1. Before sitting down for coding, you must have formal or a paper-napkin design of the solution to be coded. Never start coding without any design unless the code is trivial one.
2. Good code documentation is as important as good knowledge of a programming langauge. Write brief logic for each major block of your code as comments in source code file itself. Its good to mention creation and modification dates of your program along-with why modification was required.
3. Maintaining versions of your program is another important task. Some present-day programming tools already have a built-in version management. Whenever you make any change to your program, they save its copy as .bak file.

If a definition of a computer is that it is a piece of equipment that needs to follow various directions in order to carry out the tasks required of it, then the history of computers can be traced back to Charles Babbage's 'analytical engine' of 1837. The instructions that these machines or computers, as we call them, follow are written as lines of programming in a programme (UK) or program (USA).

In fact, there were several 'programmable' devices before the 'analytical engine.' The was the Al-Jazari castle clock of 1206, which told the times of the year, the seasons, the phases of the moon and much more besides and the sequences could be adjusted - a kind of early programming.

An analyst firm Jefferies upped his Apple share price target from $800 to $900 on Friday as a result of high expectations for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 5 launch. Apple’s stock was already trading at a new high at $644.13 earlier this morning, just $0.16 above its earlier 52-week high. Jefferies analyst Peter Misek said he expects the iPhone 5 to blow every other smartphone launch out of the water and that, upon its release, it will be “the biggest handset launch in history.”

Misek isn’t the only one who believes the iPhone 5 will be a resounding success. Piper Jaffray analyst Gene Munster recently said that he expects Apple to sell between 5 million and 10 million iPhone 5 units in September alone.

 A Massachusetts company takes off with the concept for the flying car which can travel at a top  speed of 115 mph.

Recently the rumors of Terrafugia releasing its first Personal Air Vehicle (also known as Roadable Aircraft), Transition and of Moller's test flight (and drive!) of Skycar in 2012 have been making the rounds and with it, the curiosity over how flying cars would work, has increased more than ever. Here's an article on how the flying cars will work.

For over a hundred years, right from the time when airplanes were invented, people have worked on inventing a 'flying car'. It is only now, when science and technology have reached greater heights, that the dream of the common man owning his own personal air vehicle seems to be plausible. One of the biggest proofs of this new reality is the stamp of approval given by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the mass production of Terrafugia's personal air vehicle, Transition. So to know how exactly this personal air vehicle will work, let us start from the basics.

Basics of Flying Cars
A flying car, as the name implies, is a vehicle that can be flown in the air and used on the roads. That means, it obviously has to have the basic characteristics of an aircraft (like propellers) and a car (like road tires). It would have to be light enough to fly in the air and strong enough to move on the road. Because a flying car would have the ability to land and drive, it would have to be able to take the impact of hitting the road and then moving on it uninterrupted, smoothly. Besides, it would have to be installed with additional safety features before being released for the public use.

If you aren't too excited about the new Windows 8 features, then you should be, because from the older operating systems, Windows 8 will be one of the biggest upgrades by Microsoft as far as its operating systems are concerned...

Microsoft released a consumer preview for Windows 8, which allows users to download the operating system online and use it to give important feedback. Most people will think, well here is another version of Microsoft's Windows operating system, which will have just a few tweaks here and there, but nothing more. Well, not this time. The Windows 8 features are quite amazing, and it can easily be said that this operating system is one of their biggest upgrades from previous versions.

So what's so special about Windows 8? Quite a lot...

Would you believe it if I said that you could discover a connection to just about any unrelated person on the face of the Earth? Or that your favorite movie star or a notorious gangster can be connected to you through a chain of merely six people. Stunned? Brush through this article to find out how...

Six degrees of separation refers to a theory which states that each person on the face of the Earth is connected to all the other people through a chain or connection of not more than six people. This theory not only strives to explore connections between two remotely located people, but also aims to understand levels of social interaction, connectivity of people using the W3 or World Wide Web, and spread of certain epidemic diseases on account of social connections. Till date, there has been a lot of research on this subject to verify preciseness of this theory. Researchers feel that popular social networking sites like Facebook may have some answers, on account of their huge membership. Let us take a look at this unique theory, which has generated a lot of interest and hype among people ever since it was proposed.

Origin of The Theory

The six degrees theory was first proposed by Frigyes Karinthy, a Hungarian writer, in the year 1929. In his book titled 'Everything is Different', he first mentioned an abstract link or chain between people all across the world. To stress on this concept, he wrote in a game that his book characters played in the story. Here is a short extract of that story for your reference.

"A fascinating game grew out of this discussion. One of us suggested performing the following experiment to prove that the population of the Earth is closer together now than they have ever been before. We should select any person from the 1.5 billion inhabitants of the Earth - anyone, anywhere at all. He bet us that, using no more than five individuals, one of whom is a personal acquaintance, he could contact the selected individual using nothing except the network of personal acquaintances."

The concept states that each person can be a friend of a friend or a relative of a relative. This can be explained with the diagram given below:

A----B----C----D----E----F----G

0----1----2----3----4----5----6

• A person named A wants to find a connection with a person named G. To simplify the matter, A is placed in position '0' and G in position '6'. There is supposed to be a link of 5 people in between A and G.
• All the people in this chain become related to the first and last person because of their connection to each other, which means B, C, D, E and F are related to A and G directly or indirectly.
• Individuals in the chain have an immediate connection with only those people who are on either sides in the chain. In the above diagram, A has an immediate connection with only B, while G has an immediate connection with only F. However, B is connected to A and C. The same applies to other individuals in the chain.
• The chain of links should pass from A to G.

