So you bought a modem, and you’re not getting the speed you expected.
Yep it is unavoidable to not get that broad band speed you expected from buying a Cellular Modem and you want to learn more about what can affect your upload/download speed on the modem. Each carrier has there own specific speeds or usage. We will go through each and everyone one them talking about the kinds of speeds:
- EVDO — is known as Evolution-Data Optimized and is most commonly around the major city areas. It is sometimes consider 3G and is considered the fastest in the industry. Although there are always going to be debates on who is the fastest, it really doesn’t matter because of the limitations of the networks.
- GPRS — General Packet Radio Service and is also part of the 3G network but requires different frequency to acquire the signals from the tower. This is used in lower end of companies due to the fact it is easier to maintain than EVDO, but the speed is still comparable to all the other 3G family because of the interdependency of the connectivity.
What is a Virus and Why do I have one
After seeing more and more the updates coming from the net. I wanted to talk about what a Computer Virus or Trojan is and how you get it. So how did you could of gotten a Virus in the first place. So here are some information to consider:
The vulnerability of operating systems to viruses
So what does that mean to you? Most of the times when you get a virus you have a vulnerability in some place in your Operating system and it is either something that has not be known by Microsoft, Apple, and Linux or is know as a Zero-day Exploit.
A zero-day (or zero-hour) attack or threat is a computer threat that tries to exploit unknown, undisclosed or patchfree computer application vulnerabilities. The term Zero Day is also used to describe unknown or Zero day viruses.

This is one of the most used because if it is an unknown exploit by the Operating System creators then they have a longer to us the exploit. Most of the time hackers like to use this because that means there is a possibility of finding even more vectors to infect other systems. You see if they can get on one system they can then find ways to get on other systems.
Are you asking to be scammed?
Comments OffAs we go further into the economic death, we are faced with the most undesirable aspect of the human culture. That is to say, scammers are going to use the chance to find people to scam. I don’t say this lightly because scammers have become more cunning and dubious through the years. They are actually using the internet as well as most companies. They are going to sites like Monster.com, Careerbuilder.com, and other hiring sites to get people to apply for jobs.
<<See Previous Post – Nationwide Marketing Scam
Having said that, I recently had a problem with being tried to be scammed. I applied to a job posted on Careerbuilder and that is how they got a hold of my home address. I did not think about the security problems associated with applying for jobs on line, until recently.
As you can see that is how they got a hold of my information and have made myself vulnerable to scams and also, other potential problems. I am talking about Theft ID and also spam. Although spam is to be expected with anything we do online. I’ve come to the conclusion that we will always have to deal with spam. I wanted to talk about how to be careful when you apply for online jobs and put your information out on the internet. I’ve started taking some steps to prevent this from happening again.

How to Improve Hulu’s Advertising :
Comments OffLately I’ve been looking though Hulu and seeing what else they have done. I’ve found a secret that most people don’t know or haven’t look at just yet. If your tired of some of the ads that come through Hulu. You have the chance to improve the ads by making your voice heard.
Although this isn’t anything new with some stuff. This however can create even better ads for hulu. You see if they can get the right demographic idea of what people like, then they will understand what we as a viewer likes. I simply love this idea. This is a tramendous step for Hulu, this means we have control over advertising, and we can make or break an ad depending on who likes it.
As you can see these are poping up on all or most of the ads. If you would like to make your voice be heard. All you have to do is when an ad comes to you and you like it or hate it just get out of full screen mode by hitting esc (only one time) and you too will see the choices when you hover over that area.
