CNBC Report: Costs of owning a PC versus a MAC, with CNBC’s Video

No Comments »

On the broadcast, CNBC’s Jim Goldman claimed that over time PCs were more expensive than Macs. PC owners would have to buy software, he claimed, that Mac owners didn’t need.

Hot on the heels of CNBC’s bold statement that Apple is beating the recession comes a range of new statements: From appearances alone, Apple’s Mac OS X comes with Photoshop, and PC users need to pay at least $600 to perform as well as a Mac. Also he compared other costs like the costs of Antivirus software etc., that should be bought for other PCs which will be free for Mac PCs

Here is a CNBC Video that gives a synopsis of the “true costs” of owning a PC, versus owning a Mac.

The video posted by CNBC, embedded above starts off giving a brief history of Microsoft and Apple’s ad campaigns, and Apple’s market share, etc.

Protect your Music files!

No Comments »

By Thendral Muthusami

If you have tons of music files that you collected painstakingly over the years, are you prepared to lose all of them, just because you thought they are safe enough and there isn’t any need to back up them? What would you do if your entire precious collection of all those music files disappeared tomorrow leaving you with only a bunch of discordant notes – a disk full of corrupted files? You cannot afford to realize that you needed a good back up program after your hard disk crashes or your computer was stolen.

Naturally, you always have the option of copying important files to removable media, such as a CD, DVD or additional hard disk, but considering the cost and time involved in creating a backup onto these devices, online storage is a handy and cheap way. Backing up your essential files using online backup services, such as the one offered by Comodo is neither difficult nor time consuming. Once you backup your files onto their secure remote servers, you can conveniently access your files from anywhere, using Internet connection.

Comodo through its powerful online backup service offers a simple and safe way to back up all the important stuff on your computer. A copy of the files you want to backup is stored in a secure, remote location for safekeeping, should something happen to your computer, your data is still retrievable, anytime. This solution that provides secure and scheduled remote backup services takes the pain out of keeping your vital data safe.

The following are some of its key features that make it the best free online backup service:

  • Easily backup files or folders anywhere on your computer, network, DVD-RW, CD-RW or FTP server
  • Email, FTP, zip and configuration passwords are stored in the registry with encryption
  • Protect yourself against ever losing those critical files that took hours to create
  • Quickly recover your data in the event of data loss
  • Schedule backups to run automatically at a time that suits you
  • Synchronized backup feature - save a file and it gets copied instantly
  • Send E-mail notifications to team members about the status of a backup job
  • Save Disk space by compressing your backups as ZIP files
  • Configure in minutes with its intuitive interface

Apart from providing a good secondary protection against unforeseen issues such as fire, theft or damage, it allows file exchange with friends and family members or store data that would take up too much space on your hard drive, such as music, photo and video files.

Why should you install a Firewall in your PC?

No Comments »

By Thendral Muthusami

You think your PC is secure because only you have access to it. You visit only secure sites. You do not open an email attachment without checking it for virus. Think again. Without proper protection for your system, when you go online, you are running the risk of malware and virus attacks. When you are online, clicking on that seemingly innocuous looking “check your computer for viruses” may lead to system malfunction, data theft and worse - losing your precious data for ever. For most of such ads are viruses and spyware in disguise waiting to take control of your system. When you use the search engines too the scores of sites that are listed may not be authentic ones. They may be designed to install a malware once you click anywhere in that site.

You cannot stop using the Internet, for the Internet holds large amounts of information and you use it at home and in business. Intelligence lies in knowing you are vulnerable when you connect to the Internet and taking precautions to protect your system.

So, what do you need to protect your data and system?

A firewall. A firewall can help you protect your system against hostile intrusions from the Internet by preventing unauthorized access to your system.

As you know, the Internet is a network of networks, and thousands of computers have access to your computer when you are online. Viruses can be written by anyone who has some programming skills. And you will have hundreds of them out there who think creating a virus is accomplishing something. So they spread the virus in the network and without a firewall in place, they have direct access to anyone on the Internet.

But with a firewall in your system, those malicious programs will have to return disappointed. For a firewall inspects and filters the information and all traffic routed between the Internet and your system to see if it meets certain security criteria. If it does, it is allowed otherwise it does not. A firewall is literally a protective fence that keeps off malicious programs from your system. That’s why it s called a firewall.

Installing a firewall is easy and they are highly configurable. Sometimes it’s frustrating to install a new program that you are not familiar with. In that case, you can get assistance from technical support providers for firewall installation and configuration. That shouldn’t be costing you much. And once installed, they don’t require much change in the settings – for most of us home users, it s safe enough to work with the default settings provided by the firewall program unless there is a specific need to change it.

With your PC protected by a firewall, you can relax, your PC is highly protected and there are no more security holes in your system to be exploited. You are secure!
