All of these data is delivered in the form of an XML file (XML stands for eXtensible Markup Language), which has the following common names:<br /><br />• RSS feed<br />• Webfeed<br />• RSS stream<br />• RSS channel<br /><br /><br />They are typically shown on web pages as an orange rectangle that usually has the letters XML or RSS in it.<br /><br />RSS feeds can be used to deliver any kind of information. Some of these 'feeds' include:<br /><br />• Blogs feed - each blog entry is summarized as a feed item. This makes blog posts easier to scan, enabling 'visitors' to zoom in on their items of interest.<br /><br />• Article feed - this alerts readers whenever there are new articles and web contents available.<br /><br />• Forum feed - this allows users to receive forum posts and latest discussion topics.<br /><br />• Schedule feed - this allows users (such as schools, clubs, and other organizations) to broadcast events and announce schedule changes or meeting agendas.<br /><br />• Discounts or Special feed - this is used to enable users (such as retail and online stores) to 'deliver' latest specials and discounted offers.<br /><br />• Ego or News Monitoring - this enables users to receive 'filtered' headlines or news that are based on a specific phrase or keyword.<br /><br />• Industry-specific feed - used by technical professionals in order to market, promote, or communicate with current (and prospective) customers and clients within their specific industries.<br /><br />RSS feeds enable people to track numerous blogs and news sources at the same time. To produce an RSS feed, all you need is the content or the article that you want to publicize and a validated RSS text file. Once your text file is registered at various aggregators (or 'news readers'), any external site can then capture and display your RSS feed, automatically updating them whenever you update your RSS file.<br /><br />RSS tools are useful for sites that add or modify their contents on a regular basis. They are especially used for 'web syndication' or activities that involve regular updates and/or publications, such as the following:<br /><br />• News websites - as used by major news organizations such as Reuters, CNN, and the BBC.<br />• Marketing<br />• Bug reports<br />• Personal weblogs<br /><br />There are many benefits to using RSS feeds. Aside from being a great supplemental communication method that streamlines the communication needs of various sectors, RSS tools and feeds can also have tremendous benefits in your business, particularly in the field of internet marketing.<br /><br />RSS tools and feeds provide Internet users with a free (or cheap) and easy advertising or online marketing opportunity for their businesses. Below are some of the RSS features that can help make your internet marketing strategies more effective.<br /><br />1. Ease in content distribution services. With RSS, your business can be captured and displayed by virtually any external site, giving you an easy way to 'spread out' and advertise them.<br /><br />2. Ease in regular content updates. With RSS, web contents concerning your business can now be automatically updated on a daily (and even hourly) basis. Internet users will be able to experience 'real time' updates as information in your own file (such as new products and other business-related releases) is changed and modified simultaneously with that of the RSS feeds that people are subscribed to.<br /><br />3. Custom-made content services. With RSS, visitors can have personalized content services, allowing them total control of the flow and type of information that they receive. Depending on their interests and needs, visitors can subscribe to only those contents that they are looking for (such as real estate or job listings).<br /><br />4. Increase in (and targeted) traffic. With RSS, traffic will be directed to your site as readers of your content summary (or 1 to 2 lines of your article) who find them interesting are 'forced' to click on a link back to your site.<br /><br />These are just several of the many things that you can do with RSS. The possibilities are endless, and they are all aimed at providing you with an effective internet marketing strategy for your business.<br /><br />In the mean time, Good Luck on your journey to success…<br /><br />OR if you would like to succeed immediately to create financial freedom working only 4 hours a week, check out www.secrets2internetfortunes.com.<br /><br />AND for a Limited Time, you will also receive a FREE copy of a limited number of the amazing 60 page eBook “52 Highly Profitable Instant Online Business Ideas That You Can Steal As Your Own And Start Today On A Very Tight Budget!”, which is jam packed with so many ideas you can use to instantly create an automated income for life!

