laptops should copy six features from iPad

08 Dec

In the second quarter of 2010, Apple sold 3.3 million iPads. In fact, it was the first quarter of the tablet device on the market, but still sold over MacBook laptop with around 800,000 units. Sales of the two products together Apple rose from seventh in the notebook market in the world on the third.

Laptop manufacturers should analyze also consider the factors affecting the popularity of the IPAD and how some of these functions could be built into laptops.

1. Battery life

When Apple announced technical specifications of the IPAD and requires 10 hours of Apple laptop battery life, I rolled my eyes. Figures published battery life are rare in the real world. But the reality exceeded the expectations of the iPad. He easily won 11 to 12 hours of battery life from my iPad, and others have reported the same.

2. Instant-on

You can click on the button IPAD energy and is now on a web page, calendar or e-mail draw. Likens the experience to pull your laptop into a conference room, wait about 30 seconds to boot to give, and then wait until the operating system is ready.

3. Central Software

The feature that the IPAD is infinitely useful and versatile his massive choice of third-party applications. This software is in a central repository, the App Store from Apple, which also includes all updates for IPAD applications.

4. Simple user interface

There is a children’s book classic simple pictures are best when a photographer tried to do a portrait of the family, but the family is trying complicated positions. The photographer keeps repeating, simple images are the best. ”

5. Content Consumption

One of the biggest complaints about the iPad offers a worse experience in content creation. It is undisputed, and, frankly, is one reason why I do not spend a lot of the iPad. It is primarily a reader of books, documents and files. If I do a lot of online content creation, to go from writing to post photos on Flickr and news updates on Twitter.

6. Size Matters

The possibility of the IPAD laptop case without taking another major advantage. The power supply is still small enough to wrap and in a pocket or purse. The small size of the IPAD business may feel as if you travel light, especially if you’re used to a laptop bag to carry the machine and a range of accessories, it includes support.

Look after your health in front of the screen

Welfare associate computers seems at first sight, a pilgrim idea. Some experts strive to highlight the ill effects of spending too many hours in front of the screen, and there is talk everywhere of addiction to new technologies or increased sedentary lifestyle. Alarmist trend of the mainstream media does not help to change this partial picture.

Within its obvious limitations, however, information technology can improve our quality of life. And you do not need to resort to telemedicine or expensive peripherals. Grouped into categories, dozens of programs help to properly take a diet or exercise plan, or even motivate us to perform tasks. Let’s look more interesting.

Ares: Questions and Answers B

03 Dec

Ares: Questions and Answers B

No floor, hangs

Ares users are ephemeral. They are now, not now. It is best to start and finish a download at the moment. If you leave you’re more likely half that the next time you start Ares, your source has "blown" and Ares will be "looking for" forever.

You can try Pause download (Right click), and immediately continue it, to see if it reacted to Ares. If not, you’ll do better to re-locate the file in the browser to see if anyone else who has.

It sometimes happens that you’re downloading something and suddenly stops. If only one user had the file may have been disconnected. If there were several, you may be in the send queue of any of them. For a more shared resources, each user is assigned a piece of file, so that if the first user already has sent his piece and the second is queued to send, you will be playing wait.

Where to store the downloads?

You can see where downloads are saved in Ares Control Panel, Tab Download. To change the folder you just press the button Change folder. For quick access to this folder, you have a link to the section Downloads, Called Open downloads folder.

In this folder are stored both as completed downloads Incomplete. In the latter case, it is with the prefix ___ARESTRA___.

Before you delete files in this folder should close completely Ares (also from the System Tray). Otherwise you can go into "conflict of interest to be the current file.

Ares and SMS

Ares does not need to run SMS payments. Is a free program and as such, you can download from Softonic or from their website.

If you wish, you can download from servers in Softonic. In this way you ensure that the download is free of viruses, fast and always available. In this case we must use text messaging. If not, you can always choose the download option present in the same Ares download page in Softonic.

In no event Ares down repeatedly through the use of SMS is no advantage in terms of increased download speed, connection troubleshooting, etc.

Ares not connecting

We left for last the best, or worst: the inability to connect to Ares. It does not seem to happen to all users, but a large part of them.

The operation of this program is not based on a central server to connect as in eMule, but in a network between users. The problem is that for a while Ares is incapable of discovering new peers, so a newly installed Ares without peer list, it is very difficult to get connected.

Ares users who have installed since before these problems and therefore do have a list of known peers, probably have not noticed any difference in how the program works.

