Everything from a tiny needle to highly advance space technology is done through numberless and complex machinery.

<title>How to Optimize Your Laptop for Longer Life and Usage</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Computers/How-to-Optimize-Your-Laptop-for-Longer-Life-and-Usage.243065</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Why buy a new laptop and replace a new one when you can preserve and extend the life of your current laptop? Yes, there are speicific ways of extending the life of your electronic gadgets, appliances and equipment, and the laptop is no exception. Many people waste needless amounts of money spent on replacing electronic gadgets which could have lived longer.</p>
<h3>Invest in Anti-Virus Software</h3>
<p>Don't ever consider this as a waste of money, or don't get annoyed with the repetitious anti-virus software updates. This is the single most effective way of protecting your computer. Whenever you insert a USB drive, or go online, read an email, open a website etc., you are making your computer vulnerable to virus invasions. That's why it's important to keep your anti-virus software updated and your firewall always up. Don't overlook this.</p>
<h3>Buy A Cooling Pad For Your Laptop</h3>
<p>A cooling pad is a special gadget that you place under your laptop and it does just that -- cool your laptop. It is common knowledge that user electronics perform lesser and lesser when you frequently let them go overheat. With a cooling pad, you can keep your laptop cool and fully functional at all times.</p>
<h3>Don't Just Install Any Software Just Because It's Free</h3>
<p>There's lots of freeware and shareware online. These are types of software that you can download for free, or use a 7-Day Trial with. The problem with these types of downloadable programs is that lots of them contain malicious scripts, backdoor Trojans, worms, tracking cookies, and malware. All those terms mean one thing: Danger for your computer. Sometimes, these sneaky bugs and tracking scripts can steal your credit card information!<br /></p>
<h3>Unless You Have Sufficient Technical Knowledge, Leave Hardware Installation To The Experts</h3>
<p>Don't try to reinstall hard drives, tweak the motherboard, or replace sound cards and video cards UNLESS you are confident that you know what you're doing. Don't take risks here. You can always solicit the help and opinion of Bill the Computer Whiz and Sam the Chip Master from next door. Or better yet, have your computer 'tampered' by a legitimate technical personnel from the computer shop.</p>
<h3>Perform a Disk Clean Up And Defragmentation At Least Once Every Month</h3>
<p>Disk clean up and defragmentation are all available options from your Windows Control Panel. Make sure you use these disk checking tools at least once each month so your computer can fix disk software errors. Usually, the computer will figure out what's wrong on its own. Disk clean up will delete unneeded 'cookies' and temporary files from your computer. Defragmentation, meanwhile, will rearrange file allocations and caches in your hard disk. Best of all, don't try to figure all of these things out. Just do it.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FHow-to-Optimize-Your-Laptop-for-Longer-Life-and-Usage.243065"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FComputers%2FHow-to-Optimize-Your-Laptop-for-Longer-Life-and-Usage.243065" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Voip Setup Process</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Communication-&amp;-Networks/Voip-Setup-Process.137187</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<h3>VoIP Setup Process</h3>
 
<p>The following is a simple summary of the step by step ways of setting up VoIP system on the clients.</p>
 <ol> 
<li> Assuming that the client already agrees with the terms and conditions of the products we're going to serve them, the initial procedure for the setup is to ask the client for their network connection. As the client says &amp;ldquo;yes&amp;rdquo; that they have a network or internet connection, you can now ready to install the system or configure the equipment, otherwise you can't able to start the setup. </li>
 
<li> With their PC that they were going to use as a server, install the Trixbox software. The Trixbox software contains a package program such as the asterisk billing, call records, meetme setup, and Linux CentOS operating system. </li>
 
<li> After the successful installation of the software, log-in to the server's software using the specified or assigned username with password</li>
 
<li> Upon logging in, quickly update the server using the designated command and wait for a number of minutes for the successful updates</li>
 
<li> With the command "help-trixbox", you can view the list of commands that you can use to manipulate the system and the corresponding username and password of some of the programs included in the system. </li>
 