The Ipod beforehand has proved to be a very popular device, and it's now likely for the Iphone to repeat that success.<br /><br />In order to download the music videos for the Iphone, the first thing you need to do is to make sure the videos you are downloading are in the MP4 format, as this is the only video format the Iphone can currently support. Luckily you'll find that most sites are primarily based around this format anyway.<br /><br />The toughest thing about downloading the music videos for the Iphone is actually finding them. It's pretty tough to find the best download sites unless you know where they are. There are several different kinds of site, some of which may well prove to be a lot more trouble than they are worth. Probably the biggest danger is to use a peer to peer site for your downloads. Whilst these sites have been popular in the past, it's best to avoid them as they are breaking the law, and so will you be if you download anything from there. Another major danger is the software itself-you can seriously damage your computer and Iphone by using these sites, as there is no regulation of what is uploaded by the users. This means hackers and spammers use sites like this as a method of introducing new viruses to the internet, putting you at direct risk.<br /><br />The good news about this is that you can now find a few sites which can offer you all the positive sides of the peer to peer sites, but very few of the negatives. The way it works is that you pay a one off fee to join the site, and in turn they give you unlimited downloads. Because you pay the sites a fee to join, they use the income to keep their downloads clean and regularly add new downloads to their stocks. You'll also find that these kinds of sites keep a lot more in their database than music videos-you'll also find movies and games as well as TV shows. This gives these kinds of sites a tremendous amount of value for money.<br /><br />If you are looking to download some music videos for your Iphone, this article will hopefully let you know anything you need.<br /><br /><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Download-Games-Onto-iPhone&id=821450">Iphone Games</a><br /><br /><a href="http://ezinearticles.com/?Download-Free-Iphone-Games-and-Movies-Today&id=821495">Downloads For Iphone </a><br /><br /><a href="http://www.iphonedownloadsreviews.com/">http://www.IphoneDownloadsReviews.com</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772505630116355874.post-39361932279911029712007-12-05T20:09:00.000-08:002007-12-05T20:10:07.602-08:00Anti-Spyware<div id="body"><p><b>What is Spyware?</b></p><p>Spyware is malicious software that has been surreptitiously installed on a computer typically from a source such as the Internet.</p><p><b>What does it do?</b></p><p>Spyware in its present form started out as a means of surreptitiously gathering information about a person and relaying it over a medium such as the Internet. It has somewhat evolved and can now be used to steal information such as someone's bank details or to harm your computer.</p><p>It can harm your computer in many ways from making you computer behave in an unexpected manor to causing regular system crashes. Spyware can be installed by means of using free programs downloaded from the internet and also by doing such things as installing Internet browser toolbars.</p><p><b>My computer works fine, so it's Spy-ware free?</b></p><p>If your lucky then you don't, but unlike a virus not all spyware will show itself by trying to harm your system. It may just quietly sit there gathering information and sharing it with some unscrupulous person. Which could potentially be more harmful than any computer virus could ever be you.</p><p><b>Can spyware take control of my computer?</b></p><p>Spyware has the capacity to take limited control over your computer and the ability to make your computer unusable. The control it can take can come in the form of taking control of your Internet browser and redirecting you to another website. This could be done in order to further compromise your computer by having harmful viruses installed on it or in an attempt to generate revenue for third parties.</p><p><b>Is Spyware a Virus?</b></p><p>By definition spyware is not a virus; although it may be mistaken for one by a user as it can have the same malicious effect.</p><p><b>What can be done about it?</b></p><p>The best way to fight spyware is to make sure you are protected from the word "go". So, before you even start to use the Internet make sure you have some form of anti-spyware software along with anti-virus and a firewall.</p><p>Saying that, it is usually only when we have encountered a problem that we then go and look for the solution. Meaning, if you are reading this then there is a good chance you already have some form of spyware on your system and are looking for ways to combat this threat.</p><p>If you are already infected then there are some anti-spyware software packages that will find and destroy the spyware in most cases, but as you may be aware some work better than others. Some spyware packages will not find new or certain types of spyware and it usually those certain types of spyware which will be harming your computer.</p><p>There are many sites that can offer Spyware protection as well as a wealth of information about Spyware and how to protect yourself from it.