			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Have you ever been using your computer and your system sudddenly stops responding in ways like it if you try to open something it just hangs? One time I tried deleting a folder and it said it was in use, but it really wasn&#8217;t. If this ever happens to you, you can follow these simple steps to &#8216;reboot&#8217; your computer without &#8216;rebooting&#8217; it.</p>
	<p>Press CRTL + ALT + DEL</p>
	<p>Goto the &#8216;processes&#8217; tab and click explorer.exe once and then click &#8216;end process&#8217;.</p>
	<p>Now, click File &gt; New Task and type explorer.exe</p>
	<p>Everything should be fine now! If the problem is major, I would recomend actually shutting down then starting up again.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Has this ever happened to you?</p>
	<p>You&#8217;re looking for something on a long web page with Internet Explorer or Netscape. You think it&#8217;s there, but you&#8217;re faced with seemingly insurmountable number of paragraphs, sentences, and words to hunt though.</p>
	<p>Well, next time this happens to you, hit the Edit menu, Find (or CTRL-F for you shortcut lovers). You&#8217;ll get a handy little &quot;find&quot; box that lets you type in a specific word. After you type in your search term, hit the Find Next button and Explorer will look for that word on the page. If it&#8217;s successful, you&#8217;ll be zapped right to it.</p>
	<p>As if that wasn&#8217;t cool enough, you can also use a variation of this tip in Windows Explorer. Next time you&#8217;re looking for a file in Explorer, hit CRTL-F and you&#8217;ll get a Find or Search box (depending on what flavor of Windows you&#8217;re using).</p>
	<p>If you are already in the area of your hard drive where you think the file is (say, My Documents), hit CTRL-F and your search will be set to look in the My Documents sfolder.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>The Internet is a computer network made up of thousands of networks worldwide. No one knows exactly how many computers are connected to the Internet. It is certain, however, that these number in the millions.No one is in charge of the Internet. There are organizations which develop technical aspects of this network and set standards for creating applications on it, but no governing body is in control. The Internet backbone, through which Internet traffic flows, is owned by private companies.All computers on the Internet communicate with one another using the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite, abbreviated to TCP/IP. Computers on the Internet use a client/server architecture. This means that the remote server machine provides files and services to the user&#8217;s local client machine. Software can be installed on a client computer to take advantage of the latest access technology.</p>
	<p>An Internet user has access to a wide variety of services: electronic mail, file transfer, vast information resources, interest group membership, interactive collaboration, multimedia displays, real-time broadcasting, shopping opportunities, breaking news, and much more. The Internet consists primarily of a variety of access protocols. Many of these protocols feature programs that allow users to search for and retrieve material made available by the protocol.</p>
	<p>COMPONENTS OF THE INTERNET</p>
	<p>
<ul>
<li>WORLD WIDE WEB</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><div align="left">The World Wide Web (abbreviated as the Web or WWW) is a system of Internet servers that supports hypertext to access several Internet protocols on a single interface. Almost every protocol type available on the Internet is accessible on the Web. This includes e-mail, FTP, Telnet, and Usenet News. In addition to these, the World Wide Web has its own protocol: HyperText Transfer Protocol, or HTTP. These protocols will be explained later in this document.</div>
</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>The World Wide Web provides a single interface for accessing all these protocols. This creates a convenient and user-friendly environment. It is no longer necessary to be conversant in these protocols within separate, command-level environments. The Web gathers together these protocols into a single system. Because of this feature, and because of the Web&#8217;s ability to work with multimedia and advanced programming languages, the Web is the fastest-growing component of the Internet.<br /></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>The operation of the Web relies primarily on hypertext as its means of information retrieval. HyperText is a document containing words that connect to other documents. These words are called links and are selectable by the user. A single hypertext document can contain links to many documents. In the context of the Web, words or graphics may serve as links to other documents, images, video, and sound. Links may or may not follow a logical path, as each connection is programmed by the creator of the source document. Overall, the Web contains a complex virtual web of connections among a vast number of documents, graphics, videos, and sounds.<br /></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>Producing hypertext for the Web is accomplished by creating documents with a language called HyperText Markup Language, or HTML. With HTML, tags are placed within the text to accomplish document formatting, visual features such as font size, italics and bold, and the creation of hypertext links. Graphics and multimedia may also be incorporated into an HTML document. HTML is an evolving language, with new tags being added as each upgrade of the language is developed and released. The World Wide Web Consortium (W3C), led by Web founder Tim Berners-Lee, coordinates the efforts of standardizing HTML. The W3C now calls the language XHTML and considers it to be an application of the XML language standard.