ICANN Creating a Monopoly in Domain Names

When the Internet was very young, all you had to do to get a domain name was call a man named Jon Postel, and ask for it. Things have changed greatly with the popularity of the Internet. Now the competition for a good, short, generic domain name is fierce. If you want a domain name in the popular .com namespace, you have to settle for a long, sometimes confusing, domain name.ICANN has been using a process of “rounds” to introduce new tlds. When they do create these new tlds, they are generic in nature, like .info or .biz. This creates trademark conflicts. Many companies hold the same word as a trademark, such as Apple Records and Apple Computers. Both are legal trademarks. Both have the legal right to use the word apple to sell their respective products and services.So which one has the legal rights to apple.com or apple.biz? What if I start a company tomorrow called Apple Printing Services and get a trademark on the word apple to sell printing services? Do I not then have equal rights to use apple.com or apple.net as my domain name?If ICANN would open the TLD market, so that any company with the technical expertise and the financial capability, could start a new TLD, we would have more option like apple.computer, apple.music, apple.printer. TLDs like .lyr, .atty, .cpa, would crop up. This would help eliminate trademark conflicts.First come, first serve, in the demand for domain names was the method used and seemed fair when namespace was less congested. Now, if we are going to insure that future generations of people, who are not even on the Internet yet, or who have not even started their business yet, will have the opportunity to get domain names they want, we must create more tlds. ICANN claims there is no demand for new TLDS.I disagree. Demand is far from being met. It is not fair business practice to have few TLDs where a few companiespeople get short one word domain names while the rest must settle for two and in most cases three word domain names. By limiting space with few TLDs, ICANN makes the decision that businesses that were in existence at a certain point in time shall have an advantage over any business created at a later time.

As a city grows, more streets get paved and more buildings get built allowing for more businesses to get good locations, more corner lots if you will. As name space expands ICANN wants businesses to continue to build upward and not outward. They leave new businesses the equivalent of existing on the third and fourth levels Vs having a ground-floor storefront.

Cities grow outward to allow for more development. TLD space needs to grow outward to meet the same demand. Cities that stifle development and that are not business-friendly find their economy in ruin before too long. Cities that do their best to offer more development opportunities to businesses i.e. corner lots, breaks in certain costs, etc., prosper.

It would be uncommon for a city to tell a new business, “nope can build on that lot, you have to build onto existing buildings above your competitors, so that they have the ground floor and your customers must walk past your competitors to get to where you are.” That is the analogy. If you own design.com already, I must get something like webdesign.com (a 2nd floor location), the next business must get something like websitedesign.com, (3rd floor), the next few businesses can share the 4th floor with greatwebsitedesign.com, websitedesignplanet.com, etc. Others will get the 5th floor with even longer names as new businesses come to the web.

You might say well they only need their business name for their website and that should be easy to get. I would answer that many businesses have the same name and in addition to that, generic keywords in domain names are an advantage to only having your business name as a domain name. People are not searching the web for you, but they do search for what service or product you sell.

ICANN is currently forcing an unfair disadvantage to new business owners and to people new to the web by not allowing them to get good, short domain names for their personal or business use. Not allowing new tlds to be created is an unfair business practice and a restraint to free trade. It is also anti-free enterprise because they are telling me I cannot go into the domain name selling business and that only a few businesses they have selected can do so. They may also be in violation of laws written to avoid monopolies.

