I remember a time when buying a television set meant walking into a store and picking out the biggest screen on display. Back then, all one had to do was pick out the biggest set, nowadays, a myriad of other factors have to be considered before purchase. Thank God for technology and presently the task of purchasing a television set has never been more daunting. It is frustrating when in preparation for the purchase of that big screen TV and on getting to the store, a bunch of jargon is thrown at you leaving one more confused than when they came. This piece seeks to investigate the various terminologies out there relating to screen resolution to make it easy to a common persons understanding. There was a time when digital television was the term heard everywhere. That time came and passed, and then there came the era of LCD versus LED. LCD technology is the mainstream technology currently in use in most of the television sets. On the other hand, all of the television sets bei...

Some of my friends have been so excited about IPv6 mainly because they heard it was being rolled out in the university in a few months. I can understand the excitement, I mean, most of them are expecting incredible lightning internet speeds and there are rumours and murmurs going around that this is a complete overhaul of the network layer protocol. Well the main reason why I decided to write on this is not because IPv6 is a new technology, its’ been around for some time, only that it has not been implemented fully yet and I also want to dispel some of the above rumours. Well you have a reason to be excited about IPv6 because it’s going to bring a lot of improved security features to the table and also new ways to control data flow over an entire network making it a tad more efficient and well, faster but saying that it’s a new page in the network layer protocol is a complete lie. IPv6 is more of an evolution than it is an invention. IPv6 takes off from where IPv4 left off and builds...

I never thought a day would come when I would have to write this. Why then you may ask, am I doing it now. The main reason is that Intel is like a decade ahead of all other companies out there manufacturing chips. The other reason why I chose to write this article is due to the fact that we have a multitude of devices now running on ARM based processors with the RISC architecture compared to Intel’s high end processors which mainly use the CISC architecture. Lastly, rumors were flying around that Apple was considering using only ARM based processors on all their future devices, really? ARM based devices have slowly found their way into our lives. To name just a few; the A5 chips used on the I-phone 4S and the I pad, the QUALCOMM or snapdragon processor in the Samsung Galaxy series among others. A brief comparison between the ARM processors and the X86 counterparts is outlined below To get a better picture and a clear understanding of what I am talking about, it is good to give an exa...

Well a lot has been said about this topic and I thought it was time I put in a little of what I thought to see if we can at least come to a common understanding or at least get the truth about all this. (The truth is out there…x files) When I first heard of a Mac, well I guess I was in late primary school, I had seen it in the movie blank cheque but that doesn’t really count. I have been using PC’s most of my life and frankly, I don’t see a good reason for getting a Mac any time soon, unless that is they start making really good products that are really impressive not just in the design and make but also in the performance sector(that sounds a little not true now maybe…read on). What Apple knows to do best is market their products, when it comes to marketing strategies, well we all have to give it to the late Steve Jobs for doing such a good job. The design team also does an impressive job, we all know for sure that an apple computer is one of those cool looking gadgets to have around ...

As most of you are aware bby now, well windows 8 build 8102 developers build has been released for like 4 weeks now. Well I have the pleasure of informing you guys that I have been using it for quite some time now and what I can say is I have no regrets so far Well the only problem that I encountered along the way was when it came to installing programs that run on the older 3.2 .net framework, well windows 8(code name) comes with 4.5 and I guess all the older versions are also included. This was quite a challenge to me and honestly I didn’t know what to do, I had to pick my brains a little harder in order to come up with the solution to this problem. I know some of you may be asking what is this .net thingy???well in short layman terms what I can say about this framework is that it is a huge library that incorporates most of the programing languages out there and runs primarily in the windows environment. Most of the programs out there are probably compiled to run smoothly in the 3.5...

Many are anticipating the arrival of Windows 8, the next installment from microsoft, to say i am really waiting for this day would be an understatement., but do many of us really understand what the rolling out of windows 8 means? First of all, there was the rumor abut windows 8 using files in the cloud that one would need an active internet connection before logging into the system so as to elliminate privacy. to say but just a few words, this was only but a rumour not saying this is far fetched as most of the computer games most people are buying nowadays are alaready implementing this idea just to name a few like Monday Night Combat among others that are mostly played online and one needs to always have an active internet connection to play this games not to say broadband speeds and the amount of traffic this creates. the next thing to come out is this issue about SLAT. most people dont know what SLAT is and an alarmingly larger number dont even care about this. well just to sh...
