Bugs – Bugs everywhere


bugs

 

Computer bugs are everywhere and they can appear at any time. Some can be hardware or software related. Once the issues have been diagnosed only then can a remedy be applied.  Today I am going over what is a bug and what it means to you?

 

 

 

 

 

 

A bug is an unexpected problem with hardware or software. Bugs are usually crashes that stop a devices operation. Any electronic devices are susceptible to problems. Anything from cell phones, computers, to software programs. Software related errors are more in tuned with the programming aspect.  Hardware related errors can occur from compatibility issues and missing drivers.

 

 

There is no such thing as bug-free program. If you’ve played a video game then yes, you have seen a bug. When bugs are discovered, software bugs are fixed by installing patches and hardware bugs are fixed with updates or drivers. For example Microsoft releases updates on a daily basis to fix problems.

Last words & how you can help!!

Hardware bugs are often fixed by replacing the hardware device. Some problems are simple to fix while others can take years to address. Sometimes they may never be fixed. How you can help is to submit a bug report. Most companies have programmers on hand to fix & address future bugs. This is one of the best ways to make programs run better and efficiently.

What is the difference between an error and bug?

An error is a message shown to the user of a program, and a bug is a problem in the code that is causing the error to be shown.

ISP – How to choose a great Internet service provider?

 

ISP

Choosing the right internet service provider (ISP) is a lot tougher than you think. There are many factors you must consider before making a decision. Factors such as cost, availability reliability, features, and customer service. All of these options should be taken into account.

 

 

 

 

The most important deciding factor is cost. Who wants to pay more money for a service that offers an inferior product or terrible service. Keep in mind some ISP’s require a yearly contract to be locked into a special rate. Always evaluate your readiness to pay for the service you want. Do not be afraid to negotiate on the price. Lastly pay attention to how long the price will be available for. The price your paying right maybe cheap but that can change in a year’s time.

Next up is availability. Some companies may only offer service in select areas. This can severely limit your options. The types of internet connections available are DSL, Cable, Satellite, and believe it or not dial-up.

 

 

 

 

Reliability is very important as well. Nobody likes to lose internet service on a daily basis. In the event this does happen, how fast can the ISP get it up and operational? That is the question and not only that what is there response time to fix the issue?

 

What features are currently available? Such as TV, Internet, and home phone service. All of these options should be considered before choosing an ISP. Always consider what your needs are, and go for it. If a service isn’t available don’t be afraid to ask.

Last words!!!

Last and most importantly customer service. Nothing kills a business faster than a company that offers terrible customer service. Service is the backbone of any company and should be top priority.

The face of social networking has changed the way we communicate today. From meeting new people to reaching out to old friends. There’s literally something for everybody. There are both good & bad experiences. Make sure you’re on the positive side of things.

From it’s humble beginning there were chat rooms from AOL & Yahoo. Starting around the late 90’s to early 2000’s. From instant messaging to text messaging. While many have come and gone, the need to reach out to people is still there. With that said social networking is here to stay.

Next spawned social networking sites like Tagged, MyYearbook, Hi-5, Netlog- Mocospace, Facebook, Myspace. Each website has their own distinctive looks and fan base. Some of these sites are still around today. Some have changed & adapted to stay relevant today.

For example remember MySpace? It was largely popular at the time but lost it’s bearings to Facebook. Failure to keep up with the competition means disaster for any company. Those that make smart & inventive changes survive and others fail.

Since 2004, the growth of social media has been very expansive. Today Facebook is at the top of the food chain. With a stunning 2 billion active users monthly, no other platform comes close. Google is currently implementing there on changes as well. If you have a Gmail account, or Google+ account you can look forward to new features. Such as more security, and greater integration across platforms. Google is paving the way without any slowdown.

Windows 10 – Hate it or love it

Windows 10

Windows 10 is the latest version of Microsoft’s operating system. It is the culmination of previous operating system from Windows 7 to Windows 8.1. It sports new and improved features along with a revamped interface. It has been a long and bumpy road fine tuning this operating system. Now it’s safe to say this version is more complete. Personally it took some time before this version of Windows took hold of me. After major changes it is now in the right direction.

Keep in mind there are some privacy settings you should be aware of before using.

 

These settings listed in the picture above are available when you first use a Windows 10 based PC. Make sure you turn these settings off even though some settings can only do so much. The question to ask is has these settings been available in previous versions of Windows? I wouldn’t doubt it at this rate. After getting though these settings everything else is smooth sailing.

 

How is the performance ?

 

The system performance of Windows 10 is top-notch allowing for better performance and quicker start time. Another plus is that the system requirements for Windows 10 isn’t that high. Many lower end systems can take advantage of the upgrade. Be aware there may not be driver updates for your current hardware. As well as any bugs or future problems. So if you are currently using Windows 10 be sure to leave a comment. If you have any questions on how to do something just let me know.