<li> Immediately, change the password of some of the access to trixbox like the maint, meetme, recording, seudo, and others to be able for you to access the system even on the other computers provided that they have an internet connection</li>
 
<li> Now that the appropriate process had been done for the server to run using the Trixbox, you can now access the server on the internet using its IP address through the http protocol. </li>
 
<li> After you had accessed the server on the internet, always switch to admin mode rather than the user mode for you to perform the necessary task. Before you could reach the controls and administration to the system, the windows will ask you for the username and password. With maint as the username and with your assigned password, you could reach the controls and administration to the server as well as the creation of locals and trunklines that you would assigned to the VoIP. </li>
 
<li> With the "Setup" button, click on "Add Extension" and follow the corresponding configuration to assigned local numbers to your VoIP Set-up. </li>
 
<li> With the 'Panel' button, you can view the registered locals on your server. You can also view from this feature the actions taken by the user such as making calls, incoming and outgoing calls, status of the phones, etc. </li>
 
<li> Now that you already successfully assigned local numbers for the VoIP phones that the client would use, you are now ready to configure the equipments</li>
 
<li> Before you could configure the equipments, be sure that you already know the IP Address of the VoiP equipments. The IP Address of the VoIP phones could be known either of the two methods. One by accessing it to your PC by connecting a LAN port from the equipment to your computer and second by just pressing it to the menu list on the phones. </li>
 
<li> Now that you already know the IP Address of the equipments, you can now access it to the internet by typing its IP on the URL preceded by the http protocol. </li>
 
<li> As you have accessed the IP of the equipments, log in using the specified username and default password to be able for you to have the full access and control administration to the equipments</li>
 
<li> Perform the necessary configuration</li>
 
<li> After the successful confirmed of configuration, the server would show the connected locals of the system. The equipment itself would also confirm that booting successful! </li>
 
<li> You are now ready to make calls with your equipments and servers properly installed and connected</li>
 
<li> Note that always make sure that your server is always turn on and it has an internet connection</li>
 
<li> Your server using Trixbox could be access in any of your computer through the Internet provided that they shared the same provider as well as the equipments</li>
 </ol>

<title>Pimp Your Computer - 10 Awesome USB Gadgets</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Hardware/Accessories/Pimp-Your-Computer---10-Awesome-USB-Gadgets.127016</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>USB stands for Universal Serial Bus. USB ports are used a lot these days, for connecting your mouse, keypad, external HD, etcetera. Those things are quite useful, but not very special. Here's a list of 10 awesome USB gadgets that will pimp you computer!</p>
 <ol> 
<li> 
<h3>Wireless PC Lock<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_1.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 This is a great protection against people trying to break in your computer whilst you are gone. You first plug the USB-stick-like wireless receiver in you desktop or laptop, and then place a small badge in your pocket. If you and your badge move further than 2 meters away from your computer, it will be locked. Each piece has its own security code so one computer can only be locked by one badge. I'm sorry to say this kids, but this USB gadget is also useful for parents who don't like their children being at the computer all the time.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;7,99 - &amp;euro;10 - $15 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Vacu&amp;uuml;m Cleaner<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_2.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 It's true - the keyboard you're sitting at right now, is the dirtiest spot in your whole house. This USB vacuum cleaner is a great solution for all that. It can easily keep your keyboard clean of crumbles and dust. It is also equipped with two brushes, one for general cleaning and one for cleaning between and underneath your keyboard. Also has two power levels.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;7,99 - &amp;euro;10 - $15 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Air Darts<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_3.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 Have some annoying colleagues in your office? This USB air dart launcher is a great solution. Just plug the launcher in you computer and load it with the three harmless soft foam rockets. Next you aim with your mouse and click to fire. The launcher pans 180 degrees and can tilt up to 45 degrees.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;19,75 - &amp;euro;25 - $38 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Pencil Sharpener<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_4.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 Tired of sharpening you pencils manually? Got some free USB ports? Then this is the gadget for you! Once plugged in, this device sharpens your pencils. Once your pencil is sharp, a LED will flash to alert you. The sharpener is equipped with a tray that can easily be removed for cleaning.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;6,99 - &amp;euro;9 - $14 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Aquarium<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_5.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 This aquarium is the home to two small (fake) fishes. As the power from your USB port generates a current in the water, the fish will start to swim around. It's also equipped with a blue LED that lights the tank. Both the current and the LED can be switched off. The aquarium contains about half a litre of water.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;6,99 - &amp;euro;9 - $14 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Mini Fan<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_6.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 Having a hot day at your office? Bad air-conditioning? Here's a great solution! This USB-powered mini fan will serve you all the cooling you need. It has a flexible neck for easy positioning, soft blades that can't cause any injury and a silent motor so neither you or your colleagues are disturbed. But you can still laugh at them because you're cool and they aren't.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;6,99 - &amp;euro;9 - $14 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Fridge<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_7.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 This mini fridge is a great addition to the mini fan. Where the mini fan keeps you cool, the mini fridge keeps your drink cool. It only takes five minutes to cool your beer to a temperature of 54&amp;deg;F/12&amp;deg;C. The fridge is about 20 centimetres high and is connected to your USB port by a 2 meter-cable, so you can place the fridge under your table.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;12,95 - &amp;euro;16 - $25 </li>

