Networks Using the electrical outlets with Devolo

dLAN 200 AVsmart + is the latest solution from Devolo, which helps you to build networks through the electrical outlets in the home. Instead of pulling new cables throughout your house or apartment, you can use the existing electrical wiring in a smart way.
It is possible to use electric wiring in homes to sending data traffic over, and it is a technique that has been used since long back. My father - who is an electrician - said they did so already in the 70s, when they installed the alarm. In the early 2000s made testing of delivering broadband over power lines. The people I talked to then thought it worked well, but unfortunately, the project down.
In short, it is about sending data traffic at a different frequency than electricity is sent on. In other words, the same form of solution used for ADSL, which sends and receives data in two frequency ranges that are outside the area taken up by phone calls. The range to send the data is less than to receive - that's why ADSL has faster downloading than uploading.

Devolo solution to make the network of electric cables is simple. It consists of adapters that you plug into a standard electrical outlet near your network drive, and then connect a network cable from the adapter to the device you want to connect to the network - be it a computer, a network hard drives, printers, video games (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 or Nintendo Wii to take an example) or a media player to the TV
dLAN 200 AVsmart + is the latest installment in the series, and the big news is that there is a display of the adapters, which you can see on what devices are connected.You can know from up to nine units on display, including the one you read on. It facilitates such fellösning.
The technology of the dLAN 200 AVsmart + encrypt traffic, to neighbors, not hypothetically, be able to connect to your network (which is good in apartments that share network). The solution also has line filter to prevent interference from other devices connected to the mains. The speed is up to 200 Mbps - in theory. How fast it goes in practice, we can not answer because we have not tested it.

dLAN 200 AVsmart + comes with two adapters, two Ethernet cables and a CD with software. The software shall be unnecessary to do a basic installation of the network.The target price is 1500 SEK.

Ipred scared the Swedes to legally download

When Ipred Act was introduced on 1 April this year, Internet traffic fell by 40 percent overnight. Many of the Swedes finished downloading movies and music illegally. Now, traffic is back on the same level, but it is not the same traffic ...
Ipred Act was extremely controversial when it was launched. The law is there to copyright holders to find out who has downloaded their works from the Internet, by going to court and require ISPs to disclose clients that have used an IP number at any given time.
In practice, this is technically curious, since it is impossible to know the person who has used an IP address, just the account that was used. If you have a wireless network at home, which is not safe, neighbors can connect via it and then it's account owners who have problems on Ipred law is used. Nor is it possible to tell who sat at the computer. So the evidence is rather difficult.
Not make it easier to Internet service providers have begun to clean up their statistics .Many of the major Internet service providers will only store information about the IP number in a week, something that is too short for the law to be used properly.

Scared Swedes

But this does not eliminate the fact that it is illegal to download copyrighted material from the Internet in the form of film, music, books and other items. The law had an effect similar to the crazy lawsuits that have occurred in the U.S., where the music and film industry has used scare tactics by meeting individuals in multi-millionand then spent the judges in the media to talk about what can happen.
So when the law was put into service April 1 internal traffic dropped like a stone .Searches on bittorrent, uTorrent and other keywords related to file sharing to do, was halved in one day. The Swedes did not dare longer to download from The Pirate Bay for example.
Reports indicate today that illegal file sharing is returning. Many users have started to download music and movies again. But numbers are not back to what it was before Ipred.

Legally movies and music

However, Internet traffic back on the same level. This has not just piracy to do, but is largely a matter of legal downloading. When you no longer dare to download illegally, the Swedes started to look into the legal options. A good example is Spotify, which many people today use to listen to music.

