Disavantages of cloning

Bookmark and Share
June 1998, president Clinton publicly condemned human cloning. He opined that ‘any discovery that touches upon human creation is not simply a matter of scientific inquiry. It is a matter of morality and spirituality as well. Each human life is unique, born of a miracle that reaches beyond laboratory science.’ When did president Clinton condemn human cloning so resolutely? What are the reasons lurking behind actually? Let us start discussing the reasons of opposing cloning deeply.

The uncertainty of science technology

Science and technology cannot solve everything. What if we allow to human cloning? Have we ever thought of the results of that? Will the results be controllable? Even scientists cannot promise they can. Obviously, there are some potential crises lurking behind. Of course, these kinds of uncertainty are not reasonable to stop all the developments of science and technology. But we believer that we should ban such extreme cases (such as human cloning) as long as they have potential in damaging humans’ future.

Furthermore, in cloning Dolly, it resulted in the death of many embryos and newborns before success achieved. (The Dolly experiment started with 277 fused eggs, of which only 29 became embryos. All the embryos were transferred to 13 sheep. 1 became pregnant with Dolly.) In addition, even if the human clone survived, it is not guaranteed that it would develop normally. The genetic material in cloning Dolly came from a 6 year old mammal (what is an old stage of sheep). Dolly’s chromosomes could be found in older animals only. This finding made scientists start wondering whether Dolly, looking totally normal from its appearance, might have inherited genetic damage that would be shown in older age only or some other abnormalism.

Losing the diversity of genes

Human can live on the Earth relies on the diversity of genes. And the diversity of genes comes from parents having different sets of genes. The most horrendous part of identical genes is that it will weaken our power and adaptations, which make us subjected to great diseases easily. In addition, human cloning is just copying the identical genes, which means it will decrease the diversity of genes.

Furthermore, the beauty of humanity lies in the differences we see in each other. Cloning would eliminate surprise and predict expectancy.

The great diseases and leading to extinction

As mentioned above, in human cloning, all human beings will be identical. Which means that entire human is at a risk of getting infected by the same type of pathogen. In scientific point of view, if every one has the same type of genes and they are closed to each other they may not defend against the same kind of serious disease. Then cloning will be detrimental in terms of a great disaster.

Another negative effect of cloning is inbreeding, as everyone has the same genotype and keep reproducing among themselves. This would lead us to our own extinction finally.

Richard Nicholson of the British Bulletin of Medical Ethics said that cloning research may well be “sowing the seeds of our own destruction.”

Cloning is “playing God”

The clergymen opined human cloning is playing the role of god. Bishop of Catholic Albert Moraczewski mentioned that the power that God gives humans is over the fish, the birds, and all animals, domestic and wild, large and small. (Genesis, chapter1, verse 26). Adam and Eve have all the power, except they cannot eat the fruit of the tree that gives knowledge of what is good and what is bad. If they do so, they will die. So, Albert Moraczewski believes that human cloning is out of the God’s permission. There is no evidence that proves humans have the right to change God’s will.

Transgressing the nature

Human cloning transgresses nature, because it is not via the natural reproductive process, which is by a man and a woman. Human cloning is creating life.

Inhumane

A clone makes no differences as us. A clone must ear, drink and carry out any other metabolic processes in order to survive. The clone may even be better than his original host. It would be inhumane to treat them as ‘special species’. If human is cloned, this will turn us to be a property which can be sold to anybody else. In other words, selling humans is unethical, inhumane and immoral.

Devastate parenting and family life

The basic concept of a family is a couple falls in love and determines to care each other. Then the couple may decide to have children which they will love them dearly. But parents of clones might value their children according to how much they look like to themselves. Cloning, at a result, undermine the basic elements of loving, nurturing family and to accept each child as an unique individual.

Cause unbalance to the society

Cloning may arouses social side effects. It is ridiculous that reproduction is separated from love and other human relationship. The entire world may use cloning for eugenics that would lead to efforts to selectively breed children who are of more intelligent, heavier and extraordinary.

Persons that oppose cloning

~ In 1997- Feb, Carl Felbaum, president of the Biotechnology Industry Organization said: ‘One of the prospects should not be, perhaps should never be, the extension of this technique to human beings. Now that it may be possible we would say its should be prohibited if necessary by law.”

