AMD APU

APU( Accelerated Processing Unit) is a processing system that combines CPU, GPU, video processing and other accelerator capabilities in all. AMD Fusion is the series of APUs by AMD (Advanced Micro Devices ) and they represent powerful processing units. It is like a system on chip rather than CPU which is assisted by the different parts such as the GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). As the APU includes the CPU and GPU together, data transfer rates is improved reducing power consumption rate. Also, AMD APUs provides better graphics as it emphasizes more on graphics which means they focus more on providing good graphics while Intel emphasizes more on performance.

In conclusion, AMD Fusion series of APUs is introduced to provide consumers with chips that can allow the computer to have longer battery life, lower power consumption and battery graphics capabilities.

How about that! Just ever so recently record label Cube Entertainment has joined the trend of using Facebook page! Basically, they also implemented this idea knowing the fact that it is a very good and effective way to promote and keep connected to the audience who are fans of idols of this label. This way, Cube staff members can post latest information of the comebacks of their idols and all the audience can comment and like those posts. Interactivity is an important key factor of Web 2.0 that enables its success don't u think so? :D

Google +

Google Plus, is a social networking service like Facebook that allows users to add each other as friends. There are features such as Circles, Hangouts, Huddle, Sparks and "+1" button. "Circles" is a feature that allows users to manipulate contacts organizing them into groups. That means users can drag and drop their friends into different circles which symbolizes different social circles of the user. "Hangouts" is a feature that is basically the group video chat function that allows a maximum of 10 users to participate in a single "Hangout" at any point of time. "Huddle" is a feature that allows smartphone users which only include Android, iPhone and SMS devices for instant messaging within circles. "Sparks" is a feature that is basically Google Search, enabling users to share topics they are interested to share with others. Sparks also keep users updated on their topics of interest.

Therefore, Facebook, being faced with a strong competitor like Google+, has launched video calling service with Skype, which allows one to one video calling in an attempt to challenge Google+ 's Hangouts feature. So, we can see that Facebook feels threatened by Google+ which shows that Google's response to the rise of Facebook is strong and they are serious about cracking the social networking service market.

This video shows an overview of Google+.

Hosting Content - The Easy Way:

Today, I would like to talk to you about hosting content – The easy way. Uploading content to the internet can be really simple, you do not need to know to know a pile of knowledge or information just to upload your content and share it on the internet. However, you do need to know some hosting websites which can help you ‘host’ – which is helping you put your content on it’s servers so you can allow the file to be shared globally with everyone on the internet.

Anyway, here are some of my interesting sites which I have in mind and I think it is a fantastic idea to share with you.

mediafire

One of the most commonly used file sharing services is Mediafire. It’s simplicity and virtually no download limits and waiting time makes it appealing for all.

filesonic

Another competitor in the ring which is climbing up slowly in the file sharing industry is Filesonic.

4shared

4Shared has already been in this business for quite some time and they are still being used by many. However, they have some limitations, such as if the account is inactive for a few months, they will remove your files and deactivate your account.

reupload

If your content is meant for everyone and anyone, why not use ReUpload.it, it will upload your content to every content and hosting provider it could find and give you all the links so your files would have the highest uptime possible.

youtube

And of course, if your content is quite specific, like a video you should use YouTube, as it offers the best buffer speed and currently, you could upload up to 10 hours worth of video to their site!

Hope that this helps you put your content on the internet; there’s no reason on forgetting your thumb-drives!

Food Businesses that use Social Media for further promotion:

For the past few years, food businesses have been popping out and more food outlets and chains want to look unique in their own individual way. Some tried to give out flyers, a method in traditional media which no longer might work with the newer generations.

However, more and more well established outlets have been trying to use Social Media in their marketing efforts to promote their businesses and to make a more viable platform for people to business communications. Thus, increasing patronage in the long run.

IMAG0658

A quick example would be the newly established commercially known “ Pepper Lunch Express “ which makes its debut yesterday at MUNCH in our very own Ngee Ann Polytechnic

IMAG0659

The non-intrusive promotional icon for it’s Social Media network for Pepper Lunch Singapore can be found in every menu at the store.

The rise of Social Media is very strong and this is just the start of it’s rise to overtake most or almost all communications in the future.

We hope you find this post on Take IT Higher exciting, if you have any questions, feel free to send us a Twitter or Facebook message.

In the past, when you lose your handphones, it would be very difficult to find or even trace where your phone is. But nowadays, with the advancement in technology, smartphones have become the norm . There are many applications that can be downloaded using smartphones which can help in tracing your smartphone.

