Livescribe Releases Sound Stickers App

While I was at ISTE 2011 I had a chance to visit with Livescribe and find out all of the latest developments that are happening with the Livescribe technology. For the past couple of years many of us who have been using the Livescribe pens have come with some interesting ways to adapt the technology so that text can be read on ordinary paper. I have highlighted that in some of my older blog posts- but today using the Livescribe Sound Sticker app and the supplied Sound Stickers you can quickly place a sticker on any paper and tap the sticker to record whatever you like. Once you download the latest version of the Livescribe Desktop software and the Livescribe Sound Stickers Application you can peel off a Sound Sticker and place it any where you like on a page. Now simply click in the Record button-tap a sticker and start recording - tap one more time to confirm and you are good to go. To play the associated sound simply tap the pen on the sticker to hear your play back. If you would like to re-record-you can click in the Delete button and quickly delete the sound that is associated with the sticker. Using the Sound Stickers I'm sure you can think of all kinds of ways to make accommodations for students with reading disabilities. Place stickers on books, tests, or set up schedules complete with helpful reminders- the possibilities are endless. Let me know how you intend to use Sound Stickers with your Livescribe Smartpen by leaving a comment.

Be Careful If Hosting In Etamhost!!!

By. Agus47-jatiblogger

This is the title of my friend post. Yes, he is having problems with the hosting of its use. This can override the all Blogger in the internet world. Check before the hosting you will be use. Look for a reference as much as possible on Google or another search engine to avoid problems later. This is more than just a testimonial to remind the blogger to be more careful.

argunbdg.com Testimonial:

Original language.
Akhirnya…. dengan rahmat Tuhan YME, hari ini saya bisa kembali ngBlog, walau pun harus mengulang dari awal lagi, setelah sebelumnya lebih dari 200 artikel (baik yg sudah dipublic mau pun yg masih berupa schedul) yg tersimpan dalam database hilang entah kemana! Terus terang saja, saya bener2 dibikin GONDOK oleh etamhost.

Awalnya, pada bulang februari, saya mendapat referensi dari hakimtea untuk ngBlog dengan menggunakan jasa hosting dari etamhost. Menurut dia sich katanya bagus, so aku nurut aja ma seseorang yg udah terbilang master di bidang internet, terutama ngBlog, sekaligus belajar banyak dari dia.

Setiap hari dan malam saya update blog saya dengan berbagai artikel hingga kurang-lebih 5 artikel/hari guna meningkatkan traffic pengunjung dari para shahabat dalam negeri mau pun mancanegara. Bagi seorang yg baru terjun ke dunia blog, tentu saja hal ini tidak mudah.

Baru empat bulan berjalan, tepatnya 2 minggu yg lalu, tanpa hujan, tanpa angin, tiba2 blogku kosong tanpa data sedikit pun! Awalnya saya pikir mungkin masalah jaringan yg memang sering terjadi dengan blogku yg kadang tidak bisa tampil, tapi setelah saya periksa ke dalam account hosting/database ternyata tak satu pun data yg tampak kecuali tinggal namanya doank (domiannya saja) argunbdg.com termasuk 2 domain lainnya pajagalan.com dan ibnu.argunbdg.com! Datanya kemana?…

Saya sudah berusaha hubungi pihak costumer via YM ke cs.etamhost@yahoo.com juga kirim pesan via porum, tapi sampe sekarang tidak pernah ada tanggapan satu hurup pun. Begitu juga dengan sms yg dikirimkan hakimtea ke ownernya etamhost si Deny Koerniawan, awalnya ada balasan dengan jawaban ‘icukcole, icukcole’ (nanti sore-nanti sore), tapi besok dan lusanya dihubungi lagi ga pernah ada lagi jawaban. Mungkin dia pikir saya ini ga penting! Cuma seorang pemula yg ga perlu dilayani bgt!!!

Terus terang, sebagai pelanggan saya merasa disepelekan dengan bisnis hostingnya, saya kira dia benar2 profesional menggeluti bisnisnya, ternyata cuma PEMBUAL belaka! Padahal menurut perjanjian pelayanannya kan sampe satu tahun, tapi… baru saja 4 bulan dah ketahuan belangnya….