Small World Experiment

Although the original theory suggested the number of links in the chain to be six, several experiments in this field have proved otherwise. One such experiment was popularly carried out by an American psychologist and Harvard University professor Stanley Milgram in the year 1967. Milgram's aim was to study the average number of links between two unrelated Americans using the principles of the Six Degrees of Separation Theory.

• As part of the experiment, Milgram randomly selected two individuals, a woman and a stock broker from Sharon, a suburb in the city of Boston, Massachusetts. These two individuals were the targets or the destination points for the chain links.
• The starting points of the experiment were randomly selected people residing in Omaha, Nebraska and Wichita, Kansas.
• Milgram distributed approximately 296 packets bound for one target and about 160 letters bound for the other. These packets and letters contained details of the theory, the nature of Milgram's experiment and details about the target persons. Additionally, they contained a log sheet and pre-addressed postcards to be sent to Milgram in Harvard by each recipient of the packets.
• The residents of Omaha and Wichita, who received the packets, were first asked whether they directly knew the target residing in Boston. If not, they were then asked to forward the packet or letter to any person of their choice, who according to them might know the target.
• Before forwarding the packets, recipients were asked to make a note of their own names on the log sheet and put it back inside the packet. They also needed to send one pre-addressed postcard with their own details to Milgram.
• This cycle of forwarding the packet was supposed to go on from one recipient to the next, until the packets reached the hands of the targets.

Conclusions

• Milgram observed that several participants of this experiment showed a reluctance to forward their letters or parcels to the next person. Out of the 296 parcels bound for Boston, only 64 reached the target. Similarly, out of the 160 letters that were originally mailed, merely 24 letters made it to their destination.
• Milgram's observations are therefore, based only on a small fraction of the total parcels originally distributed.
• The participants in this experiment gave tremendous importance to geographical proximity of the target persons. Which means, the parcels reached Boston very fast but moved at a slow pace within the city until they reached the targets.
• The log sheet and postcards received by Milgram showed that the number of links in a chain were anything ranging from nine to a meager two or three.
• As per Milgram, even though the original six degrees theory states a total of six links, it actually refers to maximum number of links expected to form a chain. One may come across a chain that has lesser than six links.
• Milgram concluded that the average degrees of separation between two unknown people staying the US was just 3 to 3.5 and not 6 as stated in the original theory. This is because Milgram narrowed his research within boundaries of United States and did not mention the degrees of separation between two people residing in other nations.

Small World Project

(This should not be confused with Stanley Milgram's Small World Experiment.)

Measuring degrees of separation between people living worldwide is a massive and difficult exercise. In spite of this, Prof. Duncan Watts from Columbia University made an attempt to find the average number of links using emails.

• In the year 2003 and 2004, Watts randomly selected 18 target people from about 13 nations around the globe.
• The starting points in Columbia's Small World Project were volunteers that were ready to send emails to their respective friends.
• Participants were asked to send a pre-drafted email to all people known to them.
• Subsequent recipients were also asked to forward the email to every person in their contact list. Thus, several email chains for the project started running on parallel basis.
• A particular email chain would stop as soon as one of 18 target recipients received the email.

Conclusions

• According to Watts, the project received huge response with approximately 60,000 email users from about 170 nations around the world taking part in the project.
• Although a chain of 24,000 emails got created during the project, just about 400 emails reached the targets. As per Watts, this might have happened due to the unwillingness of subsequent recipients to forward the emails.
• The successfully completed chains comprised an average of four links by the time they reached their targets.
• Watts factored the number of participants who quit the email chains and calculated the median length of an email chain to be approximately 5 and 7 persons.
• In the end, Watts did support the original theory by stating the average number of links to be 6.

Prof. Duncan Watts and Prof. Steven Strogatz from Cornell University came up with a mathematical formula to calculate the average degrees of separation between two people. The formula states,

▶

DS = log N/ log K

Where, DS refers to the degrees of separation
N refers to the total number of people capable of creating direct or indirect contact with others
K refers to the average number of friends or relations of each person.
Note: Prof. Watts used logarithms to simplify calculations for the massive data.

Example: Assume N comprises 90% of American population, which equals to 300,000,000, (the other 10% population comprise young children, who are yet to develop friends or contact links), and assume K has an average of 30 relations. Using the formula, we get (after applying logarithms)

DS = log (3*10⁸) / log (30)
DS = 8.4771 / 1.4771
DS = 5.739
Therefore, DS = 6 (approx.)

It's not 6 Degrees, it's 4.74!

It is the weak ties that make the world small. ~Dr Jon Kleinberg, Cornell University~

There are plenty of social networking sites that have gained world-wide popularity today. Sites such as Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn etc., boast of millions of worldwide user profiles. Avid users of Facebook will agree that this website springs some surprises when members find mutual friends on the most unexpected profiles. In fact, to popularize this theory, Facebook even launched a web application named Six Degrees. It prompts users to click on the 'Search for Someone' tab and type a name of any other Facebook user. This application can help users to trace their connection to that person and generate a report stating the number of links involved.

The Facebook team, in collaboration with the University of Milan, conducted a research on Degrees of Separation between its worldwide users. Here is a highlight on its crucial findings.

