It’s The New Cars That Can Learn New Tricks

Japan has long been world renowned for being at the cutting edge of technology and frequently produces innovative concepts that have later filtered down into the mass-markets.Their presence in the car markets have also been very powerful and Japan is renowned for producing high quality, reliable automobiles. It should come as no surprise then to learn that a Japanese auto-tech company has recently been in talks with some of the largest automobile companies in the world, including Ford and Chrysler, to provide their cars with the latest “intelligent” computer systems.

Microchips have been used in automobiles for a long time now, controlling such things as airbags, ABS and traction control among lots of other things.A while ago new technology arrived on the scene that had self-monitoring abilities beyond just being able to tell how much fuel it had left or if a car door was left open. They could now report on tire pressures, chassis forces, multicore cables and even road surface conditions. The company in Japan known as Copal Electronics have taken the micro chip to the next level however and using new electrical components developed a car that can not only look after itself but can learn. If the car is driven around a corner in the wet at 30mph for example, and the rear wheels slide out, the car will note the road surface condition, speed, tire pressures, corning angle, weight of the car and many other factors and then make very subtle changes to things such as the circuit breakers sensitivity so that the same does not happen again.

Because the technology learns as soon as you start driving the car, it will become accustomed to different drivers techniques and habits and will even be able to preempt mistakes, claim the inventors.We may not see it in everyday cars for a few years yet as it needs to be tested fully by manufacturers, but when it does arrive it is sure to make driving a whole lot easier.

More Tips To Keep Your Computer In Shape and Extend It’s Usable Life

Last month I wrote about Spring cleaning for your PC. Since computers are something most people use yet neglect to maintain properly, I figured I’d continue down that track with some more of what I consider the basics.

For restaurants, fast foods, hotels, convenient stores and other retail business owners, maintaining a well-conditioned computer system helps boost the sales. whether you are using the latest restaurant POS equipment or not, computer problems can greatly affect your business’ performance. By following these few simple tips, you’ll be able to keep your business running perfectly all the time.

1. Your Computer Needs Maintenance. As you change the oil of your car, your computer also needs regular maintenance to keep it up and running smoothly and extend the usable life. Tools like disk cleanup, defragmentation, and updating your virus protection files are vital to keep your machine running at its’ best and to small problems before they become really big problems.

2. You Need Virus Protection Software. As I’ve mentioned, month after month, the most important piece of software you should have is an anti-virus program. By now you should probably be aware of the attacks coming from the internet and sneaky infected emails. Anti-virus software will notify you before you open the infected file and release the virus to do damage. One key point to remember is anti-virus software will not repair damage a virus has already done. The anti-virus software also needs to be updated at least once a month so it is “up-to-date” to search for lurking viruses that threaten your system.

3. Never Forget To Backup! I cannot stress the importance of a good backup plan! CDs and DVDs, memory sticks and external USB hard drives are all make good backup media. And once your backup plan is ready, use it regularly!

Your computer will eventually die one day. I kinda hate to tell you this, but it makes no difference how new or old your computer is, it will eventually retire one day. Like any other computers, yours is also a machine that’s expert in calculating, storing and processing data. Sadly, machines don’t last forever.

The files you store on your computer may be priceless and impossible to replace, in other words, can never be bought, trade, or found somewhere esle. Think of all those financial data, contacts in your email address book, digital pictures, recipes, and so on. One day you’ll open your computer wait for it to load and then suddenly gets disappointed because it has already retired! At the same moment you’ll realize how important it is to BACKUP your system. Well, what are your ways to backup all your computer data? We find it surprising that most people don’t even have a backup plan. You’ll never know just how much you have until it’s gone! So if you don’t have a backup yet, better start planning on it.

In the retail industry, like in restaraunts and fast food chains, having a backup is gravely important. Why? Because there are so many business info that needs to be kept for future references, like employee and customer info, data on the products or services of the restaurant, and so on. To be able to effectively track down sales and inventories, a reliable restaurant POS system must be used. And by maintainning your POS systems in good condition is the best way to protect it.

