Ease of use is another factor that must be considered while choosing free antivirus software. Free antivirus that you select must also contain firewall and spam blocker. Avast is the free antivirus that you can choose for your PC since it detects even the smallest virus from your PC.

Nokia Entering Laptop Market

June 07, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Gadgets, Technology

Nokia has been known by its success in the mobile phone industry. They are now venturing into the laptop market by launching their own range of computers with the first, The Nokia Booklet 3G, based on Microsoft Windows, powered by an Intel Atom processor. It is designed to deliver unto 12 hours of battery life and weighs about 1.25 kilograms with a thickness of about two centimeters.

The Mini Laptop comes with an HDMI port for HD video out. It is designed with a front facing camera, integrated Bluetooth and an SD card reader. The screen is 10” and has integrated A-GPS that works with Ovi maps.

With this, Nokia would be in a position to exploit a wider scale in marketing, supply chain and distribution in the already heavily commoditized market. It aims to create computers that are more social, helpful and personal in response to the wide number of users who wanted PCs with full mobility benefits as well as connectivity.

June 07, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Softwares

Apple has designed a new Os called the Mac OS X Snow Leopard that has extensive and advanced features to make it one of the best OS available in the market. The OS is faster, better and easier to use. Its process from installing the OS and others operational procedures such as ejecting external drives has been made easier and more simplified. It has a more advanced Finder which is completely rewritten to take all the advantages offered by the Mac OS X. The Finder is more responsive and comes with a snappier performance.

The OS is fitted with next generation devices such as 64-bit support which takes the advantage of the memory of your Mac. It comes with a grand central dispatch which is useful in getting the best in multicore processors. The openCL unleashes the power of graphics software to accelerate the performance of applications. It also comes with an advanced technology that helps people with disability to enjoy their Mac experiences.

Bio-Molecular Computing

May 28, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Technology

The idea of molecules that can perform computations is not new rather it is a traditional approach to computation in both theoretical and technological perspectives. Bio-molecular computing has added to our understanding of both biology and computer science. The whole process operates in a natural noisy environment in which computer instruction machinery is embedded. It uses DNA and other biological materials as the basic building blocks for constructing computational machines to solve difficult problems.

Bio-molecular Computing opens the possibility of providing a solution to the future designing computers in terms of construction and efficient computation. It also provides a programmable access to nanosystems and the molecular biology world thus extending the reach of computation. It also uses wider and complex algorithms that run on molecular hardware and open up new models of computation. To top it all it opens computers to a wider range of applications in the manufacturing, diagnostics and control of molecular processes. With all these it increases our understanding of information flow as well as the limitations of computation.

Microlithography

May 21, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Industry Technology, Technology

Microlithography is a technology used in manufacturing semiconductors. It replicates an image pattern from a photomask on to a silicon wafer coated with photoresist (a light sensitive material) the process involves light passing through the photomask and causing the photoresist to be exposed to the wafer thus creating a blueprint for the semiconductor material that will be deposited on it. The semiconductor materials are used to make chips. The same process can be used in creating displays where the blueprint is the photomask which is used for the pixels and for driving transistors o the display glass. This technique is also used in the fabrication of sensors, actuators and biomedical devices.

The process has benefited from the knowledge of organic chemistry and photo-induced organic transformation. Many manufacturers keep in mind some factors while manufacturing these products. Some of them include cleanliness and quality that can meet the requirements of clients worldwide. Uniformity of temperature matters a lot in the whole production as this will determine the features of each unit processes.

Google Cloud Print

May 16, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Internet & Web, Technology

Since a long a time ago, users had to rely on their operating system to print. This usually requires them to install a driver for the printer to be used. This is soon to be a thing of the past since Google has designed a new service to deal with it. Though it is in its early stages of development, Google Cloud print is designed to enable computer users to print any application either web, desktop or mobile on any printer without any problem.

With Google cloud print users will no longer rely on their local Operating system and drivers to print. The will use the application to submit and manage print jobs. The application then sends the print job containing the options selected by the user to the appropriate printer. The advantage of this is that it accepts custom print options as well as the simple print dialog. It can also be available for third part users once the APIs are available.

Tracking your emails With Mail Tracking.com

May 08, 2010  //  Posted by: qwcdirect  //  Category: Computers & Laptops, Internet & Web

E-mails are personal information that should not be accessed by people. There are people who still get hold of other people’s mails and start going through them.

One of the ways in which a person can use to track their emails is the “read receipt”. This one is the most commonly used method in which a confirmation message is sent to the recipient who then can choose to say whether they received the message or not. This is however not substantial because a person may choose not to answer.

The other email tracking system requires a person to have a server. This system works for most e-mail systems. When a person sends a message to any other person, it is indicated on the server inclusive of date and time. It is however good to have a separate page to store this information and leave it not tampered with. The good thing about this system is the fact that a recipient of a particular message will not know that they are being tracked.
