Laptop is one kind of popular gadget that most people in the world are having right now due to the fact that it’s possible for them to do the computer tasks anywhere and anytime they wanted to. On this special occasion, we will not talk about why laptop is popular, but it’s more about the important of keeping your laptop cool. Many different laptop manufacturers have put a lot of money into developing quality cooling systems that are not only efficient but cost effective. This has been one of the biggest problems for laptops historically.

 

When you mention about the computer, CPU could be the hottest part since it works the most job of computer itself and in order to bring cool air, you are welcome to add some fans there especially as we speak about how to make the cooling of the processor more effective. One thing that you as an owner can do, is learn how to keep your laptop cool and this will not only allow your machine to last longer before it fails, but it will also allow you to run applications faster in some cases.

 

Why you should keep your laptop cool? There are so many interesting factors you might find and the first one could be this machine hurts you. How does it possible? It sounds absurd, right?

Disk Defragmentation Really Is Important

When you are having some sorts of problem with the speed of your device and in this case is the computer, you might need to several things, but when you are asking me about the best one, disk defragmentation should be something you give a try. What is it? Have you ever used it before? The computer speed is always the number-one thing that is taken into consideration when using the computer. Even though, computer speed is normally determined by the available memory / free space / random access memory (known as RAM), but there are so many things you could do as you find all factors above in normal condition, which is disk defragmentation and clean up.

 

Disk defragmentation really is important for those who often do the creating / deleting / updating files and folders, installing new software or downloading files on the computer. How does it possible? You might find out that when there is not enough free available space for the same file, the file will be scattered into different pieces and then stored in different places of the hard disk.

 

Time over time, you might not realize when you are doing those things and by the time you delete them, there will be some empty gaps left behind, making the next storage action cannot locate in a single directory together. As the computer become more and more fragmented, it will take more time for the hard disk head to move too much to reach or reassemble the file/folder that we want to read/write, resulting in a slower a computer. In worst cases, there will be possibilities that your computer freeze-ups or even crashes and it will seriously impact your working efficiency and reduce the lifespan of the disk.

 

Based on Wikipedia, Disk Defragmenter is a utility in Microsoft Windows designed to increase access speed by rearranging files stored on a disk to occupy contiguous storage locations, a technique called defragmentation. It’s really useful because it helps you minimize head travel, which reduces the time it takes to read files from and write files to the disk.

 

Keeps your computer on watching while you are not using it could be kind of important. Have you familiar with term of keylogger before? Let’s find out more about it, what this is all about as well as its functions. We should start from its definition. Based on Wikipedia, we should know that Keystroke logging (often called keylogging) is the action of tracking (or logging) the keys struck on a keyboard, typically in a covert manner so that the person using the keyboard is unaware that their actions are being monitored. In a simple explanation, keylogger is kind of computer technology that allow the user of computer to know more about the recent activities which happened on the computer that used by another person.

 

In order to do such a thing, you have to get Keylogger software, which is a small program that records every keystroke on a computer. These are computer-monitoring programs that run undetected and record computer activities. How does it work? It’s really simple because this program will intercept every single keystroke that is made on your computer and store it. The kind of software that spies and hackers love to use as it exposes your innermost secrets – passwords, chats with “close friends” on the internet, that kind of thing.

 

There is another function that keylogger could give to you, which is that it can keep track of all downloads and any changes to your hard drive whether by you or someone else in your house. It will keep track of everything in an encrypted file and run in the background, being undetectable to other users of your computer and not to mention that it has the ability to keep you informed about which websites your children or spouse are visiting. It can record snapshot like pictures called “screenshots” and then report back to you via a log or email.

Japan made supercomputers which has a speed that is equivalent to one million desktop computers. A Japanese super computer has won the title of world’s fastest machine and it beats the record of China during the brief six months. Speed ​​super computer which built by Fujitsu K has the force tripled from the previous title holder and capable of performing calculations quadrillion every eight seconds. One quadrillion is the number 1 followed by 15 zeros and the speed of computer jargon is known as 8.2 petaflop. Previous fastest machine is a computer-1A Tianhe, China, that the velocity 2.507 petaflop, while emphasizing the growth of technology and economic power of China – a country that is growing rapidly.

