There’s no medical mystery to this condition, at least to those who know the symptoms. Recently, a 12-year-old boy had developed a blotchy, discolored area on his left thigh after playing a new video game on his laptop for a few months. While the young man was able to deduce that the disfigurement was in the same location as the hottest part of his laptop, he didn’t put two and two together. In another case, a Virginia woman went to her doctor with a similar problem on her leg. Dr. Kimberley Salkey, the treating physician, was perplexed at the skin discoloration. She only realized what was happening after she discovered that the young lady in question spent six hours a day using an overheated laptop, propped up on her legs. 

Virus-infected computers that pose a risk to other PCs should be blocked from the net, a senior researcher at software giant Microsoft suggests.The proposal is based on lessons from public health, said Scott Charney of the firm’s trustworthy computing team.

Security is of utmost importance on an iPad; at the owner’s preference, multiple complex passwords can be assigned to ensure that confidential information remain inaccessible to unauthorized persons. Data exchanged over-the-air or through the Internet can be encrypted to ensure security. Additionally, corporate communication over-the-air is highly protected by a certificate-based authentication process via Exchange and VPN. Even an unfortunate event such as loss or theft of the iPad will not leave important data vulnerable because information on it can be securely deleted through a remote command.  Read more related information at submit articles 

Apple is not entirely detached from Microsoft-based productivity programs; as a matter of fact, the iPad has built-in support for Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 and 2007. The manufacturer understands the proliferation of Microsoft’s Business Email service and would not let their users be left behind in business if they choose to go with an iPad. 

The Microsoft Exchange support will enable push email service and will be made available to the user’s calendar events and contacts’ information stored on their Microsoft profile. It is also possible to manage specific calendar details, search global address lists and inbox messages through this enhanced software feature. 

 

If you have multiple computers in your home and haven’t upgraded to Windows 7 yet, now would be a good time to do so.  For a limited time, Microsoft is offering the Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack for a price of $149.99.  This pack will allow you to install the OS on up to three PCs that already have Windows Vista or Windows XP installed.  Compare that to the normal price of $119.99 for one upgrade license, and it’s easy to see how good of a deal this is. 

The Family Pack deal was offered for several weeks right after the launch of Windows 7, and wasn’t available again until now. With Windows XP still holding strong as a dominant operating system, this latest move from Microsoft seems to be another push at getting consumers to upgrade. 

Police say laptop computer thefts account for 20 percent of all thefts at Duke University.

The Herald-Sun of Durham reported more than 60 have been stolen this year. Duke University police Chief John Dailey says people often leave then unattended in places like libraries, where it’s inconvenient to pack up the laptop when leaving for a few minutes to choose a book.

Too much glare. Susceptibility to fingerprints. Vulnerability to cracking. Too slippery. The list could go on. The main thing that makes iPad a very handsome device is what many of Apple products’ detractors hate about it. And comparisons are always made about how Kindle can fare better under the sun.
