The by-gone era of Apple Computers.

I know this is quite an old joke photo about Apple Computers but I found it again recently posted by a friend. I am not sure who to attribute this photo to, but well, it is kinda funny. It is for people who are desperate to own an Apple Computer but just could not afford it. Maybe this will do, it can least boost your ego for some time. LOL. Awww…Anyway, just laugh with me. Sometimes, these things can just lighten up the load.

Well, I showed this photo to my husband from afar and he really wondered what was stuck on it. LOL

Our usual practice is still going to a computer shop whenever we need a new computer unit, whether it is a desktop or a laptop. We go through rows and rows of many different brands and units of computers like it is the best therapy in the world.

But the problem is, sometimes, the prices in computer shops are not the lowest that you can get. Sometimes, going online can still give you unbeatable rates.

The fact of the matter is, you can actually get cheap computers online. Even with the shipping, taxes, and the customs fees, they still come out cheaper. This may be because online shops do not have a lot of operational costs to pay, such as rent, air conditioning for a big shop, and employee wages and benefits. Sometimes, it only takes just one person to operate the online shop, so that means less operational costs that get passed on to the consumer.

If you are really interested in getting good value computer units online, then the best thing to do are the following:

1. List down the brand and specs that you want.
2. Go to at least two local shops and list down the prices.
3. Go online and check out the prices. But only check the reputable sites, especially those that offer warranty for service and parts.
4. Compute the taxes and shipping costs and list down all the prices.

That way, you will get a better perspective of the pricing of computers online and in local stores.

How event log reporting can be beneficial to your business or organization.

Most businesses and organizations nowadays have numerous transactions done over the internet or on their network systems. Log files of all transactions, processes, and actions over these network systems are often kept for record keeping purposes and for any regulations that the business or organization needs to comply with.

• Understand your business better. Log files are only good when they are analyzed. Otherwise, all you have is a bunch of data that does not easily make sense.  A good event log management system will take this data and turn it into information that will help you understand your company better. You can learn almost everything you need to know about the actual things that go on in your company by analyzing your network log files. You can likewise use this information to make better and more informed decisions when it comes to your business or organization.
• Easier auditing. Every sensible company has an external auditor to monitor the transactions and processes being done. Event log reporting will make this easier for your external auditors because everything is recorded.
• Improve productivity. With event log management, you know exactly what goes on in your company. This will help you identify areas with low productivity by monitoring the log files related to your employees’ work and how they spend their work hours.
• Easier compliance. Most businesses and organizations have to comply with one or more regulatory acts such as Sarbanes-Oxley, Federal Information Security Management Act, and Management of Information Technology Security, among others. Event log reporting will make it easy for your business or organization to comply with such regulations.
• Secure your data. How else can you learn that you data or your network is being compromised? Suspicious entries in your log files can help alert you to possible breaches in your security, allowing you to put in more stringent security measures.

No, it is not the TV show or a real escape from the penitentiary. This is about using your iPhone for quite some time and you are getting sick and tired with the same old apps. If you feel this way, then maybe it is time for your jailbreak.

Mac has so far included so many innovative features the iPhone. However, after some time, people also get bored because you cannot use the unit outside of the parameters set by the manufacturer. If you would want to try something new, then you can upgrade, tinker, play, or improve your existing unit. But you cannot do that without unlocking your phone.

With that said, the only way to get out of the limitations that the manufacturer has imposed is through a jailbreak. But if your iPhone is still under warranty, this may not be a good idea as you might lose it and will have to pay when a problem arises.

Hard drive data recovery is needed because no matter how good, advanced, or expensive your computer is, it will always reach a point of breakdown. Sometimes it takes three years, but sometimes, it conks out earlier than that.

The reason for this is that, as your hard drive works, the components constantly move parts and the magnetic disks will also wear themselves out. So when there is computer failure, you are also prone to lose valuable data.

There are many reasons why a hard drive failure occurs. There could be physical damage to the computer due to fluctuations or power interruptions. Or it may be because of software problems. Or the physical problems could be because of the typhoon waters that got inside the office. Or it could be a flood.

Depending on the cause of the computer damage, you still have hope of recovering your files using data recovery software. You can either download it for free from the internet or you can buy a premium program. But if it is physical damage and you are not knowledgeable about file extraction, then you should just bring your unit to a professional.

These utilities of data recovery software usually scan the computer in order to identify the problem. Then it will find the appropriate solution. The software can then make a backup of data recovered. If you wish, the software will also organize the files according to its type.

And there is more good news. Utilities of data recovery software could actually recover what has been deleted, as long as no new data has been written over the sector. This is just a wonderful innovation in the world of computers.

A comic strip about computers that I got from a friend's FB wall.

This comic strip was something that I got from a friend’s FB wall. I thought it humorous and it is about computers so I thought of putting it up here just for a humorous interval.

LIFE BEFORE THE COMPUTER

1. Memory was something that you lost with age.

2. An application was for employment.

3. A program was for a TV show.

4. A cursor used profanity.

5. A keyboard was a piano.

6. A web was a spider’s home

7. A virus was a flu.

8. A CD was bank account.

9. A hard drive was a hard trip on the road.

If that did not make you laugh, I don’t know what will. LOL

10. A mouse pad was where a mouse lived.

11. And if you have a 3.5-inch floppy, you just hoped that nobody found out.

You may know it when your computer is crashing because it will give you telltale signs. But what if it happens already? What can you do? Here are some things that you can do even if you are no expert.

1. Turn off and turn on the power. When the computer crashes, turn the unit off. Then after a few minutes, turn it on again. More often than not, the first crash is often not fatal. So when you turn the computer again, it will once again perform normally. But don’t be too trusting–backup your files! Doing a full system backup will protect you from losing your data when the next crash, which can be more fatal, happens.

2. Check PC cable or component connection. Sometimes it is just a loose connection that causes the crash but it will give you the same message as if the computer crashes. If you want, you can turn off your computer and unplug the connection. Then open the case and make sure that all cables and connectors are attached properly. Then try to turn it on again.

3. Boot your computer from the CD drive. Using a boot disc, start up your computer. If you have successfully entered, reinstall your OS and proceed to data recovery.

If you cannot seem to understand the codes and message in your screen, don’t panic. The best thing to do is to call a computer technician to prevent further damage.
