ANDROID TABLETS

Android is an operating system for mobile phones and tablets, in much the same way that PCs run Microsoft Windows as their operating system. It’s maintained by Google, and comes in a few different versions. If you’re looking for a tablet and don’t fancy an iPad, then android tablets is currently the way to go.

Some android tablets have 10-inch screens, others 7 and there are big differences in battery life, processing power and on-board RAM. According to the pundits, these are the top 10 android tablets.

1. Asus Eee Pad Transformer Prime

This is the first tablet to launch with Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 CPU which adds super-powers and increased power efficiency.

2. Asus Eee Pad Slider

The Apple iPad 2 is the best out-and-out tablet there is. The slide-out keyboard offers flexibility and functionality not on offer elsewhere

3. Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9

The Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 has an 8.9-inch screen and its slightly thinner and lighter – consequently easier to stuff into a bag.

4. Asus Eee Pad Transformer

Is powerful and well featured and designed to work with a keyboard dock which turns it into a fully-fledged Android-powered netbook.

5. Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1

With the Tegra 2 dual-core CPU, is marginally thinner and lighter than the iPad 2.

6. Motorola Xoom 2

The most noticeable upgrade on this model might be in the chassis, but it’s also had an upgrade to a 1.2GHz CPU

7. Sony Tablet S

8. Motorola Xoom

The Xoom was the first Honeycomb tablet to hit the shelves, and is therefore the grandfather of the Android stable.

iPAD

The war of the tablet models is raging. Manufacturers are vying with each other in order to come up with the very best iPad tablet.
We have just had the pleasure of getting the iPad 1, but American (so much the forerunner to our tech stuff) has already got their hands on the iPad 2 which is so much lighter and thinner. The iPad 2 has not one but TWO video cameras; one is positioned I the front and the other at the back and it has a dual-core A5 processor that permits graphics to work a whole lot quicker.
If you would like one of these iPads you will be able to order one online. People are now using their iPads in coffee shops to surf the net; they are used in meetings, and even in church where extracts of the Bible can easily and successfully be downloaded. Reading e-books is one of the in-things in today’s techno world. (Personally, I still enjoy the smell of new pages of a good book).
If you would like to read your favourite magazine, anywhere, you will now be able to do so using your iPad.
To date, Apple has sold more than fifteen million iPads across the globe, which is phenomenal seeing that this is a relatively new concept.
Three buttons and a touch screen, the iPad is perfect for downloading content, but not perfect for producing content.
A gadget of note, everyone would love to own one. For more on iPads and other gadgets, you most certainly are on the right page, but should you need to know even more, simply contact us to find out anything else you would like to know.

DEFINITION OF ANTIVIRUS AND WHAT IT CAN DO AND WHAT IT CANNOT DO

People want security in all walks of life be it real life or virtual world. Anti virus software is a program that provides security in the virtual world. It is used to detect all kinds of malware in a computer system. An antivirus is a software program that protects the computer from malicious software.

There are different kinds of malicious software that include viruses, keyloggers, trojans etc. If any of such malware catches the computer system, then it may remove any application or file on the system or make the entire system non-operational.

Whereas others only give some unusual messages to the users. To stay away from any such malware, antivirus software programs are required in every system. An updated antivirus program is necessary to stop the virus from attacking the system.

There are two components of antivirus: engine and antivirus definition database. Work of an engine is to detect viruses with the help of virus definition. As soon as the antivirus software program detects a malware, it may clean the file. It may delete directly from the system or it may change the state of that virus with which it becomes inert.

The inert state is often referred to as quarantine. On the other hand, virus definition database is a collection of all the viruses and trojans present in the virtual world. The antivirus manufacturer releases an updated virus definition from time to time, especially when a new virus arrives. The antivirus engine automatically updates the virus definition through the internet.

Viruses spread like fire in the jungle. As soon as the infected computer is connected to an external device or a network device, virus will replicate itself to the connected network or device. Once the infected device is connected to other systems, it can be harmful for them too.

Here comes the need of an updated antivirus program. Therefore, it can be said that external sources are always a threat to a computer and that is why updated antivirus programs exist to protect the system.