• Facebook analyzed its membership and the size of friendships between its members. Reports show that Facebook's 721 million active users have approximately 69 billion friendship links between them. This makes Facebook the largest relationship/ friendship related database in the whole world.
• Facebook's analysis team feels that people of a certain age tend to have friends of the same age range. Similarly, members of the website generally have 84% friends residing in the same country as theirs.
• As per Facebook, approximately 10% of their members have lesser than 10 friends. Another 20% have up to 25 friends only. However, 50% of Facebook users have more than 100 people on their friends list.
• The degrees of separation between two people residing in far off countries seems to reduce if the chain of links passes through multicultural and cosmopolitan countries like the US or the UK.

Conclusions

• According to Facebook's research, 92% of its members have only 4 degrees of separation.
• About 99.6% of other people have 5 degrees of separation.
• The degrees of separation seem to shrink if you are searching for a link between two people residing in the same country. At such times, just 3 degrees of separation might exist.
• The average degrees of separation between Facebook's worldwide users is just 4.74. This number is expected to reduce in the coming years, due to a consistent rise in Facebook users. This is because connections between people broaden with new friendships.

Many other social networking sites report the links between their users to range anywhere from 3 to 5.

Some Interesting Asides

▶

The Oracle of Bacon
The Six Degrees concept has been playfully used to generate the Bacon number under the Oracle of Bacon. This number can be generated by deriving the degrees of separation a movie star has from actor Kevin Bacon. Bacon himself is always placed at number '0'. Actors who have directly worked with him are at number 1. People who have worked with actors who have worked with Bacon, are placed at number 2. This is how the chain continues. On account of Bacon's links to almost 90% of Hollywood stars, he is often quoted to be the Center of Hollywood Universe.

▶

The Erdős Number
This peculiar idea of generating an Erdős number was first expressed by an analyst named Casper Goffman and popularized by renowned American mathematician, Ronald Graham. This number expresses the degrees of collaborative separation a researcher has from the world-famous mathematician Paul Erdős. It is said that Erdős wrote more than 1500 research papers during his lifetime. Out of these, some 511 papers were written in direct collaboration with his students and colleagues. As per the concept, Prof. Erdős was placed at number '0' since the collaborations were to be traced to him. His immediate and direct collaborators were placed at number '1'. People who collaborated with direct collaborators of Erdős, were allotted number '2'. As of 2011, people with Erdős number '2' were estimated to be 9267! The Erdős number is expected to rise indefinitely as the indirect collaborations increase each passing year.

In honor of some of the greatest legends in the fields of Science, Arts and Sports, people have come up with a few more unique numbers. These include the Einstein number (Albert Einstein, Physicist), Chomsky number (Noam Chomsky, Linguist), Morphy number (Paul Morphy, Chess master), and Vanderbilt number (Harold Vanderbilt, legendary Bridge player), in addition to others.

The world is smaller than you ever thought it to be and it is shrinking rapidly even as you blink! Although it is true that a connection can be traced between any two people on the globe, it is still not proven that the exact connection can be made by just six people. Most research results suggest average links to be anywhere between 2 and 9. So, until we perfect our calculations, we can safely conclude that contents of this theory are partly factual.

Scratched DVDs have always been a major problem for Xbox 360 owners. For those of you who would like to make a backup copy of your prized (and may I add very expensive) Xbox 360 game DVD, but don't know how, this guide should come in handy.

One of the best things about the Xbox 360 is the fact that you have one of the widest collection of games available for this platform. The controls, the graphics, and the performance of this console give the competition a serious run for its money. All the games for the Xbox available in the market are on DVDs. It's a well-known fact that these DVDs are real scratch magnets, and aren't really built to endure the constant use and abuse that they are subjected to almost on a daily basis. For any gamer, nothing is as heartbreaking as the 'Disk Error' sign that flashes on the screen, when you are all geared up for some serious gaming action! Never fear, backup DVDs are here to the rescue. You would need to lay your hands on the freeware Xbox Backup Creator and ImgBurn to get started.

 As long as you do not intend to walk around town with a black eye patch, selling or distributing these copies, you can make backup copies of your original Xbox 360 games. You can proudly show off your original DVDs as collector's items, while you enjoy playing the games using the backup. Creating a backup of your games is child's play, and the best part is that you won't have the cops knocking your door down for doing this. Also, you do not need to modify your console in any way, so the warranty doesn't get void. Here's how you can go about it.

You Will Need

• An Original Xbox 360 game DVD
• A Computer with a dual-layer DVD Burner
• A blank dual layer DVD (DVD+R DL)
• Xbox Backup Creator
• ImgBurn Software

Creating the Backup File

1. Install both the software on the computer. Run Xbox Backup Creator.
2. Insert the original game DVD into the DVD drive.
3. On the screen that pops up, you should be able to see details about the DVD. Check to make sure that the additional information mentions the KREON firmware (only DVDs with this firmware can be copied). Select 'Complete Backup' (if not already selected).
4. Click on 'Start', name the file (ideally the name of the game), and allocate a folder path on your computer with adequate free space (up to 8.5 GB) for the backup. It should ideally take about 15-20 minutes for the backup to be created. You can check to see if the backup has been created by going into the folder that you had saved it in. You should see two files with the name you had given the backup; one would be .dvd file and the other an .iso file.
5. Right-click on the .dvd file and select 'Open With...'. Choose 'Notepad' from the list of programs and click on OK.
6. You should be able to see a value against 'Layerbreak'; copy this numeric value and save it separately in another notepad file. Close the files.