For iOS
Find My iPhone

Enable Find My iPhone in settings. Then if you misplace your iPhone, you can sign in to me.com from any computer web browser or using the Find My iPhone app on another iPhone, iPad or iPod Touch to display its approximate location on a map. Also, you can write a message and display it on your screen. Your message will appear on the iPhone even if the screen is locked. You can also tell Find My iPhone to play a sound that overrides the volume or silent setting if your iPhone is nearby. You can also set a passcode lock remotely and also protect your privacy with Remote Wipe. You can initiate a remote wipe to restore your iPhone to its factory settings. When you find your iPhone back, just connect it to your computer and use iTunes to restore the data from your most rec
ent backup.

For Android

McAfee WaveSecure
Secures your mobile device and personal data in the event of loss or theft by allowing you to locate or track your device, helps prevent device misuse, and remotely locks your device and wipes your data. It enables you to back up and restore your data from the device or via an easy-to-use web portal.

Lookout Mobile Security

myLookout.com from any web browser to locate your phone.

Therefore, if you want to secure your phone, you can install such applications to allow you to be able to prevent any unintended leakage of personal information and also to track your phone.

IT (Information Technology) has brought about significant improvements in Business operations and in the entire human life as whole.

Talking about Globalization, IT has not only brought the world closer together, but it has allowed the world's economy to become a single interdependent system. This means that we can not only share information quickly and efficiently, but we can also bring down barriers of linguistic and geographic boundaries. The world has developed into a global village due to the help of information technology allowing countries like who are not only separated by distance but also by language to shares ideas and information with each other.

In communication, IT has helped to make communication cheaper, quicker, and more efficient. We can now communicate with anyone around the globe by simply text messaging them or sending them an email for an almost instantaneous response. The internet has also opened up face to face direct communication from different parts of the world thanks to the helps of video conferencing.

IT has also brought about Cost Effectiveness by helping to computerize business processes thus streamlining business to make them extremely cost effective money making machines. This in turn increases productivity which ultimately gives rise to profits that means better pay and less strenuous working conditions.

IT has also helped to bridge the cultural gap by helping people from different cultures to communicate with one another, and allow for the exchange of views and ideas, thus increasing awareness and reducing prejudice.

IT has also made it possible for businesses to be open 24 x7 all over the globe. This means that a business can be open anytime anywhere, making purchases from different countries easier and more convenient. It also means that you can have your goods delivered right to your doorstep with having to move a single muscle.

Lastly, IT has helped in the creation of new and interesting jobs like Computer programming, Systems analyzing, Hardware and Software developing and Web designing.

Now that business has become very competitive, there is the need to use IT to remain ahead and in business. Good IT use can get you ahead of competitors.

In terms of Functionality and Flexibility, internally IT can help improve infrastructure performance thus increasing functionality and the range of options that can be pursued. Externally, it can help create an efficient, flexible online/offline platform for doing business with customers, suppliers and partners.

In commerce, IT can internally help improve internal operating efficiency and quality. Externally, it can help streamline and integrate channels to market, create new channels and integrate multiple online/offline channels.

IT can also help improve the performance of knowledge workers and enhance organizational learning. Externally, it can improve the performance of knowledge workers in customer, supplier and partner organizations; add information value to existing products and services; create new information-based products and services.

IT can also help attract and retain top talent; increase satisfaction, engagement and loyalty; create a culture of involvement, motivation, trust and shared purpose. Externally, can help attract and retain high quality customers, suppliers, partners and investors; increase external stakeholders' satisfaction, engagement and loyalty.

IT should therefore be a must for every business including those in our dear country Ghana.

Choosing a Right Browser:

Choosing a right browser is especially important, and today, I will be talking about choosing a right browser which will provide you with the utmost security with no compromise in speed. In today’s contenders, I will be choosing the top 5 browsers in the industry to date. Mainly, Internet Explorer, Google’s Chrome, Mozilla’s Firefox, Opera and Apple’s Safari (In no particular of merit).

We will provide you a simple and in depth understanding of each browser.

Opera

Opera, one of the browser projects that spun off from a telecomm company works on browsers both on the desktop and mobile platforms.

chrome

Google’s Chrome, which was initially a project to surf the web faster and easier with no complications. It is one of the largely used web browsers and gaining a market share with time.

Firefox

Mozilla’s Firefox, a open source web-browser that was created after AOL stopped its Netscape browser which many was using previously. It is known as one of the browsers with the largest market share in the browsers world.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer, a browser that was tied into Microsoft Windows machine by default is a browser which gain instant popularity when it was being released as it was tied in by the Operating System and do not require any further installation.

