The fastest way to over come the storage problems is a second hard drive, in addition, its great method to protect critical data. It’s not only an easy and quick way as well as it’s a cost effective, approximately 1$ per gigabyte. So if you need additional storage on your machine, this article will tell you the simplest way to push you forward towards living this experience and obtain your desired results.
Instructions to follow:
As long as you reached this part, this means that you are about to begin this exciting process, shall we delve?
  • Hard DriveFirst check if you want the Serial ATA or IDE (parallel-ATA). Although older machines have the IDE (Parallel ATA), modern ones might support only (Serial-ATA). To make sure of that, you can open up the case and try to distinguish the used drives type. Usually the IDE drives have a flat and wide ribbon cable. The SATA ones have thinner cables and no jumpers.
  • Free a room for an extra hard drive:
  • Restart your machine then log into the BIOS-Menu.
  • Hit the Standard CMOS Settings.
  • Restart your machine
  • See a trusted manufacturer to get the external hard drive you want to add , make sure that its compatible with your master hard drive
  • Turn off your machine, unplug all cords attached to it from the back and unscrew all the screws of your case.
  • Place the screws in a well know place then remove the side panel and drag it out of the case.
  • Look for the region where all flat ribbon cables (or even the SATA cables) attach to the mother board.
  • Pose the jumpers to change the drive status to a slave or a master. Follow the instructions printed on your hard drive to do so. Meanwhile you won’t have to do so if you were dealing with a SATA, as each SATA device uses only its own cable, IDEs can share devices.
  • Locate the empty bay inside your machine case.
  • Connect the ribbon cable that to your hard drive.
  • Connect the Molex power cable; you can distinguish it by the 3 thin internal wires of red, yellow, and black. Notice that SATA drive has a non similar kind of power cable.
  • Place the side panel where it was to your computer then screw it back.
  • If you reached here it’s the last step as you will have to plug all of cables, connect them back to their power source incase while installing the drive you unplugged them.
  • Now we need the computer organization to feel all the changes, and that’s why you will restart your machine. Log into BIOS startup (depending on your mother board manufacturer you can show it by either pressing F10 or DEL key on keyboard). Now check back the BIOS Auto-Detect to make sure that the additional drive got detected. Check the screen that presents the both the Primary and Slave drives, you should see the name of the new added one.
  • Once you log into it, you will face 4 settings named as following: PRIMARY MASTER\AUTOPRIMARY SLAVE\ SECONDARY MASTER\ SECONDARY SLAVE. Hit them all and change them into Auto-Detection.

How to Upgrade the Memory in Your Computer

The best way to improve your computer's performance is to add random-access memory (RAM). Installing new RAM is quite straightforward for most PC owners, but if you're not confident of your abilities, have a store technician do the work.

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • New memory cards
  1. 1
    Find out how much memory your computer has. Here's how:
  2. 2
    In Windows XP, click on Start, then Control Panel, then Performance and Maintenance, then System. In other versions of Windows, double-click on My Computer, then double-click on Control Panel, then double-click on System.
  3. 3
    In Mac OS X, find the Applications folder, double-click on the Utilities folder, and double-click on Apple System Profiler. In Mac OS 9 or earlier, select the Apple System Profiler (usually found in the Apple menu).
  4. 4
    Check your manual or manufacturer's Web site to determine whether there are open memory slots on the motherboard. Also see what the maximum amount of memory your computer can take, as well as the type, category and speed of memory it uses. For example, PC2100 DDR 133 MHz RAM means PC2100 is the type, DDR is the category, and 133 MHz is the speed in megahertz.
  5. 5
    Compare your current memory with the maximum. You have two choices: Add new memory in open slots; or, if all slots are full, replace the existing memory with new, greater-capacity modules.

How to Upgrade a Processor

You can upgrade an older microprocessor to a newer one in easy steps. Before going ahead, you should gather information about which new CPU you need and whether your motherboard is compatible with it or not.
The compatibility of your new CPU with your motherboard can be ascertained by searching for specific information on the Internet, or checking with your trusted computer dealer.

