Importance of having security on your phone

posted on 29 December 2011

Computer security is very important. This is something that I have learned the hard way. My brother and I are twins and to say the truth without any business he is the trouble maker of the house. He has friends who are equally trouble, when I see them together I always anticipate for some kind of trouble to follow shortly afterward and my mother knows this too but there is nothing that she can do because that is just how he is. Though he always gets punished all the time and that works for a short while then he gets back to his old routine of getting in to trouble. The other day, his friends were downloading pictures of some celebrities and one of the picture files had a virus that crashed his computer. I knew that he would want to use my computer so I activated the admin password. He sneaked in to my room and when he tried using it, and he kept on being prompted for a password. So he decided to guess a lot of possible passwords but nothing worked. So he opted for the part of i forgot my xp admin password, he was trying to pretend that he was me. He could not reset the password because he did not have the disc for password reset.

posted on 4 December 2011

The one thing that is interesting about human beings is that they like to be identified with their property, which is why they find it essential to name their things using certain identification letters which they like to be identified with by their friend as well as o0ther people. I am one person who loves to give my gadgets certain names which will make them be identified with me, if I decide to name my mobile phone after my name, I would do just that and make sure everybody else does the same. I just bought my ipod recently and am wondering: How do i name my ipod so that it can be identified with me. Should I give it the name of a person or just a cute name identifiable in gadgets like these? I prefer being unique and since the common ipod names are already in use, I would not mind calling it after my petts name since it is one thing that I hold very close to my heart. Get to know that being like this does not make you a weird person, I fact it makes you appear to be someone who appreciates their personality and would not trade if for anything at all.

Creating Uniform Security Codes for Online Accounts

posted on 22 November 2011

I was chatting with my friend at London through facebook. We do this every week to be updated with each other’s statuses. She then suggested that we should try chatting through skype, which offers more features. I remembered making my own account but i forgot my skype password. According to her, the nicer thing about skype is that you can do video chatting without interruption. Compared to facebook, you can’t do video chatting, and in yahoo, you get to be interrupted most of the time. I guess it’s because there are already a number of people using it and it has a lot of features that can be used at once. To try her suggestion, I made another skype account and this time, I made sure that I will remember my password. I am not fond of making a lot of accounts online because I tend to forget my security codes. This time, my skype password is just the same with my facebook and email account password so that I won’t forget it anymore somehow this will help me remember my security codes.

The anxiety that comes with owning a smart phone

posted on 10 November 2011

There is a lot of excitement when someone is about to get a phone that is supposed to be way better than the phones that they posses right now. I should know this because I just got my new blackberry. This being the first smart phone that I am owning and to say the truth it is a good feeling. My previous phone was not a smart phone, so you can imagine how the new features of the black berry was exiting me. The camera was the one thing that caught my eye. My previous phone could not take very good and clear pictures but the black berry could be and it was amazing. Then there is the part of the music. I put all my favorite music in their and it was a really exiting thing. So when I was setting up the phone, I did so many things that when turned it on again, it prompted me for a password and since i forgot my username for my blackberry I had to reset the whole thing again. Resetting the password was not hard because I knew my email very well and I got all my updates from the email.

posted on 14 October 2011

At times when things happen in our lives, we worry more than it is necessary and end up wasting time that we could have used in doing something more productive. Some of the things we worry about are beyond our control and therefore it does not make sense at all to go days on end worrying about the weather. You may want to do something that will be more productive with your time. When it comes to the calls you get, some may be from good people while others could be from a person who is planning to do you harm. It is good to know that there is a time to be curious about a caller. This will depend on the content of the conversation you have with them when they call. You may want to find who called if they called and hurled insults or threats to you and when you wanted to find out who they are, it was not possible. At this point you need to be careful and make sure that you report to police who will help you out.

How skype improves communication amongst people who are not in the same place

posted on 5 October 2011

Many people use Skype these days. It is becoming a very popular mode of communication. All sorts of people use Skype to communicate on regular basis. My mother started using Skype a lot when my sister and I went to study abroad. The first few months were very hard for her because she did know how to feel all the time she had now. She used to call a lot and we never took it as an annoying gesture because we understood why she did so. We missed her too but at least we had each other and she was alone. We had asked of Skype and how efficient it was especially when it came to video communication. This is something that our mother would have loved so we asked her if she would give it a try. She loved it and she even started asking us if she could port her number on to Skype. I asked myself if I could also port my number to skype and so did my sister. We put that on hold as we worked on getting used to the video calls.

Manufacturers have already realized what consumers need in order to purchase.

posted on 31 May 2011

Manufacturers these days are making it more easier for the users of their items because there is help available anytime in case there are problems encountered with the purchased items. Many manufacturers for instance issue out their contacts in the package of every item they produce and in case a user requires any help or wants to recommend, they can do so with ease. Other manufacturers have opened up websites that offer help online, and the customer care representatives working in these websites operate 24/7. This means that a consumer can consult, recommend or present their inquiries any time of day or night. Zune is one such company. In case I need help with zune software, I will not need to wait until morning if I encountered an issue at night, because as long as I can reach their help site, I will be helped accordingly. Customers have realized just how important getting help from manufacturers is, especially if it concerns the new items in our markets, that is why they will always consider where to get help first before making a purchase.

