7 Disadvantages Of Tablets

While tablet computers have a lot of features and benefits, they also have quite a few downsides. It's important that you carefully consider these disadvantages before you buy a tablet. That way, you can ensure that the gadget truly meets your personal or professional computing needs.

No KeyboardThe biggest potential downside to purchasing a tablet computer, is that there is no physical keyboard built in. You can only type using the touchscreen. If you send a lot of email messages, or if you like to chat via instant messages, the lack of a keyboard can be a real drawback. Typing messages using a touchscreen, can be time consuming and frustrating.

It is estimated that one in 10 U.S. citizens now owns a tablet or e-reader, and the constant innovations made by brands such as Amazon, Sony and Apple are helping to change the way in which users conduct their everyday activities. The benefits that these tools provide to users are far reaching, and can even help individuals to save money and budget their finances effectively. So, how exactly are tablets and e-readers able to achieve this, and how much money could they save you through consistent use?
 
Lack of PortsMany tablet computers do not include ports, and this can significantly limit overall functionality. For example, a tablet may or may not have a VGA port. Without it, you cannot connect your computer to your television, among other things. Furthermore, if a tablet doesn't have a card reader port, you can't view photos from your digital camera.
Some tablets don't come equipped with standard USB ports, which are used to insert thumb drives into your computer. This is a major disadvantage if you need to upload documents from another computer, quickly and easily. Full-sized computers come with several ports for all of your computing needs. If you want to buy a tablet computer, research the number and type of ports it has, to make sure that the machine has all of the features you need.

No DVD or Blu-ray DriveVery few tablet computers come with DVD drives. This add-on allows you to watch movies, and you can also use the drive to view other forms of electronic media. Carefully consider whether you can do without this valuable feature before you buy a tablet.

No High-DefinitionHigh-definition videos will soon be the norm in the electronics industry. The 10-inch tablets typically have the functionality to properly display high-definition videos. Seven-inch tablets, because of their small screen resolution, cannot display these videos in high definition. Nothing is worse than purchasing a product, that you think is on the cutting edge of technology, only to realize, soon after, that it is already time to upgrade. (If you're interested in investing in companies that create tablets and eReaders.
FragilityThere is no doubt about it, tablet computers are fragile, and their touchscreens can easily become damaged. Also, their small size and portability mean that the tablets are handled more, further increasing the risk of an accident. In some cases, a tablet's screen hinge is designed to rotate around two axes, which can easily break, if handled incorrectly. A larger-sized laptop, stored securely in a laptop case, is more durable.

High PriceSince tablet computers are fairly new to the market, you have to pay a premium price to get them. With an average price range of more than $400, they cost more than a lot of conventional netbooks. If you have your heart set on a tablet, wait for the prices to decline. Some experts predict that the prices for tablets will continue to drop over the next few years. Alternatively, you can discard the notion of purchasing a tablet altogether, and pick up a mid-range netbook computer for a fraction of the cost.

DiscomfortTablet computers aren't ergonomically correct. If you plan to work for long periods of time, using a tablet will quickly become awkward, and could be hazardous to your health. The risk of repetitive strain injuries to your neck, back and wrists is enormous when you work on a computer, and using a tablet only exacerbates that danger. You may want to look for a computer that offers an ergonomic set-up, which correctly positions your body for optimum comfort and maximum efficiency while you work.

The Bottom LineIf you want to impress your family and friends, by owning the latest electronic device, then a tablet computer may be right for you. Otherwise, there are many downsides to tablets that you should keep in mind as you make your decision. If you want to buy a tablet, consider waiting until prices drop before you buy. Alternatively, if someone on your holiday shopping list wants a tablet, get them a gift certificate with instructions to buy the exact model and style they want. In this way, they can also take advantage of after -Christmas sales and purchase when prices have dropped.

Top 10 Facts About Google

We all have heard a lot of stuff about Google and its flawlessness. The efficiency of making search easy is also recommendable. Google was created by duo Larry Page and Sergey Brin, students of Stanford Ph.D. What we don’t know is some interesting facts about Google. Many does not know that the first storage device of Google was cobbled with LEGO. Nor do many know that the very first investor of Google wrote a check of $100,000 before the firm came into existence. Apart from these there are many more facts about this search giant that were not known to the people. Let’s get to know the top 10 facts about Google.

