Test: Symantec Norton Internet Security 2010

Posted by admin | news, review, shopping | Tuesday 22 February 2011 10:14 am

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.

Posted by admin | shopping, tips | Tuesday 8 February 2011 9:28 am


Minicomputers are often especially good performance, but with Kingston’s new memory chip HyperX DDR2 SO-DIMMmemory, you better get a new impetus.

Bluray is a useless format

Posted by admin | news, shopping | Wednesday 2 February 2011 10:09 am

When the battle between HD DVD and Blu-ray was over and the dust has settled, it was bluray has stepped forward as the winner. But the question is if the format really is doomed to be a loser?

Bluray was supposed to replace the DVD, which many believe has outlived its usefulness because space is limited to 7.8 GB. There is too little to make room for a high-definition movies. Now afterwards, it has been shown that the average consumer is satisfied with the quality of the DVD, and are not interested in buying new gadgets to get a better picture and sound.

One of the main reasons why bluray is not passed through the price tags. As consumers have had no motivation to buy a player, output has not taken off and pricing has not changed. A Blu-ray players for home theater is a couple hundred dollars and the movies cost a lot more than DVD movies. Add to that the fact that the supply is extremely limited.

But it’s not just in the living room that Bluray would come through. Even in computers, it has been time to replace the DVD in a format that can hold more. Sure sold the computers with Blu-ray players, and there are external drives to buy. A Blu-ray disc can hold 25 GB or 50 GB (Dual Layer), which is much higher than DVD. But is it enough?

When do you actually burn a Blu-ray disc? For backup, it feels completely pointless, because it is clearly easier and cheaper to get an external hard drive and backup to it.Again, the price tags into the picture. Calcination Only Blu-ray discs, called BD-R, is expensive.  At regular intervals, experts say that prices will drop as fast production speeds up, but it does apparently not.

If you look at PriceSpy can find price information on the BD-R discs in just over 30 dollars. These seem to be promotional prices at some stores, and they are not in stock. The correct prices are rather at least double that. Should you buy a BD-R disc today, it costs from $ 60 and up.  The “cheapest” you get if you buy a spider with ten or more disks.

These prices are 25 GB versions. Do you want to burn to BD-R discs with a capacity of 50 GB, you pröjsa from over 200 SEK and up. When you burn this disc, you really keep my fingers crossed that they do not suffer from bränningsfel and may throw the disc …

The question is whether these plastic discs not had its day? I’m pretty confident about it. Today I can not see any room for Bluray, not for home cinema or in your computer.It is too expensive and – well – for the pointless.

WiFi adapter from Sandberg in Miniature

Posted by admin | news, review, shopping | Tuesday 25 January 2011 9:52 am


Sandberg Mini Wifi Dongle is a handy little USB adapter that gives you access to wireless networks at speeds up to 150 Mbit / s. The advantages of a USB-based WiFi adapter, mini-can of course be questioned in the current situation so that all portable Computers still have built-in WiFi support. Despite the adapter’s small size of about 3 cm so is its acknowledgment of good opportunities, at least on paper. The installation of the drivers takes a few minutes with the included CD.

I did the quick test in my hemlägenhet of how many networks wifi dongle could find.By comparison, I had my notebook Acer Aspire One, which is pretty good wifi chipset and discover many more networks than my HP laptop machine does. While your computer’s built-in wifi card found 13 networks in the area, found Sandberg’s wifi dongle 14 pcs. There is no overwhelming difference and the signal strength of the found networks was roughly equivalent regardless of the WiFi chip I used.

Are you looking for a real powerful wifi adapter to your laptop to connect to wireless networks in really bad conditions, this is therefore probably not the right adapter to buy.

All the better to make that case adapter on a standard desktop computer, which after all is all the more unusual with wifi support so far. According to the manufacturer to the adapter function of up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors – numbers that I could not test myself because of the small apartment and a prevailing snowstorm. True figures, it is more than enough for most users.

The card supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps and support for IEEE 802.11n . Up to128-bit encryption is supported through WEPWPA and WPA2 . Signal strength is between 13-18 dBm. The adapter costs 459 SEK to buy from the manufacturer’s website.

Introduction of apple battery!

