What is Bluetooth?
Bluetooth wireless technology is a short-range communications technology
intended to replace the cables connecting portable and/or fixed devices while
maintaining high levels of security. The key features of Bluetooth technology
are robustness, low power, and low cost.
It’s more than seeing. It’s
believing.
Before wires, everything was wireless. Nature found ways to connect it
all—often on a very mysterious frequency. Bluetooth wireless technology
takes its prompt from nature: harmonious, intuitive, seamless. Products with
Bluetooth wireless technology communicate with a sense of purpose and
elegant efficiency. Today, Bluetooth wireless technology can eliminate
wires. In the future, it may make the word “wireless” entirely obsolete.
By then, Bluetooth freedom will be second nature.
Designed to make connectivity invisible and
reliable. A perfect convergence of extraordinary technology and elegant
simplicity. Hundreds of companies are on board. Thousands of engineers have
contributed. Standards have been set. Specifications have been approved.
More than one billion devices are in use. And people are experiencing just
how far they can go.
It’s integrating every dimension of
productivity.
Where do we work? Desk. Sofa. Car. Hotel. Kitchen. Plane. Yard. It’s not one
location; it’s everywhere. It’s not one application; it’s many. With
Bluetooth wireless technology, our options are endless. It’s where we’d most
expect it and where we’d least expect it—and everywhere in between. It
adapts to how we work and how we live, transforming everyday tasks into
everyday solutions. Surprising, nimble, ubiquitous. Seeking new applications
and finding new opportunities—everywhere we turn.
Technically,
Bluetooth is a specification for the use of low-power radio communications to wirelessly link phones, computers and other network devices over short distances. The name "Bluetooth" is borrowed from Harald Bluetooth, who was a king in Denmark more than 1,000 years ago
(Computer people choose the strangest names!). Bluetooth technology was designed primarily to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices and peripherals, including cell phones, PDAs,
and wireless headsets.

equivalent to those from 27 million cars — all while saving $16 billion on
their utility bills.
ENERGY STAR
Qualified Products
Products in more than 50 categories are eligible for the ENERGY STAR. They
use less energy, save money, and help protect the environment. Ask for the
ENERGY STAR. Energy efficient choices can save families and
businesses about a third on their
energy bill with similar savings of greenhouse gas emissions, without
sacrificing features, style or comfort. ENERGY STAR helps you make the
energy efficient choice. If looking for new household products, look for ones that have
earned the ENERGY STAR. They meet strict energy efficiency guidelines
set by the EPA and US Department of Energy.
What is ExpressCard™ technology? ExpressCard technology is the name
of a new standard introduced by PCMCIA in spring 2003. The ExpressCard
standard delivers thinner, faster and lighter modular expansion to desktop
and notebook computer users. Consumers can add hardware capabilities such as
memory, wired and wireless communications cards and security devices by
simply inserting these modules into their systems. All ExpressCard slots
accommodate modules designed to use either Universal Serial Bus (USB*) 2.0,
or the emerging PCI*Express standards.
Even The Best Hard Drives Die.
Do You Back Up?
Businesses of all sizes
are witnessing an explosion in the volume of data they hold. Whether it is
the result of the Internet, email, or increasingly heavy and media-rich
application software, there is a massive growth in the volume of data all
around. Conservative estimates place data growth at approximately 80% per
year. Data is increasingly being recognized as one of the real assets of a
company, and losing this data would cause severe damage to any organization.
Data loss can be very costly, particularly for
organizations in the small and medium business (SMB) market where the
difference between survival and closure can rest on the ability to recover
from a disaster. At the very least, critical data loss will have a financial
impact on companies of all sizes:
Data type
Time to re-create 20 MB
Cost
Sales and marketing
19 days
$17,000
Accounting
21 days
$19,000
Engineering
42 days
$98,000
The financial impact on a company is a combination
of loss of business, low productivity, legal action, and the cost of
re-creating data. A study showed that the cost of re-creating just 20 MB of
data can be extensive!
Your best solution, is an external drive as a
backup. You can have multiple drives, and it is much easier restore
from a portable external drive, as opposed to CDs or DVDs.