Preparing to Upgrade to a New CPU

After purchasing the correct new CPU, make sure that adequate grounding is available before starting to replace the old CPU. To prevent damage to the fine circuits on the motherboard, wear a grounding strap attached to the computer’s chassis. This should be done several minutes before you get to work.
It is important to exercise extreme care when upgrading a CPU, because it is among the most fragile pieces of computer equipment.
CPU2 How to Upgrade a CPU

Steps to Upgrade a CPU

  • Ensure that the power supply to the computer is turned off and all accessories are detached.
  • Remove the computer’s chassis cover carefully.
  • Locate the CPU fan and heatsink and disconnect the CPU fan from its power supply.
  • Remove the CPU’s heatsink on the motherboard, and find your computer's processor located below it.
  • Remove the old CPU by lifting up the tab holding it in place, and gently pulling it out.
  • The new CPU can be inserted by matching it correctly into position.
  • Push down the tab to hold the new CPU into position.
  • A thin, uniform layer of thermal compound should be applied before placing the heatsink back into position. This thermal compound is used to ensure improved conduction of heat from CPU to the heatsink.
  • The heatsink can then be reinstalled, and the fan's wire connected back to its power supply on the motherboard.
  • The next step will be to confirm that everything is properly connected, by gently trying to move the components.
  • When you are satisfied with the new installation, screw the computer's cover back into place. You can now remove the grounding wrist-strap.
  • Plug your computer into its power source, and attach all the accessories.
  • Your computer can now be turned on and should be ready for use!

How to Change Mobile OS

Now that most mobile phones use operating systems in a similar way to desktop computers, you are more likely to want to change your OS. Typically you can change your mobile OS to a newer version of that OS, but some phone users have had experience changing the operating system entirely, rather than just the version. Note, however, that changing to an unofficial OS will likely void your warranty.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Upgrade the BB OS if you use a BlackBerry smart phone. BlackBerry's do not accept any other type of operating system, but Research in Motion (RIM) does upgrade the OS quite significantly with each release. OS 6 is the latest version (as of February 2011) and you can download it from the main BlackBerry website.
  2. 2
    Experiment if you have an iPhone. iPhones are typically the most closed-source mobile phones, but if you jailbreak your iPhone then you have many more possibilities. You can hack an iPhone to run Linux or early versions of Windows. This will be a complex process and will not be easy for a beginner.
  3. 3
    Upgrade your other OS using the relevant websites. Android releases new versions of their operating system as does Windows Phone (previously Windows Mobile). Windows Phone completely redesigns the user interface from earlier versions.

How to partition and format a hard disk by using Windows XP Setup program

Microsoft Windows XP Professional Full Version with SP2
This article describes how to partition (prepare) and format a hard disk before you install Windows XP using the Windows XP Setup program. This article also contains things to consider before you partition or format your hard disk, and links to resources that can help you troubleshoot if problems occur. This article is intended for an advanced user. 

You can use other methods to partition and format the hard disk before you install Windows XP, such as the Fdisk and Format tools. For additional information about how to use Fdisk and Format to partition and format your hard disk, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

255867  How to use the Fdisk tool and the Format tool to partition or to repartition a hard disk
If your computer is already running Windows XP, and you want to create partitions other than the System or the Startup partitions, you can use the Windows XP Disk Management tools. For additional information about how to use the Windows XP Disk Management tools to partition and format your hard disk, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
309000  How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP

Before you partition and format the hard disk

Before you partition and format your hard disk, make sure that you do the following:

Prepare the hard disk according to the manufacturer's instructions

If you are using a SATA hard disk, skip this step and go to the "Determine the type of file system that you want to use" section. If you are using an IDE hard disk, set the jumpers and the cabling according to the role of the hard disk (for example, master or subordinate) and make any required BIOS (or CMOS) changes. To set the jumpers and cabling, and make any required BIOS or CMOS changes, see the documentation that was included with your hard disk and motherboard, or contact the manufacturers.

