Utilization Drivers

It is such a pain when you bought a gadget only to find out that the installer for drivers was not included. Then, you google it, google it, and google it. But still, no trustworthy site to give you the installer. Some may need to log-in or sign up for an account to avail it. And before you can utilize your gadget, you don't have the drive to actually use it because of your disappointment.

When you bumped in with this kind of problem, like for your HP drivers, you must already know what trusted site to download your gadget drivers. This site will cater you with most of your needed installers so that you don't need to put an effort and so much time looking for those things. They also have Sony drivers if you need it. This doesn't serve laptops or PCs only , but also drivers for the gadgets of that brand.

A Say on Tracking

Because of our high technology, tracking of people is more easy than before. Now, we have GPS tracking to trace the whereabouts of anyone anywhere.

Well, if tracking someone involves public concern or will bring great effect to the persons involved, they why not track them. If serving for better living is our purpose of using GPS tracking, then I don't see anything wrong on tracking people. Through this, truth will be revealed even it hurts to know it. Truth hurts. But, together with this we will be open for more real one.

Also, if it is for securing our family, then why not put them on the radar. Parents would be happy to know how their children are doing. But people should still respect the privacy of the one they are tracking. For parents, they should talk to their children about this and I'm sure loving parents having loving children would understand each other if this is explained properly.

GPS tracking equipments comes in different forms; even cellphones are use for these. So if you plan on putting people on a radar with good intentions, then go ahead and choose the one that will serve you best.

Self-deleting Image Embedded with Fragile Watermark

My thesis group is currently proposing an approach on how an image self-deletes using the embedded fragile watermark on it. The plan is to embed a fragile watermark on a still image or picture and add some codes to the watermark that will call an outside method of self-deleting. When the image is modified or altered, the code in the fragile watermark will call the outside method to self-delete itself, preventing anyone to modify the image. Now, we need to find ways on making it secure and possible. Although we already had the concept, we still need to learn some tricks to make this approach effective and secure. Hope you guys can help us through your comments. Thank you very much!

Laptop Radiation Awareness

Nowadays, more and more people acquire laptop for educational, office, and entertainment purposes and because of the trend, most teenagers have this device. According to my research, using this literally as “laptop” is really dangerous. Most of the radiation comes from where the hard disk, CPU, RAM, and processor are located. It is extremely dangerous to work with this notebook on the lap since its bottom part emits a very very hazardous radiation. Not only the base part is dangerous, its WIFI Radio Field Radiation that makes us connected to a network is more dangerous than the radiation that the hard disk, CPU, RAM, and processor are emitting. This radiation that we get from our laptop can cause cancer, tumor, and brain dysfunctions. Also, the heat that we get from where we rest our hands while typing is the radiation from the CPU. However, the radiation from the laptop's LCD is lesser than desktop computers.

I recommend all laptop users to prevent putting their notebooks on their lap especially if they will work with it for a long time. Also, don't frequently lay your hands near the keyboard, and use anti-radiation glasses because even though the LCD releases less radiation, it still emits radiation. Most especially, exercise frequently, and eat healthy foods like vegetables; but if you don't like veggies, consume more fruits. All of these help decrease the possibility of acquiring diseases. Stay healthy! Additional information: Cellphones with WIFI emits more radiation than laptop, therefore it is more dangerous to use cellphones than laptop when surfing the internet.