Today's Backup Options
With ever increasing hard drive sizes, how do you protect your valuable
data? CDs are only 720+ MBs, and even DVDs are limited to a few
Gigabytes. So what do you do to back up hundreds of Gigabytes? Here
are some great and inexpensive options:
High Capacity USB Thumb Drives: USB Thumb Drives are now
available in sizes as large as 64GB (soon to be even more). While
the USB interface is somewhat slow, these make an ideal solution for their
small compact size. Thumb drives are perfect for storing in files,
or other compact spaces. While their cost per GB is somewhat high,
their convenience, USB interface, size, and extremely light weight, make
them a very attractive option.
External Hard Drives Now you have a wide variety of
options for external hard drives. 1TB (Terabyte) External Drives are
now available for less than $200.00. External drives come in a wide
range of sizes, speeds, and interfaces. They are available with USB
(the slowest), Firewire (medium speed), and SATA/eSATA (the fastest).
When selecting an external drive, it is important to consider how you will
use the drive, and the interface limitations of your computer. If
you have a laptop that only has USB ports, this would be your best
(possibly only) option. If you have USB & Firewire, get a drive that
has Firewire for the performance boost. If your system has a SATA or
eSata port, get a drive with this option - it will give you true hard
drive to hard drive performance.
However, also consider where you might need to restore the data. USB
is the most universal, in that almost all systems have USB ports. If
your system dies, and you need to restore your data, this may be your most
important consideration.
One last consideration is to keep your backup drive continuously
connected, or only connect it during backups. The general idea of
backups is to have a copy of your data in case your system fails - which
they do. But you may also want secure protected backups in a safe or
safe deposit box. Regardless, external hard drives offer an
outstanding solution for backing up your data, and the cost per GB is
quite low.
Hard Drive Docks (Toasters) An incredibly simple, yet
functional new product category emerged in 2008: Hard Drive Toasters (Hard Drive
Docks). This device lets you plug in regular internal hard drives as
though they were pop-in flash drives. You drop in your hard drive,
and the dock instantly gives your system access to that drive, without
wiring, or power connections - it's all done by the hard drive toaster.
This way you can use any compatible hard drive as an external removable
hard drive for backup purposes!
Online Backup Still another option is to use an
online backup service. These come in two forms:
• Backup to another computer over the Internet
• Backup to a central server using the Internet
The first of these can work very well, and automatically backups when you
are online. The Microsoft OneCare service is one example. It
can backup your data from your system to another in your OneCare account
across the Internet automatically, regardless of where you are.
The second involves trusting your critical data to someone else's servers,
and usually no real guarantee that your data will always be there.
If they loose your data, they just refund your fee. This service may
be fine for a couple of letters, but business critical data needs to be
accessible forever. For this reason, you are better advised to look
to a hardware solution that you control.
Backup Software Many products come with backup
software included, such as External Hard Drives, and Antivirus products
like
CA Security Suite. Most offer excellent features for automated
backups. But remember, backup software and devices, are only as good
as your willingness to use them! So backup regularly, and backup often.
Why Do I Have
Less Drive Space?
Your hard drive may show less space than the published specifications due to
a number of reasons.
The way size is calculated and
displayed.
Any "Partitions" on the disk will
change the total in a specific partition.
Hidden files and folders decrease
available space.
Compression increases the apparent
size, but not the physical size.
Drives larger than the OS or Drivers
natively supports.
First, the definition of a megabytes
(or gigabytes) is a unit of data storage capacity measured in 1,048,576
bytes (or 1024KB). The larger the numbers, the more apparent the size
difference will be when listing the size as megabytes (or gigabytes) versus
bytes. Actually, both numbers are correct. The noticeable difference is due
to the 1024KB definition of a megabyte. This is why a 95.3GB hard drive can
also be listed as having 102 billion bytes of total space. Just think
of it as "round off" In the screen shot at right: The first number is the total number of bytes,
the second number is based on the number of megabytes or gigabytes.
Second, some computers have a
non-DOS hard drive partition that is used for features such as Save to Disk,
Hibernation, or Recovery. This partition is not normally reported by the
operating system, although it can be viewed using a disk partition utility.