Twitter

Internet relationships are very different from actual personal relationships. It is based primarily on like, know, and trust. Many people are reaching out to others through social network websites and one of these sites is Twitter.If you don’t like a person, then you can’t trust him or her. If you become a subscriber of Twitter, you can meet millions of people and perhaps you can find some individuals that you might like.In this social network site, you can do microblogging; so why micro? Well, it’s because you can only compose a message that is 140 characters in length. It’s too short but it tells a lot of what you’re doing. You see, if you’re using Twitter, you will be asked to answer the question – “what are you doing?” and the answer should be written in 140 characters.Whenever you answer that question or when you make updates, the tweets are sent to all your friends to let them know what you’re doing. The aim of the developer of Twitter is to know all the activities of his friends and it is exactly what you can get from the site.For instance, you’re going out to get some groceries. You can update your tweets and tell your friends that you’re out getting some groceries. Now, some of your friends may respond to your tweets but some will not. That’s the good thing with Twitter. The receiver of the updates or tweets is not forced to respond immediately. In fact, they can ignore the update if they want to. It’s up to you to adjust the settings on your profile page.You can choose only a few of your friends to receive the message or tweets. You can also choose when and where you will receive the tweets. For example, you can receive the tweets on your mobile phone so that wherever you are, you will know what your friends are doing; and you can even reply via your mobile phone if you like. Many new users of Twitter are often confused when they receive tweets. You see, some tweets are addressed to only one person and yet everyone on the ‘friends list’ receives it. It’s natural to get confused at first but as you use the site more often, you will appreciate it more. Did you know that Twitter is just as popular as MySpace and Facebook? It has about six million users from different countries. You can meet a lot of new friends there or you can also locate lost relatives and classmates. Why don’t you sign up now and stay connected 24/7? You don’t need to access your Twitter account every time you want to update the messages on your profile page. The site provides excellent tools that allow you to make changes to your profile even without actually accessing the website. Make use of such tools and have fun. If you’re new to Twitter, try to learn everything you can about the social network website. Visit their official site and know how they started. Twitter has been in business for almost three years now and their subscribers are still increasing. Because of its simplicity, many people prefer Twitter as compared to other social sites.Experience Twitter now and see how many friends you can find. If you have a business, you can also promote it on the site.   For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.

What Computer Printer Characteristics Should Be Considered

The following article covers a topic that has recently moved to center stage--at least it seems that way. If you've been thinking you need to know more about it, here's your opportunity.A typical computer should have a printer on hand. There are all sorts of computer printer characteristics to look into first. The type of printer that is used is one of the characteristics to consider. This includes the printing quality and the speed of the printing. Multiple services, including scanning and faxing, can take place from a printer too. Here is a look into these computer printer characteristics.The type of the printer is one of the computer printer characteristics to follow. The dot matrix printer is still used in some places. This is where pixels are printed to form a single image. However, more advanced technologies are being used. For instance, the toner based printer uses static electricity to move the toner into the paper for printing and then heat is applied to keep it on the paper.The inkjet printer is the most common printer on the market today. This is where small bits of ink are printed onto a piece of paper. Each bit of ink will be attached via a small electric charge.Laser printers are becoming popular too. These can work with toner in that the LEDs in the printer can get the toner to stick to the paper. Inkless printers are currently in development as well. Dye crystals are used to be heated into the area between the two layers of the paper. This is a process in development though, as the print has been known to fade quickly in trial tests.Is everything making sense so far? If not, I'm sure that with just a little more reading, all the facts will fall into place.The first of the computer printer characteristics to consider is that of the quality of the printing. The quality that a printer will be capable of handling will be measured by its dpi, or dots per inch. The dpi readout will be based on the ability of the printer to be able to print high quality images. For instance, a typical printer on the market will have a dpi readout of 600x600. This means that there will be 600 dots per inch on both the vertical and horizontal parts of the page. 4800x1200 is becoming a standard on some of the higher end printers these days, and some will even go as high as 9600x2400 in quality.The speed of the printer is another of the computer printer characteristics that is important. The number of pages per minute that it will be able to print measures the speed. This speed will be different based on whether or not black and white pages or color pages are going to be printed. Some printers can handle up to thirty black and white pages in a minute and eight color pages in a minute, for instance.The multiple features on a printer are the last of the computer printer characteristics to look into. Some printers are able to handle scanning or fax technologies. Some will also be able to copy pages right from the printer without a connection to anything. CD and DVD label printing is also featured on some of these newer printers.Those are the computer printer characteristics to think about when buying a new printer. The type of printer, its quality output and the speed of the printer are all important. Additional services may be considered too. By using these considerations, it will be easier to find a printer that is right for one’s specific needs.Knowing enough about computers to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about computers, you should have nothing to worry about.   For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.

