Covering Your Computer’s Footprints

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

When you delete a file, email, or piece of internet history on your computer, where do you think it goes? Unfortunately it doesn’t just disappear like many of us would think and hope it does. Every time you use your computer, you’re leaving little footsteps that can be traced back to everything you do. Every word you type, every password you save, and every email that you delete are most likely being saved somewhere on your computer.

To make matters even worse, these little footprints take up valuable hard drive space. Every one that is created will slow down your computer a little bit more, causing more constant crashes and long boot times. Finding these footprints is also almost impossible if you don’t know what you’re doing. Programs can find these without even trying though.

With almost no technological knowledge, a computer user could download a program and retrieve files and emails that you thought you deleted long ago. These pieces of software are a dime a dozen, you never know who could be looking through your history. That means your boss, spouse, or just a friend could search through everything you’ve ever done on your computer; that’s a bit frightening.

The privacy problems with these footprints are very legit. Legal action can be taken against people who haven’t properly cleaned their computers. From divorce to lawsuits, you need to be sure that your computer is being taken care of. Many wives have found incriminating data that their husbands failed to delete properly and have filed for divorce, often taking a lot of money.

One place that the files will store themselves is called the Windows Registry. You can open this program by getting into the run dialogue and executing the command REGEDIT. It is highly recommended you don’t touch anything in this window unless you are absolutely sure you know what you’re doing. You could easily damage or destroy your computer by messing with entries in the Windows Registry.

Back Up Your Important Files

Sunday, November 29th, 2009

Six of the simplest ways of backing up your files is to partition your computer hard disk in to 2 parts. Use six part for the jogging of the operating method & the other for saving all your documents. Why do this? Well, if you store your documents on the same drive jogging your operating method & your method crashes then you will very likely lose all your information. If your cannotpartition your had disk by your self, ask a techie to handle it for you. If you already have it partitioned, do this right now.

Now you have insured your documents. If a crash occurs (& you can never know when),then you can still retrieve information from this drive.

1. Go to where you save all your important documents.
2. Copy all the documents.
3. Go to the 2 drive
4. Generate a new folder
5. Paste all your documents in this new folder

Another simple way of backing up your information is to use a free service provided by Google called -Google docs. Google docs is simple to use. You can see it as an online storage & preparation tool or service for word documents & spreadsheets.

pick a number of your important documents in word, PDF or presentation format & upload them to your account on Google docs. If your laptop crashes,you will still have those files online-in your Google docs account.

Keep in touch using internet conferencing

Thursday, October 8th, 2009

In this day and age when so much is available on the internet it’s amazing that anyone still opts to pay over the odds for something that they could get far cheaper or even free online. Voice calls, video calls and conference calling can all be done over the internet and in many cases at no cost; yet a significant amount of computer owners with internet access still revert to using costly phones for their voice communications.tech

But, it’s not just a cost issue. For example, have you ever tried to organise a conference call using traditional telephones? It’s such a major logistical exercise that it’s easier not to bother. You have to pre-book your slot and it costs money. Granted, for some of the participants who subscribe to premium telephone calling plans there is no charge but others will be charged at the prevailing local rate.

In addition, before you can use the pre-booked slot all participants have to read through an email, in which the phone company invariably tries to sell you add-on services, just to find the access codes needed to join the conference.

As a result, it is much easier - and cheaper - to use an online VOIP service. With most major providers you simply click on contacts you wish to invite to the conference call and they join in if they want to – it’s as easy as that! Up to 10 people can join in and if you need to include someone who does not have a user-id for the service you are using you can still call their landline number at significantly lower rates than landline costs to invite them to join. That also applies if you wish to invite mobile phone users to the conference.

The conference calls feature is also a godsend for small and medium sized businesses with offices in several different locations. Call quality is the same wherever you live, it makes no difference whether everyone in the conference call resides in the same street or on opposite sides of the world.

Samsung X-Series laptop

Saturday, September 19th, 2009

We nabbed whatever instance with Samsung’s stylish arrange of X-Series notebooks here at IFA. Like the X-Slim distinction from MSI, Samsung’s arrange is aimed at those who desire Apple MacBook Air-like thinness, but with more control than a netbook.

Naturally this comes at a toll and, patch UK costings weren’t available, Samsung says the newborn models will outlay between 699 and 899 Euros. As there are slightly heavier notebooks reaching in at around the £500 mark, you’re feat to have to rattling desire a anorectic and reddened help to bomb discover the extra.

The newborn X520, X420 and X120 interval in alongside the existing X360, which is existence preserved at the broad performing modify of the line. We may wager the 11.6-inch X120 on understanding in the UK over the incoming month, but it will probable attain its flooded entry alongside the another digit models. The X520 and X420’s UK promulgation fellow will coexist with the start of Windows 7 on 22 October. Windows Vista Home Premium is the underway OS in the spec, so it seems probable they’ll have Windows 7 Home Premium, though Samsung couldn’t support this.

If you same a diddy notebook, the X120 is superior (above and below). However, primeval variants will probable have a azygos set defect kinda than the Intel Core 2 Duo processor which is included in the bunk digit models. All are ULV (Ultra Low Voltage) chips, though the literal versions that will be consumed are not clear. For our money, the X120 concealment seems a lowercase small, but it’s mostly owing to the 16:9 info making it countenance that way.
