IMPORTANCE OF LAPTOP COOLING PADS
Every laptop user has felt it at one point. The scorching hot waves of the heat of your laptop slowly cooking your legs as you try to finish up a project or check your emails. You might have also noticed, the performance of your computer seems to slow down in this case, too. You are right. This isn't just your imagination. This is due to throttling that takes place in the device. Having processing power in a compact space like the body of a laptop often puts a strain on the hardware. Intensive activities like gaming or even binge watching Netflix might be causing the throttling and making your computer over heat. This problem might eventually lead to permanent damage.
However, cooling pads come to the rescue in elongating your laptops life span and helping it deliver its top performance without the hassle of overheating. The most common complaints from laptop and notebook users are that their laptops systems almost crash due to heat exhaustion and the uncomfortable feeling of using a laptop that feels too hot while in use. Laptop cooling pads increase airflow to your laptop's mechanism. Majority of these pads have fan systems that allow the laptop's system to have access to a cool stream of air. This stream of cool air helps the device stay at a stable, cool temperature, eliminating the possibility of overheating. The stabilization of temperature in the device allows the mechanism to breathe which helps the computer to function better and makes it easier for the user.
The excessive heat that the laptop produces is not comfortable or healthy for the user. Recent studies have been showing that Wi-Fi using products, such as laptops, may be harmful to the user. It is possible that the laptop-cooling pad, while cooling the device can also block off some of the harmful radiation too.
While purchasing cooling pads it is important to pay attention to things like performance, the CFM and sometimes even the fan noise factor. Amongst that, it is also important to focus on the design and pick a cooling pad suited most to your working and life style. Fortunately many laptop and notebook cooling pads are very stylish and come with cool features like different lighting features and colors.
Even the best laptops might come down due to overheating permanently. The straining of throttling can unfortunately damage your laptops and notebook devices. Sanoxy Cooling pads will however eliminate this issue and provide you with a healthier and "cooler" laptop.

A complete take-over of the human race has been predicted by some for a long time. It has not happened yet, nor does it look very likely in near future. One theoretical limit is that unless artificially created intelligence can exceed that of human beings, the takeover cannot happen. Unless this happens, and the robots equipped with the artificial intelligence learns what human beings know in its totality, the translation problem is also not going to be won by the machines.
For complete and accurate translation, not only the machine translator has to be knowledgeable in the pair of languages involved. They need to know a lot about the people who use the two languages. Human translation professionals not only know the languages, they know the phraseology, the context of the use of languages, the various nuances of each word, etc. The words with shades of meaning and the exact use of context, any special use and the historical and cultural backgrounds of the two language user groups are also known to them. It is with this kind of specialized knowledge; it is possible for professional translators to do a complete job of the translation.
It is this large amount of peripheral knowledge. That is essential for accurate translation. It is also necessary for the translator to know even the exotic languages when it is one of the languages involved in the translation project. Unless, machines doing the translation become knowledgeable to an equivalent level, it is impossible to become as capable as the professionals. Artificial intelligence, learning capabilities are to be developed by researchers to those levels before machine translators can reach and exceed the levels of the human professionals.
If one were to look at the developments in AI, it has not really delivered on the promise. There are examples of the use of AI in very limited domain areas, but it has taken more time than predicted. Intelligence levels and the learning capability of a human child is far from being equalled yet. It is difficult to foresee a time when a machine would exceed the general capability of human beings. A specific machine beating a chess grandmaster or a machine beating the top human player in "Jeopardy" is exciting news. However, do they represent a general progress towards human intelligence being overtaken; hardly.
Natural language processing is the mainstay of the building of the translation capability in machines and has a lot of hurdles to be crossed. It will be difficult to predict how long it will take to surmount those problems. One would then need a combined processing capability of additional skills brought to use by human translators. These extra capabilities would be the intimate knowledge about use of the languages and the nuances of meanings of words as used by the actual users. Equipped with the right algorithms and armed with all this contextual knowledge will the machines be able to equal (may be exceeded) human capabilities!

With a properly administered server management process, it is entirely possible to run multiple operating systems and several applications simultaneously. The process of improving efficiency has been slow and deliberate and many IT managers spend an inordinate amount of time deciding the most suitable route.
One growing area that shows a lot of potential is in the area of virtualization. Recent reports indicate that close to 50 % all severs in use, will make use of virtualization with the next 24 months. The enterprise scale operations are steadily moving to the fore when it comes to deployment of virtualized systems, but there are still some challenges that must be overcome.
Smaller operators are faced with the decision whether using outsource support service providers makes any sense, and even enterprise scaled business must appreciate the challenges that are involved. To the SME there may be multiple benefits to using outsourced support for IT functions, and in business environment, that involves more planning than processing, server management may be a bit more difficult to manage with physical servers.
There are number of different tasks involved with server management, and it is essential to have a plan in place, before any virtualization process in deployed in production the environment.
Virtualization introduces complexities when multiple systems must be patched, and there is no absolute certainty that patches are properly applied in virtual systems. Some of the bigger issues, when virtual server management is compare to managing physical machines, are the process of standardizing and following consistent patterns.
Virtualization may simplify deployment, as there is now support and ability to define operating parameters for the servers that handle the database and application operations. It is believed that accuracy is critical in the virtual environment, as there is often more potential for drift.
As a component of the server management process, focus must be placed on preventing drift with templates that detail the operating system, vendor software, patches, code and even architecture. New servers when introduced should remain consistent with the standard, and patches are also expected to fall in line.
One of the key issues involved in server management is perhaps performance. Outsourced support may provide some degree of exemption, but with complex virtual environments, finding root cause of performance issues becomes even more challenging.
There are a number of very useful tools available to assist and even automate some of the process of server management. It is possible to remotely monitor CPU and network resources using the right tools. Competency in the use various technologies for monitoring system events and compliance to operating parameters are beneficial.

