THE CELLPHONE REVOLUTION

May 5th, 2009 | Posted under Tips For Life | No Comments »

THE CELLPHONE REVOLUTION.
We have all seen them. We have used them at some point. We might even be the proud owners of several units. Cell phones. A blessing from god above which has revolutionized human life as we know it. I am sure that Alexander graham bell, even in his wildest dreams, never envisioned what his invention, the telephone, would eventually morph into. Marconi, even as he did his experiments in wireless communication, did not fully realize the great possibilities afforded by his experiments. The modern cell phone is indeed a technological masterpiece, if you really think about it. If anyone had walked over to Mr. graham bell and told him that in the future, it would be possible to hold a conversation with a person halfway across the world, he would have labeled them a lunatic and proceeded to have you taken to the nearest asylum, or he would have at least laughed in your face and called you a fool. However, we know that what may have seemed an incredible feat in the past is now reality, in the form of cell phones. It is amazing how fast the devices are getting assimilated into everyday life. With increasing technological advances, the devices are getting cheaper and cheaper and all the while their processing power, their memory capacities and other features are increasing. It is no big deal today to watch television broadcasts on the devices, listen to music, send e-mails read documents and make appointment, all using your cell phones. It gets better than that. Cell phones, also referred to as mobile phones, are changing the way people carry out their day to day activities. Not only do they enhance communication, but they are also changing other facets of life not necessarily linked with communication. Take banking, for instance. Ever since the creation of these noble institutions, most transactions took place within the banking halls. Not so today. With the advent of electronic funds transfer (eft) and mobile banking, one can make all manners of financial transactions from thousands of miles away, thus saving time and avoiding the hassles of queues and bouncing cheques. Take the example set by one Kenyan company, namely safaricom. Safaricom, a mobile network service provider has introduced an innovative mobile banking service to its customers under the name of m-pesa.the service allows customers to deposit money into their phones and to withdraw it when needed. It also allows for funds transfers between customers. As is expected, the service has caused quite a stir in the third world country`s banking industry, and most banks have been forced to either develop similar services or partner with safaricom m-pesa service.
Indeed, cell phones are here to stay. What remains to be seen is how people will react to the changes that they bring about.

The difference between a strong and a weak password

March 17th, 2009 | Posted under Computer Advice, The Internet, Tips For Life, Web Hosting Tips | No Comments »

When you create an account somewhere or when you need to pick a password to secure your web server, the advice always is to pick a strong password. It’s a bit of weird advice, much like telling someone to pick a good man or woman if you want to marry. If you didn’t think the person was a good person, you wouldn’t have married, and if you thought your password was weak, you wouldn’t have picked it. Luckily there’s a simple way to pick a strong password.

Unlike what you may think, strong or weak, are not just a matter of opinion, there are criteria that define what’s strong and what’s weak. For example, you may think that iwasbornonthefourthofjuly is a strong password, when in fact it’s not. It’s not weak because it’s easy to guess (unless you really are born on the fourth of July), it’s weak because a password generator would be able to crack this password very quickly. So what can we do to make it a little stronger? Well first of all, we can take the word four, and turn it into the number 4. So then we would have the password iwasbornonthe4thofjuly, which is stronger, but still not strong enough. It needs at least two numbers to be a medium password, so it would have to be iwasbornonthe14thofjuly or iwasbornonthe4thofjuly1979.

Is it a strong password now? No, it still isn’t (yes I know, life is hard, live with it). Now, you need to add capitals and symbols. Something that would result in the password !Iwasbornonthe4thofjuly1979#. Now that is even a little strong password. And don’t worry, it doesn’t need to be that long, as long as it has symbols, capitals, numbers and letters. That’s a combination that’s still not impossible to hack, but why would a hacker try to hack a difficult one, if there are thousands of people that use a weak password?

Truely I would say that you need to choose a password that has no sequential algorithm. I don’t think I really know what those words mean but what I’m trying to say is that it should be something that can never be guessed. It really should be a combination of letters (capitol and lowercase) numbers, and symbols that have no relation to each other, just totally random.
something like lQp!96R; . Now that is a secure password and no it’s not mine

How to get new friends on Facebook.

February 21st, 2009 | Posted under The Internet, Tips For Life | No Comments »

Well first off Facebook is one of the leading social networks out there that does not make it easy to go spam everyone into being your friend. They actually try to make it so that it can be used to actually engage in meaningful contact.

The first thing you want to do as in any social atmosphere is to be honest. The purpose of being on Facebook is to tell people about yourself so don’t just say “I’m not giving anyone any information about me”, unless of course you just want to have a private network of friends that already know everything about you. I’m not saying you can’t do that, but if you are reading this because you want to make new friends on Facebook then you probably should include as much truthful info as possible.

Now Facebook does have some cool features that will help you also to get in touch with past friends. You can include the school (s) you went to and or companies you worked for and they will show you people who also have that in their profile.

If you have changed your name at all in your life (most commonly if you got married and changed you last name) you may want to list your past names (maiden name) in your full name i.e. Jane Doe Smith. This way when old classmates look for you it will make it easier for them to determine if that was really you.

So what if you want to make new friends that are not in your networks? That’s easy too, get involved in groups. You can also add some game apps and find people there. Usually the apps have a forum that people go and talk about the game.

My advice to you is, whatever you do BE CAREFUL. As with anything online people are not always who they say they are. Even if you have been talking to this person for years online always be cautious with giving out more information that Facebook requests, there’s a reason why they don’t ask everything. It doesn’t matter if you are 13 or 60 there are always predators out there looking to hurt someone.

3 Ways To Live Longer and Healthier

February 9th, 2009 | Posted under Miscellaneous, Tips For Life | No Comments »

There are 3 ways to extend your life extensively without too much effort for the most part. We at Bounceweb did the hardest part, get the information for you, and if you follow it, your life will only get better.

1. Get deep, well rested sleep. Always make an effort to sleep well. Start off by our series of getting a better sleep part 1, getting a better sleep part 2, getting a better sleep part 3. There is a very simple reason to do this, during our sleep we heal, and the more we heal everything that needs to be healed after a tough day. There is proof that if you sleep well, that the chance of all disease lowers! Not just one or two, but all diseases!

2. Train for strength. Strength training isn’t just for body builders, if you build your physical strength you also build your cardiovascular health by the act of training your strength, and the stronger you are the better you perform physically and mentally. This is due to the the energy conversion systems our bodies use. Every cell of ours is surrounded by this thing called a mitochondria, which can be looked at like the power plants of our bodies. The mitochondria turn what we eat into energy we use, the more strength we have, the more efficient the energy conversion process is. This energy is used for everything we do, including our fabulous brains. Converting energy well equals a longer life.

3. Intake less calories. Did you really need to supersize your meal? Was the triple stacked burger really necessary? If you eat less calories you WILL live longer, this is proven in lab mice, worms, and rats and now there is evidence that humans who eat less live longer too. Now there is some common sense that must be applied. Not eating anything but water or deciding to stick your finger in your mouth to orally extract calories is out of the question, but getting all your nutrients, proteins, etc that your body required to function at the highest level without eating more than require will guarantee a longer life. There are some arguments about intake of calories, and burning the same amount to be just as good as in-taking less calories, but remember, when you expend your calories your cells produce a by product called free radicals that basically destroy your cells. Eat less, live longer.

When we work on computers so much, we have to watch out for our health. Be good, and live a long and healthy life.