In the movie business, there is nothing quite as attractive alternatives yet. Webservice Headweb, where you can stream video to the computer, appears to be the driveway with the contract with the film industry. Voddler, which is much like Spotify fixed on film, however, seems to go bad at the moment .
When I have done unscientific survey among my friends, is the very many who have switched to completely using Spotify instead of torrent sites. In film and television has almost finished downloading. Instead, the service that streams via digital TV, which is used by many. SF Anytime and the like allows you to watch movies at any time directly on your TV
It also looks as if the Swedes are increasingly starting to go to the video retailer to rent and buy movies. In an article in Aftonbladet says video distributor Bonver that increased the number of buy-DVDs with 20 percent and rents DVDs by 30-40 percent, compared to the same month last year.
How do you do for yourself today? Have you left piratnerladdningen for other services, and what services are there when you use?

Test: Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010

Norton Internet Security 2010 from Symantec is the new version of the world's probably most well-known security package. This year has trimmed the software package further, and brought several smart features to protect against new threats that come from the Internet.
Security companies have been asked to start thinking about when they build their antivirus software. Viruses do not work at all the same today as it did a few years ago. In 2003 they found about five new viruses a day. Today it released about 25 000 different types of viruses, trojans, worms and other dangerous code - every day! Viruses write about themselves and create new versions automatically, to make it more difficult to identify them.
In order to offer better protection against today's dangers on the Internet is no longer just relying on the so-called definition lists , or signature files. These are databases containing information on all registered viruses. In order to keep their antivirus software needs to continually update this list. Are we a couple of years back in time this took place about once per day. Norton Internet Security 2010 update itself about every five minutes.

But this is not enough. Therefore, antivirus programs today are increasingly moved towards the work in the cloud. By this means, briefly, the program communicates with the manufacturers' servers, thereby exchanging user information about files that are downloaded from the Internet. This is done automatically and there is nothing you need to worry about, but it gives you just simply a much safer and better protected.
Symantec technology called Quorum. Today there are tens of millions of Norton users worldwide sharing of information. Loot a dangerous file by a user in Costa Rica, another user in Säffle be protected against this in minutes. This is totally the way to go.

5 required software for your new mini PC

A minicomputer is far from the same performance as a regular laptop or a desktop computer. Therefore länmpar it not to install the program at any time.Here are tips on saving and five free tools you need!

Today was the fourth consumer PCs solda mini computer. It is therefore to note that the genre has been a success. As I wrote in my buying guide to minicomputers to be a mini-computer is seen as a complement to your regular PC or Mac. These inexpensive computers for efficient performance to run some heavy applications. The main objective is to use the Internet - surf, email and so on .
But there are a few programs you might need that are not online. Below I list five of my favorite program I run on my own mini PC Asus Eee PC 901 Go. They are very good, completely free and resource-efficient enough to run on a small computer.

Panda Cloud Antivirus

I tested several different antivirus programs on my small laptop. What I find works smoothly, as it draws less performance and stays quietly in the background, is Panda Antivirus Cloud. Antivirus software works, however much of the Internet, so it's best for you to stay connected with your mini computer. As an alternative, I recommend Avast.

AbiWord

Running Microsoft Office on a mini-computer is rarely indicated, especially the newer versions. Usually you only need a word processor and then there are better choices.AbiWord is strongly reminiscent of earlier versions of Microsoft Word. It is easy to understand and is even though it is so small, a very powerful word processor. AbiWord is fully compatible with Word , which means you can easily open and save Word documents. Want a full Office Suite, I recommend OpenOffice .

Paint.NET

For imaging is Paint.NET is a good choice. It is well designed and has all the basics, and then some, to be able to edit your digital photos. You can get to the pictures, resizing, cropping and so on. Paint.NET has many automatic features, for instance to correct the contrast in a photo with just one mouse click.

Networx

If you use mobile broadband in your mini PC gives Networx you useful information on how fast your broadband is and how much traffic you have sent respektivve received. This is handy as mobile broadband, which generally have limits on how much you can transfer per month, before the rate cut. On holiday abroad is networkx need to see how much it will cost. Mobile Internet abroad can be as well known to be very expensive.

Google Chrome

Many users find that Google Chrome works better than Firefox on a lean mini computer. If you do not usually surf with many tabs up, this is probably because Chrome will not use that much RAM. However, it may be worthwhile to test even the Internet exported 8 and Opera 10 (which also has a turbo mode for slower computers and Internet connections). Maybe they work better for you?