Kekecewaanku memang ga bisa diganti dengan apa pun. Saya hanya berharap jangan sampe ada blogger lain yg menggunakan hosting murahan seperti etamhost, yg mungkin pada awalnya baik2 saja, tapi setelah beberapa bulan ke depan tiba2 hilang dech semua datanya!!!

Apa anda Tidak Merasa Khawatir?…

Untung saja, dengan rasa tanggung jawab, hakimtea menawarkan hostingnya untuk saya gunakan sementara, sampe saya mau memilih sendiri hosting mana yg bisa dipercaya melayani dan menjamin keamanan database pelanggannya. :-)

Demi keberlangsungan, ketentraman dan kenyamanan blogger nusantara, saya mohon kepada para blogger yang budiman untuk mendukung keluhan saya, bahkan klo perlu diposting ulang tulisan ini, disebar biar dia tau, sebagai sebuah peringatan, agar supaya para mengusaha hosting lokal pada umumnya lebih meningkatkan pelayanan dan jaminan keamanan terhadap database para pelanggannya!!! Sebab jika anda seorang blogger, saya pun yakin anda tidak akan pernah mau mengalami hal yang serupa!!!

Maap! Saya tidak bermaksud memprovokasi, tapi masalah ini harus benar2 diperhatikan! Klo bukan kita yg bersikap kritis, lalu siapa?…


This the English translate.

Finally .... YME with the grace of God, this day I can again create a blog, even if it also must repeat from the beginning again, after more than 200 articles (whether you already want to publish in any form schedule still do) I saved in a database somewhere to go missing! Out giving course, I strongly constrained by etamhost mumps.

Initially, on February wrapper, I get a reference from hakimtea to create a blog hosting service with the use of etamhost. According to him I said good, so I am just the same How well be regarded a master in the field of internet, especially to create blog, as well as learn a lot from him.

Every day and night I update my blog with various articles to approximately 5 articles / day to increase visitor traffic from our friends in the country like any other countries. For a new world of blogs, of course, this is not easy.

Just four days running, exactly 2 weeks ago I, with no rain, no wind, suddenly my blog a little empty without any data! At first I thought perhaps I was a network problem often occurs with my blog I sometimes can not appear, but after I check in to the hosting account / database was not any data unless you appear to live his name only (to its domain only) argunbdg.com including 2 domain and other pajagalan.com ibnu.argunbdg.com! Where the data ...

I already tried the costumer contact via YM @ yahoo.com to cs.etamhost also send a message via porum, but until now have not had a response to any letter. So also with the hakimtea I sent sms to its the etamhost owner Deny Koerniawan, initially there is a reply to the answers' icukcole, icukcole '(later afternoon-evening later), but tomorrow and the day after tomorrow will never be contacted again have more answers. Maybe he thought I is not important! Just a beginner you do not need to be so!

Overtly, as a customer I feel disappointed in a business with its hosting, I think he was really running the business professional, the only purely bucko! According to the agreement the ministry is one year, but ... just 4 days i discovered it killer.

My disappointment is not replaced by anything. I only hope do not have the other bloggers I like to use cheap hosting etamhost, you may initially OK, but after a few months ahead suddenly lost all data!

Are you not worry? ...

Lucky course, with the sense of responsibility, hakimtea hosting offer its use to me while, until I want to choose their own hosting where you can be trusted to serve and ensure the security of the database clients. :-)

For the sustainability, peace and comfort nusantara blogger, I ask the blogger a good complaint to support me, even I need to re-post this article, though he is assigned, as a warning, so that the local hosting business man, in general, improve service and guarantee the security of the database of the customers! For if you are a blogger, I also believe you will never want to experience the same!

Excuse me! I do not intend provoke, but this problem should really be! What we do not be critical, and who ...

Do not carelessly put data, Friends and Photos on Facebook!

