Specifications and Features The Bluetooth specification was developed in 1994 by Sven Mattisson and Jaap Haartsen, who were working for Ericsson Mobile Platforms in Lund, Sweden.[1] The specifications were formalized by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG). The SIG was formally announced on May 20, 1998. Today it has over 6000 companies worldwide. It was established by Ericsson, Sony Ericsson, IBM, Intel, Toshiba and Nokia, and later joined by many other companies as Associate or Adopter members. Bluetooth is also known as IEEE 802.15.1. Bluetooth 1.0 and 1.0B Versions 1.0 and 1.0B had many problems and the various manufacturers had great difficulties in making their products interoperable...

Why notebook became so popular? It has been estimated that notebook sales has increased an average of 20% per year in the United States alone. Among the many advantages it offers, portability is one of the main reason people end up making a purchase of it. However before any purchase is made, other features should be considered as well. Notebook was first made available in the early eighties. Although much heavier and bulkier than today's notebooks, it had the unique portability feature that put this innovative product in a class by itself. Although not much of a commercial success then, it gave the computer industry a goal to pursue in manufacturing this item with better weight, size and...

Zombie PCs, Home Computer Hacking, and Drive-by Hacking Spyware, Keyloggers, Hackers, Cyber Terrorists, Cybercriminals, Cybergangs, etc. These threats are real and the fact is your computer is most likely infected already! Cybercrime is on the rise. You may not be the only one using your computer. Hackers may be using your computers and you may not even know it. Would you ever know it if your computer were taken over and being used by a hacker? Not likely. When a hacker hijacks a computer, the victim rarely knows. A computer that has been hijacked is one that is completely taken over by a hacker, or a group of hackers, to be used for their own purposes. The idea is that the real owner of the...

The corporate life is hectic, so it is important to have a fast, reliable, lightweight notebook that can maximize your daily output by keeping your projects organized and your workflow streamlined. One of the first things you need to look for in a business laptop is wireless connectivity. A wireless networking card allows you to connect to the Internet via thousands of wireless networks (also called hotspots) located nationwide. This means more convenient and readily available access to your emails and business clientele. Another great option is a bluetooth card, which will allow you to connect and transfer data between your PDAs and your notebook, without the need for messy wires, which...

If you're like a lot of Americans you probably have a real appreciation for high speed Internet. Unfortunately, the better known ways of getting high speed Internet in your home or office aren't available everywhere. While high speed broadband cable access is a popular option, it's only available where digital cable TV is available. Which means that rural areas and most small town locations are pretty much out of luck when it comes to broadband cable. DSL is more widely available than cable, but it still varies widely in price and quality, and has the disadvantage of requiring land based telephone service- which eliminates it completely for anyone living off the grid or in really remote locations...

Global Positioning System (GPS) is a widely known system that uses satellite signals to trace the location and position of vehicles on earth. Formerly developed by the US Department of Defense, today it is a common feature in mobile devices and cars, which include a GPS navigation system to receive data that maps blocks of a city. GPS navigation is a special feature providing you with 24-hour three-dimensional position information, including velocity, time, and traffic conditions in the area where your vehicle is located, being capable to go ahead on the road or any other place covered by the satellite-based positioning system. This technology was first introduced to civilians through...

Imagine a car equipped with nothing more than a laptop computer, a portable GPS receiver, and a wireless network card slowly strolls through your neighborhood. Unknown to any onlookers, this is no ordinary vehicle; rather, it is a wardriving machine. As the car strolls past homes and businesses, a wireless network card (available at any electronics store for as low as $25) scans for any wireless access points. Anyone with a wireless network (and there are many out there) is vulnerable. The computer is looking for what is called an SSID. An SSID is your wireless network name and it is being constantly transmitted by your access point, letting computers know of its presence. The wardriver uses...

Radio remote controls use radio waves to send commands to different devices. These are electromagnetic waves of varying frequencies, emitted through antennas and picked up by radio receivers. Therefore, when you press a button on your radio remote, it sends radio waves to your music system, which decodes the signal and obeys your command. An amazing aspect of radio remotes is that they can send signals from greater distances, since radio waves travel as long as 100 feet to reach the receiver. They can even penetrate walls, and therefore an increasing number of modern appliances are now being designed with radio remotes. Bluetooth technology also uses the principle of radio frequencies. For...

