A Day without your cell phone and Internet access


How often do you use your cell phone? How often do you use the internet? If I didn't use my cell phone or have any internet access today I would have been completely lost. I use my phone to access my bible, checking account, and to communicate with my family. Not only that but I the internet to check the weather at the beginning of my day. If I didn't have my phone or the internet I would have to watch TV for the weather or even take a trip to the ATM to check my bank statement.

SAN Vs. NAS


SAN (storage area network) is is a dedicated network that provides access to block level storage. SANs are used to make storage devices, such as disk array and are accessible to servers so that they look as if there are locally attached to an operating system.
Data in SAN (Storage Area Network) can be stored using two basic modules as DAS (Direct Attached Storage) and NAS (Network Attached Storage). A network, which is created by attaching storage devices such as disk arrays and tapes to a common server so that the storage devices appear to be confined to operating system, is known as storage area network. DAS is named because it is a directly attached to a server without any intermediary network involved. Main distinguishing character of DAS (Direct Attached Storage) is its direct connectivity through a host bus adapter without the use of the networking devices as hubs, bridges and switches. In a network attached storage system, many independent clients can access the storage memory. The aim of the NAS (Network Attached Storage) is to provide only file based storage devices.  In the same way we can convert NAS (Network Attached Storage) to a DAS (Direct Attached Storage) by disconnecting the entire network and attach the port to a single computer.

My favorite Open Source Product


My favorite open source is Mozilla. Mozilla is a proudly non-profit organization dedicated to keeping the power of the Web in people’s hands. Mozilla Firefox is a free and open source web browser developed for Microsoft Windows, OS X, and Linux, coordinated by Mozilla Corporation and Mozilla Foundation.
Mozilla was originally the code name Netscape Communications used for its web browser. Mozilla is also the name of Netscape's mascot, and when the company released the source code for its successor to Netscape Communicator 4.x, it named its effort to coordinate the further development of the program Mozilla.org. Though Mozilla.orginazation was founded by Netscape, it is a nonprofit and independent organization.
Updating Firefox
By default, Firefox is configured to automatically check for updates for itself and notify you when one is available. When prompted, just click OK and the newest version will be downloaded and installed on your computer. You'll need to restart Firefox to begin using the new version.

Latest Technology Product - Cloud



I've recently read an article about Cloud storage for mobile devices that basically discussed how some IT workers are not aware of cloud storage and are in jeopardy of very important data if equipment is damaged or stolen.
Cloud storage means different things to different people depending on how it’s implemented. The most common implementation is a ‘public cloud’, which is essentially storage capacity accessed through the Internet or a wide area network (WAN) connection, and purchased on an as-needed basis. Users can expand capacity almost without limit, by contacting the provider, which typically operates a highly scalable storage infrastructure, sometimes in physically dispersed locations.
Cloud storage is a new distribution model, however, with the potential for economies of scale. Aside from cost, its benefits are outsourced operation, simple, unlimited growth and ‘enterprise’ features for smaller users - like high availability, security, data protection, etc.

Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. Never email yourself a file again!

Hyperjuice2





Is it possible to charge up a MacBook and two ipads at the same time using the same device? Well according to the new Hyperjuice2 there is. The Hyperjuice2 is a device that will allow you to charge a MacBook and two ipads. While using the Hyperjuice2 you wouldn’t even need an AC outlet, unless the hypeerjuice2 needs to be charged. The Hyperjuice2 takes about 4 hours to fully charge. This electronic works with 11 to 17inch MacBooks, all the generations of ipads, and all iphones. Not only will it charge all of these products but also it will allow the ipad to fun for an extra 50 hours (44 for the new ipad), and an extra 26 for the Macbook on a fully charged hyperjuice2. On the front of the hyperjuice2 there is a LCD status display that shows the temperature, time left for a complete charge, and the battery status that is remaining. The Sanho Hyperjuice sells for $299. The Hyperjuice was launched at the IFA 2012.
