What is iPhone? iPhone is a thick mobile phone produced by Apple.

Choose Windows Or Mac

If i have a budget, which computer platform i want to buy? Windows or Mac? Windows are from Microsoft and Mac from Apple Computers. Windows dominate the computer market and here i will explain why, from my point of view.

Personally, i would like to use Windows based computers. Even though Windows installed computers sometimes can attacked by a virus, malware or spyware, it have larger advantage compared to Mac computers in software and hardware configuration.

There are more and more anti virus software out there ready to provide you solid protection and strong immunities. They are available for free, or for certain amount of money.

You can add more software accessories if you're using Windows based computer. You can install a software that made your Windows desktop interface looks like MacBook even tough you're using Windows XP.

There even a software that being used to transform Windows XP to be look like windows Vista. You can install free utilities software to maintain your pc. Then, you can install any browser you want to use, either Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Internet Explorer, Safari or Opera.

There is thousand of computer games available for windows. You can add more hardware for faster performance for more gaming experience, such as graphic card for sharper view, sound system, install larger monitor, ergonomic keyboard, specialized joystcik or even customized mouse. If you still want to use a Windows based computer just for office works such as typing documents, creating presentation slaid, checking accounts and budgets, you can choose to buy average performance pc.

I dont choose Mac because if something happens to its software or hardware, i have to find Apple store in my area to fix the problem, because you cant format a Mac yourself. To tell you the truth, there is no Apple shop available in my place.

I have to go 552 kilometers to get into a small computer shop that I knew sells Apple products and giving maintenance service for Mac user. That sure eat a lot of time and money. Not mention the energy consumption.

But, if something happens to my Windows computer or my laptop, i can reinstall the operating system, the drivers, reinstall the software after doing backups for my important documents, images, videos and other digital files. It sure saves more time, energy and money.

However, either you choose Windows or Mac, it depends on what you wanna do with it and how you use it to do your job. If you're satisfied with simple-but-poweful Mac approach, choose Mac instead. But if you want to try hundreds of games, applications, software, test some hardware, choose Windows.

5 Reason Why Kaspersky Anti-Virus Suits Your Computer

Kaspersky Lab is the maker of Kaspersky Anti Virus software, Kaspersky Internet Security and Kaspersky Mobile Security mobile phone anti virus software. In case you wanna know why many computer user choose Kaspersky as their main anti virus software, here's 5 reason that i can tell you:

1. Kaspersky anti virus downloads more hourly updates automatically compared to the other anti virus software such as Bit Defender, Norton, McAfee and Trend Micro. I can say, Kaspersky downloads the highest number of virus definition updates more than any other anti virus in the same class.

2. Kaspersky Anti-Virus reacts faster to virus threats even before the virus attacks the registry of your computer. Other anti virus software is fast also, but i've found that Kaspersky detects virus faster.

3. Kaspersky can be used in low memory computers, such as 128MB of RAM. It only use low system requirement and use fewer resource. The loading process is faster and steady too, just like when using AVG anti virus.

4. Because of its automated hourly updates, Kaspersky has the biggest library of virus names, infection types, virus attack types and virus sample database. Kaspersky react quickly to their server if there is a new updates of virus database available.

5. Kaspersky virus analyst gives you fast support, not just reliable and handled by humans, not automated software. I have tried to email Norton support, McAfee, Bit Defender and Trend Micro, but the fastest reply I've received is from the Kaspersky team. Good job guys! You've done well in helping us create a greener world from computer virus threats!

Windows Xp Slows Down

Some reason that may cause Windows Xp to slows down are:

1. Frequent installation and removal of programs. You always installing a new program, then removing some other programs from your computer. This will effect a dirty registry in Windows, full of unused registry keys from removed programs. The effect, it makes your Windows XP slows down, slow start up process, slow booting process and slow shut down process.

2. Your Windows XP might be infected with hidden spyware, malware (malicious code software), worm virus, trojan downloader or adware. Those hidden virus may comes from plugged USB removeable storage device or USB external hard drives that been plugged into other computer before.