Burning the Backup Game DVD

1. Once the backup has been created, run ImgBurn. Replace the original game DVD with a blank dual-layered DVD (which should ideally have DVD+R DL written on it).
2. Select 'Write image file to disc'.
3. In the window that comes on the screen, under 'Source', click on the 'browse for a file' icon (an open folder with a magnifying glass). Navigate to the backup files folder that you created earlier and select the .dvd file.
4. From the top menu, select Tools › Settings › Write › Options (the one to the right).
5. Select 'User Specified' and enter the value you had saved earlier from the notepad into the box by its side. Click on OK.
6. Set the 'Write Speed' at 2x and click on 'Write' at the bottom. Let it 'burn' for about 30-45 minutes.

Voila! You should now have a working backup of your Xbox game.

There are other paid software available in the market which can help you with creating backups, and are a lot easier to use as well. You can now get back to saving the world without worrying about a scratch!

Predicting the future is never an exact science, but by looking at the types of technologies that are in the early stages of development today, it is possible to make some educated guesses about the sorts of technologies that will soon become available and which may even become commonplace in the future. Computers are likely to continue to increase in power, performance and the functions that they are capable of performing while becoming smaller and less expensive.

Computers began as vast machines that were only able to complete very simple functions, but from the latter half of the 20th century onwards they began to develop rapidly into powerful machines that were capable of performing a large number of complex functions, but which were also available for use in every home. The computers of today are still being rapidly improved, so the computers of the future could be just as unrecognizable to us as the computers that we are so familiar with today would be to the first inventors of the computer.

Two of the most interesting and potentially influential areas of computer science that are currently being developed are quantum computing and nanotechnology. Quantum computing has the potential to make computers much faster and far more powerful so that they will be able to perform functions that even the most powerful supercomputers available today are incapable of completing by creating a new system in which transistors can take on multiple states rather than just the binary 0 or 1. Nanotechnology will also be able to increase the range of functions that computers are capable or performing. It will be used to create tiny computers that will be small enough to incorporate into anything, including clothing, everyday objects and even the human body. Rather than being a machine that we use only for certain purposes, computers may become a part of our environment.

A third important area in which computer technology is developing and which could have a significant impact on how we interact with computers is effective computing. Giving computers emotions could revolutionize the way that we interact with technology as well as changing the way that computers think.

The robots and computers that appear in science fiction films often seem to have the same emotions as the human characters, but actually creating a real life artificial intelligence that can show true emotion has proven very difficult. Robots can be programmed to mimic emotions, for example by giving a robot a smiling face, but it has not yet been possible to create a computer that can actually think and feel for itself.

As the technology improves, however, it is possible that computers may be created which can feel emotions that are just as strong and important as those felt by humans. This could help people to relate to technology in new ways. It could make it easier for robots and people to understand one another since robots might become able to recognize the emotions of the people with whom they are communicating and react accordingly. Computers could become companions or friends rather than just being seen as tools.

People do already tend to attribute emotions to their computers and to interact with them in an emotional way, for example becoming angry if something is not working properly. By enabling robots to show and feel emotions, it will make it easier for human beings and machines to understand and interact with one another. It could also enable robots and computers to think and reason in very different ways. A lot of the thought processes that humans use are very emotional. Opening computers up to these types of reasoning could enable them to perform a much wider range of functions than they do today. A computer that could understand emotion could also interact with people in different ways, both by understanding their emotions by interpreting their facial expressions, gestures and tone of voice, and by simulating their own emotions, such as confusion if they don't understand what they are being asked to do or joy when they succeed. People will find it much easier to interact with a machine in an emotional way.

The images produced on the monitor of your computer are made with tiny dots that are known as pixels. Typically a common resolution settings, the screen can display about a million and more pixels, now the computer decides what to do with these dots so as to create an image. Therefore in order to make an image the computer needs a translator and the job is done with a graphics card. The job is quite complex one.

Now what the Graphics card does is, the CPU along with the software applications gives out information of the image to the graphics card. Then the graphics card decides the use of the pixels and how to create the image. Later the information is sent to the monitor by a cable. Such a process is a demanding one it needs to be perfect too in all aspects of the picture or image. To create a 3-D image the graphics card will initially produce a wire frame from among the straight lines. Then it joins the remaining pixels and goes on to add some light, color and texture to the image. And if it is fast-paced game, then the computer will have to work about 60 times a second. Therefore without graphics card to do the much needed calculations and the perfect job, the task would be upon the computer which would mean more job for the computer than it can handle.

The Graphics card uses some main components to complete the job of imaging. They are: 1. Motherboard for power and data.2. Processor needed for taking decision about the pixel. 3. It needs memory to store in the particular pixel and also store the finished pictures. 4. The monitor so that you can visualize the image.

The Asus graphics card is a leading company in the world in the laptop segment and is the best selling motherboards in the world. The company has created a name for itself by creating some of the best graphics cards in the world. The Hp Graphics cards too are good and offer you the best ones. They come up with great products that show their expertise by joining graphics technology with the graphics products and then provide them to customers with graphics cards that are fast, expansive and flexible.

You can find several graphics cards in the market today, they are the Palit Gforce 7200GS, Leadtak Quadro 256 MB, Zotac nVidia 9600, PCI VGA display card and many more. The graphics cards price can be anywhere for a few thousands of rupees.