Determine the type of file system that you want to use

You can use either the NTFS or FAT file systems. NTFS is the preferred file system to format the hard disk unless you want to run an earlier version of Windows that cannot read NTFS partitions. For additional information about the differences between the FAT and NTFS file systems, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
100108  Overview of FAT, HPFS, and NTFS file systems
310525  Description of the FAT32 file system in Windows XP

If the hard disk already contains data, back it up

Make sure that you back up all your important data before you continue. When you partition and format a hard disk, all the data on that partition is permanently deleted. You can view current partition information without deleting your data. For additional information about how to use the backup utility or the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
320820  How to use the Backup utility to back up files and folders in Windows XP Home Edition
309340  How to use Backup to restore files and folders on your computer in Windows XP
293118  How to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard
306186  How to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard from CD-ROM
306187  How to use the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard Disk in Windows XP

If the hard disk has a drive overlay or a disk management program, make sure that it is compatible

If your computer uses drive overlay software for large hard disk support, do not use the Windows XP Setup program to partition or to format the drive until you have verified that Windows XP is compatible with the software. If you have drive overlay software installed, contact the software manufacturer to find out whether it is compatible with Windows XP. If you are not sure whether you have drive overlay software installed, contact the manufacturer of your hard disk drive or motherboard.

If you have software that you want to reinstall, verify that you have the disks

Make sure that you have the original CDs or floppy disks so that you can reinstall the software programs after you partition and format your drive. If you purchased an upgrade for a program, make sure that you have the full version of the original program. Many upgrades for programs require a compliance check before you can install the upgraded product. If you cannot find the original CDs or floppy disks, contact the software manufacturer before you continue.

If you have updated device drivers for peripheral devices, back them up

If you have installed an updated device driver for your peripheral devices (for example, modems and printers), make sure that you back up the new driver for the device to a location other than the drive that you want to format and partition so that you can reinstall it after you install your operating system.

Configure your computer to start from the CD or DVD drive

To start your computer from the Windows XP CD, your computer must be configured to start from the CD or DVD drive. In some cases, you may have to modify your computer's BIOS settings to set this configuration. For information about how to configure your computer to start from the CD or DVD drive, see the documentation that is included with your computer, or contact the computer manufacturer.

If you have a computer that cannot start from the CD or DVD drive and you need to start your computer from the startup disk, make sure that you have the floppy setup disks so that you can run the Setup program from the floppy disk drive. 

Note You can obtain Windows XP Setup boot disks from Microsoft, but only by download. We provide the Setup boot disks so that you can run the Setup program on computers that cannot use a bootable CD-ROM. If you can start your computer from a CD-ROM or from a network-based installation, we strongly recommend that you use those installation methods instead. Future products will no longer support installation by using the Setup boot disks.

How to partition and format the hard disk using the Windows XP Setup program

You can use the Windows XP Setup program to partition and format the hard disk. To do this, use the following steps:

Step 1: Partition the hard disk

  1. Insert the Windows XP CD into your CD or DVD drive, or insert the first Windows XP Setup disk into the floppy disk drive, and then restart the computer to start the Windows XP Setup program.

    Note If you are using the Windows XP Setup disks, insert each additional disk when you are prompted, and then press ENTER to continue after you insert each disk.
  2. If you are prompted, select any options that are required to start the computer from the CD or DVD drive.
  3. If your hard disk controller requires a third-party original equipment manufacturer (OEM) driver, press F6 to specify the driver. For more information about how to use F6 to supply a third-party OEM device driver while the Windows Setup program is running, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    314859  Limited OEM driver support is available with F6 during Windows XP Setup
  4. At the Welcome to Setup page, press ENTER. 

    Note If you are using the Setup disks (six bootable disks), the setup prompts you to insert the Windows XP CD.
  5. Press F8 to accept the Windows XP Licensing Agreement.
  6. If an existing Windows XP installation is detected, you are prompted to repair it. To bypass the repair, press ESC.
  7. All existing partitions and non-partitioned spaces are listed for each physical hard disk. Use the ARROW keys to select an existing partition, or create a new partition by selecting the non-partitioned space where you want to create a new partition. You can also press C to create a new partition using non-partitioned space. 

