If you have an older iPhone whose contract is over or because you bought a newer version, you can continue using it as an iPod touch. A support article in Apple lists out instructions to convert your iPhone that can be used as an iPod touch with Wi-fi support facility. Once you go for a newer model for your iPhone or cancel your tariff/wireless service account for your iPhone, now it is still possible for you to continue with your older iPhone use without an active cellular service. You can do this by using it with your Wi-Fi.

For older versions of iPhone such as 1G/2G, what you need to have is original SIM card for technical support. This is important without which it would be of no use. However, 3G iPhone and 3GS iPhone can use any SIM card to activate the phone that is to be used for your iPod Touch. So do not throw away or sell that old iPhone. Instead, why not create a nice surprise gift for someone who has been waiting to get an iPod Touch.

It may be that you have now brand new 32GB iPod touch. You have been playing with its trendy features, installing applications, and listening to your favorite music. There are so many interesting things that you will love to do by discovering it for the first time in your brand new 32GB iPod touch. You can expect a lot of tips and tricks in your favorite online tech support forum.

Protection For Your Computer Network

Protection For Your Computer Network

It is likely that you are doing everything within your power to protect yourself from predators, not only the type that can harm you physically, but the type they can harm your business electronically as well. Unfortunately, there are many things that can go wrong with our computers as well as our networks, so it is important to make sure that everything is up to date and as secure as possible. What are some of the things that you should keep in mind when you operate a business that relies heavily on computers and internal networks?

One of the most important things for you to consider in this regard is having the highest quality antivirus and anti-spyware software operating on your computer. These programs should be updated regularly to make sure that they have the latest definitions and are able to successfully overcome any of the most recent threats that have been released. In addition, you should make sure that you are updating any software that you are using on the computer for many of the same reasons. Software often has issues that allow hackers to take advantage of the fact that you are using it on your computers. Those security holes are often plugged in by updates, so you want to make sure that you are updating as regularly as possible.

Another problem that you may experience is the fact that your employees may not know how to avoid those problems when they are using your computers. This is especially a problem if they are allowed to have open access to the Internet. Simply visiting the wrong website or downloading anything from a graphic to a music file could give access to your network to outside resources. A continuing educational process is necessary to avoid these problems, especially when you consider how quickly things change online.

Even if the network in your business is compromised in some way or another, there are still some things that you can do to beef up the server security and avoid some of the potential problems. Running a high quality encryption software on your computers is one way for you to protect them further. Even if an outside source has access to the hard drive, it will do them very little good if they are unable to decrypt the encryption. It is up to you to decide if you are going to encrypt the entire hard drive or if you are only going to encrypt the most sensitive files.

One other thing that you might want to consider is limiting access to the network, particularly if you engage in any type of secure printing or if you have areas of the network that are for secure files. If you limit the ability of your employees to access those secure areas, it is less likely that any outside resources are also going to be able to access those areas as well. It is just one other way for you …

Understanding UDP and Its Functions

Understanding UDP and Its Functions

So, what is UDP or User Datagram Protocol? UDP is an internet protocol for the transmission of brief messages known as datagram. The User Datagram Protocol is only one part of a bigger Web Protocol suite. UDP is used networks designed for TCP. Nevertheless, UDP is much less dependable and you aren’t at all times positive you will get the info in the precise sequence. David P. Reed formulated user Datagram Protocol in 1980.

To grasp what UDP is, you should first understand what a typical IP network looks like. A typical IP network has five layers. The primary layer is the physical layer, which consists of fiber optic, coaxial, or twisted cables. The second layer is the data link layer equivalent to GPRS, Wi-Fi and ISDN. The third layer is the internet or the network layer. The forth layer is where UDP lies and that is the transport layer. The final layer is the application layer and common applications are Telnet, HTTP, and DNS.

To grasp UDP, you should note that with this protocol, there isn’t a requirement that the recipient of the info acknowledges that the data has been sent. There are no implicit checks on transmission to guarantee datagram integrity and to guarantee the right sequence is maintained. Although the lack of transmission checks could make you doubt whether UDP is a useful protocol, you need to note that in some applications, pace is more useful than reliability. With UDP, errors are checked and corrected in the applications and never the network layer. At any time when error correction is required throughout transmission, the application makes use of the TCP, or Transmission Control Protocol, or the SCTP, or Stream Control Transmission Protocol. These protocols are designed for this precise reason.

To know UDP, you need to observe that the protocol is stateless. That is essential for servers which are utilized by several clients to answer brief queries. UDP is therefore advantageous over TCP in that it can be used for multicasting or packet broadcasting where data is sent to different clients while TCP is only used between one client and the server. Most of today’s network applications similar to VoIP, or Voice over Internet Protocol, DNS or Domain Name System, and TFTP or Trivial File Transfer Protocol use UDP because of this advantage. Since UDP does not have a mechanism that can be used to keep away from congestion in a network, there are several solutions which are used. Probably the most common solutions is the Datagram Congestion Control Protocol, or DCCP.

