What Is WiFi? - 0 views

  • You might have WiFi in your house, and it might be your Internet connection, but do you understand how it works? google_ad_channel='20'; google_ad_client='pub-3619764495662405'; google_ad_output='js'; google_ad_type='text'; google_max_num_ads='1'; WiFi Is a Wireless NetworkWiFi stands for wireless fidelity. It is a wireless network that uses radio waves to operate, similar to a radio or a cell phone. The communication that occurs across this wireless network can be broken down into two basic steps:
  • Networking StandardsWiFi radios use 802.11 networking standards, and there are a variety of different standards that fall into this category.
  • WiFi Frequency BandsWiFi radios also transmit on a possibility of three different frequency bands. To reduce interference, WiFi radios can also jump between these three frequencies, and thus several devices can use the same wireless connection at the same time. This is how more than one computer in your household is able to be on the Internet simultaneously.

  • WiFi Is a Wireless NetworkWiFi stands for wireless fidelity. It is a wireless network that uses radio waves to operate, similar to a radio or a cell phone. The communication that occurs across this wireless network can be broken down into two basic steps:The computer’s wireless adapter translates data into a radio signal and transmits it through an antenna.The wireless router receives this signal and decodes it, sending the information to the Internet through an Ethernet cord and connection.Alternatively, the process is reversible and information can be sent back across the Ethernet connection to your router, and thus to your personal computer. As it does this, the information is translated back into radio signal.

HowStuffWorks "10 Ways to Break Into a House" - 0 views

    "When we think of a burglar, we think of a stereotypical ski-masked man dressed head to toe in black, crouched down, creeping in the dead of night, carrying a professional break-in artist's ideal toolkit. As common a culprit, however, is the average-looking person dressed in average street clothes on your average workday, entering via an unlocked door or a brick-induced hole in a glass door."

Creating Kick-Ass Passwords | Should I Change My Password? - 9 views

  •  
    "Creating long, secure passwords can be extremely difficult, especially when you have multiple accounts and have to remember them all. It's no wonder that we end up writing them down, or using the same password again and again. This is however, a terrible habit to get in to." (Creating (and remembering) Great Passwords, ¶1) To help online site and tool users do a better job of password protecting their accounts, ShouldIChangeMyPassword (the Avalanche Technology Group) recommends: Padding, Passphrases, Formulas, and Password Managers.

Brain Development in a Hyper-Tech World - Dana Foundation - 4 views

  •  
    The information explosion brought about by the Internet and other modern technological tools has undeniably had positive influences on society. "These are enabling technologies," said Friedlander. "I think their greatest power lies in their ability to enable people to reach out to a world that is much greater than what any child is likely to get in their home or school environment. That's all good and positive." The trick, he said, is knowing where to draw the line. "It gets down to a quantitative question: how much is too much? That's where the rubber really meets the road for most people, and that is a really tough question to answer." The responsibility for making such decisions often falls on parents, but they may not be equipped, able, or willing to do so. "We always hear the same thing, that it's up to parents to control the use of these things and teach kids how to manage it all," said Grafman. "But in order for them to do this, they have to understand better themselves what they are creating with their children. Many parents today just say, 'here's your computer, put it in your room and do your homework on it,' and that's the last they see of the kid. If that's the case, how much are kids going to listen?"

Travel Agent Kashmir - 0 views

  •  
    Kashmir is a land where myriad holiday ideas take shape. In winter, when snow carpets the mountains, skiing, tobogganing, sled-riding are popular sports. In spring and summer, the honey-dewed orchards, rippling lakes and blue skies beckon every soul to sample the many delights the mountains and valleys have to offer. Golf at 3,000 meters above the sea, water-skiing, sailing and angling for prized rainbow trout or simply drift into dreams down the willow fringed alleys of lakes in gorgeous houseboats. The possibilities are endless.

Attune your Windows 8 to your Adobe Photoshop CS3 - 0 views

  •  
    You must have heard much of bad about Windows 8, for not being compatible with many routine applications. This common word of mouth has, to some extent, brought down the ratings of this operating system. When Windows 8 hit the market, just like many other applications, Adobe Photoshop was unable to adjust itself in a renewed environment.