    Note If you want to create a partition where one or more partitions already exist, you must first delete the existing partition or partitions, and then create the new partition. You can press D to delete an existing partition, and then press L (or press ENTER, and then press L if it is the System partition) to confirm that you want to delete the partition. Repeat this step for each existing partition that you want to include in the new partition. When all the partitions are deleted, select the remaining non-partitioned space, and then press C to create the new partition.
  8. To create the partition with the maximum size, press ENTER. To specify the partition size, type the size in megabytes (MB) for the new partition, and then press ENTER.
  9. If you want to create additional partitions, repeat steps g. and h.
  10. To format the partition and install Windows XP, go to step 2. 

    If you do not want to install Windows XP, press F3 two times to exit the Windows Setup program, and then do not follow the remaining steps in this article. 

    To format the partition without installing Windows XP, use a different utility.

Step 2: Format the hard disk and install Windows XP

  1. Use the ARROW keys to select the partition where you want to install Windows XP, and then press ENTER.
  2. Select the format option that you want to use to format the partition. You can select from the following options:
    • Format the partition by using the NTFS file system (Quick)
    • Format the partition by using the FAT file system (Quick)
    • Format the partition by using the NTFS file system
    • Format the partition by using the FAT file system
    • Leave the current file system intact (no changes)
    Notes
    • If the selected partition is a new partition, the option to leave the current file system intact is not available.
    • If the selected partition is larger than 32 gigabytes (GB), the FAT file system option is not available.
    • If the selected partition is larger than 2 GB, the Windows Setup program uses the FAT32 file system (you must press ENTER to confirm).
    • If the partition is smaller than 2 GB, the Windows Setup program uses the FAT16 file system.
    • If you deleted and created a new System partition, but you are installing Windows XP on a different partition, you are prompted to select a file system for both the System and Startup partitions.
  3. Press ENTER.
  4. After the Windows Setup program formats the partition, follow the instructions that appear on the screen to install Windows XP. After the Windows Setup program is finished and you have restarted the computer, you can use the Disk Management tools in Windows XP to create or format more partitions. For additional information about how to use the Windows XP Disk Management tools to partition and format your hard disk, click the following article number to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
    309000  How to use Disk Management to configure basic disks in Windows XP

Additional notes

Before you can install an operating system such as Windows XP, you must first create a primary partition on the first physical hard disk (Disk 0) on your computer. Then, you can format a file system on that partition to create what is called the System partition. 

Or, you can create a separate partition for the operating system on any physical hard disk. This is known as the Startup partition. The System partition on Disk 0 can also be used as a Startup partition.

how to start online share trading ?