1. BackRub came before Google’s existence

Graduates Larry Page and Sergey Brin in the year 1996 undertook a research project about the linking structure of the World Wide Web. In particular they were interested in determining the value of web pages as per the back links. This project was titled as the BackRub.

2. Google’s Computer Storage in its original form

Large amount of disk space was required by Larry and Sergey for the PageRank testing. However the largest available hard disks were of only 4GB at that time. Because of this, Larry and Sergey assembled 10 drivers together. Larry had experience building programmable plotters from LEGO so the first computer storage for Google was made up of colorful bricks.

3. First Investor for Google

Andy Bechtolsheim from Stanford University Network Microsystem talked to Larry and Sergey about their plans for Google and after 30 minutes of hearing them he wrote a check of $100,000 for Google, Inc.

4. Google Garage

Susan Wojcicki in the year 1998 rented out her garage to two students from Standford, Larry & Sergey for $1,700 a month. For Susan this was the best decision of her life and it got her a major job at Google as one of the top executives. Google bought Susan’s house in 2006 to convert it into a tourist attraction.

5. First canine friend of Google

In the year 1999 Yoshka, a Leonberger breed came to work with the VP of Google’s Engineering section, Urs Hölzle. He was the first dog of the company.

6. Google servers

Google is very secretive when it comes to their data centers. Nobody apart from the company knows exactly about the servers related to Google.

7. Greener search options

Google has installed solar panels of 1.6MW over the rooftop of Googleplex to offset its consumption of electricity. There are a total of 9,212 solar panels which generate 4,475 kWh every day. This amount of electricity can actually power 1,000 homes in California. As per calculations Googleville data center on a daily basis requires 103 megawatts of electricity.

8. Google Trike

Google Street View is a familiar thing for most but there are many interesting yet inaccessible places which cannot be covered by four wheelers. Google trike is a bicycle based Street View system which informs about shopping districts that are inaccessible by cars.

9. Google pays $110 Million a Year for I’m Feeling Lucky

The button on Google’s homepage that says “I’m Feeling Lucky” takes you directly to the first web result pages. Since it bypasses Google’s own search result options, it costs much more for the search giant which is $110 million a year.

10. The Revelation of Googlebot!

The Googlebot connects the world with Internet, wires and big cabinets of computerized systems. Ben Rathbone in 2005 came up with Googlebot overlord.

FACEBOOK WILL END ON MARCH 15th, 2012! (UPDATE)




Facebook continues to deny rumors it is shutting down on March 15th of 2012.  WWN, however, has confirmed that it is true.

On January 9th, WWN’s ace reporter, J.B. Smitts, broke the international story that Facebook was going to close down on March 15th because Mark Zuckerberg wanted to return to a normal life.   The story caused a worldwide sensation, and J.B. Smitts has been nominated for a Pulitzer Prize for breaking it.


Facebook COO, Sheryl Sandberg has publicly denied the rumors, saying, “Facebook is not going to close down.  Not now, not ever.  We’re just getting started.”
David Ebersman, the CFO of Facebook, and the man working with Goldman Sachs on the new Facebook financing deal said, “many people feel that the deal with Goldman Sachs will lead to a change in Facebook or that we might shut down so that the government won’t force us to go public.  All of those rumors are false.  We are going to be stronger than ever after March 15th.”
But WWN has spoken to insiders at Facebook who strongly contradict the public statements of the executive management team.


Sources inside Facebook tell us that the company is already making plans on how to handle the big shutdown.  “We can’t just turn it off on March 15th of 2012.  There will be a revolution,” said one insider.  “We have to prepare our users for the end of Facebook and offer them ways to keep their social networks alive.”
Zuckerberg maintains that one year is enough time for users to prepare for the demise of Facebook.  It also gives rival sites time to build up their user base.

There were rumors that Zuckerberg himself was going to appear on the Oscars on February 27th, when The Social Network is sure to win Best Picture of the Year Award.  But Zuckerberg did not show.  New rumors are that Zuckerberg will make “an important announcement to the world” about the future of Facebook when he meets with President Obama in the White House on June 15th.

Meanwhile, there is panic all around the globe as Facebook users (and addicts) are frightened that they may lose their social networking community.  Top celebrities Tyra Banks, Mila Kunis, Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, Justin Beiber, Ashton Kutchter, Carrot Top, Meryl Streep, Danny Bonaduce and the Real Housewives of New Jersey and Atlanta are all panicking about losing Facebook.  “I’m addicted to Facebook,” said Tyra Banks. “Without it, my life is over!”