Despite the great speed and the truth that UDP can be used by several clients, to understand UDP, you need to know the limitations of the protocol. The most obvious limitations are the truth that there isn’t a avoidance mechanism and the truth that there isn’t a congestion control. These are severe limitations and it means the protocol cannot be used where sensitive data is being transmitted. If an individual …

Runtime Errors – What Are They and How Do I Stop Them?

Runtime Errors – What Are They and How Do I Stop Them?

The name “runtime error” came about because this type of error does not stop Windows from running. This is in contrast to a “stop error” which will stop Windows from operating altogether. Even though a runtime error will leave Windows running it will usually stop the program you are running at the time the runtime error occurred. So, it actually stops you from what you’re doing even though it isn’t technically a stop error. Given this information, the most important question is, what do you do to further prevent such errors from occurring? In this article, we will tell you how to eliminate all but the most stubborn runtime errors.

By nature, runtime errors indicate compatibility problems. In the older days of computer technology a runtime error would show you the program you’re running was not compatible with the operating system you are using on the computer. Sometimes, a developer would actually have to go back to the software writer and tell him of the problem and ask for a fix for this problem.

A Compatibility Issue

In more recent times, such errors occur when certain programs are run on a version of Windows it is not compatible with. For instance, trying to run a Windows XP program on Windows ME would commit a runtime error. Another similar type of problem would be the program files have become corrupt. When this happens, the fix is to reinstall the program. It is also wise to update Windows to make sure all of your Windows files are overwritten so none of these will be corrupt. Of course, updating Windows is easy; just go to your start menu and you will find “Update Windows.”

Spyware Eats Into Windows Files

After you have Windows updated and you have reinstalled the program that was causing problems, it is still possible you have not eliminated the error. This is because there are a couple more things that could be behind the problem. One potential problem would be malicious software or, spyware as it is more commonly known. Because spyware uses files in Windows it can cause incompatibility problems between Windows and the program you are running.

The Registry Files Also Need To Be Maintained

However, more and more in recent times, I am finding just about all runtime errors are caused by corruption in the Windows registry. It appears the quickest way to go about eliminating any error that is popping up onto your screen is to run a trustworthy registry cleaner. Because the registry is actually the directory Windows goes to in order to find its next operation, anything corrupted inside the registry might give Windows the wrong information and cause an error.

Therefore, I still believe reinstalling the program that is running when a runtime error is committed is the right thing to do. Also, I feel you should keep your Windows operating system up to date. Still, registry corruption accumulates very …

Things to Consider Before Installing Remote PC Access Software

Things to Consider Before Installing Remote PC Access Software

It is true that remote PC access software can reduce the hassle and improve work efficiency of a person since he can do his computer work even when he is away from the computer. However, before having a remote PC access software installed in your computer, there are some matters that you need to deliberate first.

First, what are you going to use this software for? Will you just use it for reading and managing work files? Will you use it to access your work email client that is only installed in your office computer? Do you want to have complete access such that you would be able to both read and create emails and other files? There are software programs that only allow you to read remotely, but you cannot change anything which greatly helps in security. But if you need to work from a distance and don’t want the hassle of bringing the PC or the hard-disk drives along with you, then you should opt for the program that allows you to do such.

Second, how can the security be maintained? The number one concern with the different programs out there is the possibility that someone might access your PC without your knowledge and collect sensitive information that you are keeping. As such, establishing security protocols are necessary. Popular security protocols include establishing a password or pass key and linking your computer to the other computer or laptop that you would use to access it. This way, if your office computer does not recognize the computer someone else using to access it, it will bar the person from connecting to the computer.

Third, what are the connection conditions? Usually, remote PC access software requires an established connection, one that does not get disconnected easily. This is part of a security measure so that you won’t be easily disconnected that may endanger the files in your computer. However, there are also some programs that will allow Dial-Up, satellite and wireless connection. Still, the most desirable connection is the Broadband, and the most discouraged is wireless connection via cell phone.

Fourth, how much are you willing to pay? Large and established companies pay millions of dollars to have remote PC access software that is reliable and secure, especially since crucial information are usually stored in their computers. Companies who utilize expensive remote PC access software suites that are created especially for them are finance companies, customer service companies and others of similar nature. If you are on a limited budget, it would be best to canvass the cost of remote PC access software from various providers to get the best deal.

Finally, who are the people who can get entry? Would you allow your employees to have access to their office computers as well, would there only be a select few? If you are planning on using only your computer, who are the people who have the information regarding your remote …

Biography of Kevin Peterson

Biography of Kevin Peterson

Kevin Peterson is the Computer Science teacher in Wheel Tree high school in Baredrill, Kentucky. He also works as the computer lab administrator. His job is to take care of the computer systems of the school, as well as teach the computer science curriculum to students.

Technology is an important part of education. Since the past years, US government has been spending more in the field of education. We have seen a number of technological advancements on most schools. Today, students know about computer technology and programming at an early age. Technology is touching every aspect of life- it has become imperative to include it in our education system.