This is very common on desktops and laptops. NOTE: Partition information will be created or
formatted automatically during initial system setup and a system recovery.
Third, by default, all system files
are hidden and cannot be seen. This may adversely affect the reporting of
available hard drive space. You can set your Folder Options so you view
system and hidden files and folders, but do be careful as changes to system
files can adversely affect your system.
Fourth, if you turn on Compression
for a drive, it will increase reported free space and used space, but since
compression is based upon the actual contents, this number is not fixed, but
will change as files are added or changed.
Fifth, older operating systems did
not support some of today's larger drives, so the total space reported may
be much smaller than the drive specifications.
It is also worth noting that bad sectors
are corrected by your operating system and can change the total drive space,
free space, or used space as well.
So as long as a drive is reporting a value
approximately close to the specification value, you can be comfortable that
you received the right drive and that you are getting to correct data
storage. Of course, tuning of your drive's partitions and options can
yield optimal values, but this is not something for the average user to
explore.
How Compatible Is HDMI?
HDMI is fully backward compatible with PCs, displays and consumer
electronics devices incorporating the Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
standard. Both HDMI and DVI were pioneered by Silicon Image and are based on
TMDS®, Silicon Image's powerful, high-speed, serial link technology. HDMI
supports standard, enhanced, or high-definition video, plus multi-channel
digital audio on a single cable. It transmits all ATSC HDTV standards and
supports 8-channel digital audio, and with 5 Gbps of bandwidth, HDMI can
accommodate future enhancements and requirements. Because HDMI was designed
specifically for consumer electronics applications, it offers an array of
additional consumer enhancements. As digital content can manifest itself in
a variety of sizes, resolutions and formats, HDMI-enabled systems will
automatically configure to display content in the most effective format. In
addition, if implemented in a specific device, HDMI enables a single remote
point and click, allowing manufacturers to deliver home theater systems that
automatically configure from a single command from a remote control --
turning on or off the components necessary to view a DVD, listen to a CD, or
watch cable or satellite TV.
What is the difference between HDMI 1.3 and HDMI 1.3a, or 1.3b?
For consumers, there is no difference between HDMI version 1.3 and 1.3a or
1.3b. These minor revisions to the specification typically relate to
manufacturing or testing issues and do not impact features or functionality
in a specific product. In addition, HDMI Licensing, LLC is actively working
with manufacturers to reduce confusion for consumers by de-emphasizing
version numbers and focusing instead on product features and functionality.
How can I identify which HDMI products
support a specific feature, such as DVD Audio or Deep Color?
The key for consumers to remember is that HDMI has consistently enabled a
variety of the most innovative new technologies (whether they are DVD Audio,
SACD, 1080p/60, etc.). However, in many cases, it is up to each manufacturer
to choose which features to implement in any given product. The manufacturer
can choose the mix of features that makes sense for its customers and
products. So, customers must choose devices that have the features that they
want (instead of focusing on which version of HDMI is implemented by the
device.). Consumers interested in confirming whether a particular consumer
electronics product supports DVD-Audio or any other feature over HDMI are
urged to review users’ manuals and product reviews, or check with
manufacturers directly.
What Is Firmware Upgradeable?
Many of today's electronics product are designed for today's standards.
Yet like personal computers, they have advanced capabilities that will let
them be upgraded for use with new technologies and standards. The
ability to upgrade the firmware of an electronics product allows you to
extend the useful lifespan of the device you purchase, and be able to expect
support for many (if not all) of the emerging new standards.
What is the difference between Active HDMI and Passive HDMI?
There is no active or passive HDMI in the HDMI specification. These terms
apply to cables. Active cables have built-in electronics to enable long
cable runs, and typically these cables require a power supply. These cables
use active electronics to help push the signal farther than typical passive
cables.
HDMI™ is the trademark of HDMI Licensing, LLC.
What Is A Cell? It's a
battery
Though technically a battery has multiple cells, we are accustomed to calling a
single energy cell a battery as well.