~ Stephen Grebe, an associate professor of biology at American University in Washington said: “we are going to be facing this issue with humans. With that possibility open, I am concerned without adequate safeguards that this will become a reality. It may very well already be.”

~ Jesse Rainbow, a university sophomore, lists reasons why some people have a knee-jerk aversion to embryo cloning. A clone would not be a “real person”. But a clone would have exactly the same status that an identical twin already does. Both are derived from a single fertilized ovum.

The Sims 2 (on PC) review

Bookmark and Share
The process of day-to-day 'living' boasts considerably more depth and diversity than the previous incarnation. Each Sim now has a set of wants and fears that will guide their mood within the parameters of an overall life-building aspiration.

The Sims' immediate goals need to be addressed each and every day if they're going to feel successful. This might be as simple as having a chat with someone on MSN, or it might be more difficult - having an affair with a local beauty, for example, or being able to afford dazzling consumer luxuries.

The range of options for providing for these needs, the actions the Sims can perform, the interactions that are possible, the careers that can be undertaken and the furnishings that can be purchased, make up a bewildering array of possibilities.

The Sims are all genuinely endearing, and this attachment makes all the labour of managing their lives seem worthwhile. It's been said before, but the soap opera content of The Sims can quickly become more entertaining than anything daytime TV can invent.


Within moments of playing with one of the pre-built neighbourhoods, the father of the family is juggling his relationship with his wife and his affair with the maid.

The Sims 2 simply drips with additional functions and features - not least of which is the movie-making interface, which allows you to record and edit moments of Sim life to be kept as a video file and played back later.

With all the arguments about videogame violence in the mainstream press, it's always pleasing to note that the biggest-selling modern PC game has been non-violent. Quietly rolling onwards with a highly accomplished project of sophisticated and emotive gaming, The Sims 2 looks set to ensure that it stays that way.

Classic Menu for Office 2007

Bookmark and Share
When I first heard of Office 2007 and had a sneak of it, I felt like uninterested. The looks are all new. Thus, I never really upgraded my Office to 2007. But, I need to because I need to learn the new interface of the software. Almost everyone had upgraded their Office 2003 to Office 2007. Leaving me no choice, but to follow. Well, it is real hard because I am more of a keyboard rather than a mouse person. So, whenever I am using Office 2007, may it be Word, Excel, Power Point, or Outlook, I used to press shortcut keys that leads me to nothing. On the other hand, using the mouse to make necessary adjustments is somewhat uneasy for I am still unfamiliar of the new environment I am working with. Nonetheless, I loved the new features of Office 2007 such as the save as PDF file functionality. Probably, I would appreciate Office 2007 more if offered with the new functionality with the same classic or standard menu. I'm not really against the new interface, it's just that, I am now more comfortable of the old one. I had found this add on tool on the web that caters Classic Style Menus and Toolbars for Word, Excel, PowerPoint 2007. There's a free trial version so I tested it. It's pretty amazing. Here are snapshots of the Word 2007 with and without the Classic Style Menus and Toolbars.

How a Hard Disk Drive Records Data

Bookmark and Share

Computer hard-disk drives are in exercise in more or less every desktop computer in today's technological grounds. A desktop computer for the most part commonly exercises one hard-disk drive while servers, computers, and supercomputers make use of hundreds of them at one time to convey the predictable outcomes of their users. Up till now, in all of these systems, the hard-disk drive does one job.






  • Hard-disk drives store up altering digital information in a partially permanent state and provide computers the capability to memorize data even when power is not provided to the computer, such as happens with a power outage.




  • Exclusive of the hard-disk drive, a computer would be not sufficiently expert of remembering the series of data that is requisite to perform the simplest of operations, together with booting up for use.





  • A hard-disk drive is little bit easier to comprehend once it is taken apart and its system of arranging the gigabytes of information detained inside its files.




  • The capability to "make out" the computer's hard-disk drive job over and over again removes the fright of the unidentified, or what you can do to the computer earlier than it won't be acquainted with its own information, thus causing a deadly crash to take place.