<br /></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>The World Wide Web consists of files, called pages or home pages, containing links to documents and resources throughout the Internet.<br /></blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote>The Web provides a vast array of experiences including multimedia presentations, real-time collaboration, interactive pages, radio and television broadcasts, and the automatic &quot;push&quot; of information to a client computer. Programming languages such as Java, JavaScript, Visual Basic, Cold Fusion and XML are extending the capabilities of the Web. A growing amount of information on the Web is served dynamically from content stored in databases. The Web is therefore not a fixed entity, but one that is in a constant state of development and flux.</p></blockquote>
	<ul>
<li>E-MAIL</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>Electronic mail, or e-mail, allows computer users locally and worldwide to exchange messages. Each user of e-mail has a mailbox address to which messages are sent. Messages sent through e-mail can arrive within a matter of seconds.</p>
	<p>A powerful aspect of e-mail is the option to send electronic files to a person&#8217;s e-mail address. Non-ASCII files, known as binary files, may be attached to e-mail messages. These files are referred to as MIME attachments.MIME stands for Multimedia Internet Mail Extension, and was developed to help e-mail software handle a variety of file types. For example, a document created in Microsoft Word can be attached to an e-mail message and retrieved by the recipient with the appropriate e-mail program. Many e-mail programs, including Eudora, Netscape Messenger, and Microsoft Outlook, offer the ability to read files written in HTML, which is itself a MIME type.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>TELNET</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>Telnet is a program that allows you to log into computers on the Internet and use online databases, library catalogs, chat services, and more. There are no graphics in Telnet sessions, just text. To Telnet to a computer, you must know its address. This can consist of words (locis.loc.gov) or numbers (140.147.254.3). Some services require you to connect to a specific port on the remote computer. In this case, type the port number after the Internet address. Example: telnet nri.reston.va.us 185.</p>
	<p>Telnet is available on the World Wide Web. Probably the most common Web-based resources available through Telnet have been library catalogs, though most catalogs have since migrated to the Web. A link to a Telnet resource may look like any other link, but it will launch a Telnet session to make the connection. A Telnet program must be installed on your local computer and configured to your Web browser in order to work.</p>
	<p>With the increasing popularity of the Web, Telnet has become less frequently used as a means of access to information on the Internet.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>FTP</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>FTP stands for File Transfer Protocol. This is both a program and the method used to transfer files between computers. Anonymous FTP is an option that allows users to transfer files from thousands of host computers on the Internet to their personal computer account. FTP sites contain books, articles, software, games, images, sounds, multimedia, course work, data sets, and more.</p>
	<p>If your computer is directly connected to the Internet via an Ethernet cable, you can use one of several PC software programs, such as WS_FTP for Windows, to conduct a file transfer.</p>
	<p>FTP transfers can be performed on the World Wide Web without the need for special software. In this case, the Web browser will suffice. Whenever you download software from a Web site to your local machine, you are using FTP. You can also retrieve FTP files via search engines such as FtpFind, located at /http://www.ftpfind.com/. This option is easiest because you do not need to know FTP program commands.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>E-MAIL DISCUSSION GROUPS</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>One of the benefits of the Internet is the opportunity it offers to people worldwide to communicate via e-mail. The Internet is home to a large community of individuals who carry out active discussions organized around topic-oriented forums distributed by e-mail. These are administered by software programs. Probably the most common program is the listserv.</p>
	<p>A great variety of topics are covered by listservs, many of them academic in nature. When you subscribe to a listserv, messages from other subscribers are automatically sent to your electronic mailbox. You subscribe to a listserv by sending an e-mail message to a computer program called a listserver. Listservers are located on computer networks throughout the world. This program handles subscription information and distributes messages to and from subscribers. You must have a e-mail account to participate in a listserv discussion group. Visit Tile.net at /http://tile.net/ to see an example of a site that offers a searchablecollection of e-mail discussion groups.</p>