Graphic Image Files
It's sometimes confusing working with graphic files, there many different file extensions (.tif,.wmf,,cdr,.ai, etc). Some graphic file types are proprietary, you can only open / edit them with the program that created them. However, most graphic design software will allow you to Export or Save As specific file type such as.jpg or.pdf. Although there seems to be and endless number of file types, they all can be divided into two basic ways of storing a graphic, vector or raster. Each of these types has its own characteristics.
RASTER or pixel based images are composed of square pixels (dots). Each pixel is assigned a position and color in the image file. The pixels are aligned end to end across and vertically in the file. The resolution of the image tells you how may pixels or Dots per Inch (DPI) the image has. The more dots, the higher quality the image will be. But higher resolution comes at a cost, storing all those pixel locations and colors take up quite a bit of memory, that's why raster images sometimes have very large file sizes. 10, 15 or more Mega Bytes (1MB = 1 million bytes). You also have seen images where curved lines have a saw tooth appearance, square pixels lined up make great looking vertical and horizontal lines but not very good curved lines. The lower the resolution (DPI) the more obvious the saw tooth pattern this becomes.
VECTOR or line based images are composed of lines that specified by coordinates on a grid. There is a beginning point, straight or curved line and an end point. There are no pixels or resolution. You can make the image any size from 2 inches to 20 ft, it will look the same, just a perfectly smooth line. That's why Computer Aided Design (CAD) software stores images in a vector based file, it provides infinite resolution (accuracy). Another advantage is that the file size is typically small, it has to only store a few coordinates for a specific shape within the image file.
Converting from Raster to Vector / Vector to Raster images.
Vector based image files can sometimes contain raster images. However raster image file types don't store any vector image data. That's important to note if you want to Export or Save As to a different file type. It's easy in most vector software to convert a vector (line based) image to a raster (pixel based) image, you just save as a .tif, .jpg or other raster image only format. But going from a raster image to a vector based image isn't that easy. Yes, there are programs that do a raster to vector conversion, but they all work by tracing the pixel image. Some raster to vector programs work better than others, but you always lose some detail on the image, or you get a saw tooth line.
Common File Types
If your image file type is .jpg, .tif, .gif, .bmp or .png file extension, it is a raster (pixel) image. Common programs for editing raster images are PhotoShop, Paintbrush, Corel Photo-Paint
If your image file type is .ai, .wmf, .cgm, .cdr, .eps, .ai, .pdf it may contain vector images, raster images or a combination of both. You would need to open and with vector design software and do a View Outlines or Wireframe to see if vector based lines are present. Common programs for editing vector images are Adobe Illustrator, Corel Draw, Canvas, Quark.

And it can be done with the creating alluring, user-friendly and mobile compatible website. Well experienced and professional MVC developers help you build responsive websites using three major components: the Model, the View and the Controller.
MVC development is one of the open source frameworks for building present-day websites with attractive features and appropriate applications. MVC architecture makes websites that are RIAs (rich internet applications) friendly. And this new technology has redefined the web applications with rich programming and awesome designing and is compatible for Silverlight technology and Flash 4.
MVC development offers features that facilitate TDD-friendly and fast development for the websites and Windows Mobile Application development. With the aid of MVC implementations, smooth and engaging websites can be created to ease the process for the customers and clients.
MVC architecture offers kink-free solutions to the websites and Mobile App development. Also, they are adjustable to any of the latest modern technology. Because of these features and elements, the users go for MVC architecture to simplify the processes.
Why MVC development implementation is important is because it gives end solutions to your needs. For example, if one does require a pie chart of the data, a pie chart can be generated with the help of native model without requesting to the server. In the same way, if a user wishes to see the data in the form of a bar graph, a bar graph can be generated by using the native model. In simple words, the users of MVC development get rid of sending request to the servers for every action.
For highly testable presentation framework, MVC development is one and the only solution. This new MVC architecture implementation provides quality of work effectiveness for both the personal and professional websites. It designs pattern for websites that require master pages and membership based authentication. Above all, MVC assists in creating different aspect of applications such as UI logic, business logic and input logic. Also, it administers the intricacy just by its dividing application of the Model, the View and the Controller.
With the help of MVC development, creates high resolution web applications for websites and windows mobile apps and accelerates your business brand all over the world.

Today, we do almost everything with our computers. We do our banking, shopping pretty much everything. What would you do if somebody came into your house and took your computer away? I bet you would totally freak out. Just imagine what it would be like to pay your bills by physically going to the electric company or maybe even the phone company. I remember back in the day that paying bills took most of the day in some cases.
Another way we use our computers is for downloading songs and movies. Gone are the days where you have to go to your favorite store to buy that flashy new CD or DVD. They are all available right in our living rooms with the click of a button. I will admit that in years past it was actually a lot of fun to go searching for the best CD for that Saturday night party. The new generation will never know what that is all about.
Most of us actually spend a good part of our day working on the computer. Almost all businesses use computers to store important info such as employee information, business transactions along with countless other data. Can you imagine what would happen if somebody came into your business and told you that you could not use your computer for a month? For one month, you had to do all your transactions on paper the old fashioned way. There would be mass chaos in your office! It would be so hard to function and run the business. In addition, you would have to add more personnel onto your workforce besides that.
Personally, I am on my computer probably about 90% of the day doing all sorts of projects from writing articles such as this to repairing computers remotely. Virtually everything I do is done on the computer. If I could use the computer to cut the grass, I would probably do that. Wait that would make a great Android App. Remote control for your lawn mower!
Another use for computers is to manage your company's website. In years past, marketing was usually limited to newspaper ads and flyers. If you were fortunate enough to be wealthy, you might do ads on TV or radio. Today, every business has a website. If you do not have one, you are in the minority. People use the Internet for searching for almost everything. Most businesses get a good part of their business in this manner. You can see how important that website management for your business is.
Shopping is probably one of the biggest things some of us do in our day-to-day tasks. Can you imagine doing it all without a computer? I know I cant. I use my computer almost every week for ordering something whether it is through Amazon or Sears. It is so much easier then using gas to go from store to store only to find that nobody has what you are looking for. Shopping without a computer is not an option for most of us.
Social media is another important tool for advertising your business. Media such as Facebook and Twitter are just a couple of examples of places where companies advertise and promote on the web. Facebook has become an extremely important tool in getting your information out there. In addition to traditional Facebook there is also Facebook advertising. With so many folks using this media you are sure to get a few clicks on your ad.