  • By the way, even if you do seriously crash your computer's drive, it isn't the end of the world. A blown hard-disk drive can be refurbished by replacing any non-functioning parts and rebooting an operating system in the case that the operating system files compulsory for operation of the computer have been smashed or deleted.




  • The name hard-disk drive came later on to make a distinction between floppy drives and the hard-drives. Functioning on the similar principle as a cassette tape with a few modifications in method, the hard-disk was capable to amass information magnetically, but was also well suited for trouble-free erasing and rewriting of information for the convenience of transformation since the core of information has always changed speedily in the field of computers.




  • There are quite a lot of key differences between the two that make hard-disk drives exceptional. The technique of transferring information or data to a cassette tape makes the difference between the two.








  • Data recorded to a cassette tape is encrusted onto a slim plastic strip in which a drive magnetically accounts data onto high-precision aluminum or glass disks and then polishes the data to mirror softness. The tempo of rewinding and fast-forwarding also differ as hard-disk drives can do this immediately.




  • Data to a drive never in point of fact touches the surface of the aluminum disks or glass that it is documented onto in view of the fact that the information is read and is in black and white in head "files" over the disk.




  • Cassettes have need of actual contact to make use of the same magnetic principles for recording data




  • Considering it as extremely classy cassette tape also provides an improved visual into how it works and the skill that the disk drive provides a client. In subsequent articles, more appealing and easy to follow functions of the hard-disk drive will be discovered in order to make a more user-friendly relationship between a user and computer's hard-disk drive.

Speed up Firefox by increasing the pipeline.

Bookmark and Share
From every browser a specified or default number of connections known as pipelines go out to Web servers to download a page. By increasing this you can experience a slight increase in your browsing speed but it can increase load on servers if you're too greedy. If you think that's not your problem, think again as many sites (and rightly so) are banning users that have several pipelines above the default specifications. The difference in speeds of browsers with default and enchanced number of pipelines is sufficiently high when viewing graphic-heavy sites. But remember, this cannot give you a higher bandwidth than what your line is capable of, it just sends more requests at once to download. Watch out on shared bandwidths such as your own office, you could hog it quite a bit. Here is how to do it.

Step 1: Type about:config into your location bar and hit Enter.


Step 2: In about:config, type network.http. A list will appear.

Step 3: Double-click inetwork.http.pipelining setting to change it to true.

Step 4: Double-click the network.http.proxy.pipelining setting to change it to true. (This'll only matter if you're behind a proxy)

Step 5: Double-click the network.http.pipelining.maxrequests setting, and in the text box that appears, type in 2, 4 or 6 and click OK. Yes, you can type in 100, but it would only be foolhardy.

In case your performance drops then you know some of the sites you are surfing have banned you for using more than the default pipelines. Just revert back to the previous settings and you should be ok. Fasterfox extension also does the same, but now since you have this that extension would be an excess baggage.

Step by Step Guide For iPhone Screen Replacement

Bookmark and Share
One of the most complex repairs on an iPhone is a screen replacement repair, before you attempt this repair be sure to have sufficient time to complete the task, and have a clear working space for your iPhone and the replacement screen to sit in while working on them.


For a replacement screen repair it is necessary to completely disassemble the iPhone, therefore I would suggest that prior to commencing the repair get a few small pieces of paper in order to label your parts, and I particular the origin of the screws. Label them as follows; Metal Back Screws, aluminum back case, and motherboard - lay them out on the workspace in this order with a small space between them for the other iPhone components and replacement screen to lie in.


The tools and equipment required for this repair are; a case opener, a small Phillips screwdriver, a paperclip to eject the SIM tray and the iPhone replacement screen, once you have these to hand and the paper labels lined up. Be sure to have clean hands before starting the repair.

Firstly remove the SIM tray - do this by inserting the paper clip in the hole on the topside of the iPhone next to the power button, when the clip is inserted, the SIM tray should eject. Next, use the case opener to remove the plastic back of the iPhone. Lay these two components next to the paper labels, after you have fitted the replacement screen into your iPhone you will need to reverse the order of these instructions to reassemble the iPhone. For this reason, I would suggest placing them furthest from you next to the aluminum paper label.