External Hard Drive Recovery

You can store your computer data in several different ways.  Data can be stored on removable disks, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, and other types of media.  Even though there are several ways that you can store your data, at some point in time the electronic or mechanical device is bound to break down, resulting in a loss of data.  Even though the device may work good for years, it can always break down when you least expect it, with no way to avoid it.Hard drives are the most common way to store data, although they are mechanical devices and can break down or crash at any time.  When they crash, you’ll normally lose all of your data, which can put you in quite a bind.  To be on the safe side and keep yourself protected, you should always have a backup plan, such as an external hard drive.An external hard drive is very handy to have around.  You can store any type of file on it, including music and pictures.  Most people use them for videos, as they can store a lot of videos.  You can get them in many different sizes, going as high as 500 GB.  If you have a lot of video on your computer that is taking up a lot of much needed space, you can easily transfer it to an external hard drive and free up some of your space.On the data recovery side of things, external hard drives are a great solution.  You can back up your entire hard drive on them, even a mirror image.  Most external drives are FireWire or USB compatible and will work with most computers.  To use an external drive all you need to do is connect it to your computer.  Then, using the software that came with the device, you can begin to transfer your data and files.If you have a big hard drive, you’ll want to get a bigger external hard drive.  If you are transferring your entire internal hard drive to the external drive, it may take you a few minutes.  You can also add files and such along the way as well, if you get newer files to add.  Backing up your entire hard drive to an external drive is a very smart idea, especially if your area gets a lot of electrical storms.Once you have backed up all of your data to an external hard drive, you can rest assured that your information will be there when you need it.  External drives don’t crash, for the simple fact that they aren’t in use until you need them.  They will last you many years as well, which makes them great for pictures and other precious files.  If you own a business, you may find them to the best way to store your business documents and other files that relate to your company.All in all, external hard drives are the perfect way to create a back up of your data.  Once you have your data backed up, you’ll be ready for anything that happens to your internal hard drive.  In the event of a crash, you can use your external hard drive and transfer the data back to your hard drive, and be back up and running in no time at all.  External hard drives take all of the guess work out of the data recovery process - and may also save you the trouble of having to send your hard drive off to be repaired.   For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.

Introduction to Programming

Are you looking for some inside information on computers? Here's an up-to-date report from computers experts who should know.Introduction to Programming
Controlling Your Computer with a Programming Language

In a previous article, we introduced automating some tasks with MS-DOS batch files. In this article, we're going to introduce programming and describe how it can be used to control the way your computer works. Normally, computer novices aren't interested in controlling the computer. New computer users are typically interested in learning more about how the thing works. However they may be surprised to learn that programming increases computer knowledge as a whole and it can help to diminish the fear associated with using a new computer.
Programming a computer is creating a sequence of instructions that enable the computer to do something.1 The people who program computers (called programmers) use a programming language to communicate with a computer. You might have heard of some of these languages in the past such as Visual Basic, C++, or Fortran. There are hundreds of other programming language and neither one is better than the other. Most of them are capable of performing the same tasks and achieving the same goals. A programmer chooses one language by a simple preference.
Each of these languages differ by the way they communicate with a computer however, and the commands that they follow are very specific. Not a single command of one language can be interchanged with the commands or language of another. But all of them can be used to control a computer.
Now it would be impossible to teach you how to program any language in a single article. But we can still introduce you to some of programming's most basic concepts - starting with the commands we talked about earlier. Commands are the instructions that a computer follows to perform an action. 2 To make them work inside of a program, programmers assign commands to objects like buttons for example.
The commands in a program are pretty useless unless they have some data to act on so programmers either give the programs some data to work with (list of names or numbers for example) or they make the program generate it's own data. Sometimes, the data comes from an outside source like the Internet or the computer that the program runs on. The data that a program receives is called input and data that the program generates is called output.
How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything.
Other times, the data is unknown. If the program were working with a simple algebra equation like, "x + 5 = y," the variables "x" and "y" would be unknown pieces of data. Or if a program were to calculate a date "x" days from now, the variable "x" would be an unknown piece of data until we tell the program what "x" is. In programming, it's sometimes required to work with unknown pieces of data.
That's when conditions come in handy. Conditions allow a program to perform an action based on the outcome of a previous command.3 Using this type of instruction, we could instruct a program to do one thing if the "x" variable in our latter example turned out to be 7 days, and then do different thing if the variable turned out to be 3 days.
Commands, data, variables, and conditions help build the most simple programs and there are certainly many more components of any programming language. But when they're typed into a programming language and compiled to create a an executable file (a file ending with the .exe extension), they turn into a software application. 
As we mentioned earlier, you can use a programming language to control your computer. By using simple commands, you can program your computer to perform mathematical tasks, fill out web forms, compose an email message and send it off, or any number of other things. If you're interested, you may find Visual Basic is one of the most easiest programming languages to learn. Visual Basic is an object-oriented programming language and it automatically codes much of a program the minute a programmer drags a button onto a screen.