You've spent hours working on a report, and then your Word document just disappeared from the screen! Your computer crashed, some arcane error forced Word to close, or you've just unwittingly closed a document before clicking a save button.
The lesson to save early and often is learned the hard way, but what now?
Don't despair yet! There are some things to try before accepting the data loss. In most cases, the lost document can be fully or partially recovered.
If you're lucky, Windows may have automatically saved your file. When you start Word program the next time, see if there are any recovered documents, so called AutoRecovery files, in the Document Recovery pane.
AutoRecovery is a feature that performs an emergency backup of open documents when an error occurs. By default, AutoRecovery is set to ten minutes: that means that Word will automatically save a backup of your open document every ten minutes. You can change that interval by going to File - Options - Save. You can also select the option to keep the last saved autoversion if you close without saving.
Even when the AutoRecovery option was not selected, you could try to force Word to recover the document. Click Open, select the document, click the down arrow and then click Open and Repair. If the document was closed normally, AutoRecovery will not kick in, and no auto recovery files will be saved.
You may be able to bring back the document draft. It is a little known fact that the drafts in all applications within MS Office are saved automatically. After the crash, when opening a new Word document, go to File - Info - Manage versions. If there are previous versions of the file you've lost, you will be able to recover it by clicking the dropdown menu and selecting the option Recover Unsaved Documents. The program will open the location where you can browse recent copies of unsaved files. Word saves copies of unsaved documents for four days before the program deletes them.
To recover your document, select the draft, open it as a new document in the Word and this time save it properly. If a document is corrupted, you can try to open it with the Open and Repair option.
If neither of these recovery method worked for you, try searching for your lost document in the temporary files.
Microsoft doesn't provide a way to recover files that have been emptied from the Recycle bin. In those cases, you will have to use third-party tools to recover deleted documents.
Sometimes, none of these methods work. You will need a data recovery software that offers a word recovery option.

Tablets and smartphones have simplified our lives to a great extent. You can access the internet, click photographs, watch movies, listen to music and also complete last minute school work irrespective of the time of the day or place. You only require the right app. However, despite this, there have been complaints. The most common one with regard to Apple devices has been the inability to print documents from an iPad because neither the iPad nor the iPhone has USB connections. Thus, it was difficult to transfer documents directly from the iPad to a printer.
Apple was quick to realize this major design flaw and resolved it in the later versions of its operating system. iPads powered by the latest version of iOS can use the AirPrint technology to print documents directly from an iPad by enabling a transfer to an AirPrint-compatible printer.
The AirPrint feature was one of the major upgrades that shipped with the iOS 4.2 version. This Apple feature prints via Wi-Fi. It was developed in partnership by Apple Inc and HP. For this reason, most of the HP laser models are compatible with this printing technology. This is a wireless system. You do not have install any drivers or download any software. Another important advantage of this system is you can continue using the iPad to click pictures, surf the internet, play games and watch videos while it continues printing in the background.
How to print from iPad using AirPrint?
The procedure is easy. We have listed the steps below.
The AirPrint technology is one of the methods to print documents from your iPad. The use of third party applications is an alternate method. They can be downloaded for free or purchased at the Apple Store.
So now, you no longer have to wonder how to print from an iPad. AirPrint and various other third party applications help print pages directly without having to first transferring them to other devices.

How to print from iPad using AirPrint?
The procedure is easy. We have listed the steps below.
- The first step involves connecting a wireless printer compatible with Air-print technology to your Wi-Fi network. Not all printers, especially the old models, are compatible with this printing technology. HP has a range of AirPrint-enabled printers. The procedure of setting up the entire system varies depending on the make and the model. You should read the instruction manual provided or the manufacturer's website for instructions.
- Once the setup is complete, turn on the printer. Wait for the printer to detect and connect to the Wi-Fi network. On most models a small light blinks as soon as the printer establishes connectivity with the Wi-Fi network.
- An "Action" button will be displayed on your iPad. Click this button.
- After this, tap the button that reads "Print".
- When prompted, select the "Select Printer" option. Select the printer you are using.
- A dialogue box will open up on your screen. Make the necessary changes such as the pages to be printed, double-side printing and number of copies. When you're done, hit the print option.