The next step is to remove the two small screws on either side of the back securing the metal casing, and another screw located top, middle of where you removed the plastic back - placing these on the paper label. Once you have completed this, take the case opener again and carefully run it along both sides of the iPhone to loosen the back away from the frame - you will notice the metal back is secured by a wire ribbon, carefully detach this from the main section of the Iphone, not the metal back end.

The next step in the screen replacement repair needs caution - it is required to remove the iPhone antenna cable, secured by glue in three positions, carefully pry it loose of the glue spots. After this, you will need to remove 10 screws from around the sides of the iPhone, and place them on the paper label ‘Outside Case' - after this remove the 3 screws securing the motherboard. You need to remove the motherboard at the same time as the battery as they are soldered together, once you have done this you can carefully detach the remaining iPhone frame.

The next step is to remove the LCD screen in order to fit the replacement screen - this is possibly the most difficult part of the repair and needs to be done with extreme caution. Loosen the 3 clips on the sides of the screen and slowly begin removing the LCD, you will see some wires are intertwined into the Iphone - carefully guide them through the frame and, they will slide right through.

Once you have completed this, take the iPhone screen replacement and insert it into the phone, carefully trace your steps to ensure that no errors are made when assembling the iPhone back to its original state.

This iPhone screen replacement guide was provided to you courtesy of iPhone Parts Pro - the online store for all your iPhone accessories, parts and spares to enable the fixing of your iPhone at home.

Nokia Secret Codes/Hacks

Bookmark and Share
These codes for the Nokia series of phones provide some interesting information for users, they also unlock some hidden functions. These codes are often reffered to as "Nokia Secret Codes" or "Nokia Hacks". Use the codes at your own risk, not all Nokia phones support all codes, I have tried to split them into these groups.


Unlock |Phone 3g & 2.2

The date the phone left the factory and the date it was purchased. If your phone has been repaired the date of the repair is also visible. You will need to turn the phone off to exit this menu. Newer phones simply require you to press ok.


The following codes are specific to older series 40 phones; (Entering the following codes will restart the phone)
*4720# (*hra0#) Cctivates Half Rate, Half Rate is 5.6kbit/s and uses half the bandwidth at the cost of call quality. Network operators often activate half rate on overloaded towers during peak times to save costs. #4720# (#hra0#) Deactivates Half Rate *3370# (*efr0#) Activates Enhanced Full Rate, EFT attempts to match wire quality. The calls are 12.2kbit/s and are not supported by all operators. It is compatibale with the hightest AMR mode. #3370# (#efr0#) Deactivates Enhanced Full Rate *#746085685# (*#sim0clock#) Display the SIM clock status


The following codes are phone specific or phase related;

Creating Perfect Mattes Using Channels in Adobe Photoshop CS3

Bookmark and Share
Using a selection tool alone in Photoshop might not capture all of the pixel data that you need to cleanly cut out an image from your photo. Instead, you can use Photoshop's Channels to extract the data you need.

Here are some simple steps to follow so that you can get a perfect matte using some great tools that Photoshop offers.

Duplicate the image

1. Select Layer>Duplicate.

2. Select Edit>All.
3. Click the Channels tab and Select Layer>New>Layer to create a new channel.

4. Paste the selected layer in the new channel. A black and white alpha channel will appear. Select Select>Deselect to deselect the information in the new channel.

Crush the blacks



1. Select Image>Adjustments>Levels to adjust the levels. Move the left slider to the right to crush the blacks. Move the right slider to the left to restore the white background.

2. Use the lasso tool to remove any remaining detail inside your image. Press (Mac) or (PC) to delete the remaining information.

3. Select Select>Deselect to deselect your image.

Create a mask

1. Select Image>Adjustments>Inverse to create the mask for your image.

2. -Click or -Click the image icon in the Channel tab to select the alpha channel outline.

3. Click the Layers tab and select Layer>Layer Mask>Reveal Selection. If you turn off the background channel, you can see that the white background has been masked out.

Do the hair

Not ending up with blocky hair can be the hardest part of creating a clean mask. Using Levels and Masks can make life a lot easier than working with a Bezier or erasing a mask.

I am adding a colored background so that it's easier to see the hair of the subject.

1. Select Layer>New Fill Color>Solid Color. Select a color to help see. Make sure to drag the fill layer below the image layers.

