Go the simple way- Stop Overburdening your system with Freebie
Did you know thatmost of these offers are not that free? You end up paying for it with your time and system crashes and hangs!
Clicking a download link on the net is the easiest thing to do while on the Web especially if it is tagged Free. Most people click the banners and images just because they are free, while some other people click by being misled by the crooked web malware makers, in the guise that the links are the download portals of the software the web user is looking for.
I am very aware that you may need to do some operation in your computer system that your current operating system platform does not provide and has to be done by special third party programs. Inasmuch as that is true, many people overlook what their operating systems can provide and quickly think on their feet and run to the web to look for solutions, only to get the BIGGEST surprise—>Download it Here FREE!!
Before you make such attempts to download freebie software from the web, be sure to note that they are potential problems that could cause harm to your computer system(I am sure you have heard this time and again, just reminding you). Moreover,every program you install on your PC affects the computer’s performance and stability whether you use the app regularly, rarely, or not at all. Dennis O’Reilly of CNET bares this witness in his post-Do you really need that Free download? and says that evry timr you download a program, your are certailny giving way to potentiall illicit code that is sneaking into your system. They end up taking a lot of RAM space and overburdens the CPU usage, that can often get your system slowing down considerably.
Wonderful AI intervention in the best Sci-Fic Movies
Incorporation into the human brain, amazing!
It is really amazing how science fiction movie producers are incorporate so many amazing acts in their movies. Some of them look completely real while some kind off go off the road I must say.
I have been watching the Series called Knight Rider, with Justin Bruening as the starring, featuring Paul Campbell, Smith Cho, and others.
I must say I was impressed by the application of Artificial Intelligence that was used to make the Car, called KITT. If you have watched this movie, then I very well think you know what I am talking about.

Kitt can go into attack mode that equips it with high speed capabilities, can go incognito in case being followed by people who have previously noted its look.

With the highly advancing world of smartphone technology, the world is continually building so many words that end wit the suffix -less. Look at wire-less, cash-less, paper-less, all these words depict the release of certain technologies that make it possible to carry out essential activities with less of a hustle.
Now we have another in the vicinity-> Keyless. This is not that much a new idea in technology but I have to say it is a brandy-refab of an idea earlier thought of by some people.