	<p>Majordomo and Listproc are two other programs that administer e-mail discussion groups. The commands for subscribing to and managing your list memberships are similar to those of listserv.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>USENET NEWS</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>Usenet News is a global electronic bulletin board system in which millions of computer users exchange information on a vast range of topics. The major difference between Usenet News and e-mail discussion groups is the fact that Usenet messages are stored on central computers, and users must connect to these computers to read or download the messages posted to these groups. This is distinct from e-mail distribution, in which messages arrive in the electronic mailboxes of each list member.<br />Usenet itself is a set of machines that exchanges messages, or articles, from Usenet discussion forums, called newsgroups. Usenet administrators control their own sites, and decide which (if any) newsgroups to sponsor and which remote newsgroups to allow into the system.<br />There are thousands of Usenet newsgroups in existence. While many are academic in nature, numerous newsgroups are organized around recreational topics. Much serious computer-related work takes place in Usenet discussions. A small number of e-mail discussion groups also exist as Usenet newsgroups.<br />The Usenet newsfeed can be read by a variety of newsreader software programs. For example, the Netscape suite comes with a newsreader program called Messenger. Newsreaders are also available as standalone products.</p></blockquote>
	<ul>
<li>FAQ, RFC, FYI</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>FAQ stands for Frequently Asked Questions. These are periodic postings to Usenet newsgroups that contain a wealth of information related to the topic of the newsgroup. Many FAQs are quite extensive. FAQs are available by subscribing to individual Usenet newsgroups. A Web-based collection of FAQ resources has been collected by The Internet FAQ Consortium and is available at /http://www.faqs.org/.</p>
	<p>RFC stands for Request for Comments. These are documents created by and distributed to the Internet community to help define the nuts and bolts of the Internet. They contain both technical specifications and general information.</p>
	<p>FYI stands for For Your Information. These notes are a subset of RFCs and contain information of interest to new Internet users.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>CHAT &amp; INSTANT MESSENGING</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>Chat programs allow users on the Internet to communicate with each other by typing in real time. They are sometimes included as a feature of a Web site, where users can log into the &quot;chat room&quot; to exchange comments and information about the topics addressed on the site. Chat may take other, more wide-ranging forms. For example, America Online is well known for sponsoring a number of topical chat rooms.</p>
	<p>Internet Relay Chat (IRC) is a service through which participants can communicate to each other on hundreds of channels. These channels are usually based on specific topics. While many topics are frivolous, substantive conversations are also taking place. To access IRC, you must use an IRC software program.</p>
	<p>A variation of chat is the phenomenon of instant messenging. With instant messenging, a user on the Web can contact another user currently logged in and type a conversation. Most famous is America Online&#8217;s Instant Messenger. ICQ, MSN and Yahoo are other commonly-used chat programs.</p>
	<p>Other types of real-time communication are addressed in the tutorial Understanding the World Wide Web.<br /></blockquote>

<ul>
<li>MUD/MUSH/MOO/MUCK/DUM/MUSE</li>
</ul>
	<blockquote><p>MUD stands for Multi User Dimension. MUDs, and their variations listed above, are multi-user virtual reality games based on simulated worlds. Traditionally text based, graphical MUDs now exist. There are MUDs of all kinds on the Internet, and many can be joined free of charge. For more information, read one of the FAQs devoted to MUDs available at the FAQ site at</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Since defragging the disk won&#8217;t do much to improve Windows XP performance, here are 23 suggestions that will. Each can enhance the performance and reliability of your customers&#8217; PCs. Best of all, most of them will cost you nothing.</p>
	<p>1.) To decrease a system&#8217;s boot time and increase system performance, use the money you save by not buying defragmentation software &#8212; the built-in Windows defragmenter works just fine &#8212; and instead equip the computer with an Ultra-133 or Serial ATA hard drive with 8-MB cache buffer.</p>
	<p>2.) If a PC has less than 512 MB of RAM, add more memory. This is a relatively inexpensive and easy upgrade that can dramatically improve system performance.</p>
	<p>3.) Ensure that Windows XP is utilizing the NTFS file system. If you&#8217;re not sure, here&#8217;s how to check: First, double-click the My Computer icon, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Next, examine the File System type; if it says FAT32, then back-up any important data. Next, click Start, click Run, type CMD, and then click OK. At the prompt, type CONVERT C: /FS:NTFS and press the Enter key. This process may take a while; it&#8217;s important that the computer be uninterrupted and virus-free. The file system used by the bootable drive will be either FAT32 or NTFS. I highly recommend NTFS for its superior security, reliability, and efficiency with larger disk drives.</p>