3. RAM amount is low, not more than 512MB. Check your RAM amount by looking at start up screen or in system information. Right click My Computer icon on the Desktop -> Properties -> System Properties.

4. The anti virus software installed in your computer may running a virus scan in the background each time you start the computer. This happens when the anti virus runs automatic, scheduled scanning each time the computer being started. You actually can disable this setting.

Suggetion to make your Windows Xp runs faster:

Install additional RAM amount, at least 1GB for best performance.
Delete some program during Windows Xp start up
Use Windows classic theme
Update your anti virus every days to make sure you're truly protected from latest virus downloading its root program into your computer from the internet.
Install USB Security Disk for protection from virus infection that may comes from removable storage devices.

Your Mozilla Firefox slows down maybe because any one of these reasons:

1. Firefox is downloading latest updates in the background. Thus, its eats some of the internet bandwidth that use currently uses. Actually, you can do the Firefox updates process manually. Click Tools -> Options -> Advanced -> Update -> Firefox to change auto update setting.

2. You computer's anti virus software is downloading automatic updates in the background. Thus, slows down internet connection and also slows down page load process in Mozilla Firefox.

3. Your computer RAM amount is low, about 128MB-256MB only. Upgrade to larger RAM, at least 1GB to get more memory space, thus enabling Mozilla Firefox to get more cache space while browsing the internet. Each time you open a new web page, blog or a website, it loads faster. This is because it was downloaded into your browser cache first before displayed on screen.

4. Mozilla Firefox add on is downloading their latest updates. This can be annoying. Why not choose to update it manually in your spare time? Change the setting in Tools -> Options -> Advanced - Update. Deselect the radio box for installed add-on.

What Is Gmail - Gmail Definition

Gmail is a name for free webmail service from Google. You can say, its a free email made by Google.

Years ago, you can only open a Gmail account only by invitation from a friend or via sms, where when opening a new Gmail account, you need to wait for a security number for opening new Gmail account.

Now Gmail is open for public, gives you unlimited storatge and smart spam filter. Other than that, you can put some stars on certain email as your important email, or need to read frequently emails. Yahoo Mail use folders to manage stored emails. In Gmail, you only use tags to keep tracks of your emails.

Facebook Hidden Risk

Facebook hidden risk is actually unknown to many Facebook user. When you open up a Facebook account and displays your profile online, other people can copy your personal info and use it for something evil. They maybe can duplicate your profile and do harm to other Facebook user. The effect comes on you, without your consent.

They can use your faked ID to annouce a statement anywhere on the internet. When a lot of people want to know about that statement they will search for it, and found your faked Facebook ID. Again, you will bearing the shame without you doing it. Here's some basic safety guide while using Facebook:

Don't not display all your private information. Put only your name (not a full name), general location, country you online from, your job. Do not display your spouse real name, real house address, your childrens real name or real family name. Be simple but honest.

Display one image only on your Facebook profile. Any internet users and hackers can copy your uploaded images in your profile, your pictures and your face. They can edit it or use it somewhere else.

Set a unique password, combines numbers and letters. Do not use your birthday date or name as password. Hackers can guess your password, because most people use birthday date, their idol name, favorite car or their birth place name as of their password. Set short but unique password. Hackers love to hack for long password!

Gmail Pronounced As Jeemel Or Jeemael

First time when i was new to Google's Gmail - i spell it Gmail name as Jeemel in my daily writings. After i told this discovery to my friend, he spells Gmail as Jeemael, just for fun. Gmail also pronounced as Jeemel in Malay language.

Maybe there is someone out there start use Jeemail accidentally just like i was. I prefer to use Gmail in HTML view, no Google Adsense ads and load faster too.

2009 Norton Anti Virus

Norton anti virus is really a cool anti virus software. Norton has been around for so long and their softwares widely used by million of computers around the world. If you prefers Norton solid protection, make sure your computer always connected to the internet (for Live Update feature to function normally) and your RAM (random access memory) installed more than 512MB.

