New Asus N10J A2 Just arrived :)

March 2, 2009 · Comments 

The father of netbooks and considered to be the pioneer of cheap netbooks, ASUS, has just launched….(another) powerful nertbook that has a mid end hardware specs and considered to be the most powerful netbook on the market right now.

It is actually a full netbook but it is compressed like a netbook similar to ASUS N10JC that has the same design and built but varies on the size.

It certainly again raised the bar of the performance of the netbook performance., though it is more pricey than most other netbooks, you could easily procure other regular, more powerful notebook for the same price if you want to compromise its lightness and portability.

The Asus N10J A2 has almost everything going to it but does it justify the 37K ++ pesos value??

How to Choose a Web Hosting Provider for Your Small Business

February 6, 2009 · Comments 

If you want your small business to be successful, eventually you will need your own website. By keeping these five things in mind while shopping for a hosting provider, you can save a lot of headaches down the road.

1. Make sure the provider has a good reputation.
Seek unbiased reviews when looking for a provider. How long have they been in business? Are there plenty of customers singing their praise online? If a provider has a lot of downtime or horrible tech support, it won’t take long to find out.

2. Do they offer hosted exchange email services?
This will save you a lot of money and problems down the road. With exchange services your employees can access their messages anywhere- at home, on the job, even from their cell phone. You also save money, since you don’t need to spend resources on IT professionals and system administrators. The exchange service handles all this for you.

3. What level of customer support do they offer?
24/7 is the only acceptable answer here. They need to have knowledgeable support specialists and offer help via several outlets including chat, toll free numbers, and email. Make sure you are aware of what level of support is available for your hosting plan and if there are any additional costs it may entail.

4. How do they handle data back-ups?
The last thing you want is to lose your site and all the information you worked so hard to get on there in the first place. Make sure the provider does regular back-ups and gives you the ability to do them yourself manually.

5. Will the provider give your business room to grow?
Check out all their plans to make sure you can grow with the provider. Can you host unlimited sites? Do they offer a comprehensive list of marketing tools? If you do one day need to switch providers, make sure they have transfer protocols in place to make it as painless as possible.

Taking your small business online is the best thing you can do to grow your company. By doing your research you can find a provider that offers maximum value for minimum dollars.

The Human Tongue Gets Useful in Another Way

September 2, 2008 · Comments 

We do a lot of things with our tongue. Aside from using it to taste things and aid a lot in biting, chewing and swallowing food, the tongue is often used to do mischievous things. I can just stick my tongue out at you and you’ll be annoyed (and perhaps angry) at what I just did. Of course, the tongue is also absolutely great to use – for kissing.

Georgia tech researchers at Atlanta, Georgia have recently developed another very useful ability for the tongue: to act as a computer control pad. This discovery can help disabled persons who cannot voluntarily move a muscle from their neck down to their feet. The Tongue Drive System turns the tongue into a joystick which makes it now possible for the person to control everything around him. This includes moving around, doing housework, operate appliances and even controlling a computer.

The Tongue Drive System is composed of a magnet which is placed under the person’s tongue to monitor the movement. Sensors are placed beside each cheek to detect the magnet’s movement. The information is passed through a receiver, which is contained in the person’s headgear. A computer processes it to interpret the information and perform such necessary movements.

Maysam Ghovanloo, leader of these cool Georgia tech researchers, mentioned that their group is further looking into the possibility of using the neighboring parts of the tongue. They are trying to work out more commands that enable a person to use the teeth and cheek.

We’re talking of the whole mouth being turned into a computer console someday!

At this time, I don’t think the tongue, being the strongest muscle of the human body, would get tired moving around the mouth to do such commands.

Soon there will be a phase out of those 3.5 GB DVD that you are always using when burning DVD movies.

Pioneer has released on what they claim as the world’s first 16-layer optical disc. With 400 GB Capacity [ An ordinary 3.5 GB DVD ) is only Single Layer.

Right now the technology is Read Only but I do believed that soon they will release the Re-write version of this DVD. But how much will the machine to rewrite this DVD cost?

Let us see what will happen next. Maybe I have to go back to this post after a year?

Anyway, it is really great that Technology is advancing. Just imagine if your regular DVD could hold about 4 movies, this DVD would hold about 200 + Movies.
