Personal Technology InformationComputer Performance TipsIntroduction In this article I will clearly spell out the most effective steps you can take in order to increase the performance of your computer and enhance your computing experience. Getting Started with HTMLThe basic language of the internet is html. If you can do crossword puzzles, if you can write a report for your teacher or boss, you can be creating web pages in a matter of minutes. Image Conversion In ComputersJPEG, GIFF/JIFF, BMP, and TIFF are the most commonly used formats for storing still image files such as photographs, graphics, and drawings. JPEG stands for Joint Photographic Experts Group and is a standard for image compression. 404 Error Pages: What Are They And How Do You Create One?We?ve all seen them, you?ve been browsing a website and you click a link and nothing loads apart from the words ?404 Error? along with the usual stuff. Image Formats: GIF, JPEG, BMPWhen browsing the internet you are likely to come across many different image formats. However, the most common formats are: CompuServe GIF, JPEG, and Bitmaps. How I Started Working With 3D Modeling ProgramsSo I'll start from the very beginning. Bluetooth Technology: Tips for Buying Headsets or HeadphonesThe technological horizon has always got something new to offer, and among the most recent of these offerings is Bluetooth enhanced hardware. For those of you who are unfamiliar with this latest-and-greatest technology, headsets and headphones in the Bluetooth line offer the ability to use your cell phone without the need for hands or dangling wires. In other words, when you have one of these, you?ve got yourself a wireless piece of hardware that attaches to the ear which allows cell phone communications to take place without the inconvenience or hassle of holding the phone to your ear or trailing long wires from the headset to the body of the phone. Taking Advantage of the iPod ExperienceMusic lovers have been carrying around radios and other bulky music devices in order to take their tunes along with them as they go from place to place. With the iPod ? a portable unit that?s manufactured by Apple ? the music experience offers a higher quality in a much more compact size. Portable Technology: Getting to Know the TreoUp until the recent past, those who wanted to take advantage of a mobile phone, data organizer, wireless e-mail with text messaging, web browsing and a digital camera had to have separate units for each. With today?s technology comes the Treo ? offering all of those features in one small hand-held unit. These pocket-sized marvels even offer a fully functional standard keyboard, enabling users to fulfill all of their communication needs as they would from the PC at work or home. Best of all, it?s incredibly easy to use! Home Electronics: The Facts About Plasma TVNot so many years ago, homes across the country watched their favorite TV shows on a bulky floor model that took awhile to warm up before you could see the picture, didn?t offer anything in the way of remote control manipulation and offered a washed out image on the TV?s cathode ray tube hosted screen...and folks were thrilled to have such marvelous technology in their midst. Today, all of that?s been changed, with the introduction of plasma TV. Consumer Electronic Information: The Basics of the DLP ProjectorProjectors have come a long way in the past few decades. The desktop fossils that were once used to show home movies or classroom filmstrips are a thing of the past. With today?s technology, you can now experience a projected movie that emulates a full-blown theater flick, without the time, effort and hassle of standing in line at the local cinema. Selecting the Perfect Big Screen TVSelecting a TV isn?t as easy as it used to be in years gone by. Rather than going to the local department store and choosing a console that would take up a large portion of the living room, we now have other options. Along with those options comes the chore of locating, comparing and narrowing down a multitude of models to just the right one for your viewing needs. EDTV: What You Should Know Before You Make That PurchaseEnhanced Definition Television ? also known as EDTV ? is one of the many modern viewing technologies of our time. Often confused with HDTV capability, this is actually a compromise between standard TV and HDTV. In fact, the visual benefits are at least twice that of standard television, since EDTV technology offers a minimum resolution of 480p when used on a monitor. As a result, you?ll find that this type of system is more expensive than standard television, yet cheaper than HDTV technology. Why Get a Microsoft MCSE Certification?In the years of the dot com boom and bust, the Microsoft MCSE Certification has gotten its eye blackened over an over. Paper Microsoft MCSE's who were excellent at finding brain dumps and passing exams gave the Microsoft MCSE Certification a bad name. What used to be a guarantee of a nice salary is now ridiculed in some ignorant circles. After working in the Information Technology field for twelve years I still believe the Microsoft MCSE Certification is worth every dollar you spend and every hour spent in study and practice. I'll share my history with the Microsoft MCSE Certification and why I still believe it?s a valuable certification credential.