Maintaining the privacy of our email accounts.

posted on 7 May 2011

Passwords are meant to protect one's email account from account hackers. However, if the password is not strong enough, then there is no protection guaranteed to that account and account hackers can get into the account and harm the account owner using the information they will get from these accounts. A strong password entails a combination of both letters and numbers when one is coming up with these passwords. After sometimes, even the strongest of all passwords can be guessed, therefore your account will still not be safe, and this means that a change of passwords as often as possible is better if our accounts have to remain safe. Email accounts passwords are very easy to change. If for instance you want to Change Hotmail Password, you need to follow the reset password link in the login page and then you will answer a few questions before being allowed to change the password. Ensure that the password is stronger in order to give maximum protection to your email account. Then you will be free to save anything in your account without worrying that anyone might see it.

Donna is a certified phone addict. You can't seem to name a place where you won't see her carry a phone. Her boyfriend even tells her that what she's doing is quite annoying and irritating already. No matter how many times and how many people have warned her about the hazards of always carrying her phone, she doesn't give the slightest care. She is very dependent on her cellphone and would even choose it over her boyfriend. You can even imagine how the boyfriend reacted to this news. Somehow, the only security that she gives her phone is the password. Since its a touch screen type of phone, she made sure that it was a little bit secured. One day while going to school, she somehow thought of something else. Her thoughts weren't really coherent. Suddenly, she stopped. She whispered to herself, " i forgot my phone password! What should I do now?" There was total confusion in her eyes. She was in great panic. She decided to calm down and think about the password. Luckily she remembered the hint of the password and she was able to use the phone again.

Why people purchase computer softwares from certain companies.

posted on 28 January 2011

My friend called me the other day because she was worried about the quick time pop up messages that always appeared when she wanted to listen to a radio online. The pop ups could not let her continue opening up the radio and she needed to uninstall quick time although she was not sure what she was going to lose after installation. I did not have answers right away but I asked her to come over to my home so we could research about the issues together. We first decided to seek apple quicktime help from its help Page. The response we got instructed us to un-install the software so that in case we needed it later, we could re-install it back again. After un installing it, the pop ups disappeared and my friend was able to listen to the online radio. Some software issues could be so much but with a good software provide like apple, a user can receive as much help as they want with their softwares. In fact this is what is determining the purchasing capacity of so many computer users.

Vincent’s Most Awaited Birthday Present from Mom

posted on 3 January 2011

My nephew, Vincent, Is one of the many teenagers who are just so keen about the computer. For his last birthday, he even asked his mom to buy him his own laptop. His mom obliged because anyway, a laptop is more useful than a new cell phone. So needless to say, Vincent was so happy to receive his birthday present &ndash a brand new laptop. He has been using it for weeks without fail. He uses it sometimes for research, most times for video games and at other times to download pictures. One time I heard him talking about pictureview password. I have no idea what it is, but he explained to me that it involved being able to view pictures or photos on the net. It could be photos of your friends or your own pictures. He even said it was possible to edit photos with a use of software, which he wanted to buy. But Vincent&rsquos mom said, &ldquoMaybe on your next birthday, son.&rdquo Vincent smiled. He can&rsquot wait for his next birthday.

Phone malfunctions are at times due to carelessness.

posted on 18 December 2010

For my birthday, my parents got me a samsung propel, they had seen how I had been raving about it all the time. Anytime I would see its advert on television I would stop everything I was doing and look at it commenting at its every feature, it was an obsession. So when my dad gave me the phone, I was very happy,I even promised that I would take good care of the phone and he will not hear me asking a technician How Do I Fix My Samsung Propel? This was because I intended to take good care of the phone because I knew if the problem was software related, then that was not my fault but if it was hardware related then it would be my doing. I avoided the habit of charging the phone all the time because I knew if I did, then the battery would fail me and that was a problem that was not fixable but instead, I would have to buy a different battery. I even knew that dropping the phone all the time would also create a problem that I would not be in a position to fix because a number of things could happen like the screen breaking and that also meant getting a new one. So I kept it away from my sister who is a klutz and if she even handled it, that would be the end of it. If a program on the phone did not work well, I would take it to the manufacturer who would in turn fix the problem.

Respecting the Sentiments of an Old Man

posted on 15 November 2010

A few months ago, when Martina visited her dad at their hometown, she noticed a box beside his dad's bed. While she was waiting for her dad to wake up, she managed to open the box to see what was inside. She saw a cell phone. It wasn't exactly new nor did it look expensive, but for some reasons, Martina just fell in love with it. So when her dad woke up, she did not waste any more time and she immediately asked him if he could just give the phone to her. Her dad refused, saying "I would rather that you buy a brand new phone. You see, I actually encounter a problem with nokia 5800. And I tell you, you wouldn't like it, really." Eventually, Martina found out that the phone was her late mom's last present for her dad. That explains his unwillingness to give it away. Martina's dad is keeping the phone for sentimental reasons. Of course, Martina did not insist because she knew that doing so would surely break his dad's heart.