2. Select Layer>Duplicate Layer to duplicate the image layer. This ensures that your original mask remains unchanged. The aim is to edit the masks only and not the layer.

3. Set the Duplicated mask layer to Normal and set the original Mask layer to Multiply.

Make sure to select the Mask for the duplicate image.

1. Select the Lasso tool and select the washed out areas of the hair.

2. Select Select>Modify>Feather. Start with a range between 5 and 50 depending on how high resolution your image is.

Crush the Whites

1. Select Image>Adjustments>Levels. Move the white Output Levels slider to the left, until the white highlights disappear.

You can now experiment with additional layers to correct the colors, etc. further.

This method is quite useful if you have multiple images shot on a white background and have

How to speed up your internet connection.

Bookmark and Share
One must always in search of how he can gear up his internet speed, every one in this world must have to learn how to increase internet speed as fast as possible. The thing you do first is:

1. With google tool bar you must have to download fire fox.

2. Start downloading fire tune after you have successfully download fire fox with google tool bar.

3. Fire tune is used to make fire fox run faster

Fire tune is complete software which is more efficient and smart to increase the speed according to our desire.

After the above process is over then again start downloading lvllord patch, to increase the TCP connections, lvllord patch is used. As a permanent internet user I (Danish muzaffar) always prefer to download SG TCP optimizer. The reason why I am using it is that it is portable and increases the internet speed.

So below I am providing you some knowledge for your convenience:

1. First step is to test the internet speed.

2. For free internet speed test simply point your browser.

3. Click to test the internet speed has changed or not.

Do remember that there are many reasons that affect your internet speed; these include spyware, adware, network conditions and also the load of the computers.
*

For example if someone from your home is downloading something then you can feel the amount of lag and speed it takes and also your own work will take time.
*

The reason is due to the amount of bandwidth that we both are using at same time.
*

At this time, you get irritated but you cannot do any thing and you have to wait for the completion of download.

In DSL, we can find another alternative to slow internet, but as compare to cable network it is a slower alternative.

*

Many businesses pay higher premium to get the facility of DSL, in this way the get an increase in there internet speed.
*

In exchange of lightening fast speeds, many households will deal with the cable internet having random outages.

A quick tip to increase your internet speed, this can be done by doing the following two processes. These processes are experienced by me:

In the tool bar click start, then run and do the following process:

*

Type ping and then click run
*

If not then type msconfig
*

Once it's done, click startup and the deselect all.
*

After that it will automatically deselect all the programs and load on to you computer.
*

So you can easily boot it up.
*

But if these programs didn't start immediately, it can cause the other programs to run slower.
*

Deselecting all programs before booting your computer.

Now I hope that you will surely get benefited by my experience. You will have the best, fastest and more efficient speed. Do consult with your service providers in order to speed your internet.

CD - ROMS: Advantages And Disadvantages

Bookmark and Share
CD-ROM Advantages

When compared to instructor-led programs, the features and benefits of CD-ROM training include all those shared by other types of technology-based training:
• self-paced
• highly interactive
• increased retention rates
• reduced costs.

When compared to Web-based training, the benefits largely come from the fact that CD-ROMs usually provide a more engaging learning experience, with text, audio, video, and animations all used to convey information. Typically, a graphic will be displayed along with bulleted text as an audio narration provides the primary content. Video clips can be used to show human behaviors or complex operations. This use of multiple media means that learning is optimized for all three learning styles: auditory, kinesthetic, and visual.

Student engagement is also increased with the use of creative themes or metaphors. Whether the topic is sales training or understanding a new computer system, today's programs are often wrapped in a classic Hollywood genre: science fiction, mystery, adventure, or even television talk shows and game shows. Students can play the role of starship captain, a private eye, or swashbuckling archeologist as they explore their way through knowledge and conquer the learning objectives.



Finally, since people learn best from experience, the multimedia capability of CD-ROMs provides the power to create realistic job simulations. For example, a sales training program could put the student face-to-face with a tough prospect. ("Your prices are 10 percent higher than what I'm paying now!") Medical education programs put new doctors in front of simulated patients. ("Would you choose chemotherapy or surgery?") Soldiers choose tactics on a realistic battlefield. ("Enemy tank is flanking 500 yards to the right.") CEOs could hone their approach to crisis management. ("Ms. Jones, the 6 o'clock news crew is in the lobby demanding a statement about our product recall. What should we do?")

