computer protectionIn modern times it almost goes without saying that an anti-virus program is required, but there are many other forms of protection that you should use to keep yourself safe as well, depending on your particular situation. Types of protection you can use may include the following.

Anti-malware

Truthfully, the difference between “malware” and “viruses” is often pretty much just usage. Sometimes people will call a particular program ‘malware,’ and other times it will be described as a ‘virus.’ The main difference in terms of how it’s used is related to how its Continue reading »

Pet ownership is hard. First you have to pick the animal, then take it home, train it, feed it when it’s hungry, take it to the vets when it gets sick, pet its needy little face all the time, walk it and eventually bury it in a moment of great emotional toil.

Is this really how it has to be? In the future, why can’t our pets be robotic? Self-maintaining, autonomous, with no stomach to fill with expensive kibble or fleshy organs that are susceptible to disease. Think of the money and emotional hardship that could be saved?

Here then, are 3 amazing robotic pets pushing pet ownership into a new age. Continue reading »

Video

When it comes to promoting a cause or a business, nothing works quite like a viral video. Some viral videos just happen on their own while others are designed with viral marketing in mind. Here are four of the most amazing viral videos out there.

1. Jeff Gordon Test Drive

One of the most interesting and hilarious viral videos to come out recently is the one that involves Jeff Gordon taking a test drive at a car lot. He approaches an unwitting salesperson as he’s dressed in disguise. Then he takes off at rapid speed and engages in some pretty unbelievable stunt driving before coming back to the dealership. It’s hilarious to watch the expression of the sales person throughout the Continue reading »

sensorly mapview android cloud appPrior to the late 1960s, geographers around the world mapped their environments with pens, rulers, grids, planimeters and paper. For centuries, mapping has been considered an art form, as it still is today. As all arts do, GIS systems evolve, and the art of mapping has taken on a technological slant. To understand the future of anything, we must understand its past and present. Here is a brief overview of GIS:

1. The Birth of GIS

In the late 1960s and early 1970s, GIS was coined as a term and introduced to the world. Mapmakers who were used to working with art supplies now had a new medium: the computer. Using organized sets of X, Y coordinates, these pioneers plotted, drew, scaled and projected maps. Rather than having to spend weeks or months redrawing a map, GIS offered artists the ability to reorder and Continue reading »

Tablets vs. Laptops: What you need to expect if you decide to replace a laptop computer with a tablet device

I am writing this article on a newly purchased 64 GB Windows RT Tablet by Microsoft. It cost me a total of $813.82 and comes with a simple ac adapter and touch cover keypad which I am using to type out this article. I bought this device because my current computer (a Hewlett Packard) is running an outdated operating system and has lost significant battery charge over the last 3 years. I have also experienced frequent problems with my HP laptop’s screen that constantly flickers because of a loose connection. I decided to buy the Windows Surface because it came with a word processor and many other features which makes it more of a pc than an actual tablet. However there are still some differences between the two types of devices that need to be addressed. Consider this a guide to the differences between a tablet computer and a laptop computer.

The first major difference is that a tablet has a lot less processing power than a computer and is thus incapable of running complex programs and software. If you are looking for it to play a complex game Continue reading »

tablet-fun.deThe tablet PC’s ascent into the mainstream market as a basic computing and internet access device of choice was a rather abrupt one, if you’re an adherent of the idea that the Apple iPad was the true catalyst for its ascendancy. I’m not writing about who started the tablet computer revolution, so let’s keep going towards my point.

Up until recently, you’d be more likely running your entire internet on a desktop or laptop/notebook computer (operating system is sorta irrelevant). They had varying degrees of portability, but they weren’t quite as portable as you would want them to be. You couldn’t really take it into the Continue reading »

Lazerwood Keys – Wooden You Like One Of These?

lazerwood keys

Here’s an idea for all you entrepreneurs to jump on. Currently available only for Apple keyboards, is Lazerwood Keys. These keyboard kits provide the tactile beauty of wood in either walnut or cherry, and were created to perfectly compliment Apple’s extended desktop USB keyboard.  However, this package takes some nimble fingers and patience to install, but the end result is stunning.

The thin adhesive-backed wood pieces adhere to the keys firmly, with characters and symbols laser cut with beautiful precision. Because so much care has to be taken to get the keys properly positioned before pressing the wood pieces in place, and the restriction of keyboard models that they are available for, it opens the market to anyone to make pre-laminated keyboards.

For more information about the Apple kits, visit http://www.lazerwood.myshopify.com.
