You Are Accessing Internet Now
Posted by adoex in Education, Technology on February 16, 2012
There is no doubt that the use of internet becomes very essential for humans’ life now. Internet helps people in many ways, many reasons, and many needs. World Wide Web provides people a lot of things even the things which are unreachable before. It is the example; you may never be able to know what kind animals and what kind of plants living under the surface of the sea if you do not go online and get the information in the internet. You may also access internet for a very simple reason like logging in to a social network just to say hello to some friends. In fact, you are reading this because you are online now, aren’t you?
A lot of things are able to be done through internet. You may access internet because you need something related to your life, love, or laugh. When you need some information related to education, health, sports, economics, life style, entertainment and many more, internet should be the best place where you can find the information. If you are a teacher, you will be easier to find some learning materials from internet rather than finding the materials from other sources. You might try to invest you money through internet since there are many sites available for you who want to invest. In addition, you are able to compare some related information from several sites so that you can conclude by yourself which one is the most trusted information.
Another strong reason why you need to be friendly with the internet is because you can make money here. You can just simply write some articles, post them and wait for your money. Further, through internet, your business will be more promising. You may create your own site to sell your products and offer your skills or you may advertise them at a site that provides you space for advertisements. Finally, just live your life with the internet.
Tips for a Malware-Free Android Smartphone
Posted by adoex in Technology on February 8, 2012
Since malware is increasingly rising for the Android platform day by day, you must pay firm attention to what is going on your phone or tablet. Smartphones are basically computers – and all PCs are at risk to viruses, phishing, including various attacks from malicious software.
Here are quick ways to keep your Android phone free of malware
Find out the app’s publisher: What other apps does the publisher offer? Does the publisher run its own website? What are the kinds of apps on offer, do they look fishy? If so, you may probably consider staying away. Go through online reviews, but take note that Android Market reviews should not be fully trusted. Browse through to see what highly regarded websites like AppBrain, PCWorld, or AppLib are saying about such like app before you click on the download button.
Always authenticate app permissions: Before you download or update an app, you should see a list of consents for it. For example, an alarm clock app perhaps shouldn’t need to look on your contacts. The general law of thumb: If an app is requesting for too much what it requires to do, then it’s advisable to skip it.
Stay away from directly installing Android Package files (APKs): for example when Angry Birds came to Android initially, you could download it only by using a third-party app store and “sideloading” it, having the app installed by using an APK file. Even though Angry Birds wasn’t malware, as a general rule it’s not recommended downloading and installing APK files from third-party sites or app stores. Usually you won’t notice what the file contains until you’ve finally installed the file – and by then it will be too late.