 You have seen a fridge that keeps your drink cool when the day is hot. But what if it's freezing, and you want to keep your coffee hot? Just plug this cup warmer in, place your cup right on top of it and it will be heated up to 120&amp;deg;F/50&amp;deg;C. There is also a LED light showing you whether the warmer is switched on or off and just like the fridge there's a nice long USB cable.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;5,99 - &amp;euro;7 - $12 </li>
 
<li> 
<h3>Paper Shredder<br /><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2008/05/19/165877_10.jpg" alt="" /><br /></h3>
 Have a desperate need to get rid of personal papers or just garbage? This paper shredder can shred papers up to the A6 size, which is equal to two A4 placed next to each other. Your papers are shredded into long pieces of about 3.5 millimetres wide. There's also a reverse switch for when you suddenly realise that you still need the paper you're having shredded.<br /><br /> Price: &amp;pound;10,99 - &amp;euro;14 - $21</li>

<title>Cool Apple Gadget Ideas</title>
<link>http://www.computersight.com/Operating-Systems/Mac-OS/Cool-Apple-Gadget-Ideas.104947</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>What do you think will come next in Apple's line of amazing gadgets and gizmo's?  Some cool inventions and kid friendly products would be nice.  What about a car?  Well according to mac-life magazine (which this is from but not directly copied) they have came up with some cool new inventions that Apple should be creating.</p>
 
<p>To start out with, do you trust your kids with your 2,000 dollar Macbook pro or other expensive computers.  Well, this product is just for your kid(s). The Squidget as they call it is a full computer just in a smaller package.  Even smaller then the Macbook Air!  This circular shaped computer screen is a larger version of the iPhone or touch.  Your kids can enjoy talking to their friends with the chat system and surf the internet at the same time.  Some other cool features this amazing Squidget has is some integrated programs like Games, address book, <a href="http://www.itunes.com" target="_blank">iTunes</a> music store, calendar, <a href="http://www.youtube.com" target="_blank">YouTube</a>, Photos, and much more.  They can even personalize how their Squidget looks with it's setting feature.</p>
 
<p>With a diameter of 2.2 inches and smaller then the iPhone it can fit mostly anywhere like in a pocket or on a neckless.  It's touch screen capability is a must for on the go users and is easy to keep clean.  Would you like a Squidget for your kids or still let them play around with your Mac Pro erasing everything?</p>
 