 

Experts said that the development of K machines is faster than five competitors combined, marking a leap far ahead in the technology world. This machine is very impressive and more powerful than other computers. Supercomputer is developed at the RIKEN Advanced Science Institute of Computing, Kobe, Japan. Giant computer company was engaged in controlling the weather. It consists of 672 computer cabinet composed of the circuit board with 70 thousand processors.

 

K supercomputer spends enough energy to power 10,000 homes electricity. Although, its creators claim that energy-efficient machine, the machine at a cost of £ 6 million a year. K is expected to impact the use of computers in the field of innovative global climate research, meteorology, disaster prevention, and medicine so as to create a prosperous and secure society.

 

Watch the TV through Internet

Kemin On June - 22 - 2011ADD COMMENTS

Watching television could be the most popular activity in all over the world. How about if you can combine that kind of activity with the most useful kind of technology, internet? I bet most of you already heard about the existence of internet television. What do you know about this kind of stuff? Are you confused when you hear internet television and television on the internet? Okay, let’s take a look at Wikipedia which mentioned that Internet television (otherwise known as Internet TV, or Online TV, and not to be confused with Web television or Internet protocol television (IPTV)), is a television service distributed via the Internet.

We all know that the technology has the capability to change the way people enjoy their life, especially as we speak about news and entertainment on the TV. Most people thought that regular TV is the latest kind of technology in the way how we receive the news and entertainment, but now the existence of internet TV changes everything. You might know that Internet TV, in simple terms, is video and audio delivered over an Internet connection. It’s also known as Internet protocol television, or IPTV. You can watch Internet TV on a computer screen, a television screen (through a set-top box) or a mobile device like a cell phone or an iPod.

You all know that the use of computer becomes part of the human culture because there are so many things people can do when they use the computer. Performance of a computer would likely decline as the level of use of the computer itself. Periodic maintenance is required in order to keep computer runs smoothly and works as you expect. Computer owner need to know that there is simple maintenance once a week, depending on the level of computer usage. Here is a simple maintenance guide on the computer and I’m sure anyone can do it.

 

1. Remove unused programs.

Maybe you’ve installed a utility program or a game on your computer but over time, you’ve never used it again. Programs that have not used like that will burden and could also affect the speed of your computer’s loading process.

How you deal with that? Remove these programs by going to Control Panel, and then click “Add or Remove Programs”, Select the applications to be deleted, and then remove.

2. Clean up hard disk from unneeded files

How frequently install and uninstall the hard drive will cause of junk files (junk files) are piled on the hard drive. To clean use a tool CCleaner that you can get on the internet. Or you can also use the default Windows tool by going to Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Cleanup

3. Removing invalid registry

The registry which has been invalid needs to be cleaned or repaired by using tools Registry Cleaner or Registry Fixed so that your computer runs smoothly. You can find tools or fix registry cleaners on the internet.

4. Setting back the startup items

Just look at the top right of your computer screen. There are icons of programs that load at startup on your computer. These programs will slow down loading the computer at startup or during shutdown. You can set up the re-those programs by double-clicking on the icon and choose not to run by windows.

5. Defrag Your Hard Drive

Because of frequent use, the files inside the hard drive become irregular and tend not to be on the tracks—that is why Windows needs a long time to find it. Defragmentation will rearrange the files on your hard drive in order to back them in proper position. The trick is to tap Start> Programs> Accessories> System Tools> Disk Defragmenter

That’s the simple ways you can do to care for and maintain your computer’s performance to keep it running smoothly

IBM had been doing development Graphene transistors which would have started reaping the rewards. Researchers from IBM have been able to make Graphene transistor that can operate at a speed of 155 GHz, which is a slight increase from the previous year record of 100 GHz.

 

IBM in February 2010 years, they used a 240 nanometer technology to make Graphene transistors run faster, which of course cannot be compared with current microprocessor component that has reached 32 nm. However, the current manufacturing technology from IBM Graphene transistors have been through the process of improvisation to the transistors and they are able to reach speeds of 155 GHz using 40 nanometer technology.

 

Graphene carbon-based transistor was developed with DARPA that will be used for the utilization of radio frequencies that require extreme speed by utilizing the frequency characteristics of these molecular transistors because the pattern developed hexagonal design allows electrons to jump with a high speed. This of course will drive the semiconductor world to meet a new window because until now we do not yet have a replacement of the silicon transistor model.