A couple of months ago I purchased my first wireless enabled laptop. As I switched it on and began setting it up I was shocked when I realized that my laptop had found and connected to my neighbours wireless modem and I was able to freely browse the internet and download data using his modem and internet connection. If I were a hacker it would not be difficult for me to hack in to his computer using this connection to his network. The Shocking Truth The shocking truth is that many wireless network users out there, and you could be one of them, are not securing their wireless modems at all. This is further confirmed by a television program I saw in which a television presenter drove down a street...

Bluetooth headsets make up one of the fastest wireless markets here in the US and around the world. Headsets with Bluetooth wireless technology are capable of working with a variety of other Bluetooth enabled devices such as cell phones, PDAs, and digital music devices (like the iPod). Unlike conventional headsets, Bluetooth headsets do not require wires of any sort, but rather receive information from your portable device through 2.4GHz radio waves. The range of communication for most headsets is somewhere around 10 feet, which is usually plenty long. Not surprisingly, there are a wide variety of Bluetooth headsets out there, and it really comes down to tastes in styles and preferred features as to...

Wireless networking is 1 of the greatest new computer technologies in terms of convenience. If you're weighing the pros and cons of wireless before taking the leap, here are 5 to put in the "pro" column. #1: No More Wires Of all the reasons to switch your network to wireless, this is perhaps the most important. Wires are inconvenient, expensive, dangerous, and downright ugly. No more wires across the floor improves the safety of your home, since it's easy to trip over exposed wires. The average Ethernet wire doesn't cost much per foot, but it adds up quickly. To run wires between rooms or floors, you have to knock holes in the walls, which might not even be an option for renters. Plus when you move...

Wireless networks use radio waves instead of wires to transmit data between computers. Here's how: The Binary Code: 1s and 0s It's well known that computers transmit information digitally, using binary code: ones and zeros. This translates well to radio waves, since those 1s and 0s can be represented by different kinds of beeps. These beeps are so fast that they're outside the hearing range of humans. Morse Code: Dots And Dashes It works like Morse code, which is a way to transmit the alphabet over radio waves using dots (short beeps) and dashes (long beeps). Morse code was used manually for years via telegraph to get information from 1 place to another very quickly. More importantly for this...

These days, all forms of communication technology face the problem of security and theft of personal details , and 'bluetooth' is no exception to these concerns, nor should it be. Most everybody knows by now that all email programs and networks need protection and security. What users of 'bluetooth' really do need to comprehend is that 'bluetooth' requires the same protection measures as email programs and other communication programs. The upside for 'bluetooth' users is that the recent breaches-of-security scares, as in all scares, are usually way over - dramatized and blown way out of all reasonable proportions. The reality being told, these issues are simple to control, using several...

During the Telecom Bubble many people thought it would continue to rise forever as companies like Global Crossing, World Com and others watched their stocks soar through the roofs. In hindsight later after it all came tumbling down many people said that World Com was a sham and those contracts for international communications with Global Crossing were not worth the paper they were written on due to the instability of the governments who had signed those contracts.Nevertheless everything just kept going up. Some made warnings and even Greenspan had warned of Irrational Exhuberence a few years the prior, not necessarily towards telecoms, yet it really had not been that long since the bubble burst in...

Cell phones are everywhere and I believe they are here to stay. With the advent of cellular phones for public use came a whole host of issues that I don't think anyone expected, at least not in the magnitude we are seeing today. There are two kinds of cell phone safety and then there is cell phone etiquette. There is practical cell phone safety, which addresses the safest ways for you to use your cell, and etiquette plays a huge part in this. The other safety concern is that there are some health risks to those who use cellular phones. We will look at each issue in turn and hopefully give people something to ponder.Cell phones and driving are a big controversy. As a matter of fact many states in...