Though we have seen some negative reactions from some people, and they say too much technology might ruin the classroom environment and students wouldn’t be able to relate to other humans, but I feel that technology helps them connect to outer world. You can easily study the history and geography of some other country, while connecting to their people and getting first hand information.

Experiments can be easily explained with the help of technical equipment. Having overhead projectors in classrooms helps teachers explain their lecture with much ease as compared to traditional blackboard approach. Computers can actually stimulate the minds of students and make them think regarding various real life situations.

Many parents and policymakers are not sure if the amount invested in technology in classrooms is actually giving benefits. I would like to tell them that it is. CARET (Center for Applied Research in Educational Technology) and NCREL (North Central Education Lab) have documented some studies that show that technology is related to academic excellence.

More studies have shown that learning about technology should start from kindergarten itself. It is better to familiarize students with technology at an early age. Technology should be incorporated in students’ assessments, teaching materials and curricula.

It is important to train teachers about latest techniques so that they can teach their students in a better way. I am very comfortable with these changes, being from computer science department, but the teachers from more conventional subjects need special training for using technical equipments. But it is not exactly difficult. One hour classes every day for about a week can easily train anybody. These devices make learning faster and teaching easier. So in case you are not aware of new technology, it is better you start learning now, as pretty soon all the classes of US would be technology driven, and while hiring for new teachers, schools would give preference to those who are well-versed with the latest technology.…

What Will We Do With Our Free Time?

What Will We Do With Our Free Time?

When I was a boy in the Seventies, I remember being told many times that in the future (meaning now) we would only work four days a week for short hours, and we would have lots and lots of days off. The problem and the question, then was, ‘what would we do with our free time?’

Now, I am optimistic: I assume that those days will indeed come. The caveat is that apparently we’ll have to go through the computer dark ages before we arrive to our liberation. Hopefully, as the very nature of computer technology is mega fast growth, that won’t take 300 years as the last terrible Dark Age did.

Many people like to blame the economy for the hard times we’re in, but to me it seems that everyone has a different opinion of what the actual problems are, which means that after all everyone is confused. In any case, everyone talks about money as the big problem. That’s fine for them to talk about, but I’m more interested in how computer technology is changing our lifestyles.

Maybe I am an example of the future. I am underemployed (while my one sister does the work of three people and the other does none at all), don’t have a high income, don’t need or own a car (plenty of public transportation), and I have decent health insurance (including dental). I have a lot of time off but I don’t spend much money. I communicate with people from around the world using voice chat (I have reached a point in life where I spend more time talking to people on the net than I do in real life) and I rarely go out for dining or even to watch a movie. I also like to watch documentaries on the net. Going out usually means hiking the local mountain.

Sounds really boring and sad, I’m sure. But I’m happy with my life. And my guess is that people aren’t going to be like me. They’re going to get really plugged in to virtual reality. That’s where most of us will be spending our free time in the future, and it will be really cheap.…

Pointers In Building A Computer Fit For A Gaming Enthusiast

Pointers In Building A Computer Fit For A Gaming Enthusiast

Majority of PCs sold in the malls are built by manufacturers, and they have limited customization options. Some gaming enthusiasts find it difficult to get the system they want because a number of pre-built ones lack one or two features that they want. As the buyer moves up the price scale, he will find a different model which has those features, but also has add-ons which he sees no use for, which makes purchasing such system impractical.

Wouldn’t it be wonderful to be able to have your gaming rig custom-built? Apparently, you can, and it’s easy enough to do on your own. Many gaming aficionados have become more partial to homebuilt gaming rigs because it allows them to have more control of what goes into the system as well as the cost.Being able to make modifications to the original build at a later date with little hassle is another benefit to having a homebuilt addition, it gives you the flexibility to try things provides you freedom to customize your unit as you see fit.

You don’t need to be a pro to build your own gaming requires however good understanding of the components of a PC and their relationship to each other, persistence and time to find the best components, and some elbow grease to assemble the unit and screw and plug everything in place.Those who have successfully built their own gaming rigs are one in saying that determining which components to purchase is a lot more difficult than actually putting them is because you also have to make sure that the parts are compatible with the forums are a great source for these computer component checklists.Reading the recommendations of other gamers can help you determine which components to recommended system configuration of the games you intend to play can also be pretty 3D games today require at least 4GB of RAM, and a dedicated video card with DirectX 11 support.

Gaming computers demand cutting-edge performance, which does not necessary mean the most example, if you’re on a budget, you can get an AMD chip rather than an if you’re bent on buying an Intel processor choose a dual-core instead of a 3D games don’t take full advantage of quad-core processors anyway and frame rates are influenced more by the graphics card than the central processor.

To have a fantastic gaming rig, you need to buy the best gaming monitor as as we mentioned before, the best monitor for gaming does not always have to be the best monitors for gaming are those that show vibrant and clear graphics and no best monitor for gaming should also be durable, intuitive, and have ergonomic features.

Purchase plug-and-play peripherals like keyboard and mouse or gamepad that have good sensitivity and accuracy as well. And to round up your system, don’t forget to buy an excellent audio system too.…
