Today's computer repair Article
Basic Computer Maintenance

We get asked all the time what things you can do to prolong the life of your system and keep it running in top shape. We have put together a short list of our favorite tips to help you maximize that investment of yours. Use these tips to keep your system cool, running fast, and lasting longer.

I Thought I Saw A Bunny Wabbit

The main enemy of your computer is heat. Heat will destroy a computer given a high enough temperature or a long enough duration. When you machine is nice and new, heat shouldn't be a problem is a well designed system. Well, if it isn't a problem when you bought it, why is it a problem now? The answer are two simple words: dust bunnies

Those pesky dust bunnies will multiply in the sanctity of your computer case like real rabbts in the wild. The dust will build up on the components and cooling fins trapping in heat. Now I know that now self respecting computer stud wants to ask the wife to borrow the dust buster, heaven knows you might get trapped into cleaning something else while you are at it. In our book, the best cleaning is to take the machine outside, remove the side panel, and use a good air compressor or canned air to clean off all of the components. Be sure and use the little straw to get deep into the power supply. More power supplies are lost every year to dust buildup than any other cause. Before putting the cover back on, check all the cards and RAM to make sure it is seated well.

Do The Defrag

When do you defragment your drive? This is an age old question that I will put to rest right here and now. You do NOT need to defragment your drive every day, nor every week, and many people don't need to even do it once a month. It really just depends on how much your use your system. We reecommend a defragmentation about once a month. In an upcoming article, we will actually show you how to automate this process.

Backup

Enough said. If you are not backing up your data on a regular basis, then paint your face, put on a funny wig and a rubber nose and hang out with Bozo, cause a fool you are. Read this sentance carefully: your hardrive will die someday...period. It is only a matter of when. how often should you back up? That depends again, how far back to you want to go when your hard drive dies and all of your data is gone? Every business should be backing up their data monday through friday, preferably with the ability to go back to any day's backup for at least two weeks.

Whose got the power?

One of the most overlooked problems that will reduce a perfectly good computer to a pile of rubble in no time flat is the quality of the power coming into the system. If the power fluctuates up and down even a small amount, it puts a tremendous strain on the power supply to filter it and deliver clean power to the system components. At minimum you want a good surge suppressor. I am not talking about the $2.99 hardware store specials, I am talking about a good quality, brand name (like Belkin) surge suppresor. If you spend less than $20 on it, it is not providing adequate protection. If you really want ensure good quality power to your system, invest in even a small battery backup system. A small UPS will smooth out the power spikes and drops end deliver smooth, consistent power to your system.

Solving Crime with Computer Forensics

Computer Forensics is the scientific study of computers or computer related data in relation to an investigation by a law enforcement agency for use in a court of law. While this technology may be as old as computers themselves, the advances in technology are constantly revising the science of computer forensics.

In the technological old days, computer forensics was mostly related to data dumps, printing out every keystroke that had been logged on a computer in a series of eight digits, all of them zeroes and ones. Literally cases of paper would be used for the printing of the materials. Systems analysts would then have to convert all of the data into hex and then translate the value into whatever the actual keystroke was. In this way, it was possible to go over all of the data and figure out at what point the computer and the corresponding program crashed. Like computers and technology, Computer forensics has evolved by leaps and bounds since those days of old.

While all computer language still ultimately boils down to ones and zeroes or binary and then hex, the means by which programs are created, run and utilized has changed drastically. Computer forensics has done well to keep up with the task at hand. Now hard drives can be wiped clean. However, without an unconditional format (and in rare cases, even with the unconditional switch) the data can still be retrieved. It takes an expert in computer forensics however. It takes someone who is familiar with the technology of the computer and the science of computer forensics to reconstruct all of the data that has been wiped off of the hard drive.

Computer forensics can be used to track emails, instant messaging and just about any other form of computer related communications. This can be necessary, especially in the world today. Computer forensics experts have even advanced the technology to the point that they can track data real time, or while it is actually being sent and received. This is a mind-numbing task when you think about the billions of communications going on around the globe at any given time, but the science of computer forensics is constantly advancing every bit as quickly or sometimes even faster than the technology they are responsible for investigating.

Computer forensics is an interesting aspect of technology that is often overlooked. Computer forensics have been used to solve many crimes and should be considered a viable tool in many ways. The study of computer forensics is constantly growing along with technology.

OnAir GT Hybridizes Computers And TV's

Many people in the computer industry believe that TV- at least in the traditional sense- is dead. While this may be somewhat of an extreme view, it's certainly becoming more common to get TV programming and movies from online sources than it used to be. It's also far more common to watch TV programming, both TV shows and movies, on devices other than a traditional TV (or an HDTV) in the living room. Computers and portable devices, including even some types of mobile phones, are increasingly being used to watch video.

Because of the increase in popularity of watching TV on mobile devices, a whole new genre of gadgets has cropped up that can be plugged into lap top computers and home computers that will allow them to receive TV broadcasts over the air and for their users to watch that programming on their computer screens. One of these gadgets is called the OnAir GT and it's made by AutumnWave.

The OnAir GT has a whole bunch of features that make it, and the computer that it's plugged into, extremely versatile for watching TV. The device itself is pretty much a phenomenally compact USB device that can plug into a Windows based computer and, along with special software that comes with the OnAir GT, display the TV programming on the screen. The OnAir GT can receive both analog and digital programming over the air, and even be used to watch HDTV programming. (Although you presumably need an High Definition computer screen on your computer in order to get the most out of the HDTV programming.)

The device can provide video resolutions ranging from standard definition television all the way up to High Definition resolutions as high as one thousand and eighty horizontal lines of resolution. In addition to getting video from over the air programming, the OnAir GT can also be plugged into a cable jack to receive unencrypted cable TV. As another additional feature, the software that comes with this gadget is capable of turning a computer into a digital video recorder and then playing back the recordings at some point in the future when over the air TV isn't available.

One disadvantage of the OnAir GT is that it's only compatible with Windows based computers. Users of Apple computers and people who insist on using the Linux operating system are pretty much out of luck. That said, this device has an advantage over other similar devices in that it doesn't require that the computer have as much power. For example, the OnAir GT will work with computers with as little as 128 megabytes of RAM and processor speeds as low as 800 megahertz (if it's the right kind of processor). Of course, significantly faster processors and 256 megabytes of RAM are recommended.

The OnAir GT also has variety of user friendly features. For example, it allows you to watch TV as the wallpaper of your computer desktop or capture images from video to use as wallpaper. It's also based on USB technology, so it's compact to transport, easy to plug in, and is completely powered off of the computer that it's plugged into. It also comes with a remote control, so you don't have to be a foot away from the screen to use it.

In all the OnAir GT can add a lot of value to your computer in a location that can receive over the air TV signals.