One thing that I love about all news windows products is the remote desktop features. I previously used PCAnywhere but I find that remote desktop is now almost as good, would like to see a file transfer like PCAnywhere has, but remote desktop is free so that is a plus for it.One of the tasks that I face with my network setup is forwarding ports through my router. There are two issues that I came across when dealing with the RDP forwarding. The first was what is the port number of RDP. With a quick search on Google I found that the standard RDP port is 3389.Now that you have the port number you can simply go into your router and forward that port through and after enabling your remote desktop...

The future car, lets say a 2025 model will be a very different machine to its present day Grandfather. They will be packed with computers and safety devices ensuring that not even a stunt driver can crash, and they will run on carbon dioxide and emit strawberry scented oxygen. Well they might.Predictions of future vehicles are usually wildly inaccurate, by now we should all have space programs to rival NASA based out of our backyard. However some of the automobile related cutting edge technology emerging now may well make it into production models of the future. But how much of this technology will be needed or even wanted? Car design of the present is already influenced by politicians, bureaucrats...

The best thing about a wireless network is exactly that, its wireless! If you have a laptop or even a second desktop pc in the home, installing a wireless network is a great idea. How about checking your emails, chatting with online friends, doing some shopping or just surfing the net all from a deck chair in the comfort of your own garden. Wireless networks are so easy to setup too!The router that you get with a wireless network kit is the backbone of the system and is basicly where all signals on the network are sent to and from. The signal is enhanced via a small aerial which is found on the back. The router does not need to be connected to a desktop pc or laptop, it can be installed...

We often don't realise how heavily reliant we are on technology until we lose it. If your cell phone goes missing, laptop is stolen or Internet connection goes down for a day, that's when you realise how vulnerable you are to human imperfections. I say human imperfections because machines are not perfect because they are built by humans. Data is entered into machines by humans and humans make mistakes. So while the machine may be doing what it is told to do, without someone to tell it, it really can't do anything.Back up your lifeHurricanes and other natural disasters have taught many people that sometimes it's not only your gadgets that need backing up. Sometimes your life needs to get backed up...

They may call it a wireless phone, but standard cellular phones still require wires at some point. Besides the clunky charger, you also have to fumble with cords to use a headset and to transfer data between your phone and other gadgets. But there is an answer for anyone looking to cut the cord almost completely. With a Bluetooth cellular phone, you can chat on a wireless headset, transfer data magically through the air to a handheld, or connect with a Bluetooth-enabled car. But take care, as each Bluetooth cellular phone is not created in the same manner. While some carriers let you use a Bluetooth cellular phone for almost any means, others restrict it to a headset only.Bluetooth is a standard...

These days it's almost impossible to walk in some public place without being caught on camera. Markets, small shops, museums or banks, all use surveillance cameras for protection. CCTV surveillance has grown significantly over the last decade and this growth doesn't seem to stop. However, security cameras for surveillance may not only be used in public places. You might not even expect that, but even in some private areas, like changing rooms, showers or hotel rooms, spy cameras might be waiting to catch you. Such illegal activities are prohibited, but not everybody obeys the rules. There are many people who'll want to spy on you in private areas without even considering your rights to privacy. In...

Isaiah 43;19 declares: "Behold, I will do a new thing, Now it shall spring forth; Shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert."A new thing? Try this one on for size: Just as the Apostle Paul brought the Good News to the Greeks, today's latch key kids will bring it to the GEEKS!Here's what I mean. Does anybody remember those radical Jesus Freaks of the 60s and 70s? They're still around. They became the pot-bellied Baby-Boomers we know and love today. These people seem to have become more conservative with age (having children of one's own will cause that transformation). After all, many who were once yesterday's liberals are today's conservatives. They...

A recent study done in Australia shows that chatting on your cell phone makes you four times more vulnerable to a serious car crash than someone who does not use a cell phone while driving. It also indicates that it doesn't matter whether you are holding the cell phone or talking with a hands-free device. You've dialed the wrong number if you think that it's safe to drive. The study also showed that it didn't matter whether you were male or female or how old you were - the risks all appeared to be the same. The study showed that if you're driving and using a cell phone, you're at risk and so are any passengers in your automobile.Driving takes total concentration and any kind of distraction can lead...