What exactly is a mini computer ?

Minicomputers has become this year's trend. Everyone seems to want to have such a tiny laptop, and it is usually so low that there is little investment. But what exactly is a mini computer?

The trend of mini-computers began with the Asus launched its Eee PC 700. It was a tiny laptop that cost over 3000 dollars. Asus had thought that the computer was for younger users, school children, for example, but it turned out to be a much larger audience. Soon it was a success, and Asus tagged on with an increasing number of different models of Eee PC series. Other computer manufacturers were quick to give out the mini-computers.
Minicomputers known in English netbooks, And the name refers to that there is a Notebook (laptop, Laptop computer) that is designed to run Internet applications. It is precisely here that many consider wrong. A minicomputer can not replace your regular computer. It is not you supposed to run Microsoft Office or Photoshop on a minicomputer. In fact, it barely goes, because of poor performance.

The purpose of the computer is to be a complement to an ordinary computer. Mini Computer, you can easily take anywhere, and you use it for browsing. Sure, the computers used by Windows (Primarily XP) so there is nothing stopping you from installing common applications for photo editing or watching movies, but it's rare performance can do it very well.
Mini computers have a screen in between 7-12 inches. Today is the 10-inch models that apply. During the 10-inch screen is too small, and it appeared that consumers were not interested in mini-computers with screens larger than 10 inches, so many computer manufacturers have chosen to stop producing such models. The larger the screen, the greater the computer, and then disappear a little point of order to bring it everywhere.
The specifications are similar for all mini computers. A processor of type Intel Atom at 1.6 GHz, 1 GB of internal memory and a hard disk of 120-160 GB. There is no optical drive is not, but if you want a DVD burner you can buy an external that which can be connected via USB. Normally there are three USB ports, VGA port for connecting an external monitor (which is quite meaningless because mini-computers video card can not handle the resolution), and often a memory card reader (as a rule of SD card). Wireless NIC there always.
I personally am a big fan of mini-computers. I have one Asus Eee PC 901 Go, Which I use when I'm on the road. It is extremely convenient because it has built 3G modem. I have a subscription for the mobile Internet, so it is enough to open your computer and then start the connection to access the Internet, wherever I am. Because the computer is not so much bigger than an ordinary book, it is perfectly fine to take it anywhere. And when Apple Macbook Pro battery life is 6-7 hours, I can manage my time.
I can highly recommend a mini-computer if you want a small PC that you can surf on. Whether you want to have it with you in your bag wherever you go, or if you just want the front of the TV But try your computer in a store before buying it. Keyboard, mouse and screen varies a lot, so it's not worth taking chances and buy a pig in cochlea.

Symantec Norton 2010 working in the cloud

Symantec launches Norton Internet Security 2010 , Norton AntiVirus 2010 andNorton Internet Security 2010 Netbook Edition . The new versions of security programs have become more resource efficient, and am now in the cloud for faster effect.

The year 2010 trends in security packages shows that they are becoming less costly , faster and quieter, and they start working in the cloud . The latter means that programs communicate with the security company's servers to quickly locate seconds dangerous code. That way, you escape having to update their antivirus programs and gives you a more effective protection.

Symantec's solution to work in the cloud is named to the Quorum . In the beginning was based on grading of Amazon.com, where users can talk about just in case a book is good or bad. The same solution would implement in Symantec's virus protection - in which users reported a good or bad programming. But most people know so clearly not on the files they download are good or bad, and do not want to bother with this. A security program should be silent in the background.
At Symantec has developed a solution that allows users to anonymously send over information about the files they download, the security company's servers, where an analysis is made. If the file is considered dangerous , it will be recorded as this, and therefore warned all other users whenever they download the same file. This is thanks to the work of the cloud and the direct communication between säkerhtesprogrammet and servers. Learn more about Quorum of Symentec .
According to a review by PassMark Software , Norton Internet Security 2010 installs in about a minute. The program takes about 10 MB of internal memory and it can scan the hard drive of some minutes.
Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010 and Norton AntiVirus 2010 are available for purchase via the web for 799 SEK or 599 SEK. Both packages include licenses for three computers, which is great if you have multiple computers at home.

