10 Tips to Help Beginners Become More Comfortable with the Internet
Today (free of charge, zero money down, no shipping and handling) I’m providing you with a list of tips that, when followed, will cause your aura to radiate “INTERNET EXPERT” like a big, bright neon sign.
I suggest at least a modest attempt at making the following practices somewhat automatic for you. At the least, devotion to these practices will keep others’ eye-rolls, snickers, and impatient sighs at bay. At the most, you may find yourself being carried about on your co-workers shoulders all day, caught in an outpouring of endearing stares, listening to shouts and cheers of respect somewhere along the lines of “Hear hear for the Internet Expert!”
TIP #1: Never ever use the terms “AOL” and “Internet” as if they were completely interchangeable.
Example no-no: Someone asks if your company has a website. You reply, “Oh yeah! We’re totally on AOL!” Big awful buzzer sound here. AOL is NOT the Internet; AOL is simply one of many browsers that allows you to maneuver about the Internet. It is also a company that likes to put holographic CDs covered with infomercial-like promotions in post offices in attempts of persuading more people into using their services.
TIP #2: Click correctly.
When you’re surfing about the Internet, you likely get from place to place using hyperlinks (a.k.a. “links”). You should be aware that links require nothing more than a single click from the left button on your mouse. Double (or triple . . . or quadruple) clicking and right-clicking on links when you simply want to be taken to a different location are a few of the primary causes of those behind-your-back eyerolls you may not know people have been sending your way. Remember this: With links on the Internet, “one-click, that’s it.”
TIP #3: Remember that search engines are for searching, not for typing in complete URLs.
This means that you do NOT need to head over to Google or Yahoo Search or any other search engine to reach the specific website you already know you want to visit. Instead of typing “www.google.com” into your address bar and then typing in the URL of the site you want to visit in the search box. . . just SKIP going to Google and type the URL of the site you want to visit in the address bar instead!
TIP #4: Understand the term “download” and know how to pull files off the Internet onto your computer when you need/would like them. If you are unclear about the term ‘downloading’, take a look at the simple explanation offered right here.
TIP #5: Use an Internet browser that’s not older than your average kindergartner.
I’ll tell you right now: if you’re using something along the lines of Netscape 1.0 (born 1994) or Internet Explorer 2.0 (born 1996)—you’re seriously not appearing Internet Savvy. To be completely honest, even the use of AOL or Internet Explorer 5 to navigate the web won’t help your image (or your overall Internet experience) all that much either. To appear savvy, consider downloading and using something a bit more recent, such as Internet Explorer 7, or Firefox 3.
TIP #6: When someone’s surfing the Internet with you and they ask you to “open up a new window,” do NOT furrow your brow and say “huh??”.
This will most definitely not make you appear Internet savvy. Instead simply reply (in an oh-so-suave tone, of course) “Why, of course!”. Then either hold down the “Ctrl” and then the “N” keys on your keyboard OR click on the “File” menu button at the top of the browser screen, then click on “Open New Window.” Many people find that having more than one browser window open at once is extremely handy for viewing multiple websites simultaneously. Try it out.
TIP #8: Whenever a friend or coworker asks a question that no one in the near vicinity can answer, calmly say “Oh I know that.”
Then excuse yourself for just a moment, run to your computer, hop on the Internet, access Google (or your favorite search engine), look up the answer, and return to the questioning party with an eloquent, detailed explanation. Simply being aware that the Internet is home to a mind-boggling amount of information about pretty much everything instantly makes you appear more savvy in general to those around you. It may also encourage you to search the Internet with more regularity, which in turn boosts your true Internet savvy—not simply the appearance of it.
TIP #9: DO NOT click on flashing advertisements that: a) claim you’re the sites 1,000,000th visitor, b) ask you what your favorite color is and show you 4 or 5 circles or hearts or something of the sort, c) state that you were randomly chosen from all site visitors to win $100, etc. etc. etc.
People who are Internet savvy know that those type of advertisements are nothing more than tremendous wastes of time.
TIP #10: For heaven’s sake: always remember that the Internet does not bite.
So don’t act like it does—especially when you’re in the company of others. Doing so will not make you appear Internet savvy.
And that, my friends, is a list of tips that should help you on your way. If you don’t actually become Internet-savvy, well then, I suppose at the very least . . . you can at least appear it. Have fun!

How to Become a Computer Network Administrator
about 2 months ago - No comments
So you want to learn how to become a network administrator. This could be your next step towards a challenging, fulfilling and rewarding career in the information technology field. The future looks bright for this career – in 2006 the Bureau of Labor Statistics estimated that the field of network administration will have grown by 18 percent by 2016, adding 155,000 new jobs. As a network administrator you can manage online functions, local area networks and wide area networks for businesses, government agencies and/or nonprofit organizations. But before anything else you will need to get some education and training.