If you've picked some pointers about computers that you can put into action, then by all means, do so. You won't really be able to gain any benefits from your new knowledge if you don't use it.

Home Computer Training

Would you like to find out what those-in-the-know have to say about computer training? The information in the article below comes straight from well-informed experts with special knowledge about computer training.Welcome home!  You're so excited to have your new computer system up and running.  It is pretty exciting, isn't it?  So what's next?  For some of you, you're off to the races, ready to go to the ends of the Internet.  For others, you may be staring at your new system like a calf staring at a new gate.  This is why most home users of personal computers can benefit from home computer training.  So what are some of the things a home computer user should get trained on?  Let's take a look at a short list of things you need to know to be efficient on your home computer and keep it running in tip-top shape.Home computer training should always include how to do back-ups.  It goes without saying that if something is important, you should have two copies of it.  It's nice to have a hard copy (print-out) of a document or file, but it's also nice to have a back-up of the actual computer file.  Just imagine what happens when the spreadsheet you've been using to balance your accounts suddenly get corrupted.  If you don't have a electronic copy of the file, then you will be stuck with re-entering all of the information by hand.  With home computer training you can get the skills to know how to best back up your files, which files to back up, and what utilities will best meet your needs.The best time to learn about computer training is before you're in the thick of things. Wise readers will keep reading to earn some valuable computer training experience while it's still free.Another area that should be covered through home computer training is that of file system maintenance.  At this point, we've already covered back-ups.  In this area, let's look at two areas that often get overlooked until the system slows down so much it is basically at a stand still.  One is disk cleanup and the other is file fragmentation.  Home computer training will help the new computer user learn how to recognize when a hard drive is becoming cluttered, and what to do about it.  Often, third party software creates temporary files while you are using it, and then conveniently neglects to delete these files when you are done.  In addition, trash can collect in your recycle bin as well.  Combine these with temporary internet files and cookies and you can be bogged down pretty quickly.  Home computer training will also help you understand what causes a file to get fragmented into dozens of pieces on your hard drive.  While this doesn't destroy the file, it sure does slow down the computer's access time to it, which increases your wait time while using that software or opening that particular project.A final area that is often overlooked by the new computer user is that of Internet security and setting up of the firewall.  A good home computer training class will cover how to set up your firewall, and how to optimize your Internet browser to ensure a good experience while online.All of these areas are important when operating a computer in this modern Internet age.  So be sure and address these when you are signing up for home computer training.  A good home computer training class will not only address these main issues, but go above and beyond in bringing you up to speed on modern computing.
Now you can be a confident expert on computer training. OK, maybe not an expert. But you should have something to bring to the table next time you join a discussion on computer training.

