Things we should know about Webcams

Webcams are essentially small cameras attaches on top of personal computers and laptops that can send videos and images for others to see. We will be able to hold casual long-distance conversation with family members and friends. We may also be able to arrange vide conference sessions with co-workers and clients to maintain long distance business relationships. However, there are things that we need to understand before we buy a webcam. In general, webcam runs based on Internet technology and it sends the data through normal online connection. Webcams are designed to provide real-time images of events, places and people that can be viewed. When the data connection is suitable, webcams can send video stream, sometimes at higher resolution. To save bandwidth, webcams can also capture and sen...

Things we should know before Purchasing Internal Hard Drives

Computer

Buying even the simplest computer component can be a gamble if we don’t know what to do. We could check Amazon.com and there are more than a few customers who are disappointed, even if they have just bought products known for their functionality and reliability. This could happen the product we purchase doesn’t meet our expectation. This also applies on hard drives and there are a few things that we should keep in mind. We should be aware that every hard drive will eventually fail. This fact applies for both external and internal hard drives. Hard drives have moving parts and any mechanism will eventually fail one day. The platter (where data is stored) and the read-write head (the component to read and write data on the platter) will wear down after prolonged usages. This is something tha...

Understanding 3D Technology

Technology

People have been talking about 3D technology a lot, but some of us may think that the technology is already deadly before it becomes mature. 3D technology is often considered as an enhanced way to view digital video, but it actually has been around for decades. In general, we see our environment in true 3D, there are three dimension elements of all objects, including height, width and depth. So, 3D perception is something quite natural for average human. Unfortunately, much of human-produced multimedia content is displayed in 2D, so, people have been trying to simulate 3D effects on these contents. Being able to see 3D content means that we are able to see the depth of objects. With the sense of depth, our brain will be able to automatically calculate the dimension of the objects, by combi...

Understanding Motherboard Troubleshooting

Computer

While processor can be considered as the brain of our computer, motherboard can be considered the cardiovascular system of our computer. It is a platform where all components are connected and integrated into a single hardware configuration. Our computer needs all parts to work properly and correctly. Things should operate very smoothly and there are signs that could indicate motherboard failures. In this case, our computer may fail to booth up, shows erratic behaviour, not completing the POST test and others. If the motherboard is faulty, all components will not be able to work properly. For starters, we should be able to perform visual inspections to make sure that all fans are spinning, all cables are attached properly and CMOS battery is seated firmly on its socket. Motherboard is cons...

What Is Overclocking

Computer

Many of us want to make our computer gets slightly faster, especially if we can do this for free. At some point, we will need to replace our computer and we should do things to postpone the task of upgrading our PC. In some cases, our computer could get too slow, which freezes and stutters when running some older software. In some cases, we need to run the latest Windows versions and we may simply upgrade the software to the latest version as well. One of the cheapest ways to boost computer performance is through overclocking. We will be able to get more out of our computer without spending any money. But in other hand, some enthusiasts could spend much more money that doesn’t justify the performance boost. They may choose to perform overclocking only to achieve specific record performance...

What To Do If Mouse Cursor Keeps On Disappearing

Gadgets

It can be rather irritating to see our cursor or mouse pointer goes off sight time and time again. There are reasons why our mouse pointer is missing, such as incompatibility issues, corrupt drivers, incorrect installations and others. For this reason, it is important for us to fix this issue completely, especially if the disappearing problem seems to recur frequently. The first thing we should do is to go into the Control Panel and choose Hardware and Sound. In there, we should located Devices and Printer to find the Mouse section. The Mouse Properties windows should be opened and we could go to the Pointers tab to specify the shape and size of our mouse pointer. Check whether the “Hide pointer” checkbox is checked, if it is then we need to uncheck it. In the meantime, we could also chang...

Why Businesses Should Avoid Free Email Services

Internet

This is a common thing that happens in the business world. We are at a networking event or trade show and encounter multiple prospective clients. They could be quite impressed with our services and products and ask for our business cards. Unfortunately, clients think that they lose some of their trust, because we are using free email solutions, provided by Gmail, Yahoo and other providers. It would be harder for potential customers to take us more seriously if our own email account isn’t associated with our real company. Any email account that ends with @Yahoo.com or @Gmail.com won’t sound too credible, because they are often associated with personal uses. Companies that still rely on these free solutions could find it more difficult to convince prospects, even if their products and servic...

Why We Should Get Excited With Latest Digital Technology

Technology

Many of us remember when we need to connect to the Internet using slow dial-up modems. If we were lucky enough, we could access 56.6kbps connections, but it still too slow to open even the simplest webpages. The Internet is a dynamic and growing entity, eventually everyone obtains high speed broadband connections. Even entry-level Internet-related connections could already provide us with reliable DSL or 3G connections; while high-end connections using LTE-A could be prohibitively expensive for some people. Broadband smartphone connections could offer us direct access to VoIP or voice communication through IP technology. Many companies are providing VoIP as free services and it is definitely much more interesting than typical long-distance voice calls. The most common cable-based Internet ...