One thing I didnt like about Norton anti virus is the heavy start up process. when you install the software at the first time, you will experience long waiting time for the installation process to finish. Norton anti virus has so many function to monitor!. Although you get solid rock protection, you will not so comfortable with too much handling on the anti virus setting.

I love simple thing. I love something that is less weight, less design and minimal. Maybe that is why I love to use Avast and AVG anti virus so much! Norton anti virus is not suitable with my personal taste. But, after testing it, it is recommended to you if you prefer some 'luxury' in virus threat protection.

Blogger Definition

A blogger is someone who writes a blog, maintain and promotes it. As long as he writes something on a blog on any blog engines, he is called a blogger or a blog writer/blog owner. A blogger can be part time blogger who prefer to do blogging in spare time as source of fun or also can be professional blogger, someone who do blogging as main source of income and get plenty of money from it.

Blogging is legal, when you follow the rule and play safe. Don't be evil. Write something useful, unique and add value to anyone who comes to read what you're writing on your blog. A blogger is a story teller, an expert, information provider, and news reporter. If you can maintain more than one 7 posts in a day, you're called super blogger. Here's how you can become a blogger:

Set up a blog using Blogger from Google, Wordpress.com, Xanga.com, Live Journal or Friendster blog.
Post regularly and establish your own design and writing style.
Build up readers community. When more and more people come to your blog to read what you write, a readers community formed up automatically. Post regularly to keep your readers happy.
People love a blog that comes with a personality - they know about you and they know your blog.

What Is Facebook - Facebook Definition

Facebook is social media website. Here, when you open a Facebook account and add your profile, other Facebook user will read about you and be friended with you.

Then, you can keep in touch with them by exchanging messages, plays games, answer a quiz, share stories or discuss someting in a Facebook group. Internet users uses Facebook as a web application to connect to someone else, friends, family or anybody from around the world. Facbook also comes in different language option, not jut English. Hopefully Facebook will availabe in Bahasa Malaysia soon.

Facebook is different from Friendster, Myspace or MyBlogLog because Facebook gets a lot of attention first time it was established. Facebook is a lot more simple, yet display less adds. Eventough there is an advertisement, it is not a banner advertisement, but more to imaged text advertisement.

Mozilla firefox - Firefox 3 Help Topics Cant Open When User Offline

Mozilla Firefox doesn't provide offline help section. When i click Firefox Help while offline, there is no help index, or any Help topic to be read offline. To read Firefox Help topics, i need to get connected to the Internet first even after I press F1 on the keyboard.

Honestly I think this is an important feature too much overlooked by Firefox and its developer. Couldn't it be installed Firefox Help topics to be referred when user want to read it offline?

Compared to Internet Explorer 7, Microsoft gets ready a Help section to be read offline only by pressing F1 key when you open Internet Explorer. School teachers can tell more about Internet Explorer 7 to their student in computer class. A first time software user can browse for Help topics when he is away from Internet connection.

All i can say, Internet Explorer understands more about software users. Maybe because of that Internet Explorer still goes ahead of Mozilla Firefox?

How To Open Your Own Wordpress.com Blog

Wordpress.com is a free blogging tool, one of useful web application by Wordpress.

Chat & Mobile Text Messaging In Yahoo Mail Pretty Much Annoying

I was opening my Yahoo Mail account this evening when i've found the chat and mobile messaging future slows down the opening process becuase those two eats up lot of my internet connection. When I click Cancel, the chat still loading.

Looks like Yahoo Mail is following Gmail example, which Gmail has an chat enable feature inside it Gmail user log in to their Gmail account. Gmail uses Google Talk as chat feature, while Yahoo Mail uses Yahoo Messenger chat feature. There is no way to turn off that chat and mobile text messaging in Yahoo Mail. Couldnt it be "turn off chat" button anywhere in Yahoo Mail?

Find Unknown Original Name For Yahoo Mail Back In 1997

In 1997, Yahoo Mail is the new name for Rocketmail after its company bought by Yahoo on March 8, 1997. Rocketmail is the mailing service offered to public by Four11, an online communication company that being acquired by Yahoo.