was one among the common man who was watching the market silently but sounds from media and analyst’s everyday crossing decibels. Let me also contribute to that since I have some regular visitors to my site.
Remember it is market psychology that drives the market now and not rationals. When we are emotional we don’t think about what we do and simply utter words and the market is behaving in the same way.
As I always said don’t be a herd in the market. Have your own taste of success or failure in the stock market. If you really study the fundamentals of the company not by Ratios or High funda financial terms but by common knowledge it will form the basis first in most of the times.
First let me put my views on the market.
What’s the reason for Bull Run till now?
It’s simple. The value of Indian companies were reaching heights because we had investors buying from outside.
We have to agree that it was over valued to a certain extent because of the bullish mentality of FIIs and the credit availability terms they had like less interest rates etc.
What happened suddenly and markets became bearish?
When credit was tightened and interest rates were hiked in US most of the mortgage loans were on floating rate and many people defaulted.
  • This led to liquidity crises for lenders.
  • There arouse a demand for money in US market.
  • FIIs so who needed money started to sell their investments in India to get back money for their livelihood and hence notional value of Indian stocks are going done.
  • Indian economy is certainly insulated.
  • Indian economy in terms of imports is not much dependent on US.
The good part of the story is that unlike China, which had an export oriented economy, the Indian economy was based on the domestic market. The India’s trade theory is changing a lot as it is turning out to be more of a manufacturing export oriented country. The net trade of services done by India accounts to about just 22% just reflecting the risk on trade services is tried to be minimized. Also in the current scenario the trade practices of India with US has decreased and on the other hand has relatively increased with China reflecting out that the risk of US recession has been deflected.
Also recent crisel research indicates
  • Indian banks have limited vulnerability. (CRISIL RESEARCH).
  • Indian banks’ global exposure is relatively small.
  • International assets at about 6% of total assets.
  • Even banks with international operations have less than 11% of their total assets outside India.
  • The reported investment exposure of Indian banks to troubled international financial institutions of about $1 billion is also very small.
What’s Behind Indian Companies?
Indian companies’ notional value of its share prices has gone down but nothing like mortgage crises in US.
They are strong on the asset base and in terms of fundamentals.
Just take a company like HERO HONDA. Just let’s look from layman point of view. I had invested two years back and it never went up and it is going up now. In an average Indian mindset this bike is something very common. The availability of credit will impact the sales but it won’t have a drastic impact since it is almost a necessity as far as Indian market is concerned when compared to other industry. I am not saying blindly buy by this. Take this as core then do all fundamental and technical analysis and ponder on it.
Indian companies’ debt equity ratios are decent. Nothing like there is an internal failure in terms of technology or accounting malpractice.
Only thing is companies in IT sector got projects from US and when their economy is down no projects and hence no profit and its effect will be there in other industry as well.
So the basic thing is that there is money problem which Indian investors thought that their investments will go up but no one to buy their portfolios. Others who has gained some profit turned towards safer side seeing the risk in the market.
RBI measures will benefit banks on short run and companies on short run  but the pumped in 1.4 lakh crores by CRR cut and others will be useful for stabilization if the companies  gain back their  money which they have as inventories before the money pumped by RBI is eroded as working capital.
This is a slow process and it will take nearly a year for the positive sentiment to gain back in the market but our companies are fundamentally strong with less overseas exposure in their investments in the collapsed financial institutions.

How to Make Voice Command Programs in Visual Basic

Twenty-first century computer technology allows users to talk to their computers. Speech recognition software converts human speech into digital data that computers can recognize. Several commercial products, such as Dragon NaturallySpeaking and MacSpeech, allow users to perform a variety of speech recognition tasks. Using software built into Microsoft's Visual Studio development environment, you can create your own voice command programs using the latest version of Visual Basic.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Launch Microsoft Visual Studio and click "New Project" to open the "New Project" window. Click "Visual Basic" to highlight it, and then double-click "Windows Forms Application" to create a new Windows forms project. Code files will appear on the right side of the user interface in the Solution Navigator panel. An empty form named "Form1" will also appear on the user interface.
  2. 2
    Click "Project," and then click "Add Reference" to display the "Add Reference" pop-up window. Type "Speech" (without the quotes) in the text box and press "Enter." The name "System.Speech" will appear in the search results. Click "Add" to add it to your project, and then click "Close" to close the "Add Reference" window.
  3. 3
    Double-click the title bar of the empty form named "Form1." This causes Visual Studio to open a code window and display the following code:



    Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles MyBase.Load



    End Sub



    This method, named "Form1_Load," executes when the application starts and loads the form.
  4. 4
    Add the following code before the "End Sub" statement shown in the previous step:



    Dim engine As New Speech.Recognition.SpeechRecognitionEngine

    Dim dictionGrammar As New Speech.Recognition.DictationGrammar

    Dim recognitionResult As Speech.Recognition.RecognitionResult

    Dim timeSpan As New TimeSpan(0, 0, 10)



    engine.SetInputToDefaultAudioDevice()

    engine.LoadGrammar(dictionGrammar)



    recognitionResult = engine.Recognize(timeSpan)



    For Each word As RecognizedWordUnit In recognitionResult.Words

    MessageBox.Show(word.Text)

    Next



    The first four lines initialize the Microsoft speech recognition engine. Line five sets the engine's audio input parameters. Line six tells Visual Basic to use the standard speech recognition dictionary that Windows uses. The line that begins with "recognitionResult" starts the speech recognition engine. The final three lines of code display the words that the program recognizes when someone speaks into a microphone.
  5. 5
    Connect a microphone to your computer, and press the "F5" key to launch the application.
  6. 6
    Speak several words into the microphone. The "engine.Recognize(timeSpan)" code will capture your words and store them in the variable named "recognitionResult." Visual Basic will then display your words in a pop-up window.