Step 1: Login to the Windows computer using the credentials of an account that has Administrator permissions.

Step 2: Click the "Start" button on the Windows 7 desktop and then click the"Search" box. Type "cmd" in the "Search" box and tap the "Enter" key.

Step 3: Type "net user account_name new_password" except replacing "account_name" with the name of the account that requires a password change and replacing "new_password" with the new password that you wish to assign to the account.

Step 4: Press the "Enter" key.

Now, it's time to reset the password with the top 3 methods and you can select one of the most suitable for Windows 7 password reset.

While using the Bluetooth feature, you can run through a lot of advantages to and at the same time and run to a lot of disadvantages also. With about every great technology, there has to be something in there that makes it not perfect. There's probably no such thing of a perfect product. A few advantages and disadvantages of Bluetooth includes the following.

Advantages:

Widely Used: Bluetooth is now really popular and keeps getting more popular as time passes by. It is now widely used across countries and almost by everyone. Companies are taking the benefit by using this in their new and future products to make life much easier for everyone. Pretty much very soon, you will be noticing quite a bit of technology will be wireless due to Bluetooth. As it is already, but most likely it will be more dominant. You can use Bluetooth on laptops, cell phones, music players, headsets, printers and a lot more other products.

Feature Simplicity: You do not need to know much about technology in order to run Bluetooth. Anyone that doesn't have no knowledge about the new technology can still be able to use the Bluetooth feature due to its simplicity and the ease of use. I think that the simplicity of it and the fact that it's wire free makes it very widely used and utmost popular.

Free of Charge: Best of all, you do not have to pay a penny for the service! It's not an extra cell phone or cable bill that you have to add to your budget. Simply by the technology and you're done! All you need to do is connect it with what you are using. There hasn't been any reporting lately on companies charging a monthly fee or any fee for people to use the Bluetooth feature and I don't expect it.

Go Wireless!: It allows you to stay cord free and do not have to worry about finding the correct place to connect that extra long cord. Avoid having to have a ton of cords wherever you go. You may still need a few cords but not as much as you would without Bluetooth. You can also go to the internet wirelessly with this feature when you're out somewhere outside of your home.

Your in Control: Even though you are able to exchange data across your cell phones, you still have the ability to keep your information private. In order to make a transfer or allow someone to access the files on your phone, you will have to give them access by accepting or rejecting the request through your phone. If you have the Bluetooth feature enabled on your phone and not disabled while using it, others that you may not even know request to send you a file.

Disadvantages:

Battery Use: This occurs mostly on your cell phone but also occurs in other technology such as music players. You're using up more battery power when you leave your Bluetooth enabled on your phone all day. To disregard all this, the best thing that you can possibly do is disable it once you are completed with the transfer. It only takes a few seconds to enable and disable so it wouldn't hurt to disable it once you are done using it.

Bluetooth Internet: Throughout all devices, when using Bluetooth internet, the connection can sometimes run very slow so Bluetooth internet is not highly suggested for all cases.

As you can notice that there are quite a bit of advantages and fewer disadvantages. Overall, Bluetooth is a great thing to be using on all your devices that supports it. You can do so much with it and includes cutting all the cords attached to your devices.

We would not be able to use our computers, if it was not for computer software. A little bit of knowledge on types of computer software will not hurt one bit, so here is some information on this categorization. Some are helping your computer to operate and they are called operating systems, other help your machine run applications, and they are application software, and finally, there are programming languages.

Operating Systems

The base of a computer is represented by the operating system. This is, for broader understanding, like a translation device, that communicates with the computer in its own language. Your computer is a marvelous machine, but, in order to work, its needs to put its components to work, and that is what the operating system does. Now, looking up at the most reputable names on the market, we cannot miss Microsoft, with its Windows system, that is spread and used worldwide. The latest version of this software is Vista, which was not so long ago launched on the market. Even though Windows is so popular, there are still other operating systems that are used. UNIX comes second and it is mostly used in offices, rather than homes. HP-UX and AIX work on HP computers. The machines produced by IBM have their own system software, but most of this type of in-house software is done with the help of UNIX. Web servers, on the other hand, use Apache OS.

Applications

The operating system is something that we install on our computer, and that is actually the end of the job with it, we do not play so much with it after that. With application software, this is a whole different deal. This interacts with our machines and we use them to get things done. If you have ever used Word, Excel or PowerPoint from Microsoft, then you know what an application software is. Web browsers are also application software that we use on a regular basis. The most popular ones are Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox. For e-mails, Outlook is very much used in offices and Media Player is the software we use when we want to watch videos on the computer. Another well known application software is the anti-virus.

Programming languages

The most popular software is the application software. On the other hand, the programming languages are used only by a small group of people compared to the large mass of computer users. These are the main software that can create operating systems and applications. The most used programming languages are C , Java and Simlab. Each of them has a certain area of expertise. For instance, Java is mainly used for creating Internet applications, while C is the brick and mortar for operating systems. Internet applications gain more and more terrain, and PHP is one of the programming languages that contribute to that. The market for mobile phones has expanded, and with it, the need for applications. The software for that is made with programming languages, as well.

There are three types of computer software: operating system software, application software and programming languages. They are all needed for us to be able to use the computers as we do today.