	<p>4.) Disable file indexing. The indexing service extracts information from documents and other files on the hard drive and creates a &quot;searchable keyword index.&quot; As you can imagine, this process can be quite taxing on any system.</p>
	<p>The idea is that the user can search for a word, phrase, or property inside a document, should they have hundreds or thousands of documents and not know the file name of the document they want. Windows XP&#8217;s built-in search functionality can still perform these kinds of searches without the Indexing service. It just takes longer. The OS has to open each file at the time of the request to help find what the user is looking for.</p>
	<p>Most people never need this feature of search. Those who do are typically in a large corporate environment where thousands of documents are located on at least one server. But if you&#8217;re a typical system builder, most of your clients are small and medium businesses. And if your clients have no need for this search feature, I recommend disabling it.</p>
	<p>Here&#8217;s how: First, double-click the My Computer icon. Next, right-click on the C: Drive, then select Properties. Uncheck &quot;Allow Indexing Service to index this disk for fast file searching.&quot; Next, apply changes to &quot;C: subfolders and files,&quot; and click OK. If a warning or error message appears (such as &quot;Access is denied&quot;), click the Ignore All button.</p>
	<p>5.) Update the PC&#8217;s video and motherboard chipset drivers. Also, update and configure the BIOS. For more information on how to configure your BIOS properly, see this article on my site.</p>
	<p>6.) Empty the Windows Prefetch folder every three months or so. Windows XP can &quot;prefetch&quot; portions of data and applications that are used frequently. This makes processes appear to load faster when called upon by the user. That&#8217;s fine. But over time, the prefetch folder may become overloaded with references to files and applications no longer in use. When that happens, Windows XP is wasting time, and slowing system performance, by pre-loading them. Nothing critical is in this folder, and the entire contents are safe to delete.</p>
	<p>7.) Once a month, run a disk cleanup. Here&#8217;s how: Double-click the My Computer icon. Then right-click on the C: drive and select Properties. Click the Disk Cleanup button &#8212; it&#8217;s just to the right of the Capacity pie graph &#8212; and delete all temporary files.</p>
	<p>8.) In your Device Manager, double-click on the IDE ATA/ATAPI Controllers device, and ensure that DMA is enabled for each drive you have connected to the Primary and Secondary controller. Do this by double-clicking on Primary IDE Channel. Then click the Advanced Settings tab. Ensure the Transfer Mode is set to &quot;DMA if available&quot; for both Device 0 and Device 1. Then repeat this process with the Secondary IDE Channel.</p>
	<p>9.) Upgrade the cabling. As hard-drive technology improves, the cabling requirements to achieve these performance boosts have become more stringent. Be sure to use 80-wire Ultra-133 cables on all of your IDE devices with the connectors properly assigned to the matching Master/Slave/Motherboard sockets. A single device must be at the end of the cable; connecting a single drive to the middle connector on a ribbon cable will cause signaling problems. With Ultra DMA hard drives, these signaling problems will prevent the drive from performing at its maximum potential. Also, because these cables inherently support &quot;cable select,&quot; the location of each drive on the cable is important. For these reasons, the cable is designed so drive positioning is explicitly clear.</p>
	<p>10.) Remove all spyware from the computer. Use free programs such as AdAware by Lavasoft or SpyBot Search &amp; Destroy. Once these programs are installed, be sure to check for and download any updates before starting your search. Anything either program finds can be safely removed. Any free software that requires spyware to run will no longer function once the spyware portion has been removed; if your customer really wants the program even though it contains spyware, simply reinstall it. For more information on removing Spyware visit this Web Pro News page.</p>
	<p>11.) Remove any unnecessary programs and/or items from Windows Startup routine using the MSCONFIG utility. Here&#8217;s how: First, click Start, click Run, type MSCONFIG, and click OK. Click the StartUp tab, then uncheck any items you don&#8217;t want to start when Windows starts. Unsure what some items are? Visit the WinTasks Process Library. It contains known system processes, applications, as well as spyware references and explanations. Or quickly identify them by searching for the filenames using Google or another Web search engine.</p>
	<p>12.) Remove any unnecessary or unused programs from the Add/Remove Programs section of the Control Panel.</p>
	<p>13.) Turn off any and all unnecessary animations, and disable active desktop. In fact, for optimal performance, turn off all animations. Windows XP offers many different settings in this area. Here&#8217;s how to do it: First click on the System icon in the Control Panel. Next, click on the Advanced tab. Select the Settings button located under Performance. Feel free to play around with the options offered here, as nothing you can change will alter the reliability of the computer &#8212; only its responsiveness.</p>
	<p>14.) If your customer is an advanced user who is comfortable editing their registry, try some of the performance registry tweaks offered at Tweak XP.</p>
	<p>15.) Visit Microsoft&#8217;s Windows update site regularly, and download all updates labeled Critical. Download any optional updates at your discretion.</p>