<p>Another cool invention that I personality would use is a Apple Camera.  In the shape of the iPhone but has a bigger lens on the backside of it.  This amazing camera could do mostly everything, like take pictures and shoot video.  You could even plug it into your dock station uploading the pictures to your computer and at the same time charge it!  You can take your photos directly on your camera and edit them with the built in photo editing software for on the go!</p>
 
<p>With a 12GB built in flash memory you can record all of your memories at any time.  Why go ahead and record them in HD!  Maclife said that the price they would put on it is around 499.  I think this is a great price that includes everything you need without having a computer.  Only one con about this is the optical zoom.  Apple would most likely want the lens with the metal casing so it would be around 3x optical zoom.</p>
 
<p>Ok, think of this. You are walking in a parking garage at night heading home from the mall.  All of a sudden you see something lurking in the shadows against the wall.  You try to get to your car as fast as you can thinking "what am I going to do if this thing comes up to me".  Are you going to bust out your black belt and chop the person in half?  Or how about pulling a trick by looking like you are calling the police but do not have the nerve?  Well this is where the new gadget comes in handy!   The iProtection is the best thing I have ever seen!  Some of the features this has is a LED flashlight, and an Alarm to scare off your attacker.  Some of the coolest things though on this little flashlight that blew me away was a stun gun built into it and a GPS locater where is you are hurt you just have to push one button and help is on the way.  I am not going to spend much time on this one but I think this would be great for everyone to have.  Not to consider that people will just me tazzing each other all the time which mught get Apple sued because of a death by someone getting shocked.  I do not think this will be coming out the coming years but maybe latter when people have some respect not to just shock people all the time!</p>
 
<p>Again I have gotten a lot of this from Mac-Life Magazine but none of it has been copied directly.  I have put this all into my own words just so nobody will get mad.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FMac-OS%2FCool-Apple-Gadget-Ideas.104947"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FOperating-Systems%2FMac-OS%2FCool-Apple-Gadget-Ideas.104947" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[<p>You guys may not agree with the selection of these random USB Devices but here are the top five (in my book) </p>

<h3>#5 USB Hand Warmers </h3>

<p>I will get straight to the point, these are a bit bulky and somewhat ugly but hew if you need your hands warm why not! If you don't exactly want to carry around a pair of these ugly things I suggest getting a Core Duo and letting your hands rest on that. They retail for around $22(US dollars). </p>

<h3>#4 USB Dog Tag </h3>

<p>No its not the engraved one that you where around your neck but this one is actually for your dog. This can hold 512mb worth of info. This was meant to provide your friends/family/babysitter with info about feeding habits and shot records but why not back up <em>your </em>important files. With the cost of $40(US Dollars) I think I would just make my own. </p>

<h3>#3 USB Disco Ball </h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2007/08/14/16483_3.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>These nifty things are cool, they aren't the standard mirror balls but light bulb lit spinning colored sphere. Who knows when this thing will come in handy when your friend shows you his 10gb thumb drive, just whip this out and watch him drool. With a price tag of $19.99(US Dollars) I would take this over the hand warmers any day. </p>

<h3>#2 USB Flower Pot Speaker </h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2007/08/14/16483_4.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>I don't exactly see the need for USB here but hey, if they didn't it wouldn't be on this list. I think they should sell them in sets of two (for stereo) or six (for 5.1 surround). They retail for $59(US Dollars) </p>

<h3>#1 USB Air darts </h3>
<p><img src="http://images.stanzapub.com/readers/computersight/2007/08/14/16483_5.jpg" alt=""></p>
<p>Although not lethal these little missiles have a firing range of 5 to 8 feet . It comes with a program to allow you to control the pan/tilt of these little turrets. These are meant to run on Windows XP or Windows 2000 but don't worry, there are already hacks to run it on your Mac and Linux computer. These things are $40(US Dollars), just imagine the fun you can have around the office! </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FHardware%2FPeripherals%2FTop-5-USB-Gadgets.39755"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.computersight.com%2FHardware%2FPeripherals%2FTop-5-USB-Gadgets.39755" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