</p></div><p>www.antispywareguidepro.com</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772505630116355874.post-38128049126768067102007-11-24T20:50:00.001-08:002007-11-24T20:50:59.157-08:00Features Of Your MP4 Player<p>When MP3s came into the market, they were a huge hit. They were small and portable, and owners could listen to all their favorite music while on the move. Now you have the MP4 player, such as iPod, with even more advanced, attractive features! </p> <p>With the MP4 player (iPod), you can not only listen to your favorite songs, you can also watch your favorite movies, music videos, and TV shows, along with all your MP3 songs. It can do other things as well - you can listen to FM radio stations, you can record voice notes, and on some devices, you can even read your favorite ebooks. </p> <p>Since 1993, when the MP3 technology was first introduced in to the market, it had been the most important music format. The recent introduction of the MP4 with its more compressed audio format has again changed the way digital sound is perceived. Most people might not be aware of how the MP4 differs from the MP3 and think that MP4s are more compressed and hence smaller than the audio files in the MP3 format; others assume that these two represent different technologies. </p> <p>There are both common features as well as distinctions between MP3 and MP4 players. The most important point that comes to the mind when you compare the two, is that the MP4 format has properties that make up for all the shortfalls of the MP3, and the quality of perception of the files in the MP4 format is much better when compared to the MP3. </p> <p>Basically, MP4 is a container. So it has the capability to carry video as well as audio files. So the basic difference is that the MP4 contains the audio and video at the same time while the MP3 format can support only the audio files. The MP4 player (iPod) allows you to realize something bigger and better than anything you can imagine. It is a new concept known as Structured Audio, and it is a mode of describing sound in the most ultra-modern way. </p> <p>The MP4 technology supports a quality of sound that represents the future standard for a variety of multimedia application , including computer music and gaming audio; hence one can think of the MP4 as the next step in the evolution of the file format that started with the MP3. </p> <p>There are many types of MP4 players in the market. They are very light and have small screens of 1.2 inch, however some of them may have screens of up to 2 inches. The speakers are built inside the players and there are earphone sockets as well. It is not unusual to find OLED display characteristics. OLED produces brighter and sharper images as compared to LCD images. </p> <p>A great characteristic of MP4 players (iPod) is that there are not innumerable buttons for the various commands. Only a few buttons are sufficient for the purpose. The memory is quite large at 8 GB for flash based and 100 GB in case of micro based hard drive . </p> <p>The latest MP4 players (iPod) even support third party, flash memory cards, which are external... they even have USB support. Earphones and other accessories are also available with the MP4, but at times the quality may not be up to the mark. </p> <p>Because of it capability of delivering both video and audio at the same time, MP4 devices (iPod) can offer an even greater range of features such as email, web browsing, instant messaging , music and video download, digital camera<a href="http://www.articlesfactory.com/articles/psychology.html"><img src="http://www.articlesfactory.com/pic/x.gif" alt="Psychology Articles" border="0" /></a>, bluetooth wireless technology and many more. Multiple language options and gaming capability add to its versatility. Features such as voice recording enable MP4 devices to be used not only for entertainment but also for professional purposes. </p> <p>This article is under GNU FDL license and can be distributed without any previous authorization from the author.

Notebooks generally operate on a single main battery or through an external adapter that can both charge the battery and also supply power to the notebook.</p><p>Notebooks are adept at performing the same jobs like a personal desktop; the only difference is that they are generally less powerful for the same cost. They consist of similar components like desktop computers and execute the same functions, except that they are miniature in size and suitable for transportable use and effective power consumption. Notebooks usually have LCD and different memory modules. They have a built-in keyboard; input is done through a touchpad or a pointing stick, though an external mouse can also be attached.</p><p>There are different categories of notebooks. UMPCs are Ultra-Mobile PCs and are very portable. Since they are of a small size they can fit in a small touch screen while some other models have a minute physical keyboard along with a mouse interface. The other type is Ultraportables which are notebooks and have screens less than eleven inches and have less than 3.7 pounds (1.7 kg) of weight. They are generally used by business travelers, as they are small and light though very expensive. They have an extended battery life and integrated graphics. The other type of notebook is the Sony VAIO FJ76, and Dell XPS M1330 and XPS M1210. Then we have the mainstream notebooks that are more of budget desktops. And if you want desktop power, then you can opt for desktop replacement which can accommodate many performance components.</p><p>As far as the processors are concerned you should go for the fastest that your budget will allow. You can opt for Intel's Centrino that has great speed and also good battery life. Or else you can also go for the economic AMD's mobile processors whose performance still lags behind Intel. If you intend to watch DVDs on your notebook then go for wide screen ones that offer sharper, larger and great images. The only consideration is that they are not meant for carrying around a lot.</p><p>For great system performance it is vital to have enough memory (RAM) that will allow you to run many applications together. Adequate RAM is also essential for image and video editing, graphics work, and 3D gaming. Generally notebooks have a terrible sound quality so it is recommended to use speakers or headphones. These are some of the factors that you need to consider before buying a notebook.</p><p>Also keep in mind that like any electronic device, your notebook is vulnerable to accidents as well as system failures. It is recommended to get at least a three year warranty and also some additional insurance.</p><p>Health hazards related to using a laptop has been a controversial topic for quite some time. Researches have proved that heat generated from notebooks can raise temperature of scrotum, leading to reduced sperm count. A solution can be using it on a table or keeping it apart from the lap that will enable better cooling of the notebook and also prevent your lap from excessive electromagnetic radiation and heat.</p><p>Some of the famous brands that have notebook are Acer that have TravelMate, Ferrari and Aspire models; BenQ; Compaq with its Armada, LTE, EVO and Presario models.