All About Data Recovery

At some point in time, everyone who owns a computer will experience the trials and tribulations of hard drive failure.  The reasons behind it vary, and could include everything from a human error to damages resulting from flood or water.  Viruses can play a role as well, along with many other factors.  For many years, the need to recover data that has been lost or destroyed has made data recovery such a very valuable asset. Almost all hard drives can be recovered.  Normally, if the drive is making a ticking or a scratching noise, you can use certain software programs to recover the data.  Sometimes, due to age or bad parts, the aperture arm in the hard drive can fail, or the platters can become damaged and lose the data that they hold.  If you can’t recover the information with software, you’ll need to send the hard drive off and have it either rebuilt or have technicians recover your data.Data recovery is always an option, from hard drives that are 2 GB in size to the largest of over 300    GB or more of data.  No matter what size hard drive you have, the data can generally be recovered.  Keep in mind that if you’ve had a computer crash, you’ll need to send the hard drive off to have the data recovered by technicians. One of the key benefits of data recovery is the fact that information can also be retrieved from the recycle bin as well.  Partition recovery, and even information that has been lost somewhere on the disk can be retrieved as well.  Even though it may seem like your data is gone forever - the technicians that specialize in data recovery can retrieve it.From Windows to Mac, everything can be recovered.  There are different filing structures and formats, including NTFS and FAT32.  These are common Windows filing structures, and hold all of the information for your hard.  Those of you who have multiple hard drives in your computer, can rest assured that RAID configurations can also be recovered.  If a single hard drive on the RAID configuration fails, the RAID setup will absorb the blow and there won’t be a loss of data.  On the other hand, if the entire RAID configuration crashes, it will crash big time.  Whenever this happens, you’ll need to send it off and have technicians restore both the RAID hardware and software. Anytime your hard drive happens to crash or malfunction, data recovery is there to help you get back your files.  Whether they are personally files or very important files that are need for business - you can put your trust in data recovery and know that you’ll get everything the back the way it was.    For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.

Seeking Out Joint Venture Partners

The only way to keep up with the latest about internet marketing is to constantly stay on the lookout for new information. If you read everything you find about internet marketing, it won't take long for you to become an influential authority.
Enjoying a successful joint venture partnership is dependent upon having the right partner.  Choose well and money will increase; choose poorly and both partners will lose. 
The secret to picking the correct joint venture partner is to do your homework.  I cannot emphasize enough the need for investigating your prospects and asking the proper questions.  By following a  few simple rules, you will be able to know both your partner's and your own interests will be addressed effectively.
If you don't have accurate details regarding internet marketing, then you might make a bad choice on the subject. Don't let that happen: keep reading.
First and foremost you need to check out your proposed partner's credibility.  If your are to realize any benefits from this relationship you have to join forces with a person who has a well- established relationship with their customers.  Part of this relationship must be a proven record of positive customer service. 
After you have decided what kind of person you want to enter into business with, it is time to start looking.  A person who is already doing business in your chosen area is a must-as long as this person isn't competing with you.  Keep in mind both partners must benefit.  This is best done when the products offered are not the same but go well together.
The last thing to look for is a partner who has a large customer list.  You don't want to spend your time and effort helping someone else grow a list at the same time you are trying to grow yours.  You need to make sure your partner's list is already well established.
As you can see this isn't a hard procedure that you have to follow to seek out a joint venture partner.  The most crucial element in picking a venture partner is to do your homework, ask your questions and get your answers before joining forces with anyone.  It wouldn't take much to jump in too quickly and choose a partner that will see your successful business go down the drain. You don't want to end up working harder with a partner than you do while on your own.
There's a lot to understand about internet marketing. We were able to provide you with some of the facts above, but there is still plenty more to write about in subsequent articles.

Small Business Owners: Should Your Hire the Services of a Professional Organizer?