Author: Donny B.U. - detikinet


Jakarta - Do not be too full to install the profile and self-images in Facebook! Do not be too easy on Facebook! Oops, invocation is of course not too popular, or likely to be ignored, for the pure-Facebooker. Yes indeed, because it shifted the concept of ideas and a friendship, then what does not in fact we only have a few friends in the real world as long as have many (hundreds, thousands) of friends on social networking sites.

If so your attendance is the number of the friend. But with more and more friends, only friends who sometimes just do not know or even remember who he is anymore or where to meet, the more vulnerable the data exposed ourselves to parties outside of our control.

Hence, so you will easily become the victims of 'impersonation'.

Case

This paper is deliberately created and I just kind detikINET to, because there is one case that directly replace one of my student in a private university where I teach. The student is the other story of his charge to me that almost every time her mobile phone contacted the person who is not known, even in the middle of the night though.

After I dig more information, turns out I find that the data itself in Facebook, either by whom, the copy and made a blog on Blogspot.com. Blog is apparently managed directly by the student is. This is the case with the so-called 'impersonation'

Even the actors (impersonator), move some photos before the student's Facebook site to a free photo storage, imageshack.us. Contents blog, tended to be both libel and harassing his dignity as a woman.

Unfortunately again, the blog is also listed phone number that is used daily by the student. Thus, almost every time he had to explain that is not like what is written in a blog on each incoming caller.


Solution

This case is rather complicated, because the place impersonator put data and the photos are outside the regions of Indonesia. But the effort remains to be done. At blogger.com or blogspot.com, have facilities to do the 'flag blog', with a choice of 'impersonation'. We need to scan the attached ID card or driver's license that we can prove that the perpetrator is the victim of impersonation.

Now that we have men-submit, then we wait for the decision to stay out of management services for blogs revoke or remove a blog address which is the object to us.

Tweedledum any money with the three photos that have been stored in imageshack overdo. There are features to report and request removal of images that we consider copyrighted material, contain elements of pornography or violence. Its assumptions, photos taken from our Facebook account without our permission, is an image that violates copyright.


Prevention

So that cases are not repeated with anyone, there is good preventive steps below can be run when the world's Facebook:


  1. Do not be too full to install the profile data themselves or in Facebook. Of course, the more complete the profile / data itself is inserted, the more easily get a friend. But on the other hand, the data also at risk in one of our self-use (abused).
  2. Do not install the pictures yourself if you own that will not feel comfortable when the image is wide-spread freely. Remember, even though the image is "only" posted on your Facebook account, actually it's the same with a photo spread of Luke to the public. Once in post, and spread, it is very difficult (and nearly impossible), you may revoke your images from the Internet. So, is selective in the pose and post your photos.
  3. Do not indiscriminate 'add friend' or to request approval on someone to be your friend. How to share and easy to select them, see how the number of "mutual friends" between you and the someone is. The less "mutual friends" is, it means that the fewer friends you know that with him, which means that the risk is high. Make sure you only receive a "friendship" that "mutual friends" is enough. 
  4. Do not carelessly accept the photo tags. Our so-so "effeminate Tagging", but try it more selective. That is, once you go to Facebook, it's painstaking review "surroundings". Because we sometimes find ourselves the images are uploaded, and tag-on by another person, when we do not like the image is shared. Immediately we are "untag" ourselves from the image and if we need to ask a friend to upload the image to pull out.
  5. Do not delay-delay, when you find your profile or data used by the other party for matters outside your control, act flee. Leaving it, it will make the long and destructive impact, at least, to comfort themselves. Report directly to the venue management services' impersonation ', to immediately revoke information asphalt (original but false) is. Or, ask for assistance on the people or parties who were or could understand how the things above.

Easy Way For Anyone to Learn Computer Repair

By Blake Nolen


Blake Nolen - EzineArticles Expert AuthorAll the time I am asked, "How do you know so much about computers?" I give the same answer to everyone....

TRIAL AND ERROR: This brings me to my first point. Don't go buy those crazy books or instructional videos. The internet has all the information you will ever need to use, fix, destroy, build, and any other thing you want to do to your computer.