The interface lets users zoom in and out on the parts of a Web page that interest them in an intuitive way, making it easy to use these large-screen formatted pages on a mobile device. On current mobile browsers, it can typically take up to a minute or more for a Web page to render, however the Deepfish architecture only loads the user-specified portion of the page, providing much quicker page-load times, as detailed information is only retrieved as needed or in the background.<br /><br />To download the Deepfish technology preview and get updates from the Deepfish team blog go to, <a href="http://labs.live.com/deepfish/">http://labs.live.com/deepfish/</a>.

This is all done through microarchitecture improvements and requires no virtual machine software changes. Virtualization partitions or compartmentalizes a single computer so that it can run separate operating systems and software, which can better leverage multicore processing power, increase efficiency and cut costs by letting a single machine act as many virtual "mini" computers.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Higher Frequencies</b> -- Penryn family of products will deliver higher overall clock frequencies within existing power and thermal envelopes to further increase performance. Desktop and server products will introduce speeds at greater than 3GHz.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal">Fast Division of Numbers – Penryn-based processors provide fast divider performance, roughly doubling the divider speed over previous generations for computations used in nearly all applications through the inclusion of a new, faster divide technique called Radix 16. The ability to divide instructions and commands faster increases a computer's performance.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Larger Caches</b> -- Penryn processors include up to a 50 percent larger L2 cache with a higher degree of associativity to further improve the hit rate and maximize its utilization. Dual-core Penryn processors will feature up to a 6MB L2 cache and quad-core processors up to a 12MB L2 cache. Cache is a memory reservoir where frequently accessed data can be stored for more rapid access. Larger and faster cache sizes speed a computer's performance and response time.<o:p></o:p></p> <p class="MsoNormal"><b>Unique Super Shuffle Engine</b> -- By implementing a full-width, single-pass shuffle unit that is 128-bits wide, Penryn processors can perform full-width shuffles in a single cycle. This significantly improves performance for SSE2, SSE3 and SSE4 instructions that have shuffle-like operations such as pack, unpack and wider packed shifts. This feature will increase performance for content creation, imaging, video and high-performance computing.</p>Source:Intel Press release.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772505630116355874.post-15957772700061743062007-03-15T06:21:00.001-07:002007-03-15T06:21:31.290-07:00Windows Vista feature to avoid power misuse<p class="MsoNormal">One of the significant features Microsoft introduced in Vista is new power saving mode. Windows XP has two power saving mode, Standby and Hibernate. Windows Vista replaced them by Sleep mode. Hibernate is still available as an advanced power setting, but the Sleep mode is the default one and has more advanced features.<span style=""><o:p></o:p></span></p> <p class="MsoNormal">While in sleep, computer uses very less power for internal use. In notebooks, with the minimum power used during sleep mode, system goes to stand by mode and the state of the system is saved in the memory. If battery power goes down to critically low level, the system wakes for a very short time to save the needed information onto the hard drive, and immediately goes to hibernate state.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">In Desktop systems, the process is little different. Here Microsoft Vista uses "hybrid sleep". In hybrid sleep, the state of the system is stored both in RAM and on disk, so that system can recover it’s state in case the power is lost. After saving the state of the system, it goes to sleep mode from where computer can easily bring back to working state.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Top goal of introducing this mode is enabling easy and first ‘on’ and ‘off’ of the computer. While making sure computer can save all data when the system is turned off, and brings in same state while you turn back on. In order to ensure that "off" worked effectively with this new model, instead of waiting for green signal from each application in the computer, Windows Vista sending notice to each application, services and devices about the power saving state and wait for maximum 2 seconds for them to finish up their current job and put themselves into a state from where they can continue when the system wakes up. Similarly Windows vista is very fast to come back from the sleep state. When you open the lid of your laptop, you will find your system becomes instantly on, sometime you may wonder if it was on whole time.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Another goal is to reduce the power consumption when the system is idle. Normally we want to avoid long boot process of the computer, so we prefer to keep the system up 24X7. This may be nice to keep your system always ready to work but in this way we are wasting huge amount of power. Windows Vista’s sleep mode made dramatic change to reduce computer’s idle power consumption. While a typical Pentium 4 system uses 102.6 watts of power, same PC while in sleep consumes only 5.6 watts. Vista provides API for the application developers so that application can get notifications about the power scheme being used on the system and then adapt their behavior for the power scheme.</p> <p class="MsoNormal">Using Microsoft group policy IT administrator of a Business organization can decide that all machines will go to sleep after specified time of inactivity. Normally in large organization tons of computers sitting idle and because of that huge power gets wasted. This feature must help them to reduce power wastage.</p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772505630116355874.post-3775644682460586992007-02-28T07:18:00.000-08:002007-02-28T07:28:31.588-08:00High-performance computing environments by IBMIBM on Wednesday unveiled a technology, marketing, and sales initiative to widen adoption of networked x86-based computers in high-performance computing (HPC) environments.<br /><br />Normally HPC is used in large organizations, but in new initiative, IBM going to make this techology available for smaller businesses and departments of larger enterprises.<span style="font-weight: bold;"></span><br /><br />HPC initiative based on IBM hardware; third-party applications pre-architected for the life sciences; computer-aided engineering software; and middleware for finance sectors.