O APOSTOLO - VISUAL EFFECTS NOTES FINAL
EFFECT 1 - THE FOG
The fog is a character in the story. It is the Holy Company. It is of 3 types and we are not initially aware of its full power or sentient nature. At first it simply hovers along the ground creating atmosphere and obscuring distances. Later it acts with intent seeking out Ramon. Finally it becomes a collection of human forms - the spirits of all the people the Holy Company has captured.
1. Ambient background fog 2. Animated character fog 3. Spirit fog with human forms (Santa Company - Holy Company)
These fog styles should be designed as still images (Photoshop paintings) made using plates from the scenes where fog will be applied. These will be the art direction for all fog effects. The Holy Company figures should be modeled based on a practical figure. Photographic reference (lighting, motion, turnarounds) of this figure will be the best guide for achieving the desired geometry with CGI. The motion of the character fog may be difficult to pre- visualize but drawn animation will be useful for determining the flow and speed.
Much of the ambient and background fog can be created using paint layers with distortion effects (warp, twirl, pinch, etc.) applied to a multi-plane treatment in a compositing program. This technique should be sufficient to produce much of the bulk of the fog throughout the film.
The next layer of fog can be effectively animated and put into specific shapes and positions with a CGI simulation using a particle system. This will allow the creeping character fog to behave in very specific ways as it pursues Ramon. This CGI fog should be used only where necessary for this specific behavior because it should be quite expensive for design, manipulation, and rendering, especially where changes are concerned. The 2D fog should be much more flexible and will take less time to adjust and alter.
The next layer will be the Holy Company fog. Animation is fairly minimal for these spirit characters. They float smoothly and never interact with the solid characters. What is important is their visual signature - their apparent density, they way they connect to the mass of fog, and the wisps of fog they leave as trails. Additionally they will need some internal turbulence like a self-wind reflecting their tortured and trapped state. Fernando has described this look as similar to the windy smearing in The Lord of the Rings when Frodo sees the wraiths while wearing the ring.
The best way to allow for the right look to be achieved will be to create a number of layers, and to develop the look in composite. While testing is the only way to determine exactly what these layers ultimately will be, a preliminary list might include the following:
1. Painted 2D fog with distortion
2. CGI fog.
3. Varying degrees of density for the spirits themselves from a thicker solid core through various stages of very light turbulence reaching the a light cloud based on the solid volume of the character.
4. The mass of the character itself rendered as fog.
5. A trail element generated by the geometry of the character.
6. A flowing foggy matte pass used to elegantly connect the spirits to the masses of fog.
Sufficient variation in these elements should allow a very nice look to be achieved in composite. The internal turbulence will probably work nicely as a composite effect applied to 1 or 2 of these layers - probably the solid mass itself (#4 above) - likely the least important element as far as the foggy mass is concerned.
The final layer for all the fog scenes should be practical. Isolated wisps of fog with very dynamic and natural character should be shot by the VFX crew. The set should be entirely black, and black props and fans should be used to create reactions and dynamic movements. It is important to avoid hard edges on the props and all shots should be wide enough that nothing ever touches the edge of frame. These elements are ESSENTIAL to creating an excellent fog effect. They will be used sparingly in the final composite but their value will be immense. These elements will really sell the effect by adding natural behavior to fog composites which will often look OK but not completely finished otherwise. The added benefit will be in saved schedule time and man-hours which would otherwise need to be used to get the generated fog to an acceptable level of quality.
EFFECT 2 - THE CANDLE FLAMES
There are many candles in O Apostolo. Because of their sheer numbers, economic processes will be essential in keeping the scope of this task under control. There will be 2 main challenges to achieving good results with the candles:
The first challenge will be to get the right behavior from the flames. Candle flames respond to small amounts of turbulence in their environment. Thus when someone walks by, or when a door opens or a gust of wind comes through a window, the flame usually responds with a moment of shaking. Practical elements do this perfectly but can be somewhat of an editorial challenge when there are many candles in a shot - they all must move in synchronization but with small variations. If they all move exactly together the effect will be awkward. If there is too much variety the effect will not be convincing. Good results can be accomplished by using a library of similar elements and offsetting duplicates of the same flame by 1 or 2 frames. For the
number of candles in O Apostolo, a collection of 5 or 6 of each desired type of flame movement should be sufficient. These libraries can be generated with live-action or CGI techniques. I prefer live-action practical elements. Their behavior will likely be more believable and satisfying, containing many unexpected variations which will be elusive and time consuming to create with a CGI simulation.
The second challenge with these effects will be placement in Z space. Generally the maximum horizontal alignment in a 3D frame pair (assuming 2K resolution) is somewhere between 20 and 30 pixels. Thus any discrete location in Z will be defined by a horizontal measurement which can be quite small and very exact. In a moderately deep 3D shot of 8 pixels for instance, a 1 pixel offset will move an object more than 10% forward or backwards. For this reason, sub-pixel positioning is often necessary to accurately marry a composited element to a plate at the EXACTLY CORRECT location in Z. This is further complicated by the fact that these minute gradations of Z location not apparent unless the composite is seen projected on a large screen in full color and at full resolution. This is likely to be a large an on-going challenge because there are many sequences with many candles each in O Apostolo.
EFFECT 3 - STEAM
There are a number of shots of people eating in the film. Practical or simulated live-action steam can be vey effective in a stop-motion context. This effect is quite easy and can be achieved in composite with mono live action elements. CGI techniques can be quite easy as well provided an acceptable treatment re: speed, turbulence, density, etc, can be found. CGI can be less desirable if the look is elusive or if rendering becomes cumbersome. Live action requires development of an element library - setting up an effects stage, and shooting, but the results are perfect for the desired application. A 3rd possibility is the use of stock effects elements. An internet search of stock resources may very likely yield an acceptable collection of elements.
These elements composite easily. Shot or rendered on black, they will produce the desired look with a mix (additive, screen, maximum) and transparency adjustment. Live action elements will need a contrast adjustment (levels - crush the blacks) to composite cleanly. A very soft mask in the inverse shape of the source of the steam (e.g. a mound of food on a plate) will connect the effect with its intended source.
ALL these composites should be carefully checked and adjusted often (on a large screen in full color and at full resolution) throughout the process to ensure accurate, pleasing, and professional results.
EFFECT 4 - COINS
The challenge with the coins will be in the composites. 1. Their shiny surfaces should reflect the characters. This can be an easy composite task but correct stereoscopic placement will be very challenging. I suggest using the chroma- key elements as refection maps in CGI and generating a stereoscopically correct (relative to the coin surfaces) reflection pass. A cast shadow will probably be somewhat difficult also but the savings from having to do it in composite will be worth it. 2. To do the above, as well as to marry the elements may require the 3D to roto the plates. Shooting dimensional reference (cubes and grids) will help. CGI will also benefit from receiving all the camera data. This may be overkill because the layouts for this sequence suggest a fairly loose and forgiving treatment to the dimensionality, but the match of lens and roundness will need to be kept close enough for the composite to look right, and convincing shadows and reflections are essential.
EFFECT 5 - SMOKE
There is 1 shot of a smoldering mound which will need a rising plume of smoke. This should be a fairly straightforward effect. Probably good to differentiate this from the fog by making sure the color is noticeably different.
EFFECT 6 - CHROMA-KEY COMPOSITES
There are some additional concerns with screen replacement type composites in stereoscopic films. Garbage mattes can have added ramifications in 3D because these will sometimes need to be independent in each eye. It is wise to keep a close watch on these elements as they are being shot, because fixing something on set can save many hours of double garbage matte work later.
Additionally, the chroma key elements will be mostly stereoscopic and occasionally will be shot with different lenses, framing, or interocular settings than the backgrounds they belong to. These variations between composited element and plate can lead to disparities in roundness and stereo depth. These can both be difficult to repair. Composited elements in stereoscopic 3D also present problems with shadows and reflections. Accurate placement of shadows and reflections can be difficult.
For these reasons, all chroma-key elements should be kept as simple as possible. FG and BG elements should be shot with the same setups whenever possible, and complex composites requiring shadows or reflections should be avoided whenever possible.
EFFECT 7 - RIG AND WIRE REMOVAL
Rig and wire removal can be a simple and straightforward process in stereoscopic 3D. There will be some challenges. Rigs with Z-axis presence can require separate roto for each eye. Paint and shadow re-creation can be difficult to match in each eye - stereo paint disparities look bad and must be avoided. These often will only be apparent in a large screen projection. With stop-motion, clean plates will often not match making the composites which follow rig-roto more difficult. Here also stereo disparities will be very noticeable and need to be avoided by careful checking in projection.
OTHER - SET SHIFT
Set shifts often occur in stop-motion. Smaller shifts can often be fixed with full frame transformations from scale & reposition, to corner-pin distortions and mesh warps. These fixes can usually be applied to each eye exactly the same with perfect results. Larger shifts can require Frankenstein cut & paste techniques using pieces from an earlier or later portion of the shot, and clean plates. These types can often require individual attention to each eye of the stereo pair. Fixing set shift can be very tedious and frustrating, and can take many hours/days per shot. I would suggest tracking set shift carefully in an attempt to know at any given time, how much there is to fix, how much time the fixes are taking, and what percentage of shots contain shifts needing repair. This will give VFX a good idea (all throughout the schedule) of how many man-hours are going to be needed for set shift repair to complete the film.
OTHER - LIGHTING POPS
Lighting pops often occur in stop-motion. They are usually no more of a problem in stereoscopic 3D than they are in 2D unless one is unlucky enough to have them occur in only one eye of the stereo pair. The technique for fixing these anomalies is the same in either case. Fine contrast controls of the expand/compress/gamma type (e.g. Photoshop levels) can bring the errant frames close enough to the rest of the sequence that the pop becomes invisible even if it is not entirely eliminated. Key-framing the correction and flipping between the previous and following frames will allow this to be fixed by eye quite quickly.
Lighting pops which affect each eye differently should be top priority and should be handled much more carefully. The reason is that this R-eye L-eye disparity (known as retinal rivalry) is very unpleasant to the viewer. The experience is subliminal and results in discomfort and general dissatisfaction with the experience i.e. people begin to dislike the film without knowing exactly why. Judging from the amount of flickering lighting I have seen so far I would suggest that there may be quite a few of these anomalies. Pay special attention to this because a film with many full frame rivalries throughout will repel many viewers.
OTHER - COLOR RIVALLRY
Color rivalry occurs when unexpected lighting shifts cause the 2 eyes to have areas where the color values do not match. This is most likely in shots with large action or camera movements. This happens when a light bounces off a reflective surface directly into the lens. It will happen only in one eye if the I/O slider moves the camera enough to bring the lens out of the direct path of the reflection in question. The result will be that the reflecting surface will be much hotter and higher contrast in the corresponding eye. This is virtually impossible to prevent. Shots with extreme movement, particularly where the characters move very near to the lens should be examined carefully during blocking. If such an error occurs there are several techniques for repair. Reshooting should not be ruled out because some of these problems can take many days to fix.
Fixes:
1. In shots which are less round and deep the images in each eye will be substantially similar. By rotoing the corresponding areas in the good eye, these areas can be composited directly on top of the bad areas in the second eye, often with little distortion necessary. This will probably need to be done piecemeal because (for example) an entire face will have the features in slightly different positions and the perspective of each will be slightly different. The geometry of the bad eye can be used as an exact guide for getting this correct.
2. Color correction within articulate roto applied to the good eye. Since the problem is brightness & contrast based the good eye is the one which must be adjusted. This can be undesirable for aesthetic reasons, but doing the opposite is close to impossible in all but the most subtle cases.
3. In the most extreme cases, the corresponding features in the good eye will need to be warped, piece by piece, to fit the corresponding features in the bad eye. This requires a large amount of very intricate articulate roto. This is an extremely painstaking process which requires a high level of skill and patience. Perfect results can be achieved, but often taking much more time than it would take to reshoot the offending shot.
Color rivalries are difficult to detect to the untrained eye, and will often be apparent only on a large screen projection. They are very important to find and eliminate for the same subliminal psychological reasons mentioned under lighting pops.
If you are interested in computers and love learning about the hardware, upgrading your own computer and doing just about anything you can with a computer, than a potential career with computers might just be the perfect job for you. Before you go out and just label yourself a computer expert though there are a few different tips you need to follow. These are going to make you easier to employ and even help you earn more money. This way, when you find a position that comes up and you're interested in, all of your experienced and training should pay off and help you land the job.
1) Learn both Operating Systems
It is very important for you to know how to use the operating systems. While you might have a personal preference as to which is best, knowing how to work both is very important, because by only learning one, you are going to greatly limit your job potential.
2) Certification
While you might already know how to do something and have extensive experience in it, obtaining a certification in the position tells anyone else who is reading your resume that you know how to do it and are not just listing it as a career skill on your resume. IT training certifications are always going to look better to an employer than no certification at all. This is very important to remember, and although you might have to pay some money up front for the class or certification test it is well worth the money.
3) Take Computer Courses
There are always computer courses available for you to take, and some of these classes are going to help you greatly expand your knowledge base. Yes, not all of the classes are going to be very exciting, as you probably already know how to use word processors, spread sheets or other programs. However, learning how the inner workings of these different software titles work and how you can troubleshoot the system is going to come in handy.
4) Read
If you go to the computer section of your local book store you are going to find all sorts of different computer books on different kinds of software, hardware and just about anything else you could possibly think of. These different books are great tools to not only learn from, but to have on hand when you do land a job.
5) New Hardware
Stay up to date with the newest software and hardware from computer manufacturers and never let your IT training expire. If you know how to work the latest programs and features, as well as the difference between previous models and releases, you can work on just about any computer system, regardless of how old or new it might be.

