Choosing Between A Smartphone , a Tablet , a Netbook or a Notebook (Laptop)

How much ever people use smart phones today, I am sure they won't throw their conventional laptop computers into the gutter. That's because, there are lot of things a smartphone cannot do and similarly there are lot of things that a laptop cannot do. Hence smartphones and laptops are two things that do not jeopardize the existence of each other. If iPad has to be a perfect bridge between a smartphone and a conventional laptop, it should completely fade away the need to carry our laptops.

Can we manage our daily routine with iPad dumping our laptops into the gutter ??.

With No Webcam, No Multitasking, No Flash, No USB port, No SD Card,.. iPad is simply an enlarged iPhone !!!. It's an entertaining gadget simply.

Tablets(Samsung Galaxy / Dell Streak/ I Pad) are fun and productive mobile devices in slim and lightweight packages, but their lack of built-in hardware keyboards and, usually, traditional operating systems, may make most slates less suitable for business purposes. If you need to run applications that aren't web-based or available on a mobile app, look instead at netbooks for your secondary/travel device.

A Netbook is far more promising device which is a perfect bridge between a smartphone and conventional laptop !! (It relieves us from the need to carry laptops and with various location based services including GPS, it can do most of the things that a smartphone does)

Make a list of all the ways you use a laptop to determine whether your smartphone could replace it. Are you using your laptop to type a lot? That is, typing, as in large documents, not just emails or comments on Facebook. Of course they make keyboards for smartphones, so even the idea of typing large documents doesn't have to be a smartphone deterrent. The downside is the size of the screen. If you are typing a lot and re-reading your materials, you may face eyestrain with a smartphone.

What type of software are you using? If you are a business professional who needs to put together large documents, spreadsheets, multimedia presentations, etc - then of course it makes sense to have a larger screen and thus a laptop.

In Laptops, You will also have better speakers and nicer resolution. Many smartphones aren't made for video either, only small clips.

The types of online games you play will determine which device to have though. Games that require heavy graphics and visuals, should of course should be played on a laptop. Even with this said, choose a laptop that is made for gaming. Among the smartphones, the iPhone has been leading the pack in game varieties with Android phones second and Blackberry way in the back.

 

 

Netbooks are typically used as secondary laptops (Travel Laptops) rather than sole work computers (Desk top/ Laptop)

In general, netbooks are best used as secondary computing devices and travel laptops. Their small size and weight are great for mobility, but netbooks' lower processing capabilities means working on them can be more difficult: opening applications on a netbook takes more patience than on more robust systems, multi-tasking can cripple your system, and processor-intensive applications like graphics editing aren't really compatible with netbooks. Netbooks' small screen sizes and less-than-full-sized keyboards may also make working on them for long periods of time less comfortable compared to working on full-sized laptops or desktop PCs.

Primarily Netbooks are intended for web surfing, basic media viewing, and working on office docs.

Still, netbooks are becoming mainstream due to their long battery lives, multiple connectivity options (wireless-n and, often, mobile broadband), and great portability.

Upgrade or accessorize a netbook to make it a better business laptop

Some netbooks are considered business-class and a few offer customizable or above-average specs (higher resolution display, solid state hard drive (SSD), Windows 7 Home Premium instead of Windows 7 Starter, more memory, etc.). These higher-end netbooks can outshine an outdated laptop or desktop PC, depending on the kind of work you plan to do on it.

If you add a second or external monitor for when you are at home and an external DVD drive if needed for your work, you may not even notice any limitations in the netbook model type.

 

 

 

Ideal Work Tasks for Netbooks

Netbooks are ideal for activities like surfing the Web and using programs that don't require a lot of processing power, such as office applications. If you have a job that primarily involves the following types of tasks, a netbook may well be enough for your business needs:

Doing online research

Checking and responding to emails

Working on basic office documents: spreadsheets, word processing documents, and presentations

Using web-based applications for collaborating on documents, CRM, appointment scheduling, and more

Attending virtual meetings via video conferencing and IM solutions

Pretty much any web-based or cloud computing purpose

Tips for Working on a Netbook

 

Temper your expectations for what you can do on a netbook and how they work. Programs are a little slower to open than you may be used to, and you may not be able to open more than a handful of programs at the same time without slowing your system down.

If you have an operating system choice, go for Windows 7 (and preferrably Windows 7 Home Premium). Windows 7 is faster (and loads more quickly) than previous Windows versions and new features like the program dock in the taskbar make working on a small computer easier.

Customize your program toolbars to save screen real estate. Netbook screens aren't very tall, so for more vertical space, tweak your toolbar buttons and select to display only those toolbars you need for your work task (toolbar options are usually found in the View menu). You might not need the Bookmarks Toolbar, for example, in Firefox.

Follow important mobile security precautions. Netbooks are prime targets for thieves and also very easy to lose.

Avoid 'Free Public WiFi' Network At All Costs

http://www.infopackets.com/news/security/2010/20101013_avoid_free_public_wifi_network_at_all_costs.htm

How secure is your wireless network? Are your neighbours eavesdropping
on your Internet connection (are you sure)? Have you ever used your
laptop or netbook to connect to an unknown network in order to get on
the Internet?

If you've answered "Yes" to any of these questions, you are putting
yourself at a huge security risk. So, what steps can you take to
better protect yourself, your personal information, and your PC?