	<p>16.) Update the customer&#8217;s anti-virus software on a weekly, even daily, basis. Make sure they have only one anti-virus software package installed. Mixing anti-virus software is a sure way to spell disaster for performance and reliability.</p>
	<p>17.) Make sure the customer has fewer than 500 type fonts installed on their computer. The more fonts they have, the slower the system will become. While Windows XP handles fonts much more efficiently than did the previous versions of Windows, too many fonts &#8212; that is, anything over 500 &#8212; will noticeably tax the system.</p>
	<p>18.) Do not partition the hard drive. Windows XP&#8217;s NTFS file system runs more efficiently on one large partition. The data is no safer on a separate partition, and a reformat is never necessary to reinstall an operating system. The same excuses people offer for using partitions apply to using a folder instead. For example, instead of putting all your data on the D: drive, put it in a folder called &quot;D drive.&quot; You&#8217;ll achieve the same organizational benefits that a separate partition offers, but without the degradation in system performance. Also, your free space won&#8217;t be limited by the size of the partition; instead, it will be limited by the size of the entire hard drive. This means you won&#8217;t need to resize any partitions, ever. That task can be time-consuming and also can result in lost data.</p>
	<p>19.) Check the system&#8217;s RAM to ensure it is operating properly. I recommend using a free program called MemTest86. The download will make a bootable CD or diskette (your choice), which will run 10 extensive tests on the PC&#8217;s memory automatically after you boot to the disk you created. Allow all tests to run until at least three passes of the 10 tests are completed. If the program encounters any errors, turn off and unplug the computer, remove a stick of memory (assuming you have more than one), and run the test again. Remember, bad memory cannot be repaired, but only replaced.</p>
	<p>20.) If the PC has a CD or DVD recorder, check the drive manufacturer&#8217;s Web site for updated firmware. In some cases you&#8217;ll be able to upgrade the recorder to a faster speed. Best of all, it&#8217;s free.</p>
	<p>21.) Disable unnecessary services. Windows XP loads a lot of services that your customer most likely does not need. To determine which services you can disable for your client, visit the Black Viper site for Windows XP configurations.</p>
	<p>22.) If you&#8217;re sick of a single Windows Explorer window crashing and then taking the rest of your OS down with it, then follow this tip: open My Computer, click on Tools, then Folder Options. Now click on the View tab. Scroll down to &quot;Launch folder windows in a separate process,&quot; and enable this option. You&#8217;ll have to reboot your machine for this option to take effect.</p>
	<p>23.) At least once a year, open the computer&#8217;s cases and blow out all the dust and debris. While you&#8217;re in there, check that all the fans are turning properly. Also inspect the motherboard capacitors for bulging or leaks. For more information on this leaking-capacitor phenomena, you can read numerous articles on my site.</p>
	<p>Following any of these suggestions should result in noticeable improvements to the performance and reliability of your customers&#8217; computers. If you still want to defrag a disk, remember that the main benefit will be to make your data more retrievable in the event of a crashed drive.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[	<p>Verizon Wireless announced the availability of V CAST Song ID, an enhancement to the V CAST Music service that allows users to easily identify songs. With V CAST Song ID, when users hear a song, they can capture a sample of what they are listening to on their phone and the service will identify the song. V CAST Song ID also lets consumers purchase the matching full-track song, ringtone or ringback tone over-the-air right from the cell phone.</p>
	<p><img width="600" height="491" border="0" title="" alt="" src="http://sephrylle.blogsome.com/wp-admin/images/IdentifyMusicwithVerizon039sVCASTSongID2.jpg" /></p>
	<p>To use the service, customers only need a V CAST Music-enabled phone to start identifying recorded music playing on the radio, in a club, on the street or from virtually<br />any music source. V CAST Song ID can identify more than four million songs, spanning almost all music genres, from the latest chart toppers to &lsquo;80s rock classics. When the user places the phone near a music source and records a 10-second clip, V CAST Song ID names the artist, song and album title. After successful recognition, the application will determine if the song is available as a full-track song, ringtone or ringback tone and directly launch the Verizon Wireless&rsquo; V CAST Music store where the consumer has the option to purchase and download the track.</p>
	<p>Mike Lanman, Verizon Wireless chief marketing officer, commented: &quot;Launching V CAST Song ID is yet another reason why Americans who want the best mobile music experience are switching to Verizon Wireless. At a time when some of our competitors won&rsquo;t even allow you to download your music over-the-air, Verizon Wireless is pushing forward by offering Song ID for free. We&rsquo;ll help you find the music you love, then make it easy for you to buy.&quot;</p>
	<p>V CAST Song ID is available as a free download on V CAST Music-enabled phones in the Music and Tones section of the Get It Now virtual store. Once downloaded, consumers can use the application for free to identify songs.</p>