How to Get Internet Jobs

How to Get Internet Jobs

If you'd like to work from home, you'd probably love to find a job on the Internet, right? After all, if you can work on the internet, you should be able to work from the comfort of your own home instead of going in to an office or work place each day. And it's this same reason that many people are always on the lookout for internet jobs they can do.

Now, there are actually many jobs on the internet, but they're not always easy to find, and they might not always look exactly like you'd expect them to. Many internet jobs for instance, are not technically jobs that you get a steady paycheck for. Instead, most jobs on the internet tend to be temporary work, and work for freelance contractors. This allows companies to hire people for completing their jobs on the internet, without having to pay them a full time salary with benefits.

Many internet jobs also involve providing a service of some kind. Writing is a common job that can be found on the internet for instance, and being a writer usually means you'll need to create custom content for your internet jobs, clients, or employers. Programming is another common job done on the internet, and so is customer or technical support - all of which involve providing some level of service or another.

There are plenty of jobs which allow you to work on the internet, but those often involve reporting for work as scheduled at a specific office or workplace location. With these jobs, your clocked in for a the required eight or ten hours a day, sitting at a desk in a cubicle, and using your employers equipment.

Most people who want to find a job on the internet though, really want to find internet jobs that let them work from home, set their own hours, and maybe have more time for their families. If this is the type of internet job you're looking for too, then you'll need to modify your definition of a job slightly.

To get jobs on the internet, you have to be willing to become a freelancer or independant contractor. Now there are exceptions to this rule, but those opportunities are very rare, so we're discussing internet jobs in the general sense here.

Since internet jobs are often short term project related assignments, employers don't usually hire full time employees to do those jobs. Instead, they hire someone who does freelance work on the internet, pays them a set agreed upon fee, and doesn't have to pay anything else once the job is completed. The great thing about temporary internet jobs like this though, is that you can often have several jobs going at once, and you can choose to work whatever hours you'd like.

One of the best ways to find internet jobs for freelancers and contractors, is to visit one or more of the freelance project websites. Sometimes there is a fee to join these, but you'll find there are many new internet jobs posted almost every day, and you can compete with other job seekers to be the winning contractor.

How to Register a Domain Name


This article demonstrates how to register a domain name. A domain name is the thing that looks like my-domain-name.com. If you intend to create a website, you will need to know how to register a domain name.
Registering a domain name is no different to any other online purchase - you simply add it to your shopping cart, then head to the checkout.

Where Can I Register a Domain Name?

You register your domain name through a domain name registrar (or partner site) like ZappyHost.
To register your domain name, enter your preferred domain into the search form. If it's available, simply proceed to the checkout. ZappyHost will walk you through the registration step by step.

Step by Step

Here's more detail on registering your domain name.
  1. Check Availability (opens in new window) This is where you check that your preferred domain name hasn't already been registered by somebody else. A domain name can only be registered to one person at any one time, so if someone else has already registered it, you won't be able to (or you can put it on back order). Of course, the good thing about this is that, once you register your own domain name, nobody else can get it - it's yours for as long as you want it to be!
    To check availability, go to ZappyHost, enter your preferred domain into the search form, and click "GO!".
  2. If the domain is not available, try again using an alternative name.
  3. If the domain is available, continue to checkout. This part is just like purchasing any other product online. You simply follow the prompts through to the checkout. You may be offered related products, such as similar domain names or different top level domains. To add these to your order, click "YES! Add these to my order.". Otherwise click "Continue to checkout".
    Note that you must supply up to date contact details. Domain name registrars won't let you register a domain name without providing these details. This is a requirement by ICANN (see below for info on ICANN).

Who is the Worldwide Authority for Domain Names?

The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) is the organization responsible for top-level domains. Top level domains include .com, .org, .net, and much more.
Although ICANN is responsible for top-level domains, you can't actually go directly through them to register your domain name. You have to go through an accredited domain name registrar or partner site (such as ZappyHost).
ICANN operates the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and is in charge of maintaining the DNS root zone.