Nothing could be more exquisitely painful than losing critical data you have just finished putting in after a terrible accident (as in accidental formatting) or some horribly arcane mechanical glitch (as in broken drive parts) - although the end results would still be the same whether the data in your storage system had been in place for a long while now or relatively just written. This is to say that it would be catastrophic in both situations. Luckily, technology has evolved so much that previously considered lost data may still be recovered.
RAID, Mac, or laptop, hard disk recovery of data is entirely possible provided you take the proper steps to ensure it. The first thing you need to do, right after not exploding into a fit of panic, is to make sure that the problem really is the hard drive. Tech magazines recommend that you take out your hard drive from the troubled desktop or laptop and connect it to another computer to run hard drive diagnostics. For a Mac computer, you only need to use a FireWire cable to connect your troubled, non-functioning Mac by pressing down "T" at startup. If the files from the failed hard drive show up on the working Mac, the problem might not be the hard drive. If not, then it is time to seek professional help - the kind that uses forensic quality tools that recover digital data.
Companies that specialise in desktops, RAID, and Apple Mac hard disk data recovery would be recommended as this indicates a high level of expertise. Depending on the extent of the damage and data to be recovered, this specific and very technical service will cost a great deal of money. So you want to make sure that the service provider's data recovery process will not tie you to a pricey fee. Ideally, and perhaps for less complex data recovery jobs, you may get an online quotation and send your media through shipment. The data recovery company should be able to make a diagnosis and assess cost for the job.
For more complex jobs, you may want to personally bring your hard drive to the data recovery company. This will allow you to better understand the process and, more significantly, check out the company's facilities, such as its laboratory, for security. You want to guarantee that whatever sensitive data is contained in your storage source that it will remain secure with the recovery company.
From MacBook to RAID data recovery, a proper recovery firm can retrieve or salvage your lost files. Take the necessary step today. And find a reputable recovery company - before you need one. Check this out to know more about this.