There you are on a Friday getting ready for the weekend. You have planned to spend your Saturday doing all of those household fix-ups around the house. It could be a leaky faucet, a broken belt on the dryer, or possibly a light switch that is not working. Your plan for a productive day is coming together perfectly.
In order to perform all of these jobs, your first thought is to look up the various instructions online. It could be a dryer manual from the manufacturer which describes belt replacement procedures. Your search might be for instructions on how to safely replace a light switch. The internet provides a nearly endless source of information to help you get the job done properly.
You sit down at your computer and bring up a popular search engine. It could be one of the popular ones such as Google, Bing, or Yahoo. Maybe it is a not-so-popular one such as AltaVista or Dogpile, but you have had success so many times before, whichever one you choose will lead you to the right information. So you type in "dryer belt replacement" and a gazillion possibilities are returned.
And nearly every one of those results turn out to be a parts seller, a link to new dryers and sometimes a clothing website that is promoting belts that stay dry even when wading through the rivers of South America. But one stands out, a link to the manual needed and you click on it with hopeful anticipation only to get a webpage that says "404 - Not Found".
What exactly does that mean?
One might wonder how that can be since the search engine found the link. If the link is there, surely the document exists. But alas, the message is an error message from the website hosting the document. The message itself is telling you that the link to that document is not available or no longer exists.
You see, your search engine is not actually going out to thousands or even millions for other websites looking for what you want. When you are searching Google for instance, what you are really searching is a list of links that they have collected. That is how your search results can come back so quickly. All of these search engines index millions of links each and every day by using what is referred to as web crawlers.
These web crawlers are software applications that browse the World Wide Web in an automated and very methodical fashion. The process is also referred to as spidering. Which ever term you use, it is a means of providing current data about the millions of links to websites. A list or index is created that can later be searched when you type in "dryer belt replacement" and a gazillion possibilites instantly show up.
But why did I get that error?
The website you were directed to by the search engine is either having a problem internally with that particular webpage (under maintenance, being updated, or temporarily out of service). Or the webpage no longer exists on that website. It could be that the website which is hosting that once free document has moved it to another location and is charging money for you to access it.
Either way, the link is no good and the search engine has a bad link listed in its index. And that means the search engine needs to update that index. It will eventually do that due to the web crawler software noted above. But until then, there will be quite a few people getting this same "404 - Not Found" web page error.
But why not just call it a "Missing Webpage Error" instead?
The web server from which the link is no longer or not currently available is producing the 404 error code. This error code is a recognized html error code that search engines know and helps prevent the search engine crawlers from indexing bad URLs (uniform resource locator or universal resource locator). The 404 errors will also allow web scripts and other website monitoring tools to read and find bad or broken links.
So next time you see the famous "404 - Not Found" web page message, think of it as a dead end on a map to some location. Back up and try a different path and soon you will find the destination you have been looking for. The internet is not infallible and just like a map, sometimes the Cartologist lays out the wrong street.

The iPad continues to appeal to all types of people. It is a "magical" device. There is so much you can do on it. In this article, I want to give you four tips to point you in the right direction. I think the last tip will really benefit many of you in the long-run.
How to use the iPad. Tip #1: You can use your iPad as a digital picture frame. If you are familiar with the iphone or the ipod touch you know that there are some similarities with the iPad. For example, when you are not using your device the screen is locked and there is a button that you slide to unlock the screen. However, with the ipad there is also another button to the right that you can push to have your screen function as a digital picture frame. So rather that just seeing a frozen screen you have a slide show of your pictures on a nice sized iPad screen. And you can place this somewhere in your home or office as a digital picture frame. Pretty cool!
How to use the iPad. Tip #2: Turn your iPad into a laptop. The iPad has a keyboard that pops up when you need to type but you can also buy a keyboard (a wireless one) that fits well with your new device. It is portable and your iPad becomes like a laptop. You can of course type on your screen but the keyboard is a little easier to type on than typing on the screen if you need to type faster and if you are planning on writing more.
How to use the iPad. Tip # 3: How to navigate quickly through pages in iBook. The iPad has an incredible technology that allows you to read with a screen that really makes the pages look white. This is to me one of the coolest features of the iPad. On such a small device (but not so small that you can't read well like the iphone or ipod touch) you can have tons of books stored for you to read anywhere (you can even read when the lights are off around you).
One really cool tip is that when you tap the page and activate the controls at the bottom you will see a dotten line. You can tap it and scroll quickly to whatever page you want to go on your book.
How to use the iPad. Tip #4: If you really want to make the most out of your investment you can watch iPad video lessons. These will take you through everything there is to know on your iPad. By spending ten minutes or so a day in a few months you will really know how to use the iPad. These iPad video lessons are developed to take like a course but you can do it from your home at any time and at any pace.
I hope this article on how to use the ipad with these four tips has helped you get moving in the right direction. Enjoy!