In each case, a discovery-learning simulation can be developed using disk-based CBT, or delivered via the Web, but with bandwidth limitations the simulations would consist of only text and graphics. The learning is enhanced with multimedia CD-ROM because students are able to see the body language and hear the voices of on-screen video participants, and interact in real-time using a greater number of senses.

CD-ROM Limitations

One of the disadvantages of CD-ROM based training, when compared to instructor-led delivery, is the lack of peer-to-peer learning opportunities. After all, good instructors are really supposed to be facilitators, who bring out experience-based lessons and realizations from the students themselves. Additionally, there are other benefits from the socialization that takes place in a physical classroom, including higher motivation, team building, and creation of relationships that can be supportive long after the training is over.

The biggest drawback of CD-ROM-based training when compared to Web-based training is the difficulty in updating or changing the content. Once a CD-ROM is created, the information on it can not be changed. If a widget manufacturer uses CD-ROMs to train its sales force and they create a better widget, a new training CD-ROM will have to be created, duplicated, and distributed to the sales force. Depending on the size of the sales force, distributing new CD-ROMs could cost thousands of dollars. More important than the higher cost is the additional time required. Once the training program itself is updated, it typically takes three weeks for a duplication company to complete an order, which is likely followed by another week to package, address, and ship the CDs to the sales representatives.

Finally, CD-ROM programs present a challenge when it comes to student tracking. Because the CD is a distributed system without a direct link back to a training manager, other types of media must also be used for the reporting of student scores and completion certificates. Common methods include:

* Printout of score report or certificate, which is then faxed or mailed to a manager or the corporate training department.
* Final score is saved as a small data file onto a floppy diskette, which is then mailed back to the home office for processing.
* If student has e-mail access, but no Intranet is available for automatic distribution, assessment score files can be attached to e-mail messages and sent to a training manager.

In summary, multimedia CD-ROMs -- and their future replacements, DVDs -- offer many advantages and limitations which must be compared to other delivery options on each training program.

How to Install Already Purchased Applications on an iTouch or iPhone

Bookmark and Share
Connect your secondary iTouch or iPhone to your computer using the Apple compatible USB cable. Wait for iTunes to open, or simply open it yourself. Log in to the iTunes account which made the purchase. This ensures that the secondary iTouch/iPhone will pair itself with the iTunes account that is logged in to that computer, hopefully the one that has already made the purchase. This is necessary for later.

The thinking behind this was that if you were logged into the original account when the purchase was made, then just by plugging in your secondary iTouch/iPhone and trying to drag over the applications it would not work, but by saying that this iTouch is also on the original account (momentarily), that it is also allowed to use the purchased content.

Eject the secondary iTouch/iPhone, and then proceed to open the "App Store"

application. Locate the already purchased application, and select "Buy Now" on the top right, or the price first, then “Buy Now”. Do not worry, this will NOT deduct money from your iTunes account. Your Springboard will then appear, with a message stating: "You have already purchased this item. To download it again for free, select OK." Select "OK", obviously. The application will proceed to install istelf. When completed, make sure to restart your iTouch/iPhone as to avoid crashing or freezing.

To desynchronize the second iTouch/iPhone with the sole account, simply plug it in to another computer with the second iTouch/iPhone owner's account logged into iTunes.

You are done!

How to set Passcode lock on iTouch/iPhone

Bookmark and Share
Turn on your Apple iTouch and locate the "Settings" application. Touch to open. Select the "General" tab. Select the "Passcode Lock" tab. You can also feel free to set the timer as to when your iTouch locks by selecting the "Auto-Lock" tab. Set your personal passcode. It must hold 4 digits. DO NOT TELL ANYONE YOUR PASSCODE! DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSCODE EITHER! If you want to turn your passcode off, simply press the "Passcode Lock" tab again, enter your passcode twice, then select "Turn Passcode Off". This also holds true if you want to change it, either way it will prompt you to enter your passcode.