Most network administrators enter this career after getting a bachelor’s degree in computer science, although there are other degree options. If you get an associate’s degree in computer science or a bachelor’s degree in a related field like math or engineering, but you have taken computer classes and earned the most sought-after certifications, you should still have a bright future in this industry.
Whatever educational path you take, it also really helps to complete an internship program while you’re in school. This way you’ll have some experience to boost your résumé, and you may even get a job at that company once the internship is over.
Once you have gotten your education and training out of the way, then you need to update that résumé to include all your experience and start applying for jobs. If you weren’t able to get hired at the company you interned at, try to see what kind of services your school’s career center offers. There are also online job boards geared toward network administrators and other tech jobs. You may also find some part time, temporary or freelance positions that are immediately available if you can’t find a full time job in this field right away.
It’s never been a better time to be a network administrator. The salary range for network administrators in the United States is ,520 to ,000 per year, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics. With experience and merit there’s no reason why you can’t earn a salary in the top of that range.

Jetking also provides 100% job employment opportunities to their students thus giving them a good start the minute they step outside the institute.
Computer Technology Merging With TV Technology More All the Time
about 3 months ago - No comments
Over the past decade, there has been a phenomenal amount of crossover between computer technology and TV technology. This is especially surprising given the fact that most Americans have largely rejected the idea of a living room computer. However, most of the computer technology that has found its way into the living room hasn’t had the overt appearance of a personal computer.
The earliest example of an acceptable piece of computer equipment in the home entertainment center (that wasn’t a video game platform) was the digital TV receiver. The widespread use of these devices actually dates back to the early nineteen nineties when satellite TV became economically viable for typical households. By all outward appearances, it would have been easy to blur digital TV receivers together with any other set top box, but underneath it all was the fact that they converted digital data to the sounds and images that made up TV.
The DVD player was a much more obvious example of the blurring between computer and TV technologies. After all, by the time that DVD players became common, CD-ROM drives had been on computers for years. Since both are optical drives, and computers and DVD players loaded their discs in similar ways, the resemblance was pretty plain. Of course, CD’s had been in stereo systems and computers for years, so people were already used to seeing the resemblance there.
]]>
The next major change was the digital video recorder. DVR’s as these devices are more commonly known, can record video onto computer hard disks and then play that video back later. Most models also automatically record whatever the viewer is watching live in order to enable the pausing and rewinding of live TV. Among the advantages that DVR’s have over VCR’s is an ease of programming that none of the manufacturers of VCR’s ever got right. Another advantage of DVR technology is an ability to watch recorded programs in any order. That’s because a hard disk doesn’t store video sequentially like a video tape does. In other words, a video file can simply be accessed without the time wasted cuing through other videos.
Over the years, computers have also taken on a number of the same capabilities that’s previously only been reserved for TV sets. For example, it’s been possible to buy a special TV tuner that can be installed in a computer for years. These devices allow computers users to watch TV right on their computer screens. These days though, this capability is standard on many computers to some extent. For example, most modern computers can display streaming Internet video on their screens and laptop computers have been used to watch DVD’s for years. There are also now special adapters available that contain a TV tuner and connect to laptop computers through a USB port so that users of laptop computers can watch TV on the screens of their laptops.
The most obvious hybrid between computers and TV equipment is the media center computer. These devices are DVD players, DVR’s, digital receivers, and Internet browsing machines all combined into a single unit. They’re likely to be the future of TV technology.
Hosting Tips, Free Web Hosting Vs. Paid Web Hosting Services
about 5 months ago - No comments
Web site hosting companies exist to provide users access in putting up a web site on the Internet. There is a myriad of different web hosting companies online that are offering web space on their servers for any willing customer. They will even give Internet connectivity generally in a center of data.
Many different types of web hosting companies exist out there. Mostly, they are classified as either a free or a paid web site hosting service company.
A free hosting company will offer a user free uploads of web content to their web site that the service has provided without charging you anything. This kind of service can be great for anyone new to the Internet or creating their own website since it is both easy and cheap. If you wish to become familiar with web site creation, this is probably your best option.
However, if you are going to use a paid hosting service you will have to pay to upload content on your website whenever the periodical fee is due.
Usually, the price will vary between the many companies out there. This type of web hosting company will work great for anyone that wishes to be a professional website owner. If you plan on getting a lot of visitors this is the way to go since a free web hosting company limits how many viewers you can receive.
Paid companies will get their revenue off of users paying their periodical fee to the company. On the other hand, a free service will make their money from placing ads and banners on the web pages of their clients.
The main advantage of using a free service is that they are free of cost and hence make a perfect choice for people who are new into the business and are just looking to start out.