I think we can all agree that computers and the internet have had a huge impact on pretty much every industry, and are the cornerstones of our modern civilization. It's amazing to think that people once thought of computers as a huge waste of space, and that they would never become popular. The past decade has taken these innovations and brought them into the mainstream with technologies like social networking, GPS, smartphones, and a whole lot more. It truly is mind-blowing to see how far we've come in the past decade alone.
We live in a unique and interesting time in human history, where the sharing of ideas and information is done at lightening speed, and innovative research is at an all-time high. The next 10 years are going to be one hell of a ride, with so many problems still left to solve - from overpopulation to finding alternative energy sources, from ending illness to exploring space - and we're only just starting to understand this basic fact: for all we know, we know almost nothing.
With all the innovation taking place in the world, from tiny steps in existing technologies to new, industry-changing ideas, it's getting pretty hard to keep up to date on the latest discoveries. If you're interested in a small glipse of what's in store for humanity in the near future (we limited our list to technologies we believe could be out in the next ten years), then this list is for you.
The Chemputer
This idea is still in the concept stage, but we foresee a bright, intoxicating future. Just as the 3D printer is able to take a 3D digital model, basically a file on your computer, and translate that into physical objects such as machine or gun parts, the Chemputer would take this concept to the molecular level and enable printing of pharmaceuticals. Instead of ink, this printer would use a mixture of carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen, the basic building blocks of most drugs, as well as certain agents such as vegetable oil and parafin.
Imagine the uses: diabetics could print their own insulin at home, personal Chemputers could be used in third world countries to print out the exact needed drug at the right time to save lives. Obviously this would have a huge impact on the medical and pharmaceutical industry as well as drug research. With the chemputer, you would go online, download your medication and then print it out, all from the comfort of your home.
Next-generation biofuels
The world is coming to terms with the need to ween itself of fossil fuels, which are quickly getting depleted and becoming more expensive to extract from the earth. Biofuels can be used in the place of fossil fuels in certain cases as they're derived from biological matter like vegetable oils, animal fats and so on. Unfortunately current technology has created biofuels that rely mainly on food, causing an increase in global food prices.
Today scientists are focusing their research into next-generation biofuels which would be generated from non-edible sources such as corn stover, switchgrass, woodchips, and miscanthus. In 2010 biofuels provided around 2.7% of the world's fuels for road transport, mainly through ethanol and biodiesel. It is believed that biofuels could help meet up to a quarter of the world's fuel needs by 2050.
Graphene
Graphene is basically a substance which is 300 times stronger than steel and made of only a thin layer of pure carbon, making it literally as light as a feather. Each sheet of graphene is only one atom thick, and one square meter weighs just 0.77 milligrams. In 2010 the Nobel Prize for Physics went to scientists researching this super film, and in 2013 a 1 billion dollar grant was awarded by the EU to researchers in the field.
The uses of this technology could be revolutionary: Space exploration and the aviation industry would benefit from the extremely light and strong material that could be used in aircraft construction. Graphene could revolutionize electronic devices by enabling lightweight, thin, flexible, yet durable display screens, cellphones, and much more. Graphene would also revolutionize transistor componentry and solar pane construction.
Photovoltaic Glass
This highly durable, efficient optical grade glass will be used in the future to allow any flat surface, from the mirror in your bathroom, to a picture hanging from the wall in your bedroom, to be used as an integrated computer screen. Together with a household computer system you will be able to access the internet, control your "smart" house, and get instant information about your fridge temperature or anything else, at the touch of a surface/screen.
Imagine brushing your teeth in the morning and simultaneously getting your news from the bathroom mirror. Your refrigerator would have touch capabilities, enabling you to continue with the news, display favorite family photos or even video chat with grandma from your fridge door. Then move it all to the kitchen table with just a touch. Photovoltaic glass can also house solar cells laminated between glass layers, meaning that soon every window will become an energy generating solar panel.
DNA Data Storage
The discovery of DNA has led to humanity's deeper understanding of living organisms and viruses, as it's basically a set of instructions and information encoded into molecules. Just as mother nature uses DNA to store biological information, so too have scientists discovered a way to store and encode digital information into DNA, enabling storage of massive amounts of data in a very small space. In fact, one gram of DNA can store at least 2.2 million gigabits of information, which is over 450,000 DVDs worth of storage space.
Using this new method of storing data, it will now be possible to store all the data that has been accumulating during the digital age, and much more. Written, audio and visual information have all already been uploaded into DNA then retrieved by DNA sequencing. The future of bio-computing is here.
Driverless Cars
When you just start out, it's exciting and fresh. As the years go by, it becomes habit and loses its lustre. Driving is a part of life for millions around the world, enabling fast and east transportation of people and goods, but also leading to many yearly fatalities from wreckless driving. Imagine getting into your car, talking to the voice-activated computer and telling it where you'd like to go, then nodding off to sleep, secure in the idea that your car will be able to drive you to your destination without your help.
Well, not only is this going to be a reality in the coming years, Google is already deep into the advanced stages of research, and driverless cars have already logged thousands of miles, having traversed the windy hills of San Francisco, cruised over the Golden Gate Bridge and even run laps around Lake Tahoe. The cars navigate using advanced GPS technology as well as special laser sensors mounted on the roof to help "map out" the area around the vehicle. They know to stop when there's a pedestrian on the road, and to drive when the traffic light turns green. Say goodbye to your designated driver!
Visual prosthesis (Bionic Eye)
Just as technology has advanced to the point where the cochlear implant is helping deaf people to hear, the idea behind the bionic eye is to help the blind, or those with very poor eyesight, to see. Researchers are making fast advances in developing artificial eyes that would give sight to the blind, and prototypes are already available that provide grainy images. However, the eye is much more complex than a regular camera and complex software, such as missile tracking technology, must be employed in perfecting the technology.
We believe there will come a time when everyone will be able to see with perfect eyesight. That future is closer then you imagine.
We live in a unique and interesting time in human history, where the sharing of ideas and information is done at lightening speed, and innovative research is at an all-time high. The next 10 years are going to be one hell of a ride, with so many problems still left to solve - from overpopulation to finding alternative energy sources, from ending illness to exploring space - and we're only just starting to understand this basic fact: for all we know, we know almost nothing.
With all the innovation taking place in the world, from tiny steps in existing technologies to new, industry-changing ideas, it's getting pretty hard to keep up to date on the latest discoveries. If you're interested in a small glipse of what's in store for humanity in the near future (we limited our list to technologies we believe could be out in the next ten years), then this list is for you.

