Why Should You Use Antivirus Software For Your Computer?

World is changing at a very fast pace and so does the computer and its technology. We all know computer is one of the biggest achievements of human brain. When it was invented no one would have thought that it would become an integral part of our day-to-day life/work. All of our information is now digital, whether it’s our bank-account, our income tax returns, confidential files or online reservation etc. With every new invention/discovery there are also people who just have interest in exploiting it out and stealing your information (these people are hackers). You will not like any one taking a look at them or stealing it without your knowledge. Most of us also use portable drive (pendrives, CD etc.) for sharing file, movies etc., but how can we trust it; that it is not infected with any virus, Trojans or any malware computer. And now give a Big thanks to internet it has become more easy for any hacker to compromise your computer from his place if we do not protect it. So, it becomes more important than before to protect your PC.

We can’t stop our self from using internet or any portable drive with our computer as it is a vast source of information and our many important works. Then what should we do? Well to protect you and your information from these greedy people Antivirus comes to your rescue. It is a small software which is specially designed to protect your information from these threats and keep your data secure. It scans your computer and monitors your activity closely on daily real-time basis. It is even highly recommended by computer manufacturer; even some manufacturer provides you with one on your new PC. If don’t have one then you can get one from nearby computer peripherals shop and does not cost big bucks on your pocket.

Tips for choosing an Antivirus:

1) Go for a premium (paid) one as free antivirus are just jokes on you by their makers and does not do any good for you. Sadly, In India people don’t understand it and mostly user prefer free version over paid one.

2) Keep your antivirus database up-to-date as new viruses are made every second and manufacturer update their database daily to protect you from them.

3) Before buying any antivirus do a thorough research to see which one protects you better as market is full of them and do not choose any paid one randomly as it about your money & protection.

4) Check for an upgrade of your antivirus by their manufacturer as there may be some bug fixes to your present antivirus (hackers even don’t lefts those security loops to compromise your system security).

Apple to Announce iPhone 5S On September 10

Apple's iPhone launch is the most anticipated tech event, and it is creating a lot of Buzz right now in the Tech corridor. Apple will be hosting an event on September 10 to unveil the iPhone 5S, according to All Things D (a blog that has a solid track record for reporting inside Apple information). The release date is the most recent, and probably one of the most accurate.

Apple is also reported to be working on a smart-watch and a TV, but neither of those products are expected to be ready for next month's event.

The new iPhone will run iOS 7, the latest version of Apple's mobile operating system, which includes new typography, redesigned icons and a new color palette.

As the time of launch comes close, the rumors around the next iPhone are continuously increasing. Here's a roundup of some of the rumors making around the next iPhone, but that doesn't mean all of them turn out to be accurate.

Read on to find out some of the rumors making around the next iPhone.

• The new phone will be called iPhone 5S and will keep the same design as the current iPhone 5. 

• The company will also roll out a cheaper version of the iPhone, especially for the sale in emerging markets; it will cost $99 and will come in five or six different colors, according to Reuters.

• There may be at least one larger iPhone model, with a 4.7-inch screen, a 5.7-inch screen, or both to compete with big-screen rivals.

• The new phone will have a fingerprint scanner for added security and other uses. It will be in the home button of the device.

• It will have a faster processor, longer battery life, improved camera and an increase in the screen contrast. 

• Apple could improve the microphones in the iPhone so that Siri detects human voice better and call quality and audio on videos is improved.

It is yet to see what Apple comes out with at the launch and the rumors can be officially confirmed then only. Though as is the case with our list of Unofficial Specification of Moto X which we posted before official launch came out to be true with launch of Moto X.

Sony and Panasonic to jointly develop 300GB optical discs.

According to the press release; Sony Corporation (‘Sony’) and Panasonic Corporation (‘Panasonic’) today announced that they have signed a basic agreement with the objective of jointly developing a next-generation standard for professional-use optical discs, with the objective of expanding their archive business for long-term digital data storage. Both companies aim to improve their development efficiency based on the technologies held by each respective company, and will target the development of an optical disc with recording capacity of at least 300GB by the end of 2015. Going forward, Sony and Panasonic will continue to hold discussions regarding the specifications and other items relating to the development of this new standard. 

Optical discs have excellent properties to protect them against the environment, such as dust-resistance and water-resistance, and can also withstand changes in temperature and humidity when stored. They also allow inter-generational compatibility between different formats, ensuring that data can continue to be read even as formats evolve. This makes them a robust medium for long-term storage of content. Both companies have previously developed products based on the Blu-ray™ format, leveraging the strengths of optical discs. However, both Sony and Panasonic recognized that optical discs will need to accommodate much larger volumes of storage in years to come given the expected future growth in the archive market, and responded by formulating this agreement. 

Sony previously commercialized a file-based optical disc archive system in September, 2012. Based on optical disc technology that Sony cultivated for its XDCAM series of professional broadcasting products, this system houses twelve optical discs within a compact cartridge as a single, high-capacity storage solution. Each disc within the cartridge holds 25GB capacity, offering a total range of storage capacities from 300GB to 1.5TB.

In July this year, Panasonic launched its ‘LB-DM9 series’ of optical disc storage devices. This series uses a dedicated magazine of just 20.8mm thickness to house twelve 100GB optical discs. A maximum of 90 magazines can be stored, providing a total storage capacity of 180TB. In addition, Panasonic adopted a newly-developed changer system together with RAID technology to offer rapid data transfer performance of up to 216MB/s, while also ensuring high reliability by protecting data from unforeseen faults.

In recent years, there has been an increasing need for archive capabilities, not only from video production industries, such as motion pictures and broadcasting, but also from cloud data centers that handle increasingly large volumes of data following the evolution in network services. Both Sony and Panasonic have a proven track record in developing Blu-ray Disc™ format technologies, and by actively promoting the adoption of a new standard for next-generation high-capacity optical discs, they intend to offer solutions that preserve valuable data for future generations.