Most of which are newly introduced in this version. Along with them old security features also available with some advanced protection mechanism.</p><p>UAC (User Account Control) is the most significant security update in Vista. With this feature, all users, including users with administrative privileges, run in a standard user mode by default. When any action require Administration privilege such as software installation or changing system setting, Windows prompts for Administrator authentication. This security implemented in Vista to protect your computer from malware software. If any of those malware softwares tries to change any setting or install any software in your system, they will be prompted for consent first. System administrators also have the option to configure the system to require an administrator password for such elevations.</p><p>Microsoft added another layer of security ‘Windows Defender’. Windows defender going to scan the system periodically to detect spyware, addition to that it includes Real Time Security Agents which is going to monitor the important settings of the systems if there any system configuration changes caused by spyware.</p><p>Windows vista introduced several parental controls. As an administrator it is possible to locking web content and limit web browsing to only Kids website. As well as controlling based on categories such as “Pornography” or “Chatting” and so on. Administrator can restrict other users from executing certain programs. Also there is option to restrict certain hours of the day when gaming or other activities are permitted.</p><p>It also introduced BitLocker Drive Encryption to protect data from a lost or stolen computer. There is a big threat of data theft or exposure from lost or stolen computer. Data on lost or stolen machines can often be viewed by installing a different operating system. BitLocker Drive Encryption is a hardware-enabled data protection feature that helps protect data on a PC when the machine is in unauthorized hands. By encrypting the entire Windows volume, it prevents unauthorized users from accessing Windows file and attempting the offline viewing of information on the secured drive.</p><p>The Encryption File System (EFS) is a powerful tool for encrypting information on client computers and remote file server to protect them from unauthorized users. EFS support storing user keys as well as administrative recovery keys on smart cards. If smart cards are used for logon, EFS operates in a Single Sign On mode, where it uses the logon smart card for file encryption without further prompting for the PIN. The Client Side Cache, which stores offline copies of files from remote servers, can also be encrypted with EFS.</p><p>Another way that malicious software makes its way onto a user’s machine is by taking advantage of buffer overruns. Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) is a defense capability in Windows Vista that makes it harder for malicious code to exploit a system function. Whenever a Windows Vista computer is rebooted, ASLR randomly assigns executable images such as DLLs and EXEs to one of 256 possible locations in memory. This makes it harder for exploit code to locate and therefore take advantage of functionality inside the executables.</p><p>It is very common in office environment that somehow malware got into one of the systems and from there malware spread into other systems in the local network. To avoid those circumstances vista introduced Network Access Protection(NAP) that performs computer health policy validation. Independent hardware and software vendors can plug their security solutions into NAP, so IT administrators can choose the security solutions that meet their unique needs — and NAP helps ensure that every machine on the network makes full use of those solutions.</p><p>Vista also includes the much improved Internet Explorer 7, which includes more than a dozen new security enhancements.</p><p><br /></p><br /><!-- google_ad_section_end -->Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7772505630116355874.post-58453607847061820372007-02-14T15:28:00.000-08:002007-02-14T15:36:13.871-08:00Nokia Music manager in Nokia 5300<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByvQd4ZX9C5s5ZoqPIGljzm01webGhX4LZvWvmtoTH8zArfYBXOtBmyWVoWpjPB5lRE0Z3ZXCwv7-6wOPQT88CdoQ8qcxGt9aOV1bz0POtD-uFTPlaOllphEonf9D8Qb8sbgFwcyDsZM/s1600-h/transfer_music_sub_3.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiByvQd4ZX9C5s5ZoqPIGljzm01webGhX4LZvWvmtoTH8zArfYBXOtBmyWVoWpjPB5lRE0Z3ZXCwv7-6wOPQT88CdoQ8qcxGt9aOV1bz0POtD-uFTPlaOllphEonf9D8Qb8sbgFwcyDsZM/s320/transfer_music_sub_3.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5031537665865069298" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Music Manger in Nokia 5300 is very good application to manage music. <p class="MsoNormal">You can import music from your CDs to computer, and then transfer all your best songs from your computer straight to your Nokia phone.