When you think about small business tips, what do you think of first? Which aspects of small business tips are important, which are essential, and which ones can you take or leave? You be the judge.Are you a small business owner who just recently started to see success or profits?  If so, how easy is it for you to run your business, from a management standpoint?  Unfortunately, not all small business owners, especially new ones, are prepared for success.  That is why many small business owners end up getting in over the heads, especially when it comes to keeping all of their business records in order.  Of course, you can take the time to get yourself organized, but if you are like many other disorganized small business owners, you may end up right back where you started in as little as a few days.  For that reason, you may want to think about hiring the services of a professional organizer.When it comes to hiring the services of a professional organizer, there are many individuals who wonder exactly what one is.  Just as the title sounds, a professional organizer is an individual who not only has experience with getting and staying organized, but experience with helping others do so as well.  At first glance, hiring the services of a professional organizer may seem a little bit silly or ridiculous to you, but it is actually something that you should look into a little bit more.  When it comes to hiring the services of a professional organizer, if you want to do so, you will need to find a professional organizer to do business with.  Most professional organizers are small business owners themselves.  Many actually end up advertising their services online or in local newspapers. When finding a professional organizer to do business with, you may want to think about examining the number of small business owners, like you, that they have helped to train, the number of years experience they have teaching organizational skills and such.  Cost of training should also be examined.  I trust that what you've read so far has been informative. The following section should go a long way toward clearing up any uncertainty that may remain.Once you have found a professional organizer to do business with, it may be a little bit easier for you to understand how the process works.  One of the reasons for that is because different professional organizers work in different ways.  For instance, there are some that come in and organize your office without any help from you.  This is done by creating a detailed map or by labeling every box and drawer. There are other professional organizers who work with you to organize your small business, particularly your office.  This is nice because it also gives you the opportunity to know, firsthand, where everything is. Also, you may learn some neat tips from your professional organizer at the same time.  As a reminder, the hiring of a professional organizer is something that is optional, but it is something that you may want to look into a little bit more.  When it comes to running a small business, it is important that you keep accurate records of your business.  These records may be needed to obtain more financing in the future or to have your taxes prepared.  Not knowing where all of your important documents are can spell big trouble.  For instance, if you were trying to claim a business trip as a business expense, but you couldn’t find the trip receipts, you would have to lose out on a moneysaving tax deduction. That is why it is important that your small business paperwork is always up-to-date and organized.Knowing enough about small business tips to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about small business tips, you should have nothing to worry about.    For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.

Is It Safe To Download Computer Software From The Internet

People always ask is it safe to download computer software from the Internet. The answer to this question is that it is safe to download the software as long as a few considerations are identified. Sites that are legitimate should be considered, and sites that have reviews of software available are especially going to be good to look into.So, is it safe to download computer software from the Internet through a file sharing program? The answer to this is generally no. This is because while file sharing programs can be used to transfer files from one person to another there are some concerns to look into regarding these sites. Some of the files that may be offered for free on one of these sites may contain viruses or adware that will infect the computer.One of the questions people also have is “Is it safe to download computer software from the Internet from any site?” This is not something that should be done on just any ordinary site. Some places may offer free versions of programs and products that are available on the market at a cost. While this may sound like a really great offer there will be more trouble involved than there will be reward.The reason for this is that when a group online offers something for free for download, odds are some personal information may have to be sent. In other cases, the program may actually be a spyware product that will end up sending spyware to the computer that can slow it down. Sometimes it could even be a scam because the group that sends the software could use the personal information sent to use for credit card purchases in the user’s name. This can easily harm one’s credit rating or financial status.Is it safe to download computer software from the Internet through any other sites? It depends on the site that is being considered. There are all types of legitimate sites online to get software from. Download.com, ZDNet Downloads and GoLoads have all types of legitimate programs for download.Is it safe to download computer software from the Internet on any of those sites just mentioned? Of course it is! That is because these sites have legal sponsors and will offer reviews and advice on products that are offered for download. Customer reviews can be offered too from registered users, and in many cases, registration is not needed for downloading these files from these legal sites.One of the safest places to go for downloading software is a site that offers trial or shareware editions of software. These are retail products that are available to people in limited form or for a specific period of time. This is technically called advertising because the business that makes the product that can be downloaded will want the user to buy the actual product after time runs out or the user wants to use all of the features of the program. Of course, this makes it legitimate in that it is an actual product that can be tried before buying a license. Many people wonder if it is safe to download computer software from the Internet that is offered to them by emails. This might not be a good idea, it depends on the software and where it is coming form because if an email offers free software odds are very good that the software is actually a spam message that contains a virus or will add even more junk mail to one’s email account. The only attachments or programs that should be opened are from senders that the user is aware of, whether it is from a family member or a business that the person works for.So, is it safe to download computer software from the Internet? If a legitimate site is used for downloading the software, file sharing networks are avoided and emails or sites that offer free software with no obligations are avoided it will be safe. Be sure to use all of these considerations so that it will be easier to protect the computer and that the best and safest software can be downloaded onto the computer.     For help on any Computer Repair related issues contact us immediately, we can help.
