Start Your PC in 7 Seconds or Less ?


Yes, with Google Chrome OS that’s possible…imagine it’s as fast as turning on a TV. No longer waiting for computer to boot, loading which take at least 45 seconds up to few minutes (depending on individual PC speed).

Well, what make it possible ? The data and info is stored in memory chips instead of hard disk. As we know based on current hard disk speed, it’s still take a while to fully load the OS and thus contribute to the waiting time when you power up your computer. Memory chip, on the other hand is fast…far more faster as the processor could fetch the info direct bypassing the searching and retrieving process from the hard disk !

Compare to the conventional PC, The Google PC is web-based, meaning you will access the software and application through a dedicated high-speed server via internet. Since that’s the case, you won’t risk losing data as anytime when you lost your netbook, just get a new one and everything is back to normal…and again, you are up and running in 7 seconds or less :)

Well, there is always pros and cons though. You will make sure that your area are highly accessible to the internet. In other words, you will need a stable internet connection. When there is no connection, you can still access to certain data but of course with limitation.

If you interested to get to know more on Google Chome OS, I recommend you to read this article, or news I should say which will open your eyes to this forthcoming technology.

Gate Tower Building – Highway Passes Through The Building


Gate Tower Building is a 16-story office building in Fukushima-ku, Osaka, Japan. And what makes it notable is the highway that passes through the 5th-7th floors of this building.

The highway is part of the Hanshin Expressway, a network (239.3 km) of expressways surrounding Osaka, Kobe and Kyoto, Japan.

The Gate Tower Building is Japan’s first building to have a highway pass through it. And it had been nicknamed  beehive” referring to its appearance as a “bustling place”.

The Umeda Exit of the Ikeda Route of the Hanshin Expressway system passes through this building. The expressway is the tenant of these floors. The elevator doesn’t stop on floor 5th-7th, floor 4 being followed by floor 8.

These floors consist of elevators, stairways, machinery and other stuff. The highway passes through the building as a bridge, held up by supports next to the building making no contact with the building itself.

The building has a double core construction, with a circular cross section and special care is taken by providing surrounded structure to the highway to protect the building from noise and vibration.

Generally expressways are built underground, and passing through a building is an extremely rare occasion. It dates back to 1983, when the redevelopment of this area was decided upon, “building permits were refused because the highway was already being planned to be built over this land.”

The property rights’ holders refused to give up, and negotiated with the Hanshin Expressway corporation for approximately 5 years to reach the current solution.”

Duplicate Content : Do You Make This Costly Mistake ?


Many webmasters, especially Internet marketer nowadays are very concern when it comes to duplicate content. They worried if Google would penalise them due to the non-unique content that appear on their website or blog. This would affect the website to get higher ranking in the Search Engine Result Page (SERPs).

The marketers therefore struggle to get their very own unique content written, while some marketers with spare cash doesn’t mind throwing big chunk of cash into content writing  to the freelancer who can do a great job. The objective is one, to get a totally unique content on their website and avoid duplicate content once-and-for-all.

Well, while what they have done is right but what most webmaster or marketer have forgotten is  that the duplicate factor come directly from their own website or blog. In other words, the content on the website is unique but the site itself is not !From Google point of view, there are multiple similar copy of content appear on the site.

Let see what I mean.

a URL http://www.yourwebsite.com is different from http://yourwebsite.com. Likewise for www.yourwebsite.com or www.yourwebsite.com/

At least Google see them as different page while in fact, the links above are all referring to the same page !

To get a clearer picture and understanding of how you can avoid this costly mistake, let watch the explanation slides by Matt Cutts of Google.

Here are Simple Tips to Protect Your Password


Ever been a victim of password theft? Have your account information been stolen and used by other people to make online transactions? Or have you lost some money due to unsecured passwords? If your answer is yes, read on and discover some simple ways to prevent password theft. For those of you who are lucky enough to be spared by these unscrupulous thieves, be vigilant and consider the following when thinking of a password:

1. Do not use your login name
Sure it is easier to remember when you use your name, birthday or similar information as your key but these are the worst kinds of security for your account. These data are the first things that the criminals will try to use to break your password.

2. Make it long
Each letter, number or character that you put in your password increases your defense against password filchers. If possible use 8 or more characters to guard your information. The maxim ?the longer the better? truly applies in this case.

3. Mix and Match
Feel free to use the whole keyboard in making your password. Use letters, numbers, and symbols or if it is permitted, use space or the shift key to strengthen further your code.

4. Avoid series of letters or numbers
It may look like plain ingenuity to use 12345678 or 7777777 as your secret code but this technique has been cracked by password hackers. Remember the more diverse your code is the stronger protection it will give you.

5. Use different passwords for your multiple accounts
If any of your accounts has been broken, then similar accounts using the same password is at risk. It is imperative that you use different passwords for your accounts.

6. Change your password every 2 months or as you deem necessary
Changing your code regularly will help keep the thieves away. This is an easy yet an effective way to protect your important information.

7. Keep your password to yourself
This is the simplest and the most obvious way to keep your accounts away from harm. But sad to say, many of us have failed to do this. If possible do not write your password but if it cannot be avoided, protect your records and do not leave them lying around for everybody to see.

Our passwords are the first line of defense against computer hackers. It is also the weakest in providing computer security. Password cracking programs continue to improve as you read this. Do your part and protect yourself from these crooks. Be vigilant, check your password(s) now and see if they pass these simple tips.

8 Steps to maintain PC security


YouTube Preview Image

Your personal computer is a common target for intruders and other malicious users because they want to access personal data such as bank account information, credit card numbers or any important data they could find.

Not only can intruders stead your financial information, they could also use your computer resources ? such as hard disk, processor and internet connection ? to attack other users. This way, law enforcement will find it difficult to solve where the attacks are coming from.

To prevent possible identity theft or computer hijack, follow these eight steps in maintaining PC security:

1) Anti-Virus Programs - These programs search and assess the contents of each computer file then removes or destroys ?virus signatures?, which are known to be harmful to your computer.

2) Patch up your System – This process involves fixing the operating system and restoring different functions of your computer. Most computer vendors offer patches that are designed to fix bugs in their products. This process is repeated until the patch fixes the problem completely.

3) Email Attachment Precautions - Most unsolicited items, such as exploding packages or letter bombs, can be sent through your e-mail. Take extra precaution in opening emails to prevent any harm your computer may receive.

4) Firewall Programs - Install and use a firewall program. These programs act as a guard to your computer when looking at network traffic received from or destined for other computers. The firewall program determines if certain traffic should be allowed to continue to its destination or stopped. These programs keep the unwanted out and permit only ?healthy? traffic to enter and leave your computer.

5) Data Backups - It is important that back up your data in your computer?s hard disk, external hard disk drives or any removable media. This ensures each important data will not be harmed when computer problems arise.

6) Strong Passwords - It is important to mix up several numbers, symbols and letters to strengthen password safety. An ideal length of password is around eight or more letters, numbers or symbols.

7) Download and Installation - Be careful in accepting or downloading any material online to prevent virus attacks and computer hijacks.

8) Hardware Firewall - Hardware firewall, which works similarly to firewall programs, stands between your personal computer and the Internet.

Although these steps may seem simple, remember that maintaining computer safety is a continuous process. You cannot perform these tasks once and let your computer be. Get back to each of these steps regularly and check if you need program updates.

Keeping your computer secure is in your hands. Outsmart computer hijackers by reinforcing computer safety precautions.
