iPhones Target the Tech Elite

The new Apple iPhone is scheduled to debut in June 2007, 30 years to the month after the Apple II, the world's first popular PC, appeared. As if it were a comet we have been speculating about and tracking over the past two years, the iPhone is no surprise, but we still can't keep our eyes off it. Like the Apple II, the iPhone will arrive with an impact that affects several domains?financial, technical, and cultural. Although felt immediately, understanding its full impact will take years.

Strategically, the iPhone will help Apple protect and expand its base of iPod devices into the domain of smart phones and converging devices. On the surface, the iPhone is an iPod with an integrated phone. There is, of course, much more.


USER FRIENDLY

From a user perspective, the device incorporates a 2-megapixel camera, a Web browser, and iTunes. All the device's communications, computing, and graphics require serious computing horsepower and batteries. The iPhone will have four ARM processors, and Apple claims that battery life will be around five hours for talking, watching videos, and Web browsing on the Internet.

The iPhone represents mature technology that several other mobile phones or PDAs have demonstrated. What makes it different is that the device's aesthetic appeal hides much of its complexity, as Figure 1 shows. Moreover, the design integrates well with the vertical market Apple has created for TV, music, and movies. The phone syncs with iTunes just like an iPod, and its software works like (and with) the Mac's.

The iPhone promises to build on Apple's coolness legacy. Moreover, it could quickly become known as the elite experience in a world that already has 10 billion mobile phones. Apple's initial 10 million iPhones will represent barely a tenth of one percent of the world's cell phone market. Early adopters will thus be special, members of the tech elite.

If the iPhone meets expectations, it could create a new, unpredictable dynamic in the mobile phone marketplace. Already, for example, Sprint reduced the cost of its music downloads in March from $2.50 a song to 99 cents.

Returning to the comet analogy, the iPhone could have as much of a disruptive effect on the existing cell phone market as the dinosaur-killing comet's impact did 65 million years ago. Or, as with the Apple II in 1977, it could be the beginning of a new age for devices we haven't named yet.

Tips Penjagaan Laptop

Hye skali lg..pisz

Penggunaan komputer riba atau lap top adalah trend masa kini. Mudah dibawa serta menampilkan gaya eksklusif. Biar pun telah lama digunakan dengan penjagaan yang sempurna ia seperti baru dibeli. Penjagaan komputer riba yang efektif memanjangkan jangka hayat penggunaannya. Ikutilah beberapa tip cara penjagaan komputer riba anda.

1. Bateri* Elakkan daripada penggunaan bateri.
* Komputer lebih sejuk tanpa haba dari bateri.
* Jika bateri sudah habis dicas, digalakkan menggunakan kuasa dari adapter.
* Pastikan bateri berada di bawah 10 peratus sebelum dicas semula.
* Jika terlalu kerap dicas, bateri akan kehilangan keupayaan menyimpan tenaga di bawah 50 peratus.

2. Papan Kekunci.
* Letakkan sekeping kertas A4 untuk papan kekunci setiap kali tidak menggunakannya untuk menghindarkan papan kekunci dimasuki habuk.
* Sesekali lapkan papan kekunci dengan perlahan-lahan. Jangan terlalu kasar untuk mengelakkan butang kekunci rosak.
* Kalau boleh gunakan papan kekunci dan tetikus berasingan supaya kita tidak terlalu kerap menggunakan papan kekunci di komputer riba.

3. Skrin LCD
* Lapkan ia selalu kerana mudah dimasuki habuk.
* Gunakan screen saver.
* Power management setkan pada ‘Turn Off monitor in … minutes’.
* Elakkan menyentuh skrin dengan jari kerana kesan jari yang berminyak menyukarkan untuk pembersihan.
* Jangan letakkan jari di skrin kerana boleh menyebabkan ‘Dead pixel’.

4. Haba Panas
* Pastikan komputer riba anda ada ruang untuk mengeluarkan haba panas.
* Perlu diingat komputer riba mempunyai ruang simpanan yang kecil.

5. Surge Protector
* Fungsinya sebagai menjaga perisian dan perkakasan daripada rosak.
* Disyorkan jenama APC, BELKIN atau TARGUS.
* Kelebihan APC - mempunyai bateri simpanan, line protection
(tiada elektrik tapi masih boleh dihidupkan lagi) dan mempunyai amaran kehabisan bateri.
* Kelebihan lain Surge Protector ialah menjaga HDD dan Power Supply.

6. Port
* Sentiasa dibersihkan kerana mudah dimasuki habuk.
* Gunakan berus atau berus gigi lama.
* Pastikan suis dimatikan ketika membuat pembersihan.

Reasons Why Your Computer Runs Slow

1. Start up overload.

• As you add additional programs, they claim start-up status quickly and quietly. The more programs you have that are loading at start-up, the slower the start-up. Go to start, all programs, scroll to Startup and see how many programs are lurking there. The decision is yours. Remove the programs you do not want, or are not necessary, to be starting at boot-up.

2. Spyware

• Malicious programs that stealthily embed themselves into your software. They are installed in your software, without your knowledge, in many ways. Through e-mail especially, the ones that are multi-forwarded. You know who sent it to you, but what about all of those other names? Who are they? Through free scans or free downloads. Through Web sites that you visit that specialize in this practice, and music downloads.

3. The Registry

• If your registry is corrupted or bloated, there could be a BSOD in your future. The Windows registry is the master control center for your operating system and the applications it runs. Corruption or overload can cause: performance problems, including applications at start-up, slow windows start-up, extremely slow shut-downs and a general disruption of system processing. Unless you are absolutely sure of what you are doing, DON'T manually attempt any changes to the registry. I go there frequently but not without first backing up and/or setting a restore point.

4. Poor Security Software

• A large number of security programs, and suites, are bloated with software and demand a great deal of system resource and memory. The constant surveillance of your system for malicious ITD's can cause your system to get sluggish. Yes, system security is essential, but some of the programs have gone overboard with coding and, some of the lesser known, can be a source of system infestation.

Security Categories

• Adware/Spyware
• Antivirus
