Damn, what a speed here!

I am in Imphal right now for a training and I tried to connect to the internet through the normal BSNL line using their netone dial-up internet service and damn, what a speed here! I can even submit a post at the first go!

Well, it’s not that there is broadband service out here. But I can take up a broadband line only for a couple of days. I am trying hard to connect and get a few things done but I am already finding it too hard waiting, lol.

Anyway, hope the BSNL netone service will improve a bit after the new telephone line re-construction which is scheduled to start within a few months. It’s shown at the time of connection that I am connected with a speed of 36.7 kbps and now I am praying, at least I get that much speed!

Spy Bugs

There are many different spy bugs that can be used to listen in on conversations. These can be bugs that you plant at a home, or listening devices that you wear on your person (or have someone else wear). But no matter how you use spy bugs, it is possible to glean useful information with them, whether you are an amateur, a professional, or are just looking for the truth. The most common spy bugs are bugs that use a radio frequency to transmit the sounds around them. These bugs may be placed inside a home or office to catch conversations held in a room, or they may be hooked into a phone. When hooked into a phone, they can listen to both sides of a conversation over a phone line.

Other spy bugs make use of ways that tap into the line itself and do not send radio transmissions. These types of bugs are harder to detect. A wiretap might fall into this category of direct bugs, as may a soft tap that makes use of computer software to listen to phone conversations. The best spy bugs, however, are the portable kind that go with the subject and allow you to phone in. While it is possible to plant radio transmitting spy bugs on a person to go with her or him, it is far more practical to use a device that they trust, and that is unlikely to be shed or lost. This is a cell phone. Of course, spy bugs in the form of cell phones can only be used to learn information from people you know, and whom you might reasonably be expected to give a cell phone. A Spy Matrix Spy Phone is really a portable bug that lets you listen to conversations that make use of the cell phone as well as whatever is going on in the room at the time.

Creating easy Flow Charts in Excel

After seeing the same rectangle and oval boxes each time we see a flowchart, doesn’t the flow chart look a bit boring and too conventional? How about making it a little bit more trendy, using some cool looking rectangles and oval boxes with better shapes or whatever we may like to add to it? How about if we can do it more easily than it were done before? The world is in fact going towards the web 2.0 trend and everything is being beautified these days. So, also is the way we look at things and expect them to be like. Our eyes demand more visually appealing things to be convinced. So, when we make a flow chart for a presentation or for any other purpose, we should give it a more pleasant look.

Well, the best part is that you can directly convert any step by step procedure, if you already have it written down in a word file, into a well organized flowchart using some great tools, such as the one I have stated above. So, these tools are indeed making flow chart creation a child’s play. We can use these tools to create hundreds of eye catching flow charts in just a matter of some small amount of time, giving us more freedom and perfection in the job at hand. With such great tools coming up on the scene, we are now ready to create well organized and well designed flow charts much faster, and much easier. It has made flow chart creating process as easy as making them with a pen and paper.

Tamper proofing with security labels

Well I hope everyone knows what is a security label. But still for those who are new to this term, a security label is a sticker seal, which is placed or stamped on different products in order to prevent them from unauthorized tamper of theft during handling or asset transfer. You may find these security labels in most of the items and products in the market today. If you own a company, or work in a production house, you sure must have dealt with these labels. Some best places for security labels to buy can be found in the Internet as well. These online dealers will save you both your valuable time and money.

These security labels uses a particular form of stickers that will usually leave void marks if anyone tries to tamper that package without the knowledge of the product authority or the end user. Some may get broken into pieces as a proof of being tampered. In either way, they both prevent the assets of the items from unauthorized taper and deter theft during processing or transfer.

Security label may come as a small film or might be integrated into the asset tracking bar code. It may also come in the form of a security seal with special provision to prevent tampering. If you are on your way to buy these security labels, then you should always consider the type of product that your company is dealing with. Some labels may fit a particular type of product more than any other. For example if your company is producing oily products, then you should make sure that the labels are specially meant for that king of products.

These days, different security labels comes with custom logo of the product’s company and that gives them a much better and professional look. Some may be just a plain silver coated sticker that leaves “void marks” if anyone tries to remove the sticker or tries to tamer the product. It’s your choice which type of security label you should choose, but what’s more important is using them, to secure your products and give your customer a more reliable service.

Technology Advances

Most people when they think of first computer invented they think Bill Gates. This, however, is not true, for the computer was invented long before Bill Gates was around. Bill Gates only revolutionized the computer, buy creating a more compact and useful form of the computer and making it available to everyone with a job.

There are many people out there who would say that the first “computer” was the abacus, invented in Asia about 5000 years ago. I however, wouldn’t.

The first of the “modern” computers was invented during World War II, in 1941 by a German engineer named Konrad Zuse. Its name was the Z3 and it was used to help design German airplanes and missile’s. Then in 1943, the Allied forces developed a computer called Colossus. It helped decode German messages.

The Mark I, designed by Howard H. Aiken, an engineer working with Harvard and IBM. The Mark I was positively huge, taking up half of a football field. It was useful though and it helped to create ballistic charts for the US Navy during the war.

Shortly after this, came the Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer (ENIAC), developed by John Presper Eckert and John W. Mauchly, working with the government and the University of Pennsylvania. ENIAC was about 1000 times faster than The Mark I but no smarter.

The Use of transistors, ment computers that could store memory and even run programs. Soon after computer languages were invented so that people could change the programs run by the computer. Finally computer research brought us smaller, more useful computers, and eventually the kinds of computers that we have today.

Although it is a little hard to determine what the first portable or laptop computer was, and when it was invented, we can however say that there is more than one claim to laptop fame. There was even signs of laptops dating back as early as 1979. Designed by a Briton, William Moggridge, for use by NASA in early 1980’s. IT was one fifth the weight of any model equivalent in performance and was a 340K byte bubble memory lap-top computer with die-cast magnesium case and folding electroluminescent graphics display screen.

Since then notebook PC’s released in 1981 lay clam to being the first. It was the Epson HX-20, a battery powered portable computer, with a 20-character by 4 line LCD display and a built-in printer that started the new widespread desire for these laptop computers.

In January of 1982, Microsoft’s Kazuhiko Nishi and Bill Gates begin discussions on designing a portable computer, based on using a new liquid crystal display or LCD screen. LCD technology in 1982? Yeah that’s right! Believe it or not we had the technology to make the LCD tvs and monitors that you’ve seen only recently over 22 years ago. But that’s another story in itself.