About Domain Name Registrars

Domain name registrars are companies accredited by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) and/or by a national ccTLD authority to register Internet domain names. These companies are often web hosting companies who offer a range of website-related services.
Again, ZappyHost is an example of a web hosting company offering domain names.

how To access internet through mobile

Mobile email access is easier now than how it used to be. Web searching is possible by phone and you can easily answer important emails even if you have no laptop or WiFi access in the area. Internet connection is possible over the mobile phone and although this method has been accessible for many years now, not many people maximize this option.
  1. Using mobile phones as modems - Cell phones can be utilized as computer modems. Laptops are attached to these cell phones and Internet mobile access is possible. Cell phone modem speeds are fast but are still generally slower than regular Internet providers. The mobile phones come with an installation CD that includes tools for connecting to the Internet.
  2. Connecting via GPRS - Internet access on your mobile or mobile broadband is possible by connecting via GPRS (General Packet Radio Service). GPRS 2.5G is a packet-switching service. It allows you to access the Internet by sending packets of data over the Internet. You can send and receive email with GPRS. It supports WAP, SMS text messaging and other data communications. When you click on the Web icon on your mobile phone, you get connected to the Internet.
  3. Using EDGE technology - There are mobile phones carrying EDGE 2.5G technology. Data transfers under GPRS service reaches 171 Kbps while EDGE 2.5G can send data at speeds of 473 Kbps. Mobile phones with 2.5G technology are configured to GPRS or EDGE, depending on the mobile phone service provider that you are using. AT&T Wireless Mobile Internet, VoiceStream IStream and Cingular Wireless Internet Express offer voice plans with GPRS. Depending on the network and service plan of your mobile service provider, when you click on your mobile phone's Web icon, it automatically connects to the Internet.
  4. Connecting via 3G technology - The UMTS (3G) protocol, CDMA (3G) and HSDPA 3.5G (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access) service are used for mobile Internet access. Statistics indicate that you can connect to the Internet at land-line speeds or even faster using any of these next-generation wireless networks. HSDPA can send and receive data at the rate of 1.8 Mbps and can even reach a maximum data rate of 14.4 Mbps. Verizon Wireless and AT&T Wireless have 3G services accompanying their voice plans. These plans may range from paying a $30-$35 surcharge to your regular voice plan or getting a $50 plan that will be inclusive of all costs, voice calls and data downloads.
  5. Accessing the Internet using mobile phone networks - There are other technologies now available, which include aircards, the EV-DO and Wi-Max. Aircards are PC cards serving as wireless modems that connect to the Internet using the mobile networks. Various types of aircards are being offered by mobile phone providers like Verizon, Sprint and AT&T together with their service plans. Using CDMA technology, aircards can reach speeds of 30-40 Kbps.
Cellular phone networks are promising better coverage for both voice and Internet services and more people are aware that they may access the Internet using their mobile phones. The future certainly looks bright for mobile phones.

How to Upload to an FTP Server

FTP, or File Transfer Protocol, is a method of storing and retrieving files remotely over a network connection. In any FTP connection, there are two participants: the FTP server, which holds the remote files, and the FTP client, which uploads or downloads the files from the server. Files can be uploaded to an FTP server via one of two methods: using an FTP software program such as FileZilla, or by using a web browser.

Instructions

  1. 1
    If using a software program, connect to the server using its IP address. This should be provided to you by your IT department, or by the owner of the FTP server.
  2. 2
    If using a web browser, connect to the server using either its IP address or its DNS location. FTP sites and servers are designated by the "ftp://" in front of the address, rather than "http://".
  3. 3
    Log in if necessary. Some FTP servers allow anonymous logins, which do not require a username or password.
  4. 4
    Most FTP client software programs use a drag-and-drop interface for ease of use. Simply drag the file to be uploaded from your hard drive to the directory on the server. The file will be transferred.
  5. 5
    If using a web browser interface, use the buttons in the HTML form to browse to the file you wish to upload, and click "Upload." The file will be transferred.
