Smart phones will soon replace many stand alone pieces of electrical equipment we currently own. The speed of mobile processors, the quality of inbuilt cameras and data storage capabilities will allow smart phones to replace many of the desktop and laptop products we currently [...]

I have been harping on for a while now about how mobile phones will eventually become mobile PC’s. Most new smart phones now feature processors with 1Ghz or faster processors, sophisticated operating systems and a multitude of software available. The only gap has been the ability to connect them to keyboards and screens in an [...] Computer on a Sodimm If someone had suggested 10 years ago that a fully working computer with up to 1GHz of processing power would fit on a board the size of a SODIMM memory module (67mm x 32mm), some lighthearted mockery may have followed. However, hardware specialist Toradex is about to do [...] It is not often these days that a piece of software makes me go “Wow” but yesterday was one of those days. I had recently been considering a Photoshop upgrade from my trusty old CS2 version for a number of reasons, but had held off mostly because of the lack of new worthwhile features. However, after having [...] Linux Mint If you are anything like many of our clients you have an older PC or laptop that has been semi retired due to variety of reasons. Most do not have the latest Windows updates and many have expired or outdated antivirus software [...] A couple of years ago I learnt the hard way about the value of digital data. Unknown to my wife and I we had been targeted by a professional team of theives. Only minutes after we had left home one morning both our dead bolted doors and security screens had been smashed out of their frames. A truck was reversed into our driveway and virtually everything of any value loaded into it – and I mean everything! Computers, printers, TV’s stereo equipment, video camera, still camera, jewelery, clothes, coffee machine, DVD & CD collections etc. Upon arriving home it took a while to consider all that we had lost…… my entire digital family history was gone. Everything was on our PC’s and the backup drive. From photos of family & friends, home video of my only son from baby till 6yrs old, scans of old irreplacable analogue photos from grandparents….all gone! Add to that all our business & tax records, email history etc and I realised that the physical losses were the least of my [...] Fact: Fixed Phone lines are doomed. And good riddance I say. Phone lines are expensive to run & maintain, ugly when hoisted into the air above our streets and susceptible to damage from lightning, wind, rain and fire. Mobile networks are far better in that mobile towers are less susceptible to damage and cheaper to maintain. [...] Twice this week I have run into small business people who are being ripped off when purchasing domain names and web hosting. Most business owners do not have the time or knowledge to investigate cheaper/better alternatives to their current solutions. For any of you taking the time to read this post you most likely find [...] In this previous post I vented my unhappiness with the world of generic pc hardware and Windows Media Center. As stated in the article, I sold my Media Center and went out and bought a new PS3 250Gb with PlayTV and remote. This is actually a big step for me because I generally avoid the Sony [...] I was sitting at home the other day cursing the fact that my Nokia E71 would not sync properly with my desktop PC. As I sat there plugging-unplugging-cursing-replugging I thought to myself “do I really need a desktop PC?”. My phone has an “always on” internet connection, wifi, email, web browsing, office apps, a pdf reader, media playing ability and more. Unlike a laptop it also has a battery which lasts for days, virtually never needs rebooting and does not need antivirus or firewall [...] |
