Virus Attacks

Computer virus can cause problems to our computer.  But why would they exist?  Computer viruses are made for Fun, Pranks, Vandalism etc and for program improvements.  People have been made viruses for the past two decades.  The first PC virus ever was created by two Pakistani brothers.  There are many types of viruses such as Trojan,Worm,etc.  Other reasons for viruses is for profit.  Millions of dollars were gained while using a virus that users download and the virus collects the credit card information.

I think people already know about viruses but they don't know the details.  This info graphic can give people information they need to understand more about viruses.  I would have thought that the people who steal credit cards made more money but then i realized that if they take small amounts from your bank you won't notice so they can take more from it later.  But if the hackers take a big chunk then you will surely notice and then the money will be canceled.  From this I do not know whether or not a anti virus program can protect my computer anymore since some viruses were made to make programs better.

iPad 3 under the microscope



The iPad 3 will have a resolution of 2048x1536 and that will make it the highest resolution tablet in the market today.  Everyday people are trying to improve the resolution on tablets and smart phones.  The pixels are getting smaller and smaller to expand the limits and give better graphics available.  Most of the other smart phones have small pixels anyway but they are on a smaller screen so it's not easy trying to make that into a bigger screen.  I think people buy smart phones because of the apps they have.  If there was no apps people would still be using phones with 50 pixels in a 1 by 2 inch screen.

I think that they will keep making smaller pixels to make bigger resolutions until someone comes up with a new way of displaying tablets.  Hopefully holographic visuals are coming soon.  Company will stop making higher resolution tablets when the rate of people buying drops a lot.  That will cause companies to invest more money in other ways of displaying tablets because people are like that, what they already have will be in their daily lives but if someone introduces a better product that will brighten up their day.

2012 Is Fake



Many people think 2012 is the end just because a Mayan calender ends at December 2012.  If a calendar stops at a point it does not mean the whole world is going to end.  There wasn't even a statement on the calender that says the world is going to end when our calendar ends.  People might have arguments over whether or not the world will end but it probalby won't.  The mayans are not alive today therefore there society are not as good as our society now.  The Mayans were very good with stars but it will be extremely hard to predict when the world act up and have everyone or most people killed.

I think it is stupid how people decide whether or not 2012 is real or not.  I personally think it won't because this is not the first time someone has said the world will end.  Even if you think it is real it's better to just keep it to yourself because if the world will end you would have suffered the last year of your life getting crap at because you thought it was real and most of the world thinks its fake so better be happy and die then to be humiliated and then have everything blow up.

Sleeping Better


Sleeping cat

People who sleep more are more productive and energized then someone without a good rest.  The average person needs 8 hours of sleep as soon as you get 8 hours that is the peak at where you can achieve to get fully concentrated.  It would seem that if you sleep at the same time and wake up at the same time everyday you will feel like it is easier to get out of bed and if you have been sleeping for 8 hours, you will wake up with no problems.  It is also seem to have been proven sleeping in one setting is better than taking many naps.  People should avoid caffeine after 6 hours before target sleep time because caffeine is suppose to be in our body for 6 hours.  Caffeine keeps us awake so we do not want that while we are trying to sleep.

I think these are really good tips but I see many people not following it just because they don't have enough encouragement to change their lifestyle.  It may be hard trying to sleep better but it will benefit your life in every way.  I have been trying to sleep better for awhile now and I have been moving slowly to the point where it is easy to sleep and not a hassle to wake up.  Changing your schedule slowly can give enough time to let your body adapt to the new timeline.  Sleeping is part of our life because one third of our life we were supposed to be sleeping.  Sleeping restoring our body and mind to its full potential to take on the next day in life.  Sleep better makes living life easier.