They are perfect for people who just want to display a minimum content on the World Wide Web in small amount of web space.
In addition, these companies have easy to use uploading tools so that almost anyone can use them. Although, you should know that such services that are free will utilize people new to all of this to make their revenue.
Furthermore, there are some disadvantages to hosting services like this that you need to consider. When you use a free service like this you will be made to allow the company to place advertisements on banners on your web page. Also, any money made from these ads will go to the company not you.
This is quite the opposite with paid hosting service companies. Any ads or banners that are placed on your web page are by your choosing and any revenue generated from such ads goes directly into the users pocket.
There are even some free hosting companies that will force you to have their domain name placed in front of your web site name. A paid service will not do this and you will have a unique domain name.
Finally, the web space provided by free hosting companies is limited whereas in case of paid service you can buy the web space according to your requirements.

IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force
about 11 months ago - No comments
An Overview of the Internet Engineering Task Force
The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) is a large open global community of set of connections designers, operators and sellers among others who are mostly concerned with the development of the internet structural design as well as the even process of the internet. On this basis, IETF is always open to any interested person from the whole world. Importantly, this organization has an open and formal culture which can be evident from the way elections are conducted. In this case, voting members are elected in accordance to an indiscriminative process in order to assure balanced sections in the organization. Additionally, the study of outfitted and technological problems with the internet, identifying set of rules and architectural explanations, and making suggestions to the course-plotting committee is the main work of the Internet Engineering Task Force (Okin, 2005).
It should be noted that, there are working groups in IETF organization that perform most of the work. This is done by selecting a particular interesting internet topic and with the help of the group’s chair, the topic is thoroughly researched. On this basis, these study topics are well organized and they help to add knowledge to the learning of internet. In this case, the researchers, vendors, and operators use the knowledge of internet in conducting their businesses. Importantly, the work done by the working groups in this organization is arranged and documented in one or more ‘Request for Comments’ which are used in defining the internet works (Coleman, 2009).
Basically, the increased scale and technical complexity of the internet has made the IETF to undergo some growing pains and challenges in trying to regulate the similar increase in their own tasks. The overview of the operations of the Internet engineering Task Force has changed considerably following its growth and development over the years. Arguably, the main mechanism does not change from publication of summary stipulations, appraisal and testing by participants as well as republication. It is of importance top note that, IETF develops and promotes internet standards through studying internet thoroughly by the use of the study groups. In this case, all people or participants in this organization are volunteers despite the fact that their work in mainly founded by the employers. On this basis, through the spirit of volunteering participants are abler to conduct studies and come up with very viable recommendations which are tabled to the steering committee (Internet Engineering Task Force, 1992).
Certainly, the working groups are organized into different areas by the subject matter of the topic selected. In this relation, they are able to widely understand the concept of internet as they continue studying it. In relation to the different areas, the main ones include internet, operations, management, transport, applications, and security among others. The Internet Engineering Task force as a part of internet society is overseen by the Internet Architectural Board (IAB). On this basis, the Internet Architectural Board is controls the IETF external relationships, its Administrative Oversight Committee which manages the IETF Administrative Support Activity (Okin, 2005).
Certainly, there are very crucial meetings held by IETF but vary greatly in terms of areas where they are held. On this basis, most of the meetings are usually held where it is very convenient to most of the volunteers. Previously, the Internet Engineering Task Force organization has been having three meetings a year but this is currently changing into two meetings a year. In this case, these meetings are held in all parts of the world with most of the meetings being held in North America, Europe, and Asia. In order to reduce operational costs in the organization, communal funding of these meetings is characteristically a very essential factor (Coleman, 2009).
Origin of the Internet Engineering Task Force
The foundation of the Internet Engineering Task Force dates back in the year 1986 when the first meeting was held that comprised of 21 American government financed researchers. At its initial stages, the meetings held had very few people not more that 35 until in the 13th meeting where 120 people were recorded as present members. In early 1990′s, these meeting had expanded in terms of number of attendees and the scope of the topics discussed. It is of importance to note that, the internet /engineering Task Force was founded in America when some American funded researchers initiated the need to study internet. On this basis, the internet society was the home of IETF and other internet process standardization. In this case, this organization was founded by researchers, vendors, designers, and operators in order to study internet and internet services (Internet Engineering Task Force, 1992).
From the time it was founded in 1986, it has been very successful in many things concerning internet studies. It was a very small group at its initial stages and hence faced a lot of challenges and pains before it could develop. This organization in its initial stages received its funding from the American government. When the number of the members attending the arranged meetings increased, they were divided into operational groups that volunteered in conducting studies. These groups have been very successful in many endeavors especially in all the nine areas of the organization. Presently, the Internet Engineering Task Force is very large with so many members from all over the world. It is of importance to note that, the volunteering members are usually directed by directors and managers who guide them on the functions to undertake. The Internet Engineering Task force has developed and expanded to be very large with a lot of functions being undertaken by the formed groups (Okin, 2005).
