Wifi issues

The growing popularity of WIFI has been great for people but it also creates a great deal of trouble for people living in densely populated areas. Many lower end routers use the same frequency, thus causing interference and network slowdowns. The simple solution to this is to get a dual band router, this way you can broadcast on a frequency that most likely nobody in your neighborhood is using. It may cost you a little more but the added speed and less headaches may be worth it.

Ipad 2

The ipad 2 is now out and is 33% lighter, packing a dual core processor and "facetime" video chat. What do you all think of it? Is it worth the investment?

Running out of IP addresses?

The world is running out of IP addresses, so I heard.. Whats the solution? add more numbers of course.. the standard is 4 octets, the new system will be double that.. meaning 64-bit rather than 32-bit. I also heard they will be switching to Hex rather than decimal.. so we will be looking at 5EA.6BB.55E.AA3 rather than 192.168.1.1.. this is what Ive heard around.. ill have to look more into it.. let me know your thoughts.

google and hackers

I read today that google was the only search engine to survive a chinese hacking war. Its interesting, but expected..

competition within the IT industry.

It appears to me as though competition is pretty tough within the IT industry, everyone fighting over customers.. while trying to keep that small business friendly atmosphere and image.. You cant succeed with any business anymore if you really act that way..as I have found out. Never the less.. I don't adopt the expansionist mentality when it comes to business.. as some local shops do... just far too big of a head for what they are.

Find any sweet deals on computers or electronics?
Share the wealth and ill make a list right here!

dual core or dual chip?

Alot of people wonder what is better dual core or dual chip. The answer isnt a simple one.. If you are going with intel, dual chips are actually better, as they use the bus to communicate between cores. However if you are using AMD it has been shown the performance is about the same because the cores can communicate directly.

now I know most people are going into 6+ core processors these days, however.. keep in mind, AMD makes as good or better chips for less.. not that the I7 and any thing to be messed with. I have seen a setup with 2 I7 cores, thats some crazy power, then there is the 50 core processor that intel tested, their conclusion, anything over 16 cores is impractical.. so the best possible setup you could have is 2 16 core, 32 cores.. good luck getting your hands on that (as far as I know its not available yet..give it a week or so )

Show me some love.