Users should switch to alternative browsers after history of known security flaws.

Safari

Apple’s Safari, a browser that was built for Apple’s Mac OS X Operating System, one of the growing market share in the industry.

YG entertainment made use of this unuque way to advertise and promote their idols! and now, their track song “Lonely” holds the record for receiving 10,000,000 hits on YouTube faster than any other KPOP song before it.

With the emergence of cloud computing, there are more and more users who are using web-based office suites to run and edit word documents or PowerPoint presentations for the convenience of being able to have multiple editors and also convenience of passing the documents to viewers which you want to show. That means when you are running a document on Google Docs for example, you can allow access to people who you want for them to view or even edit the document. Thus, it is very convenient for students doing a project that requires use of word document or presentation to do collaborative text editing.

Google Docs vs Microsoft Office Web Apps


1) Storage
Both services allow users to upload any file and use the service as storage. Microsoft's SkyDrive offers 25GB of free personal storage with individual files limited to 100MB while Google Docs offers data storage of any files up to 1GB each in size.

2) Collaborating
Google Docs offers real-time collaboration where edits are saved and shown to everyone instantly. Microsoft is also bringing similar feature which is called co-authoring. Also, Microsoft offers sharing but only one user is able to edit the document at a time.

3) Overall Features
Google Docs include many popular features in word processors such as spell check, tables, equations and much more. Google Docs also allows users to create web forms which can be used to conduct survey or collate information from people.

In conclusion, I would recommend Google Docs although the storage provided is lesser compared to Microsoft's Office Web Apps, I think that real-time collaboration is more important than storage as the main convenience that Web-based office suites can bring to users is being able to let multiple users edit a document at the same time.

Google Cloud Connect

With the rise of cloud computing, more and more users are making use of this technology. Google Cloud Connect is a free plug-in for Microsoft Office that can store and synchronize with Google Docs. So, for example, if you are using Microsoft Word to type a document, when you use Google Cloud Connect to synchronize the document, the Google Docs copy will be updated each time you save the Microsoft Word document. So, you can edit your Microsoft Word document without internet access and synchronize the document to Google Docs when you have internet access again.
Watch these 2 videos for more information about Google Cloud Connect.

With the use of IT, not only can we go facebook , twitter, watch dramas from youtube and etc. We can even go ONLINE SHOPPING! Talking about online shopping, I'm sure some of the girls will be very excited about it. We can no need to waste our energy to go to the shopping mall to buy the things we want. Online shopping allow us to shop at home and purchase items thought internet. Isn't it sounds cool? If there's PROMOTIONS , we can no need to squeeze in the crowd, scared of people stepping over your shoes, but instead, we can enjoy in our room , switching on the aircon and just purchase the things we want from the web!
Definition :

Online shopping is the process whereby consumers directly buy goods or services from a seller in real-time, without an intermediary service, over the Internet. It is a form of electronic commerce. An online shop, eshop, e-store, internet shop, webshop, webstore, online store, or virtual store evokes the physical analogy of buying products or services at a bricks-and-mortar retailer or in a shopping centre. The process is called Business-to-Consumer (B2C) online shopping. When a business buys from another business it is called Business-to-Business (B2B) online shopping.


In 1990 Tim Berners-Lee created the first World Wide Web server and browser.It opened for commercial use in 1991 . In 1994 other advances took place, such as online banking and the opening of an online pizza shop by Pizza Hut. During that same year, Netscape introduced SSL encryption of data transferred online, which has become essential for secure online shopping. Also in 1994 the German company Intershop introduced its first online shopping system. In 1995 Amazon launched its online shopping site, and in 1996 eBay appeared.




Customers:

Online shopping has become popular; however, it still caters to the middle and upper class. In order to shop online, one must be able to have access to a computer as well as a credit card or debit card. Shopping has evolved with the growth of technology. According to research found in the Journal of Electronic Commerce, if one focuses on the demographic characteristics of the in-home shopper, in general, the higher the level of education, income, and occupation of the head of the household, the more favourable the perception of non-store shopping., Enrique.(2005) The Impact of Internet User Shopping Patterns and Demographics on Consumer Mobile Buying Behaviour. Journal of Electronic Commerce Research, An influential factor in consumer attitude towards non-store shopping is exposure to technology, since it has been demonstrated that increased exposure to technology increases the probability of developing favourable attitudes towards new shopping channels.

Online shopping widened the target audience to men and women of the middle class. At first, the main users of online shopping were young men with a high level of income and a university education. This profile is changing. For example, in USA in the early years of Internet there were very few women users, but by 2001 women were 52.8% of the online population.