The purpose of the Internet Engineering Task Force
It is of importance to note that, the Internet Engineering Task Force working groups have focused goals rather than broad and genetic problems. On this basis, the mission of the IETF is to make sure that internet works better as they provide high valuable, pertinent technological records that are used as an influence of the way people design, utilize, and oversee the internet in different ways. As a result of this, the working groups in IETF have work very hard to study every aspect of internet in order to make recommendations and conclusions to the Internet Engineering Task Force’s steering committee (Coleman, 2009).
Basically, the most important functions of the Internet Engineering Task Force are based on the establishment and selection of standards within the internet set of rules. Additionally, the IETF is based on coordinating with the groups engaged in the technical establishment of new procedures. Currently, the advancement in technology and scientific research has enabled the IETF to take a global form and induces designers, sellers, operators, and researchers who are dedicated in the even running of the internet and establishing its architectural structures. Additionally, the IETF establishes and promotes internet standards that help operators and researchers to use internet in their businesses. On this basis, these study topics conducted by the working groups are well organized and they help to add knowledge to the learning of internet (Internet Engineering Task Force, 1992).
Conclusion
In winding up, the Internet Engineering Task Force is an organization that helps in understanding the internet through the study topics. On this basis, the working groups in this organization work in different areas in order to meet the objectives of the organization. As a result of this, many researchers, vendors, designers, and operators have benefited from the studies in expanding their businesses.
Network Security And Ethical Hacking – A Boon To Internet Age

A group of people say that hackers are of no good to community. But we say that they are the most useful persons today on earth in the Internet Age. From when and where it started? It started from the very early age when computers were invented, i.e., in 1960′s when MIT’s Artificial Intelligence Lab became the staging ground for hackers. At that time, they were considered as persons with high mastery of computers. After then in 1970′s John Draper, most commonly known as Captain Crunch who invented making free long distance calls by blowing only a precise tone in telephone that tells the phone system to open a line. After Captain Crunch two members of California’s Homebrew Computer Club begin making Blue Boxes which were used to hack into phone systems. Do you know who the two persons were? They are two of the founders of Apple Inc. Can anyone tell what their names are? They are Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak. In 1980′s came the main computer hacker groups who were the Legion of Doom in United States and the Chaos Computer Club in Germany. In later years of 1990′s, the malicious hackers become very powerful. In 1990′s Kevin Mitnick was arrested who now serves FBI to secure their data and has a firm known as Mitnick Securities. Simultaneously Hackers break into and deface websites which included U.S. Department of Justice, U.S. Air Force, CIA, NASA and many more. And now in late 2000′s came a new name in the field of Network Security, GM Network Security, who provides platform to people to secure their systems, networks and websites so they can be assured of lesser hacking and virus attempts than before. Some services of GM Network Security are free of cost whereas some are charged at nominal rates.

Successful Internet marketing ? Why You Should Build Up Your Own List
about 11 months ago - No comments
The best way to make your own websites flourish is by developing your own list. I am strongly emphasizing the word “own”, as many people go for what they think is “the easy option” and purchase instead a database of email addresses from online companies.
Well, although at first, it might appear to some to be the “easy way”, it is more often than not ineffective and the money spent on such product could have been used more effectively elsewhere!
People hate receiving unsolicited emails
People simply do not respond well to emails they have not asked for, and this is often felt by many as an annoying“intrusion”.
Think about it for a minute, do you enjoy having your email box invaded by unsolicited offers? No? Well you are not alone.
Even if you’ve spent a huge amount of time producing a “state of the art” email template, it will be totally meaningless if the people on the receiving end did NOT subscribe to it. They will straight away see it as “junk email” or “spam” and subsequently hit the delete button of their PCs.
So, essentially, what it means is that you could have a database containing a million email addresses, and end up considering yourself lucky if your open rate is above 0.1%!
Poor list quality
Almost certainly, the email addresses would have been generated by an automated program, robots, or any other harmful application.
Furthermore, when you receive your list, many of the email addresses would have already expired (in some cases a few years ago) or are totally non-existent. There is absolutely no way of knowing!
Developing your own list is the best way!
You are much better off building a list collected from your own private, reliable sources than acquiring a stack of meaningless and unknown email addresses.
You will be in total control of your list, because every single person listed there would have signed-up on their own free will. By filling the opt-in form and providing you with their private details, they are effectively demonstrating that they have an obvious interest in your niche. They will therefore be more receptive to receiving your emails. When they are no longer interested in your niche, they can simply unsubscribe from your list.
Unquestionably, developing your own subscriber list is the most efficient way to build up an effective mailing list.
