Homework (27/04/10)

1.How is cloud computing different than using a normal computer?

- Cloud computing is a public utility that people use to share their information and resources to the computer. It is more convenient than using a normal computer because normal computer have a limit space to store the information. On the other hand, cloud computing is the best place that people can store their information and anything they want. However, it also help peoples' lives because they can access the data anywhere.

2. How could you turn a classroom into a cloud computing classroom?

- Cloud computing can help students and teacher have well connection. If the teacher want to teach something to students, they can post it on the computer. This way will help students understand more about the lesson. Also, when they want to turn in their homework, they can put it to the computer and the teacher can check it. However, it will create a less chance of misunderstanding between students and teachers

Homework (06/05/10) 1. What is the site you selected

- www.mog.com

2. What is the site's purpose and why is it considered a web 2.0 website?

- It helps people to get in touch both offline and online. It helps people who signed in for the website to write blog or short diaries, uploading their photos to other. It is considered a web 2.0 as other can also share their information.

3. What is your favorite website and why?

- My most favorite site is Facebook. I like Facebook because of it helps me keeping in touch with my friends around the world easily although it is sometimes time-consuming.

Homework (02/07/10) 1. What is the best computer sepc?

- Motherboard: The Motherboard's FSB (Front Side Bus) speed is an important indicator of a Computer's speed. It is a bi-directional bus (i.e., interface) that carries all electronic signals to and from the CPU to the components - Hard Disk, Main Memory, etc. The faster the FSB, the faster your Computer! Today's fastest FSBs come at speeds above 1 GHz!

Processor: Currently, the following Intel Processors are available:

Intel Core i3 Processor, with the 540 and the 530 Product Numbers

Intel Core i5 Processor, with a variety of Product Numbers

Intel Core 17 Processor, again with a variety of Product Numbers available under it

Hard Disk: Current technologies here are ISA and SATA, with Hard Disk speeds being 5400 RPM, 7200 RPM and 10000 RPM. Of the two technologies, SATA is faster and costlier. Today's Hard Disks come with capacities of 320 GB and even 500 GB!

Main Memory: An article about Memory technologies would take up an entire website! EDO, SDRAM, PC100, PC133, PC800, RDRAM, DDR, DRAM, etc., are memory technologies past and present.

As far as your purchase decision is concerned, the higher the speed (Memory speed is internally measured in nanoseconds, and the speed it communicates to the FSB is measured in MHz or GHz) of the Memory, the faster your computer. Current Memory technology is DDR SDRAM and speeds are 667 MHz to 1 GHz and above

Again, the more Memory you have, the more applications you can run and the faster you can run them. How much Memory you have is measured in MBs or GBs. If all you run are simple applications (e-Mail, Browser, Word Processor, etc.) on Windows XP, even 512 MB Memory is decent. However, if you run larger applications (like Design, Mathematical/ Engineering/ Statistical applications or high-resolution Games), you will need at least 2 GB Memory. Today's Computers come with 2, 3, even 4 GB Memory!

Graphics and Sound: All Motherboards today come with built-in Graphics and Sound. This was not the case earlier. However, the Graphics and Sound that is built into the motherboard is very basic.

Most of the graphics-intensive programs - AutoCAD, CorelDRAW and the like, would run much faster with an add-on Graphics card with dedicated memory. In fact, many of today's graphics-intensive games would not even start playing, on the built-in graphics or sound card! This is because before starting up the game, the game would look for a dedicated Graphics Card. If it does not find any, it would not start up! So if you plan to run more that a Word processor, e-Mail, Browser and such stuff, a dedicated Graphics Card such as nVIDIA or Radeon, with 512 MB or even 1 GB of dedicated Video RAM is a must!

Again, if you are into music editing/ making movies/ audio CDs/ DVDs on your Computer, you must go in for a dedicated Sound Card. Sound Blaster has remained the market leaders and preferred brand in the sound cards segment for many many years now!

Optical Drive: Today, you have a choice of Optical Drives. Here are the choices you have:

CD-ROM Drive (Read CDs)

Combo Drives (Read and Write CDs, Read DVDs)

Super Drive (Read and Write CDs as well as DVDs)

Blu-Ray Drives (Read and Write CDs, DVDs as well as the new Blu-Ray Disks)

A plain vanilla CD-ROM Drive is now passé, while a Blu-Ray Disk may be a costly luxury at the moment, for, its prices will continue to fall. At the moment, the best bet is definitely to go in for a Super Drive that will let you play as well as record on both CDs as well as DVDs

Operating System: Lastly - and equally importantly, your choice of Operating System will also affect your specifications. While Windows XP would run quite well with 512 MB Memory, you will require a minimum 1 GB, if your choice is Windows Vista Business: we recommend 2 GB RAM if you are choosing a machine running Vista Home Premium, Vista Business or Vista Ultimate. Interestingly, the latest version of Windows, Windows 7, requires less in terms of Memory, than its predecessor, Windows Vista! However, we recommend that you still go for 2 GB Memory, if your new Machine has Windows 7 on it

The next section of this article presents you with the specifications for the current Intel Processors. You may like to look at this, even though a table laying out specifications of one model after the other is hardly a help, as far as taking your PC decision is concerned!
