, CompTIA or Cisco, then chances are it won't be commercially viable - as no-one will have heard of it.

Computer Repair The Consumer Dilemma

By Adriana Noton

It seems as if almost everyone owns a computer these days and they may well use it for almost everything from research to entertainment to socializing. A computer may well take second place only to the cell phone with some users. However, computers can and do break down and unlike the cellphone where a substitute can work with a simple SIM card switch, computer repair can be time consuming and expensive.

At this point is where many computer owners face the question, who is to repair the broken and essential machine. A repair service or shop is always an option and usually they can do the job. However, they are not known for great speed and it could be some time before a computer finds its way home. Some owners call in technically inclined friends to help fix the computer. This might be an answer or it could end up being a disaster. Occasionally a computer owner is technically inclined and brave enough to attempt the job themselves. This can work as well as long as they understand what tasks may be beyond them.

The choice of course is up to the individual and their limits in patience and time. Computer repair shops are not necessarily known for their speed, and this can be a problem for some computer owners whose machines are part of their livelihood or simply important to them. However, when choosing a computer shop to repair the machine, most will back their work with a warranty, something that may not be present when calling a friend or attempting the do it yourself approach.

On the other hand, if it is a relatively simple software conflict or a virus, friends who are technically knowledgeable might provide timely solutions. The problem is that if the amateur makes the issue worse, well all the owner can do is thank them for their time and send the computer off to a shop. If the friend is successful then perhaps a small gift is in order and profuse thanks.

Some few individuals may possess the skills to attempt to repair the computer themselves. If the issue is a bad hard drive, the need for a new video card, or a sound card gone bad then some basic skills and knowledge of computers can be all that are required. However, before opening the case it should be understood that the manufacturer warranty might be voided by breaking the seal.

For more complex issues then self-repair could require considerably more skills and equipment. Shops have spare motherboards, and video units as well as equipment to test for bad parts. Usually most home users do not possess the specialized diagnostic tools.

It is not always wise to attempt to repair a computer if the owner has little or no knowledge of what the parts are, and where they go. If however they feel they have a good idea of the problem they might attempt to remove the part they think is bad and take it to a local repair shop. If it is indeed bad, they can order a replacement though installing and configuring it could be a problem.

There might be a formula to repair confusion that works for most. It is a cost of repair, time of repair versus the skills required to repair. If the skills required are excessive then a San Antonio Computer Repair shop is usually the best choice. In many cases computer users want to remain users, and not technicians and may take the machine to the shop immediately. In other cases the owner may want to attempt a repair and that is their choice.

What To Consider When Purchasing Laptop Computers

By Adriana Noton

Buying a laptop computer is an extremely hard and overwhelming ordeal. Depending on your available budget and inclinations, there are many factors to think of. Considering the money, it is also a critical decision that needs to be considered at great length. Think of the following aspects anytime that you are buying inexpensive netbook or laptop computers.

Although the more money you have to spend, the better device you'll be able to purchase, you can still score a great laptop for a bargain. You just have to know what you look for. Cheaper laptop computers range in price from three to five hundred dollars and can vary greatly in specifications. For that price, you should be able to obtain one with a dual processor. Dual processors allow the machine to run faster and smoother. The processor and its speed can be found out by checking the computer's details.

RAM, or random access memory, should be considered before purchasing a new low priced laptop as well. This is the memory that determines how fast the running programs will be. Decent three hundred dollar laptop computers should be able to contain two gigs at least.

If device's screen size is a key aspect to you, be careful when looking for less expensive computers. Mini laptops are becoming more and more popular and are good products for their price. Only, they feature small, ten inch screens for a cost that is nearly the same as a full sized computer. For the same cost as a mini, you will be able to get at least over a fifteen inch screen.

The hard drive size should be looked at as well. This is the amount of space you'll have on the device to store videos, pictures, music, and other files. You can always add more later, but buying a laptop with a decent amount to begin with is a better bet. There are numerous brands that offer machines at bargain prices featuring one hundred and fifty gig hard drives.

Most laptops on the current market are equipped with optical drives, however there are many that still don't. Check a computer's specs to find out if one is present and, if one is, the type and speed as well. Good drives are able to write and read DVDs as well as CDs. If the optical drive is not an important aspect to you, you can always ignore it.

For anyone who wants a gaming computer, they should only consider devices with decent graphics cards. Decent cards will allow gamers to enjoy high resolution websites and computer games. But more expensive ones will allow users to run bigger and more complex computer programs as well. Most shoppers will find that it is fairly cheaper to purchase a laptop computer and graphic card separate and installing the card a later date.

Last but not least, the device's accessories should be chosen. If extras like built in web cams, video cards, and wireless capabilities are important to you, look for computers that include them. In many cases, the presence of one of the desired appliances will not effect the product's price too much.