Guide to buying an external hard drive

An external hard drive is perfectly fine to make use of if you want to make backups of data in a simple way or if you want to move large amounts of data between computers.
The prices of external hard drives are very diverse. While the simplest models only cost a few hundred pieces, there are advanced models that cost several hundred dollars. Lagringsutrymmets size is of course an important factor in current prices, but also the physical size of disk,cache , rotational speed, and more into play. Generally, 3.5-inch disks cheaper than the 2.5-inch disks .
3.5-inch format is the size most commonly used as internal hard drives in desktop computers are concerned. External hard drives in this format usually have a power adapter. 2.5-inch disks can often be powered directly by the USB cable that you use to connect your hard drive to your computer. There is also this size of hard drives used in laptops. Are you looking for a dish that is quick to connect and want to avoid unnecessary clutter, it is probably a 2.5-inch disk to buy.
Performance
As for the performance of your hard drive you should buy it in addition to the storage size in particular hard drive's rotational speed, seek time and cache size, you'll look closely at.
In the case of the rotational speed is usually the most often be lower in 2-5-inch disks than in the 3.5-inch disks. Avoid drives where the rotational speed is 4500 RPM or lower. The higher the rotational speed you have on your hard drive, the shorter seek time and better performance.
The cache memory on the hard disk is a temporary memory where data is stored in anticipation of your computer to assimilate the information requested. When using a program that is very disk intensive, such as video editing software or music recording, playing cache extra large role. In the current situation, you should have a minimum of 8 MB, preferably 16 MB cache on your drive.
Connection
There are several ways to connect an external hard drive. Firewire , USB and eSATAare the options available and these are ESATA the fastest option. So far, however, relatively few computers that are equipped with an eSATA port and the speed Firewire (800 Mbps) and USB 2 (480Mbps) offers is perfectly adequate for most needs.
In particular PriceSpy and Pricerunner, you can find lots of external hard drives with different specifications of the various different manufacturers.

Tiny Bluetooth Adapter from Sandberg

If your laptop does not have Bluetooth built in, you need an adapter. The problem is that most are quite large and must be plugged in and out when the computer is added in the bag. Sandberg launches a tiny adapter that also supports faster Bluetooth 2.0.
Mini Bluetooth Dongle is the name of the new Bluetooth adapter from the distributor Sandberg IT. It connects to an available USB 2.0 port on your computer and sticking out just a few millimeters from the gate, so you do not need to unplug it when you shut down your laptop in your bag.
Other advantages to having the adapters that do not stick out so far, is that you do not accidentally put your hand or anything else on it. It is among the most common Orsk to computer problem - the USB connectors have been bent up or down, leading to the port and hence the motherboard bends and at worst broken.

"That is how the world is. Stuff will be small and practical, but still work perfectly.Here we have the unique advantage that you can let the adapter remain attached to the USB socket at all times, even when you pack down your computer in a bag.We forget completely that it sits in and gets used to having Bluetooth as a natural part of the computer, when you for example want to connect to the Internet during a train journey without having to pick up your phone and put in a lot of cables. "-Erling Hoff Petersen , Sandberg IT, in a statement.

Mini Bluetooth Dongle supports Bluetooth 2.0 + EDR, providing a maximum speed of 3 Mbps, three times as fast as "regular" Bluetooth. The adapter will have full support for all devices and headsets. Unfortunately this is not the case with all Bluetooth adapters on the market.
Facts about Mini Bluetooth Dongle:

• Contact: Sandberg IT
• Target price: SEK 219
• Interface: USB 2.0
• Technology: Bluetooth 2.0, up to 3 Mbps