Possible solutions:

∗ Open this Hashlink – A special link that opens with Ares.

∗ Download file nodes – Generated in July 2008

In the first case you just have to click the link and wait Hashlink. Do not be impatient, take a walk, read a book, climbing a mountain … Just kidding, you should have results in about fifteen minutes at most.

If you want to test the files of nodes, in this case it is a RAR file with four. You must unzip the folder

Documents and Settings / tu.nombre.de.usuario / Local Settings / Application Data / Ares / Data

Overwrite if necessary.

Note: If you can not find this folder, you may be hidden. To show, in Explorer, go to Tools / Folder Options and tab View selectShow all hidden files and folders“.

Ares starts and tries to connect. With a little luck, an "Online" shine on high, and you keep searching and downloading.

Conclusions

We hope these questions and, in particular, the answers, you find them useful. The truth is that Ares is not past his prime.

Perhaps it’s time to turn their sights to one of the many alternatives available in P2P programs…

Ares: Questions and Answers A

02 Dec

Ares: Questions and Answers A

Ares, the Greek god of war, seems to be losing the eternal battle against time. Its development has stagnated for about a year, something unthinkable for a program so popular.

This is not an issue if Ares continue working perfectly, but unfortunately not. The more than 600 comments, most of them with complaints or questions, the start guide for use I long ago that we presented and demonstrated.

We will try to answer to some of the most repeated questions in that article, hoping that you will be helpful.

Ares Is compatible with Windows Vista?

Yes it is. There is a known problem with the Taskbar Ares running Windows Vista. It is the only specific issue you’ll find when you use Ares Vista rather than XP.

The problem of the Taskbar acting erratically and "corrupt", is related to the skin of the program and the API’s own Windows Vista in this regard. There is no 100% reliable solution, but if it happens you can try the following:

∗ Change the skin of Ares. It is made from the section Control Panel / Skin Ares. If this happens the error with the skin "General"Chooses"OsThemes, And vice versa.

∗ Ares force not to use skins. This will convert your Ares into a real eyesore, but perhaps you free from this error. To do so creates a shortcut to Ares. For example, on the Desktop. Then right-click it and select Properties. Go to the tab Support and check "Disable visual themes".

The Ares search finds nothing

If you are doing searches and not get any results, keep in mind:

∗ The Seeker does not work unless you are connected or your Ares "know" enough users. Indicated in the title of the window with the text "Online"Not"Connecting". If you can not connect Ares, also failed to find.

∗ Be sure not to be writing something incorrectly, For example with a typographical error. Test popular search terms to see if they get results.

Is it essential to have an open port?

No, not essential have an open port for Ares connecting, searching and downloading, but it is Recommended.

The ports are only used on computers connected to a router to share the connection with multiple computers. That is, it is not standalone. If you’re using your modem or router is standalone, your connection will act as if all open ports, unless you have a firewall.

If you are unable to open a port for Ares or connect through a firewall that is beyond your control, go to options in Ares Control Panel, Tab RedAnd check "My PC is behind a firewall and can not accept incoming connections".

Ares download too slowor

There is no magic formula to make Ares download faster. Everything you download from Ares ether is not downloaded from netizens but the connection from another Ares user who is sharing the file.

Since it is difficult to find someone who is able to send at high speed, the best strategy is to have several different people sending you at once. You do this by downloading files with many sources.

What slots and speed setting I recommend?

The default configuration is sufficient for most cases. The number of simultaneous updates and downloads data to a user preferences. If you think you can download more at once, up the simultaneous downloads. Yes you should be careful with the bandwidth upstream. Excessive use can cause suppression of the line saturation and slower to download.

You can avoid congestion by setting a number in Transmission bandwidth of you leave a margin of about 10-20 KB / s with respect to the capacity of your connection. For example, if your connection can send a maximum speed of 60 KB / s (equivalent to about 512 kbps), limits the increase to 40 KB / s.

Ares does not work

Interestingly, this statement was not specific as one of the most repeated in your comments. Understanding "not working" and that neither is installed or displayed, you have to remember:

∗ Do not download Ares from places that are not trusted. Download things from the sponsored links (in yellow) Google is usually a bad idea.

∗ Make sure the size downloaded file match the one indicated at the start of discharge. Otherwise the download will be cut in half.

∗ Ares has no special requirements for operation. No need. NET Framework or anything outside, so if you have trouble starting your computer, you may question some in your Windows error.