What is the RGB color code? The familiar three-color scheme, red, green and blue, that we have seen in references color television and digital electronics video is, by no means a newer invention, coming with the television, etc. In actuality, the history of the camera resides inside the history of the RGB color code. This article is about the discoverer and the early development of this code.
James Clerk Maxwell Cracks the RGB Color Code When Considering the Human Eye
In 1855, when others were seeking out chemicals that, when laid against an object would morph to the color of the object like a chameleon when put amidst , James Maxwell was looking to the human eye for answers to the problem.
Humans see color because the inner surface of the eyes are covered with network of cone cells of three types. Each type is responsible for about one-third the total range of human sight. Those would be the sectors of visible light containing red, green and blue, with the pureness of these the focal point of each.
The Replicable Visual Reality
In his studies, Maxwell found that full color could be visually replicated on the principles of the human eye. He set out on the adventure by photographing a subject three times, each with a specific color filter on the lens.
Using pure red, green and blue, he now had three black and white prints with varying shades in the objects in the photographs. Maxwell successfully projected the three images through the filters appropriated for each, onto a screen and faithfully reproduced the subject in full color.
He further found that adjusting the intensity of the three filters with just the light passing through them, that he could produce any color of the rainbow he fancied.
RGB Comes to Photography
There were a number of problems with Maxwell’s model and, probably mostly due to misunderstanding and skepticism, the work done on the model had been discounted by the scientific community. About 50 years later, it would take up abode once again, this time having been reconsidered and readily adapted to photographic processes that had since developed.
The earliest color plates were very poor quality and extremely imperfect.
Nearing the end of the 19th century, a number of people rediscovered the phenomenon on their own, others convening upon the early work of Maxwell. The exact same principles used by Maxwell have not only been used throughout the entire film age and all video electronics, but continues today in digital technology as well. In the range of human experience, the three color code manifests itself, even in the most modern cameras today. There is no other substitute.
To Recap the Above:

• Whilst everybody else was out looking for chameleon-like chemicals to replicate the visual world, James Clerk Maxwell discovers solution when studying the anatomy of the human eye.
• Maxwell discovers that this replication could be accomplished with the right color filtering and camera positioning.
• Maxwell also discovers that any hue could be attained by simply adjusting the brightness and intensities of the three filtered light sources.
• A faulty exhibition on the subject in 1861 would put a temporary damper on further development.
• Near the end of the 19th century, a number of people would rediscover these color principles and apply them to photography, thus the dawn of color photography.

As of today, there is no other color scheme in existence, at least that is known. However everything invented, having to do with visual production, from the earliest camera obscura to the most advanced high performance digital cameras available today could not exist without Maxwell’s three color code.

The price of laptops has gone down tremendously over the last few years. Not too long ago a decent laptop would easily have set you back a few thousand dollars. These days, you can pick up a good laptop for as low as $500.00 at your local Walmart. But with thousands of laptops to choose from, and more coming out every week, how do you pick the one that’s right for you? Below are 5 tips to help you make the right decision when looking to buy a new laptop.

1). Determine Your Needs

The first step in figuring out which laptop is right for you is to determine your unique needs. Most students for example would place the emphasis on price, portability, and battery life. In that situation you should look for a laptop with a 14- or 15-inch display. A larger screen means a heavier and bulkier laptop, making it more uncomfortable to carry around. Larger screens also deplete the battery at a much faster rate.

Home users on the other hand should look for laptops with much larger displays than the traditional 14- or 15-inch screens. As these systems typically stay anchored to your desk, table, or kitchen – perhaps occasionally being moved from room to room, the emphasis should be placed on improving the overall visual experience and performance. A larger number of USB ports (3-4) would also be helpful in order to plug-in, for example, a mouse, digital camera, printer, and external hard drive.

Business users often need something more rugged; able to withstand the stresses of constant travel. Because of this, a longer warranty plan is much more important. Security is also a concern so a laptop with extra security features is more ideal.

Determining your unique needs will help narrow down your choices considerably and help make the decision of which laptop to buy much easier.

2). A Good CPU Is Key

The CPU is the most important component of any laptop. Not cutting corners in this department is important if you want a good laptop and a good overall experience. For most users, a dual core processor is the best option. It offers excellent speed and multitasking capabilities with good power consumption. If you’re planning to use your laptop to play video games, edit video, or play HD movies, it would be wise to invest in a more powerful processor such as the Intel Core i7.

Picking the right CPU can be difficult, so do research on the individual processors available to get a better idea of how they will perform with what you’re intending to use the laptop for. When it comes to CPUs, you get what you pay for, so use the price as a guide to help you make the decision but keep in mind that the more powerful processors also consume more battery life as well.

3). Memory Is Very Important

As operating systems and programs continue to use more and more memory, this is not an area you want to overlook. If the laptop is running Windows Vista or Windows 7, then 2GB of memory or more is required for good performance. The 32-bit version of Windows XP, Windows Vista, or Windows 7, can only detect up to 4GB of memory and it’s recommended that you look for a laptop with that much.

However, RAM is cheap and easy to install. You can simply buy less in the beginning and add more if you find that the performance is not adequate. Just make sure that the laptop has a slot available to upgrade. For example, a 2GB laptop with 2 DIMM slots might have two 1GB memory sticks. In that situation you would need to throw one of the memory sticks out in order to add more.

4). Touch It Before You Buy It

These days you tend to find the best prices and deals online. However, before you make the purchase you should try and find a store with the same laptop on display. As with most products, what you see in the advertisement and what you get can be a little different. See if you like the look, shape, and feel in real life as much as in the photos. Do the keys feel nice? Does the screen have problems with glare? Is it heavier or lighter than you expected? Does it feel solid or cheap? You won’t be able to answer these questions by looking at a professionally edited advertisement picture so you need to see the product for yourself first hand whenever possible.

5). Read Reviews Online

This is the most important step. Whatever it is that you’re looking to buy, you should always get a few opinions from other sources, and the internet is the best place to go. Read a few reviews by going to Google and typing in “[laptop name] review” and to see what people have to say. Check out customer reviews from the popular online computer retailers like TigerDirect.com, NewEgg.Com, NCIX.com, etc.