No wonder why several months ago, Yahoo urget their email users to open a new email address using Rocketmail and Ymail domain. Example for rocket name email address when you open an account is "name@rocketmail.com" or "name@ymail.com".

Friendster Compared FaceBook In Keeping User Memory

Now i understand why people say Friendster is better than Facebook. Yes, facebook has style and it's trendy. But wait, where do we keep comments in Facebook? Looks like Facebook dont have essential feature just like Friendster where your friend, page visitor and family members drop some comments about you.

In Facebook, you can "share" something on a wall, take a few quizzes, and play a few games, it's gone! You can't go back to it easily one year later, or even 6 months later.

Friendster is good because it keeps the memories on the comments section and i really hope that Friendster keeps the comments and don't delete them just even when you haven't logged in for months!

They provide advertising space (125x125 wide) in the front page. The two blog appeared at this time of writing is HongKiat.com and Irenelim.com (malaysian online boutique).

How To Delete Windows Security Alerts In Taskbar Notification Icon

When you start the computer and Windows Security Alerts suddenly appeared, its little bit annoying. Sometime when we start browsing the internet or typing some sentence, the same warning notification appeared. How to delete security alerts from the notification icon? Here's the secret trick.

Click the Windows Security Alerts icon, usually a red shield with an "X" mark. Windows Security Center menu box will automatically appeared. Look at the resource. Find a link titled with "Change the way Security Center alerts me". Click on that link.

Alert setting menu box will appear right after that. Here is the section where you can change the way security center alerts you up. Untick all the button. Why? Even one of the feature turned off, Windows Security Center will not automatically alerting you about it.

Don't worry, it is just alerts. Make sure you do what we recommended. Check your anti virus, either its fully functional and active. Turn on your default windows firewall. Turn off the automatic update (because you have an option to update your Windows manually in spare time during weekends).

If you prefer automatic updates, turn it on but this will slows down computer performance while you browsing the internet, because the updates are being downloaded in the background. You cant see or monitor the download process either. For some computer user, automatic updates is annoying.

How To Get Free Google Chrome In Google Pack Free Software Collection

Whats new for Google Chrome? I've discovered that Google Chrome was being inserted as web browser software in Google Pack - a collection of free software especially selected by Google.

Now you can use free virus scanning tool from Norton (also known as Symantec - the company that made the software) in Google Pack, can be downloaded instantly for free. Norton Security Scan detects, quarantine and remove potential virus threat from your computer.

Google Pack Free Software Collection Almost Lost From The Internet

I tought Google Pack was lost in the internet. I never heard of it and never see the advertisement about Google Pack anywhere - in the news, in the forum or in any Google Adsense advertisements.

Usually when i typed word "software" in Google search box, an advertising bearing the name of Google Pack will automatically appear. Maybe Google has stopped the effort of advertising Google Pack? Or maybe, Google has another plan for Google Pack.

I really love Google Pack. It a complete pack of useful software. I would dare say, Google Pack gives us free and essential software.

But, what i dont like about Google Pack is, when you've want to install it, you need internet connection. Google Pack downloaded in shape of Google Updater, not just executable file. Means, you cannot install any Google Pack software without internet connection, just like my first case installing Google Chrome.

If you dont have an internet connection, you can download each software individually, but it takes more time, effort and more money.

What Is Flurge - Flurge Definition

I dont have any idea where the word flurge came from, maybe from a tv show, a commercial, advertisements or maybe from YouTube, Facebook or any Twitter updates somewhere.

But the word "flurge" has spread widely around the internet. Flurge can be written as flurg, flerge, flerg or also as flerj. They all have the same sound. To me flurge is when you "pluck out" something, for example from your ear, pocket or mouth. Then you can say, "i've flurged my earphone".

We dont recommend iGoogle for computer users with slow dial-up connection or GPRS connection, as long as your internet connection is slow, you cant get real satisfaction while using iGoogle.

iGoogle is suitable if you're a person that love information - fast and easy so that you can use it on your disposal.