10 ways to increase the battery time of your 3G iPhone

Bookmark and Share
Many people complain about the quality of the non-interchangeble iPhone 3G battery, and for good reasons. When you are listening to music and surf the internet at the same time, you're lucky if you reach the five hour mark with your fully loaded battery. Here are 10 ways to extend the battery time, so you won't have to pull out a second phone when your battery is empty again.

1. Turn off Wi-Fi

Only use Wi-Fi when you're at home, or when you really need it, at a public hotspot. The rest of the time, the Wi-Fi antenna is constantly searching for a signal, thus draining your battery.

2. Turn off UMTS/3G

The talk time doubles to 10 hours max. if you only use the GSM antenna. The internet is not accessible when you turn off Wi-Fi and 3G, so turn it back on when you want to go online.

3. Turn off Bluetooth

Just like the Wi-Fi antenna, this antenna is constantly searching for a connection when turned on too. Again, only turn it on when you need it.

4. De-activate the GPS-antenna

You only use this feature with certain applications like Google Maps, G-Park and Airme. Again, the rest of the time, the antenna is constantly trying to make a connection to a satellite without any use.


5. Brightness of the screen

Although a bright screen looks very nice, it's killing your battery. Turn off the automatic brightness option and manually set it at a low but acceptable level.

6. Check your e-mail manually

The default setting for e-mail is "Push", which means your phone automaticly checks for new e-mail at set times. If you turn this feature off, your phone won't try to make a connection every now and then. If you check manually, you can do it at larger intervals or only when you have the time to read your mail.

7. Is auto-lock turned on?

Yes? Good! Change the time for this to one minute instead of the default five. This way, your battery sucking screen isn't on any longer than necessary.

8. Turn off the rumble function

There are many games available for your iPhone. Many of these games support your phone's rumble function. However, this will drain your battery very fast. So, turn off the rumble when playing games.

9. Don't use the App Store

Don't download your applications at the App Store, instead use iTunes. This way, you won't make use of your 3G antenna, again resulting in a longer battery time


10. Long term use

Completely drain your battery and fully recharge it once a month. This increases the lifetime of your battery greatly.

Top 4 ways to Back-Up your data

Bookmark and Share
Having your computer crash and losing all of your data can be one of the most frustrating things that can happen, especially if you own a business and you lose vital information for your company. Here is something that I have typed up so that you can make sure that that data is safe and that nothing can happen to it.
The only way to really make sure that this information is safe is to back it up. A Back-Up is simply making a copy of the file somewhere else to make sure that when your computer crashes you will just be able to take your Back-Up out and have all your information again. Here are the different ways to Back-Up.

This is the most common type of Back-Up media. It is ideal for when you have extremely large amounts of something, for example Movies, Games, and lots of pictures. The one you see on the left here is a 500GB; this means it can hold the following:


50 Games


714 Movies


150,000 Songs


550,000 Pictures


500,000,000,000 Text documents

The average price for this is about $90-$120 USD.


If you buy a 500GB for $90, that's 5.55GB per Dollar


If you buy a 1,000GB for $120, that's 8.33GB per Dollar

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CD/DVD ROM's

This is the best type of media if you plan on making Back-Ups on a regular basis and if you do not have too much data that you need saved. This is also a good method but it has two downsides. The first is that you need to put in a new DVD Rom for every 4.4GB you Back-Up.

The average price if you buy 50 DVD's is about $0.28 each.


This equals up to about 15GB per Dollar!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Flash Drives

By now everyone should know what this is! Most people think that it is only for transferring data. But it works quite well for storing it as well! The only downside is the low capacity, but if it's only text files then this should be good.

If you buy a 4GB for $10, then it is about 0.4GB per Dollar.



---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Online storage

Not a lot of people think about this option. These are basically uploading your files to a website that offers online storage and then when you need the files just download them back. This is extremely cheap and easy to use, but there is always one downside. It is very slow. You can only upload and download as fast as your internet connection can work, and when dealing with large amounts of files, this can take some time.

I am not going to get to in depth with this because you can simple search the web for this and find the answers you need.

If you buy 150GB for $50 a year, then that is 3GB per Dollar per year.

Well, that is all I can teach you about Backing-Up your data. Remember to decrease the chance of your hard drive crashing just keep your computer in a very cold room and do not constantly read/write from the drive.