If the reviews give you the green light, then go ahead with the purchase. If you see warning signs then consider yourself lucky to have found out sooner rather than later, and look for something different. Finding little to no information or reviews on a specific laptop is one of the biggest warning signs of all. Unless you like to gamble with your money, you should look for a laptop with some reputation. The last thing you want to do is test out new products at your own expense.

The SSL Certificates is the means that will help the visitor to know that the website is offering foolproof and secured identity and there’s no way in which his information will be misused. Generally, there are two SSL certificates which are used for the website, namely, a signed certificate and the root certificate. Under the signed certificate, it would mean that authentic certificate authority like VeriSign has approved the validity of a particular website. By approving the validity of a particular website, the certificate authority is acknowledging that the website is perfectly safe for carrying out business transaction. However, the root certificate becomes applicable in case where the visitor completes an online transaction.

Things to Know about Secure SSL

There are different types of SSL certificates, and every certificate has its own features. Let’s take a quick look on various certificates and its respective features:

Dedicated Certificates –The Secure SSL are expensive to buy and require unique domain name, and therefore this reason it is not used with the multiple domain names and sub domains.

Shared Certificates – The certificates can be easily shared with other websites and are comparatively less expensive than Dedicated SSLs. One can use the shared SSL certificate of any other website with your business website. The name on the certificate represents the name of the owner who has the certificate. These certificates are usually offered by the e commerce web hosting companies.

Free SSL Certificate – The certificates are offered at negligible costs, and hence the term Free SSL certificate. The level of encryption in these certificates is not at par with Shared SSLs or Dedicated SSLs. In order to get the right level of encryption, it is very necessary that you get Free SSL certificate from reputed web hosting companies.

Wildcard SSL Certificate – The certificate is best match for the websites that use sub domains, and provide foolproof security to these domains. The certificate is sufficient enough to lend protection to web portal in a holistic manner.

In gist, if you are planning to choose the secure SSL services, it becomes very instrumental that you compare between different types of SSL certificates available and later shop on Internet at competitive prices. Make sure that you are not in a hurry while searching for bit numbers. While 128 bit is the standard industry encryption, you can also shop for higher encryption numbers for higher security. Some companies are also offering 58 bit encryption.

You might be a foundation, company or individual with the spirit to bring change. Here is the platform, where you can talk about in-equality, injustice, discrimination, environmental hazards, education, animal safety, global warming, world as global village and its challenges.

My personality

My personality is quite an accurate application for judging your personality. The reason behind its being accurate is this that it is developed by postgraduate researchers specializing in psychology and psychometrics from the University of Cambridge and the University of Nottingham. Here you come to know about the fact that are you shy, out-going, introvert or extravert. Through it you can determine the path of career ideal for you. The areas which need to improve and the greatest strength you have.

Did you know that when your computer is connected to the internet, it has over 131,000 ‘ports’ that a hacker could connect to? These ports are like doors in a building and if they aren’t protected properly, then someone could sneak in without you noticing. If the hacker is not installing a virus, they can still do some serious damage without alerting your security software, including transmitting your personal information. So how do you watch all of these doorways to your information? You need a firewall!

In construction terms, a firewall is a fire-resistant wall that subdivides a building to stop the spread of fire from one area to another. In computer terms, we need to stop communications between your computer and others on the internet. A total block of all internet communication would be useless though, so you need a way of selecting which type of communications you want to receive. For this, computer firewalls have rules and filters much like construction firewalls have access doors.

Where do I put this firewall?

Firewalls can be on a hardware box (a separate unit or part of your internet modem or router) or can be software installed on your computer. Most popular security software packages also include a firewall. A hardware firewall is great for providing a barrier before your computer is even reached and will also mean that your computer doesn’t have to spend its precious resources on running the firewall software. It also reduces the risk of the firewall itself being compromised, as some viruses can try and disable security software features that are running on your computer. The downside is that a hardware-based firewall can be more expensive and not as easy to configure and maintain if you are unsure of how to use them.

If Microsoft gives me a firewall, do I need another one?

The Windows Firewall (on Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Vista) only examines inbound communications coming into your computer from the internet. If your computer becomes infected (e.g. if you install some free software that turns out to have a hidden nasty) then your outbound communication to other computers on the internet won’t be examined or filtered. This can turn your computer into a source of infection, impacting your security and internet connection. It’s also not recommended that you run more than one software firewall as this uses more processing power and can cause conflicts, so if your security software includes a firewall, turn off the Windows Firewall.

If I have a secure wireless connection do l need a firewall?

A wireless connection is another way to get onto the internet and wireless security controls who can use that connection. This is similar to allowing who can plug into your phone line. Once you are connected, your 131,000+ ports are still open to hackers, so you still need a firewall. A firewall may be included on your wireless router but it pays to check.

Why does it keep on giving me messages?

If you are doing something specific (like installing new software or troubleshooting a connection problem) you may need to temporarily disable your firewall. Software firewalls may alert you that a connection has been attempted and blocked and may ask if you wish to allow that kind of connection in the future. In general, if you are doing something new which would probably involve a connection to the internet, you can allow the connection – either ‘this time only’ or for all future connection attempts. If in doubt, block it, as you can always allow it later if you find that it is needed.

Firewalls provide an enhanced level of security that has now become the minimum standard to protect your computer. They do require a certain level of knowledge or a great computer support person, so talk to your local Computer Troubleshooter to ensure that you are protected.