Here's a list of 10 things you need to know about Wireless Internet
and Security when it comes to using your Windows PC:

1. Never, ever connect to an unencrypted, or unsecured network.

When viewing the list of available networks in MS Windows, encrypted
and secure networks have padlocks as their icon or will specifically
state "Secure" or "Unsecured". By connecting to an unsecured network,
it's possible for just about anyone (hackers included) to connect
directly to your computer and take your files, financial information,
sniff passwords, install a Trojan, or worse. The ability to do any of
the previously mentioned tasks depends on a number of factors: some of
which will be explained below.

2. Always use a software Firewall when connecting to any network
(wireless or wired).

In short, firewalls block non-legitimate outside traffic from getting
into your PC. Windows XP Service Pack 2, Windows Vista, and Windows 7
come pre-configured to use the Windows Firewall which is accessible
though the Control Panel and may or may not be turned on by default.
If you don't have a firewall, you can download one for free (for
personal use):

http://personalfirewall.comodo.com/

3. Turn off or disable your WiFi when you're not using it.

Disabling your WiFi may be as easy as flicking on / off a "WiFi"
switch on your laptop or netbook. If you can't find that switch, you
can disable wireless networks through the Windows Control Panel. To
find out how, search Google for "disable wireless network" plus
"windows xp" or whatever version of Windows you're using, for example.

4. Verify the the Network Name (SSID) you're connecting to.

Hackers can and will set up wireless hotspots alongside legitimate
WiFi networks to fool you into clicking on their rogue wireless
network. If you don't pay attention to which network you're connecting
to, you're essentially giving the malicious network (and anyone
connected to the malicious network) access to anything you transmit to
and from your PC.

As the Paul Kretkowski from DailyWireless.com put it: "At a recent
stay at a high-rise Chicago hotel, one colleague called the front desk
to figure out which of the dozens of available [WiFi] hotspots he
should use. It turned out that the hotel had a powerful hotspot
positioned on every floor -- but other WiFi signals emanated from
hotel guests' laptops and wireless routers." (Source:
http://www.dailywireless.com/features/surf-wireless-safely-051507/)

5. Disable Windows Print and File Sharing.

If your PC is set up to share files and you connect to an unsecured
network, anyone can get straight into your computer and obtain your
files. For more information, refer to this Microsoft Security
bulletin:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/199346

6. Keep your operating system (MS Windows) up to date. If you don't
keep your operating system up to date, your computer essentially has
gaping security holes that can allow anyone from the outside in and
with (most of the time) 100% administration rights to do what they
please.

In short, Vulnerabilities and exploits are used by hackers and
malicious websites, which can supersede the protection of a firewall
or antivirus / anti-malware protection. To avoid these pitfalls, you
must install updates regularly on your PC.

7. Install Windows XP SP3 if you haven't aleady.

Microsoft recommends that all Windows XP users should have at least
Windows Service Pack 3 installed when connecting to a WiFi network.
This is because older versions of the Windows XP operating system (OS)
will initialize an ad-hoc network with the same title as the last one
to which it made a successful connection. In this case, if the network
you tried to connect to was malicious, the name not only stays in the
list of available networks, but spreads every time a new person
connects to your PC.

8. Secure your own WiFi Network: using encryption.

If you're not using encryption on your own home connection, you're
allowing anyone and everyone in your area free access to your network
(and possibly files), plus your Internet access. For more information
on how to encrypt your wireless network, contact your Internet
provider.

9. Secure your own WiFi Network: using a strong password.

With respect to #8 above, use a strong security password when your
encrypting your network. If your network password is easy to guess,
almost anyone can get in.

10. Secure your own WiFi Network: by not broadcasting your SSID.

SSID stands for "Service Set Identifier," and is the name of your home
network (used by your router) which supplies the WiFi signal. If
outside people can't see your SSID, it lessens (but does not
completely limit) the chance that they can connect to your network.

Size

Results from LifeStyles condom manufacturer's study of penis size, displayed in inches. The data is listed by percentile (i.e. a male with a 6 in (15.24 cm) penis is greater in length than 70 percent of those measured.)

Main article: Human penis size 
While results vary across studies, the consensus is that the average erect human penis is approximately 12.9-15 cm (5.1-5.9 in) in length with a 95% confidence interval of (10.7 cm, 19.1 cm) or (4.23 in, 7.53 in).^[27][28][29] The typical girth or circumference is approximately 12.3 cm (4.84 in) when fully erect. The average penis size is slightly larger than the median size (i.e. most penises are below average in size). 
A research project, summarizing dozens of published studies conducted by physicians of different nationalities, shows that worldwide, erect-penis size averages vary between 9.6 and 16 cm (3.8 and 6.3 in). It has been suggested that this difference is caused not only by genetics, but also by environmental factors such as culture, diet, chemical/pollution exposure,^[30][31][32]etc. Endocrine disruption resulting from chemical exposure has been linked to genital deformation in both sexes (among many other problems). 
The longest officially documented human penis was a find by Doctor Robert L. Dickinson. It was 34.3 cm (13.5 in) long and 15.9 cm (6.26 in) around.^[33]

Make love often. This is a tough one to do in a relationship because work, kids, and household chores don't always leave time and energy for sex with your partner. But, sex is important in a relationship and should be made a priority. Try making a plan to make love at least twice a week: once during the week and once on the weekend. Stick to this as best you can so that you and your partner know that when to expect intimacy. While this isn't always romantic, you can make it so by turning on some soft music, lighting candles, or taking a bubble bath together. Making love will keep you and your partner close and keep the relationship new and exciting. Without sex, a relationship becomes dull and partners become more like roommates than lovers. It's important to make sex a priority so that both partners feel a connection to one another. By making love at least twice a week, you'll keep the spark a live and help your relationship to become exciting and new again.