4. Let An Expert Do What They Do Best. If you need a computer service, seek out a trained, qualified technician. Your friends’ son may mean well when he offers to “fix” your problems, but many times the problems become worse. This will cost you a lot of time and money in the end. Remember, your computer system is the ‘heart’ of your business. Trained, qualified technician’s are the experts in their field and has the necessary skills and resources to properly fix your problems in no time and in a low-cost way.

Why is My Computer’s Hard Drive Smaller Than It’s Supposed to Be

hard drive smaller

This article will give you an easy to understand explanation of a computer concept which is confusing to people pretty often. First, I will demystify a couple of easy computer terms it’ll be helpful for you to know.

I’ll also clarify why there seems to be a difference between the size of a computer’s hard disk when you order it, or what is on the label on the drive, and how much its capacity, when you’re actually looking at what it says on the computer screen, why it seems to be smaller.

First, let me define a couple of computer terms. These terms are “erase” and “format.” Both of these terms basically have the same meaning — therefore it’s fine to use them interchangeably.

A hard disk is the part in your computer which actually stores everything, your documents, pictures, music and the critical system files of your computer itself, that could be Windows Vista or Mac OS 10.4 or anything else. Usually, everything that’s saved on a computer will be found on the hard drive.

Hard disks have been measured for years in gigabytes and are already moving into the terabyte range, which is a thousand times larger than a gigabyte.

A byte is basically the smallest unit of measurement for computers (technically, a bit is the one thing smaller than a byte).  A kilobyte is approximately 1,000 bytes. A megabyte is basically 1,000,000 bytes. A gigabyte is just about 1 billion bytes. A terabyte is basically 1 trillion bytes. It’ll go far beyond there but not for a while yet, so forget about that for now.

You might have a machine that is years old. You might think you have a specific amount of storage space on your hard drive based on the label on the computer, or the number on the receipt that you got when you bought the machine.

So if you want to find out how big the drive is. When using a Mac, you can do this by selecting the the hard drive icon, going to the File menu and going to “Get Info.” That will tell you the size or capacity of the drive.

On a Windows computer, you double-click the Computer icon and click once on the hard drive. It’ll generally say what the size of the drive is on the left side of the window.

If you’re not sure how this works, I suggest Windows Vista how to or Apple how to, but specifically video lessons so you can actually see the steps.

Once you know how big the drive is, you’ll find it’s smaller than you think.

This is because of what happens when the drive is first set up for use. “Formatting” or “erasing” is preparing the drive ready for use. Before this happens, the drive is sort of like a house pad before the house is built.

Obviously, you can’t live on a bare house pad since there aren’t any walls or roof. So that’s what happens when you setup a hard disk. You “partition” and format it. You may have heard the word partition as a panel that divides one part of a room from another. A partition is fundamentally the same thing.

When a person partition and format a hard drive, or erasing it, whichever term you prefer, you’re basically making the walls. You begin with the house pad, and then you build the walls and the roof and you get it all ready for use. Until you do that, no one can live in it.

For much the same reason, if you have a hard drive that’s not partitioned and formatted, you can’t put anything there because it doesn’t have any walls or roof.

If you think of erasing or formatting a drive, that is, setting it up for use, as being like raising a house on top of a foundation, you might already begin to guess why a hard drive’s size seems smaller than it should be.

It’s almost as if you’ve lost space when you format it, compared to what the drive says it is if you look at the actual physical drive label, the box it came in or on the outside of the computer that came with that drive inside it. You’ll find it says a bigger number than you seem to have when you checking the drive’s size after it’s been formatted.

So in other words you begin with a house pad that’s a thousand square feet, once you put up the walls, you don’t have 1,000 square feet left any more, not in actual, usable space. You’ve got some of the space taken up by the walls.

Basically , that’s what happens when you setup a disk. It gets partitioned and formatted and ready to use. In that process, it loses a little bit of that space. You’ll probably find it’s a pretty good way to think of it, and it helps people understand.

I hope that makes sense. Many of my clients have asked about it that’s how I explain it to them, and it seems to make sense to them. I hope that makes some sense for you, too.