Global Positioning System unit is taking a high toll in the latest addition of gadgets and electronic devices. GPS - Global Positioning System is a satellite based electronic device that provides information on time, positioning and weather conditions. Sometimes the satellite navigation system may not be re-installed but you can connect it separately to your device. GPS devices can be loaded in cars, mobiles, home computers, laptops, digital cameras or smart phones.
How the GPS device works?
Each device has an inbuilt GPS receiver connected to the GPS satellite that coordinates the location and shows the position. The security forces and security system of countries have become largely dependent on GPS navigation system. The military defense, civil, navy and aviation forces are using GPS systems to track, coordinate and regulate the locational activities. The excessive use of GPS to track positions has made it more vulnerable to hacking. Attack on Global Positioning System for hacking and hijacking is on the rise. Installed GPS devices have enabled easy hacking of smart phones, iPhones, laptops and cars and last but not the least is aircraft hijacking. Through GPS, jamming a hacker can get a complete remote access of the electronic device.
How Can A GPS Device Be Jammed?
The purpose of GPS jamming is to block the signaling and prevent it from working. To disable a GPS tracking device a variety of methods is used. Hackers using mobile phones and other radio signal related electronics devices can disable the GPS too and not only that they can replace the real GPS signal with a fake one. This will show fake locational position. These GPS spoofing gadgets actually send fake radio signals replacing the real signal transmitted. Many people tend to relate GPS signals with navigation. The use of GPS as a time signal has potentially made it more susceptible to GPS spoofing which poised as a bigger threat today rather than simple GPS blocking.
How do you protect your GPS device is a big question?
Ethical Hacking Institutes are building technically sound experts who can actually prevent you from hackers. These ethical hacking training centers run certified ethical hacking courses. You can hire certified ethical hacking individuals who can technically and exclusively device programs for you to protect your GPS system.
Interloping, manipulating or nullifying of a GPS device is a punishable offense. So be on your guard and stay well informed and aware if you are technically and professionally dependent on the Global Positioning System. Remember whatever GPS device you have it is always prone to hacking.

A laptop is essential to daily life. You use it at work, home and during leisure activities. Caring for your laptop is important so that you have access to it at all times. Laptop repair is expensive so waiting until the damage is done is too late. Use these tips along with the products and accessories as a part of your laptop care routine so that you can extend its life. Always turn off and unplug the power adapter and battery before cleaning it. Your safety is important when cleaning your laptop.
1. Use a Laptop Cleaning Kit
This contains a Keyboard Cleaning Brush, Microfiber Cloth and Laptop Cleaning Liquid. The brush can be a regular dusting brush or a Mini USB Vacuum Keyboard Cleaner Brush. The keyboard cleaning brush is used to remove dust, food particles and other messy substances that fall between the keys on your keyboard. Use the brush regularly to keep your keyboard clean. The microfiber cloth does not scratch surfaces so it is a great choice for cleaning the surface including the screen. A dry microfiber cloth can be used. However, for a more sparkling clean and to remove sticky substances then use the microfiber cloth and cleaning liquid. The cloth should be damp and not soaked with liquid.
2. Use a Laptop Air Duster Spray
An Air Duster Spray is a can of compressed air. It cleans in between your keyboard keys just like the keyboard brush. However, it works better for removing particles that are hard to reach or stuck. Use it in a sweeping motion to remove those unwanted particles.
3. Have a Laptop Cooling Pad or Laptop Cooler
A Laptop Cooling Pad is used to keep your laptop cool because the battery gets very hot when in use. The desk surface or legs can get very warm after using it for a long time. Therefore, the cooling pad ensures that it is cool enough to be used safely.
4. Utilize a Laptop Carrying Case
A Laptop Carrying Case is used to protect your laptop while travelling or for storing it after daily use. The case protects it from food, liquids, dents and other kinds of damage. The carrying case can be a laptop sleeve, tote bag, backpack, messenger bag or briefcase. Always use the proper size case to ensure that it fits snugly and does not suffer shock from moving around in the case.
These are the most common products and accessories that should be used to clean and maintain a properly working laptop. Follow the tips above to extend the life of your laptop and have access 24/7.

