Apple’s new A6 Processor Preview

Whether it is the diminutive iPod Nano or the iMac, whether it is the iPad with all its features or a desktop PC, all of Apple’s products come backed up by great technology.  For instance, the Mac Pro runs on Quad Core Xeon processors from Intel and users can decide between a 12, 6 or 4 core. Apple’s iPhone 4S comes with the A5 chip that consists of not 1, but 2 cores, promising graphics that are seven times faster and performance that is two times more powerful than anything before it.  The iPad used Apple’s custom-made A5 chip as well that promises more power with less energy consumption.  We are now hearing that the new iPad, the iPad3, will be better and faster because the company has upgraded the A5 processor to a quad-core processor, the A6.

Using AOL Gives A Sense of Nostalgia

Today I am going to talk a little about software that has been around almost as long as the Internet, AOL. This software was one of the first major programs that I installed on aol-you-have-mailmy very first Windows machine. At its peak, AOL was one of the fastest growing companies in the country. Back in the days of dialup, AOL was like your best friend. Back in those days after you hit the button to connect, you could hear the pinging sound of the software connecting to your phone line.

New Malware Geared Towards Skype

There is a new threat to watch out for and this time it is geared toward Skype users. It appears that the software is generating bogus messages that could potentially contain a link that could take you to an infected website.

I have already cleaned up a couple of computers this week that contained ransom ware that appeared to come through the popular software. When removing the virus, the date and time on the virus matched new file activity on the Skype software to almost the same date and time.

There are many things that you need to keep in mind as you vie to keep hackers away from your device.

Pricing out the Cloud (Yes, it Costs More)

Any discussion of cloud computing for a small or midsize business revolves around two central issues: function and cost. Too much of both bankrupts a company, too little and the benefits of cloud computing can’t be realized. Balance is required but it’s no easy task, especially as providers cry out with siren calls about how their solution costs less the next guy and can help reduce your IT budget.