Ways To Control Gaming Addiction

Hi guys !!! I am back ~~ I really hope you guys are looking forward to what i am going to post !!! Today i will talk about Ways To Control Gaming Addiction!!!

Before i am going to tell you how to control gaming addiction i am going to share with you on the symptoms. There are two type of symptoms , one is psychological and another one is physical.

Psychological Symptoms :

1. You feel ‘amazing’ when you’re on the computer.

2. You can’t stop playing

3. You neglect family and friends

4. You crave more time on the computer.

5. You feel empty,depressed and irritable when you’re not playing addictive games

6. You lie about gaming.


Physical Symptoms:

2. Migraine headaches

3. Irregular eating: skipping meals etc.

4. Lack of hygiene

5. Sleep problems

6. Obsessive thinking of playing

If you have all this Symptoms please start to control yourself! I am going to tell you some ways to control yourself in gaming.

There a quite a few ways to control computer game addiction.

1) Admit there is a problem and tell others about it and ask for help.

2) Ask yourself, if you are addicted to a particular game or is it any game? Control yourself by playing that game 2hours a day.

3) Figure out what causes you to play addictive games. Ex: when you’re around certain people, at particular website? These are your triggers to play and you should avoid them. They give you cravings.

4) Make a Time Table for yourself on what are you going to do that day.

5) Time yourself. If you play on the computer 22 hours a week, cut down to 19 or so. Keep at it, and fill your time with the activities that you’ve been avoiding.

Don’t be hard on yourself. Like any addiction, you will relapse and go back to your old behavior. Don't be discourages just get back on track and stick to your goal to cut down addiction and you will eventually spent lesser time on game.

In information technology, gap analysis is an assessment tool to help identify differences between information systems or applications. A gap is sometimes called "the space between where we are and where we want to be."

A gap analysis helps bridge that space by highlighting which requirements are being met and which are not. The tool provides a foundation for measuring the investment of time, money and human resources that's required to achieve a particular outcome.

In software development, for instance, a gap analysis can be used to document which services and/or functions have been accidentally left out, which ones have been deliberately eliminated and which still need to be developed. In compliance, a gap analysis can be used to compare what is required by law to what is currently being done.

Computer hardware is any physical device, something that you are able to touch and software is a collection of instructions and code installed into the computer and cannot be touched.

Example of computer hardware : keyboard and mouse
Example of computer software : MSN and microsoft office
Can a computer run without software?
In most situations, yes, a computer can run without software being installed. However, if an operating system or interpreter is not found on the computer it would either generate an error or sit at a black screen. Installing additional programs onto the computer after the operating system has been installed will only give that computer additional abilities. For example, a word processor is not required, but will allow you to create documents and letters.

Can a computer run without hardware?
Depends on the hardware. Almost all computer setups will require at least a disk drive (e.g. hard drive), display, keyboard, memory, motherboard, processor, power supply and video card in order to function properly. If any of these devices was missing or had problems, an error would be encountered, or the computer would not start.

Everywhere you go, regardless which corner are you at in the world, you would definitely almost close too 100% of the people with an electronic gadget. The world has changed so much that if you do not keep up with the latest trend of IT, u would not survive.
Facebook, twitter, Youtube, blogger and many more. It has become such a habit that people cant live without. IT has become so powerful that it is so hard not to not use it!
The future would all be about IT!

The 4 most visited sites around the world are FACEBOOK,TWITTER,YOUTUBE and GOOGLE! Without IT , we can't go to these sites to play games in facebook like restaurant city, bejeweled, zuma and etc , to tweet by updating what we are doing or thinking in our mind in twitter, searching for information in google and lastly watching videos/dramas from all over the world in youtube!
Talking about dramas, lets guess , dramas from which country is the most popular? Well, many people have their own view. Some may like Taiwan dramas, some may like Korean dramas, HongKong dramas and etc. But for me, I like Korea and Taiwan dramas *scream* Haha. Korea dramas are mostly romantic kinds. I'm sure many girls outside also like to watch Korean dramas, as they can see handsome celebrity! Haha. One of the handsome celebrity is LEE MIN HO! (my bro) haha .

My favorite Korean dramas are :
Boys over flower,
Dream high ,
Cloud staircase,
and many more.......
My favorite Taiwan dramas:
It started with a kiss,
Fated to love you,
The magician of love,
and many more.......

We should feel very fortunate to be living in a world that have IT! Even if without TV,we are still able to watch these dramas in youtube or other websites.