Windows 8 is making a headway against Vista. However, both of them have no match with Windows 7. The most recent figures have shown that, in May, Windows 8 has a 4.27 percentage share of the PCs being installed worldwide versus the 4.51% for Vista. As you know, Vista is one of the least popular OSes introduced in November 2006. But then again, maybe they will be breaking out the sparkling wine soon. Still, Windows 7 leads a long shot at 44.85% and it truly made gains in May. It had 44.72% in April.
Newer Isn't Always Better
We need to understand the situation. According to Bill Gates, higher is better. Let's take a look at the reality. The Windows Me, the blue one has problems. The Windows 98 has issues. The Windows Vista could not transfer files over a network at rational speeds. Users were happy with Windows XP but it became out-dated. Now, this most recent version, which is Windows 8, has even more issues. This points out that newer is not always better. As what Bill Gates says, it's not practical to point out the best one, when the most recent has more issues. Without a doubt, people prefer Windows 7 because it has operated far better and has had lesser and more tolerable issues.
Still, Windows 7 Is Pretty Good
Many people tried to purchase and install Windows 8 on their desktop or laptop, but when they discovered some drawbacks, they came back to Windows 7. Users know that Windows 7 does not have a touch screen, but that does not matter. People with laptops and desktops are used to having a mouse as a way to navigate and do not mind that it is not similar to Smartphone, touch screens or tablets. Windows 7 does not push services to people. It is more comfortable in desktop experience and users are not forced to hunt the disabling settings, as well as learning to live with the things that cannot be disabled.
When people see Windows 8, they will get excited at first. But, when they get to know it better, most of them would love to go back to Windows 7, due to its convenience. Windows 7 is indeed great, and this is the reason why most businesses are sticking with it. As you know, Windows 7 is derived from XP. Though, Windows 8 got its throne from Vista. There is nothing better than Window 7.

IT operations today, are a mixture of day to day operations and isolated large scale projects. Outsource software development enables flexibility for large scale projects with the easy incorporation of additional project resources. Outsourcing involves bundling of multiple customers to specific infrastructure components. It thus increases the potential for process optimization as a fixed number of employees working on the project each time and usage of the right tools. According to the new analyst report, outsourcing relationships and destinations are changing, and similarly vendor management is as important as ever.
Innovation is flourishing in competition to bring in the best clients and to create a great relationship and to hold on to them. This competition-fuelled inventiveness is a blessing in disguise. It is ably benefiting the outsourcing relationship. Large U.S - based technology companies and Indian IT outsourcing firms are paying close attention to proposed legislation focused on tightening restrictions. They are also increasing the oversight of the non-immigrant professional visas and they use to place foreign professionals in roles stateside. New reports have included recommendations for software vendors which can collapse down on piracy.
Offshore software outsourcing is getting easier- if it already isn't:
Offshore software development is a significant part of the offshore IT outsourcing market which helps the companies to focus on their core activities, and over the period of time, it has developed a distinctive place for itself. They also provide them with a means of fulfilling their business requirements and that too in a cost effective manner. It sets up an extended development center at the offshore delivery center that works as an extension to the in-house IT team. The specialized IT services - custom software development and web application development allow the business to focus on core competencies and can enable to attain the business goals and objectives faster.
Nowadays, challenges require the support of a committed partner who is quick and responsive with a comprehensive solution offering. To maintain a perfect coordination between all the offshore development centers and that too in accordance with the client's satisfaction is a big task. This limitation can be overcome by making the best possible use of the most modern means of communication. On-site team, remains in direct contact with the client, and thus is able to understand the client's needs in a better way. Well, agile software development hold the key to interactive programming of software which is now gaining steam by virtue of mobiles and clouds.

Computers are great when they run quickly & smoothly, but as soon as they run slow, they quickly become extremely annoying and frustrating to use. Millions of people have to put up with using slow computers every day, and if you're one of them, the good news is that there is a simple trick computer technicians use to help boost the speed of any Windows system in just a few minutes. Here's what you need to do...
The way to boost the speed of your PC is to fix the problems that cause it to run slowly. There are a variety of issues which can cause a computer to slow down, but there's one that causes Windows to take longer to open up your programs & your system. The most common reason why your PC is running slow is that the 'registry' database is continually being corrupted and damaged. This database is one of the most important parts of your system, and is actually the most likely reason why your PC is running slow.
The trick that many computer technicians use to boost the speed of slow computers is to "clean out" the registry database and make Windows able to read it a lot easier. The registry is basically a central database inside Windows, which stores a lot of important files & information your system needs to run. Everything from your desktop wallpaper to your Internet favorites are kept in this database, making it one of the most vital parts of all Windows systems. It's best to think of the registry as like a "telephone directory" for your PC - storing important settings that your computer can look up at any time.
The big problem with the registry database is that it contains so much valuable information that Windows is continually saving many of its listings in the wrong way, making them extremely difficult to read. This is like taking the telephone directory and mixing all the pages up - leading Windows to take longer to read the settings it requires to run, slowing it down and causing a lot of problems on your system. Not many people even know the registry exists inside Windows, but it's one of the most important parts of your PC which needs to be kept in top condition.
The good news is that you can now fix the registry, like the computer pros, and make your PC run extremely fast again. There are effective software programs called "registry cleaners" which have been designed to repair the errors inside the registry, allowing your computer to run much faster and without many errors. Many computer tech's use registry cleaner programs to scan through slow PCs and repair the errors that could be causing them to run slow.