Let Us Understand What Is A Software

From what i've come to understand all these yeard as daily computer user, i defined software as a piece of computer program that can do some task. The software was being created to perform a job. while the process of completing the job was controlled by the user.

For example, lets say you want to type an assignment. Your lecturer gives you a question and you must answer in 3 pages. The, the ideal software to perform the job is Word processing software. You can choose variety of software, either you want to use Microsoft Office word 2003, Microsoft Office Word 2007 or Open Office Write.

OK, let me give you a second example. Lets say you want to hear your favorite MP3 song, titled From This Moment sang by Shania Twain. You can choose variety of MP3 players software or any media player software that can play songs in MP3 format.

The best option to choose is playing your favourite song using Windows Media Player 11, the default media player in Windows. Or, you can choose to play your favourite song using Winamp, audio, video and music player.

How to use software? To use a software, decide first what you want to do. Do you want to draw a picture? Play a list of 30 favourite songs? watch a video, type a formal letter to your clients? Or broswing the internet?

If you have already decided what you want to do or knew what your job is, decide which software you want to use to accomplish your job. If you want to open the internet and read your favourite website, then you can use Internet Explorer, Mozilla firefox, Safari, Opera or Google Chrome.

Software is a tool for us to finish our work, to entertain ourself, to learn something new, to educate and to communicate with friends and family.

Real time Protection From Virus Threats Using Free Avast! Antivirus Home Edition

Last year i was using AVG antivirus as my main virus protection software. During 2007 and 2008, i use AVG 7.5 free edition.

Although a new AVG8.0 is finally released, i didnt remove AVG7.5 from my laptop. I still use it and still updating new virus definition every day until February 2009.

At last i've remove AVG7.5 to try AVG8.0 antivirus. I've installed the free edition. But it was unsatisfactory because the antivirus software needs to updated regularly via the internet. The next morning i start my computer, AVG8.0 needs to be updated again. The AVG icon in the taskbar turns to black and gray. I could not shut down the automatic update or turn it to manual update.

Then i've made my mind. After doing some reading and asking some friends, i install Avast! Home Edition. I've known Avast antivirus since 2007 but i've never tried their antivirus software and i've never installed it in my laptop. I went to Avast! website and download the latest home edition. Its free.

The latest edition for Avast is Avast Home Edition 4.8. This is a useful software because it is light and dont have to require much memory while working in the background. It doesnt have be updated regularly, hourly or daily.

Avast Home Edition give you choice to update the antivirus manually or leave the software update on its own automatically. This is the feature i've been looking for! Finally the time comes when i can control the update schedule of my antivirus.

We recomend Avast! Home Edition antivirus for you if you're home computer user. You can also choose to use Avast Home Edition if you prefer less usage of computer memory and faster start up other than any antivirus software.

If someone ask me, which is the best, Norton antivirus or Avast antivirus? My answer, if you prefer faster speed and simple but powerful feature, i will choose Avast antivirus.

My Definition Of Blog And Google Blogger

To me, blog is useful tool to communicate my ideas, my opinions and my view about something. I try not to comment, but to suggest and talk about something new. Its better for us to help someone unserstand something than blame something or complaining something.

Most bloggers out there tend to look down on Google's Blogger because they use self-hosted Wordpress. To me, Google Blogger has its own strength, creadibility and uniqueness. Blogger is the most popular blogging platform in the internet. Why does Google bought Blogger from Pyra Ltd several years ago?

Using Google Blogger gives me freedom. I can change the internet HTML code, tweak the CSS design by adding my own design. Furthermore, i can use handful gadgets to add more fun experience to any of my blog visitor.

People keep saying Google can delete your blog if. You dont have freedom on its content. Yeah, i agree its true. But, if you play safe, play fair, Google will recognize your blog content and salute you for providing helpful, valueable content. Dont be evil, dont do something like an evil.

That is my personal definition of blog.