I am a new blogger,what do I blog about?
This is a question that rocks the mind of many new bloggers who maybe heard that their friends go blogging every day and in some case benefit a lot from it. It is very true that blogging can be very easy but it will also prove very tricky when you are unable to figure out what you want to publish on your blog. This mistake of bloggers not asking themselves this question has cost many bloggers a give-up on their blogs even after buying beautiful domains and hosting packages.
Knowing what you want to publish on your blog should be one of the preliminary steps of your blogging journey. Everything has to be carried out in steps and blogging is not an exception. So basically before you go buying domain names, you should have already in mind what you will be talking about so that you are able to choose a suitable domain for your blog.
This is often called the blogging niche or blog topic that you want to pursue. Obviously you have to talk about something that will reflect what you really formed the blog for.
What to consider when choosing your Blog topic/Niche?
There are quite a number of factors that will lead you to some given niche, and you really have tom make sure that before deciding, you have considered them all.
1. Choose a niche that you have personal interest in.
Just as I have always stated in my earlier posts, blogging is not an easy task. Blogging requires dedication, extensive reading, analysis, conclusion making and most of all is really time consuming. Choosing a topic that you are not personally interested in will lead to boredom that could easily take you off your enthusiasm. If you choose something that you really love and is comfortable talking about, it is probable that you could spend any amount of effort for it.
2. Is the niche going to be specific, or quite general?
This is yet another important factor. The broadness of your topic increases your target group and that translates to more visitor. However, you have to know that it is almost impossible to focus on every nighty gritty of your blogging niche. You will choose only a few aspects that you major in so that your blog will be an encyclopedia of the niche.
3. Can you easily advertise the niche?
Again for your blog to gain much popularity it is necessary that you advertise it in different ways, on other blogs and websites, social sites, and even by email to your subscribers. Your topic should be capable of being expresses in a single line of words and should also be able to be summarized by a single flash image. This ease your advertising activities and allows you to expand your listener base.
4. Are you able to counter your competitors.
As you start your blogging expedition, you will need to know which blogs talk about the same topic as you and it is a good idea to obtain links with them so that you are able to build a circle of links. Like in any competition, you will need to be able to compete effectively in the niche in order to reach the top and eventually stay there. You should learn the strategies and policies of the other bloggers in your niche. In this way, you will gain the necessary skills to do better.
5. What is your target group?
This factor will give you the necessary information on your writing style, voice, the kind of design, and ultimately what kind of content to include in your blog. You can be targeting the youth, who are idly spending all their time on social network of newsreaders who want to read any news updates. This doesn’t matter, as long as you know who you are dealing with.
Conclusion
Determination of the niche that your blog is based on is like knowing the measurements of window pane in order to cut the correct glass for it. You cannot do without it,or well you could but will not get where you wanna get to.
Did you consider these factors when staring your blog? How hard has it been if you didn’t or how has it helped if you did consider these. Let me know in the comments section.
Help thwart Internet and Blog spam- You need to make a step, CAPTCHA
Since I came up with this blog, I have received a number of comment scam in my posts. At first, I thought the
y were some real people who were concerned about congratulating me on my work. Actually I do not get any money currently from my blog and all that I do is merely for my love of the blogging issue. I for sometime considered these comments genuine since I saw well formed emails, considerably sincere names and quite interesting search websites embedded on the comments.
Your security and reputation compromised by social network scam and insecurity
I have had friends whose reputation is really soiled through hacking of their accounts of Facebook,Twitter, and many other social sites, by malicious individuals who are in most cases claim to be their friends. This actually lets me accept that these social sites are just where one asks to be your friend and the following day, they walk past you in the streets, meaning, they appear like total strangers.
Preventing yourself from such hacking and social site scam like the famous on on Twitter that say, “Have you checked this blog that says bad things about you” or at times “You Seen What This Person is Saying About You Terrible Things.” You may want to know how some of these things work in order to prevent yourself from them.
Twitter.
Starting with the twitter DM scam of “somebody is saying really bad rumors about you,” this scam has attacked twitter users most often(even myself) and is sent through the direct messages section of your twitter account. This scam has affected several users who go on to click on the accompanying link and then entering their Twitter username and password on the phishing website.
The accompanying link is always after this statement:
Hi. somebody is saying real bad rumors about you here: <link>
You need to be very careful here sine the resulting phishing website is made to look almost exactly as twitter and the link too is also very similar if not looked at carefully(twititer.com —>instead of twitter.com):
This is what this website does: It asks you to enter your username and password and then redirects you to install an app on Twitter which in turn sends out such scam messages to all your followers. And in that way, it stays viral since at least 50 followers will dare click the link to actually find out “who is spreading bad rumors about them.”
As part of securing yourself, it is advisable not to at any time click these links or log on the phishing site using your twitter credentials.
To avoid such attacks, you should also often check the list of application that you have given access to your information on twitter. This will help you remove the unwanted ones, or those that you do not recognize and those you suspect may be malicious.To do this, follow the below simple steps:
1. Log on to your account and click the settings link at the top.
2. In the settings page click on the connections tab to view all the applications that have access to your account.
3. Click on the revoke access links for the application you want to remove permission for.
Facebook.
Secondly your accounts including Facebook accounts and twitter accounts could be hacked or primarily accessed by unauthorized people and you will not want to know that at times it is because of your own “laziness” or assumption. I check into a cyber cafe and log onto Facebook. Actually there is no point of not LOGGING OUT when I am through with checking my activities on Facebook. When you don’t log out and somebody comes after you,that person will get automatic access to your account and can decide to post useless things on your wall, or on pages and/or groups.
Usually there is an option of “Remember my password” on the log on screen and please do not check this option if you are not using a trusted device to access your various social accounts. Clicking this option and clicking “Yes” to browser prompts to save passwords may leave your account at risk and consequentially your reputation.
It is very true that social networks have actually revolutionized the internet and are in the front line of the Web 2.0 movement. Facebook is one of the sites that are leading in this field. It has incorporated other people to tap the resources of the fast growing social networking platform by the use of user defined apps(short from of applications) that Facebook users subscribe to. The developers of these apps generally have different intents and reasons for building them among which are; for shear fun and enjoyment and to collect information to use in beneficial advertising strategies. You will not get surprised that some of the same developers develop the apps to spread malicious scam and cause havoc on the social website.
For apps to work on your profiles, they need to root some of your information . Earlier Facebook apps were much into this and collected much over the information they would need for functionality but this has since been controlled by Facebook’s privacy policies that enables users to choose which of their details remains private.
In your interaction with an application on Facebook, there are certain indications of scam such as request of user passwords and credit card information. Such data are collected by the apps and used by scampers to take advantages of the victims. Some apps also try to redirect or link you to a new page that you might not be aware of and that is not part of the associating application. Pay attention to such URLs as they are deemed to be containing malicious programs and files that might auto-download into your device. Check out our post on computer virus.
It is a good thing to always make your safety in the social sites a priority and do not allow yourself to be taken advantage of and your reputation soiled. Always observe the above security routines and be watchful and careful.
New Maps for iOS, Apple dropping Google Maps.
All along, Apple has been in contract partnership with Google over the Google maps app but recently until the year 2011, the contract somehow became a year-to- year thing and this happened because there was something boiling in Apple’s pot. Apple is going to introduce its own version of iOS. The new maps app is a personal propriety software that belongs to apply and sources say that new Maps app will debut with iOS 6 with an Apple-created backed that will resemble the current Maps app, but with a more amenable solution.
The new iOS maps is going to be released in a couple of months and will probably come with the iOS 6.
This step taken is not actually any big surprise since several steps had shown this trend and it could be foreseen through Apple’s struggles especially when the came up with the iOS version of iPhoto debuted in March, Apple was using older OpenStreetMap data instead of Google. This was most likely a testing ground to see how their own maps would function before pushing it out to a wider audience with a major iOS release. The iPhoto however does not mach the current full featured app, as the iPhoto did not look very nice and appeared scanty.
In fact consumers who were keen could note that the matter was not whether Apple was gonna drop Google Maps App but the question has actually bee, “When is this going to happen.” It started in 2009 when when Apple bought Placebase.
The limitation that is bound to come with the iOS maps is that it lacks certain premium capabilities that are provided to Android users that include solid integration with voice control. However, it is visualized to be more actively used by most people who are Apple addicts(not in a bad way- just your taste, fashion and preference) and would want to use only apple products all their lives.
That is what is going around the iPhone news and technologies.