On the road to learning the basics of computers, DON'T BE AFRAID TO SCREW UP! I can't stress this enough. I have had so many people ask me how to do something and they haven't even attempted to do it themselves or try to learn it. Their excuse is always, "I don't want to mess up my computer." This is the biggest load of crap I have ever heard. As long as you don't mess with the inner components of a computer, you can't mess it up. It's very hard to cripple an install of an Operating System. Even if you do, all you have to do is do a reformat and reinstall the OS.

Prime example: My grandfather, who just turned 80 years old this year, can use the computer better than a lot of my friends. Background on my grandfather - he's a no BS person. He attempts things and if it screws up, oh well. We bought him this computer a few years back. We set him up on the Internet. We showed him how to use the web browser and check the obituaries on the local newspaper's website, THAT IS ALL. We come back a few weeks later and he has found how to get lyrics for songs, find and print sheet music, and even find videos on YouTube. He has even found out how to copy CDs. Before this he never even had so much as a cell phone. LESSON: ANYONE CAN LEARN TO USE A COMPUTER.

Back to how I learned. I started out on my computer figuring out how the files and other parts worked. I then learned the single most important thing you can learn to fix a computer. FORMAT AND REINSTALL AKA system recovery. With this bit of information you can never be in a state of where your computer is completely destroyed by something you did with software. There are hundreds of sites out there with the walk through of installing an OS. Go to your manufacture's website and you can find out how to do a recovery. Some manufactures such as HP go as far as to add built in system recoveries that require nothing more than hitting a button on boot and clicking next.

Once you are armed with system recovery you can't be stopped. I learned all my troubleshooting skills by actually fixing problems. If I have a problem I don't know how to fix, then I Google the problem. If I have an error message, I copy and paste that in and any other relevant information and search. I keep at it until I find the answer. That's the secret to computer repair - GOOGLE AND SYSTEM RECOVERY. HINT: Whenever you go in a computer repair place with a virus problem and they charge you 80-100 dollars to fix it- they just do a system recovery. One hour of research can save A LOT of money when it comes to computers.

Conclusion:

Don't be afraid

Do it yourself

Trial and error

System recovery

Most important and my motto:

JUST GOOGLE IT!

The Best Vista Registry Cleaner



After its launch in 2007, Vista became one of the best selling software packages ever, with millions of loyal users upgrading their Windows systems. It was sold as a revolutionary system, packed full of exciting new features. Although this is true, Vista still has an Achilles Heel which has plagued the entire Windows series... the registry.


All registry cleaners have been designed to fix this Achilles Heel, but some are much better than others at doing it. The registry is basically the central database for your computer, and stores everything from your system files to your computer's settings. It's a very important part of your system, which is responsible for helping Windows do *everything* on your machine. And as with all the previous versions of Windows, Vista relies on this database to tell it what to do at all times.


This is okay, but the problems occur when the files of this database become corrupted and damaged. This is something that happens a lot, and your computer could have 1,000's of broken files inside the registry database. The problem is that when these files become corrupted, Vista can't read them any more, which means that it's forced to spend more and more time trying to find the files that do work, which slows your PC down and cause errors.


Although Vista is the most advanced version of Windows, it's still extremely dumb and relies heavily on the registry to show it what it needs to do at different times. This means that in order to get Vista working fast and smoothly again, your computer *needs* to have a registry database which can be read easily and quickly by your computer. In short, the quicker Vista can read the registry database, the faster your PC will work.


That's why the best Vista registry cleaner is the one which actually fixes the most registry files for you. However, it's not just as simple as being able to fix or delete as many files as possible - the best registry cleaners are the ones which only delete the problematic files of your PC. The registry is actually home to most of the SYSTEM FILES which your computer actually needs to work. If these get deleted, then your computer simply won't be able to work again... and that's what many low quality cleaners actually delete, unfortunately.

With this in mind, from our experience, we've found the best Vista registry cleaner is one called RegCure