Posted by admin | tips | Monday 24 January 2011 9:16 am

Introduction of apple battery!

With a little care you can maximize battery life (the time the Apple macbook pro battery will last before it needs to be recharged) and lifespan of the battery in your laptop. The most important thing is to not use your Apple notebook in too extreme temperatures. Avoid leaving it in a hot car in summer.

Your new laptop

The Apple macbook pro 17 inch battery in your new Apple notebook has an advanced chemical compound which extends the life considerably. The internal battery in the MacBook, MacBook Pro and MacBook Air is designed to provide up to 1,000 full charging cycles before it reaches 80 percent of its original capacity. They also reduce the adaptive loading wear on the battery and gives it a lifespan of up to five years. Let the battery charge completely the first time you plug your computer and then run Software Update to make sure you have the latest software. Apple releases regular updates that may improve battery performance.

Standard Maintenance

For a lithium-based battery stick, it is important that the electrons in it moving occasionally. Apple does not recommend that you leave the computer plugged into the power adapter all the time. An example of an ideal computer users is a commuter who uses her laptop on the train and put it on charge when she arrived at the office. This allows the Apple powerbook g4 12 inch battery kept running. If you have a desktop computer at work and just use your laptop from time to time, charge and discharge the battery at least once a month. Need a reminder? Add an event to your desktop computer’s iCal calendar. You can choose to replace your battery when it no longer can be charged up enough for your needs. If the laptop has an internal battery, you should only replace it with an Apple Authorized Service Provider.

Long Term Storage

If you do not plan on using your laptop for more than six months, Apple recommends that you store the battery with 50% charge. If you store a Apple macbook pro 13 inch battery when it is completely discharged, there is a risk that the battery enters in a state of deep discharge, which means that it can be recharged at all. If you store a fully charged battery for longer battery may lose its capacity, which means that the battery life. Remember to keep your laptop and battery at the correct temperature.

Optimal settings

You can use your Apple computer in a way that the battery life is maximized.

Power: In Energy Saver you will find several settings that control the power consumption of your Apple notebook. The computer knows when it is plugged in and adjust to it. When the computer gets power from the battery attenuates the brightness and other components used sparingly. If you change this setting to get better performance, the Apple macbook pro 17 inch battery will discharge more rapidly.

Brightness: Dim the screen brightness as much as possible without visibility suffers so does the battery last longer. For example, watching DVD movies on an airplane where the light is dim, you do not need full brightness of the screen.

AirPort: AirPort consumes power even when not using it to connect to a network. You can save power by turning off AirPort in the control panel.

Bluetooth: You can also extend battery life by turning off Bluetooth, as it also consumes power when not in use.

Software and peripherals: Disconnect peripherals and quit applications not in use. Eject CDs and DVDs that are not currently in use.

Audiobook for iPod – so do you, the easy way

Posted by admin | shopping, tips | Thursday 20 January 2011 10:02 am


My mother got an iPod Nano for my birthday, which she also use to listen to audio books. When I checked the web for information on transferring audio books on CD to your iPod , I realized that there should be an easier way.

The guide, which most are related to the availability blog , but even if this guide is very good and clear, it includes the Twelve Steps and many procedures. I thought that was a tad too much for my limited technical mother. It was even too much for me to cope convert an audiobook on CD to your iPod . Therefore I looked at alternative solutions.

What I describe here, is not the ultimate solution.But it is among the simplest . To implement this, you need an iPod, you have connected to your computer and you need to run iTunes version 8.0 or later. You also need, of course, an audio book on CDs.

The solution is to import your CDs into iTunesand create a play list of audio book. If you select the advanced way described in the above link, your audio book to fall short menu of books on the iPod, but in this case end up in the playlists.

One problem that I understand may occur, is that the iPod can not remember exactly where you were somewhere where you turn off and then will continue to listen. On my new iPod Nano does not occur this problem, but I guess it can mess up on older versions of iPods.

Otherwise, the computers, therefore the same specifications. What we know at this moment is that the computers have Intel Centrino 2 processor, and that they come with VGA and HDMI port and two USB ports. The complete specification teaches presented at the CeBIT trade fair which takes place in a few weeks.