In
electronics, a battery or voltaic cell is a combination of many electrochemical
Galvanic cells of identical type to store chemical energy and to deliver it in
the form of electricity. The battery cells combine to produce more energy
(voltage or amps) than a cell by itself. When joined in this way, it is a
battery of cells. Almost all portable electronics use one or more cells -
rechargeable or disposable. The more cells, the more energy available -
meaning more hours of use usually.
In Notebook computers, the battery case usually
holds three or more cells. 3 Cell batteries tend to provide about 1-3
hours of use, depending on the energy needs of the Laptop. 6 cell (or
more) batteries provide much more energy, and many more hours of use. This
can be good or bad! More cells mean longer use, but more weight too!
So remember to always check for the number of
cells if specified, and choose the right configuration for your use.
Battery Trivia:
The invention of the first battery (known as a Voltaic pile) was in 1800 by
Alessandro Volta! The first known usage of the battery (as we know it
today) was in 1863 by the physician named Flora Bills.
Got Enough
Memory? Bet You'll Need More!
Windows Vista and today's software
applications make much greater demands on your system's memory. Adding
peripherals, like webcams, USB hard drives, and complex Internet pages, all
take memory. Watching DVD movies, or watching videos on the web, or
playing PC based games demand increased memory. So take full
advantage of your system's potential, your operating system's enhancement
and entertainment capabilities, and your software's productivity by expanding
your system memory!
The best time to
add more memory is when you buy your system! Get the memory that's
right for your computer, whether laptop, desktop, or All-In-One.

Shared
Memory? Or Where Did My Memory Go?
Your computer uses memory to run your
Operating System, applications, peripherals, and to generate and display
graphics on your computer monitor. Video memory is a form of RAM, and is
either built into your motherboard; or on a graphics card (video card).
Depending on the motherboard's configuration, and that of the video card (if
separate or built-in to the motherboard), your computer may have to draw on
its own RAM memory to meet its video memory needs. This creates shared
memory, where your computer’s RAM will be shared between its own Processor
(CPU) and its graphics chip.
The result is that some systems will have
shared memory, some will not. If you have 2GB (for example) of system
memory installed, you may notice that your system reports significantly less
memory. This is because your system is using shared memory for your
video.
What can you do about this?
You can actually configure this shared memory through your computer’s BIOS
settings. However, this is a setting best left alone, since it is
typically optimized for display performance, and making changes may impact
display resolutions, and other video capabilities.
The simplest solution is usually to either:
increase your system memory; or to upgrade the video hardware. By
upgrading to a new video card with built-in video memory, then turning off
shared memory, you will free your system to use it's maximum potential
memory, and provide your system with much more robust video features.
How Much
Memory Do You Really Have?
When you look at the specifications for a computer, it will display the
installed memory, and typically the maximum memory that can be installed.
However, while these are real values, they represent a potential useable
memory depending upon the installed operating system, and other factors. The actual useable memory may be different
(lower) from these values.
The reason is simply that a computer may have a limitation in the operating
system (such as Windows 32 bit versions), or configured to use shared memory,
which reduces the amount of RAM that is available to the CPU by using
some of it for other purposes, such as for video memory. In some
cases, you can control the maximum useable memory through system settings,
by upgrading from a 32 bit to a 64 bit version of Windows XP or Vista, or by upgrading to a video card that has internal onboard video memory.
But always
remember, that the amount of memory that your system reports, is not always
the amount of actual installed memory. For example, if you have 4GB
installed, 32 bit versions of Windows will typically report 3.2GB due to a
limitation of Windows itself. Also note that different Windows
programs report available and maximum memory differently, which can be
confusing. If you find that you need more
memory, we suggest expanding your system memory, since this is the most
effective performance increase, and the one that is easiest to perform .
What Is USB 2.0?
USB 1.1 was great when it was introduced almost a decade ago. But
the newer USB 2.0 transfers data dramatically faster - up to 40 times
quicker. Plus, USB 2.0 provides additional bandwidth for multimedia and
storage applications, which are growing larger every year. Also to your
advantage is the fact that USB 2.0 is forward and backward compatible with
USB 1.1, which means that cables and connectors made for the original USB
configuration will also work perfectly in a USB 2.0 port, though some newer
devices are specifically designed for USB 2.0. It is always a good
idea to verify the version of USB supported by each device you want to use.
