If you love gadgets, then you probably have a relatively good idea about the kind of technology that you will be desperate to buy over during the next 12 months. But 2012 might present you with some surprises. These are just a few of the devices that will be turning heads in the coming year. From tablets and smart phones to handheld games consoles and whacky electronics, there is something for everyone.

PlayStation Vita
The February launch of the PlayStation Vita is an important one for Sony and its hordes of fans. It will be the first major portable gaming device to emerge from the company since the PlayStation Portable in 2004. The Vita is a hardware powerhouse, featuring a quad-core processor, five-inch OLED touchscreen display and plenty of media capabilities to complement its gaming credentials. It also has some unique interface features, with dual analogue sticks providing great control. There is also a secondary touch-sensitive area mounted on the back of the Vita in order to encourage game developers to dream up new ways to interact with their titles. With triple-A games such as Uncharted: Golden Abyss launching alongside the Vita, it should have a good chance of making its mark in 2012.

Apple iPad 3
Although official details relating to the iPad 3 have yet to be published, it seems relatively easy to guess what features will be included in the finished product. A higher-resolution screen that follows in the footsteps of the iPhone 4′s Retina Display seems like a certainty, as does a quad-core processor based on the A6 chipset developed by ARM. Meanwhile, the measly camera of the iPad 2 is a prime candidate for an upgrade, perhaps adding full HD 1080p video capture to the mix.

Samsung Galaxy S3
The Galaxy S3 is perhaps the most exciting mobile-phone launch of 2012. It follows on from last year’s Galaxy S2, which sold millions of units and set the bar with its dual-core processor and 4.3-inch Super AMOLED Plus display. The Galaxy S3 is likely to up the ante with a quad-core processor and high-definition resolution on another expansive Super AMOLED Plus screen. It is thought that the screen will measure up to 4.7 inches for this iteration in order to keep up with rival models from HTC and LG.

3D Optical Finger Mouse
One of the odder gadgets destined to arrive in 2012 is this alternative to the traditional computer mouse. It fits around your index finger using a strap and then fires out a laser, letting you move the cursor while you have both hands hovering over your keyboard, which should save time while you are typing. The initial version will have a USB connection, although hopefully a wireless edition will be launched at a later date to free up your fingers even further.

Night Scope Binoculars
These night-vision binoculars are designed with a chunky plastic finish, which makes them perfect for kids and adults alike. They work perfectly well in standard daylight, but after dark a little pop-up IR emitter lets you see the world around you long after the sun has dipped below the horizon.

If you want to watch nature in your garden at night without alerting the animals to your presence, or just sneak up on your friends undetected for a bit of fun, this is the gadget for you.

If you’re anything like me, nothing drives you crazier than a slow computer. These days we don’t just use our PCs occasionally; most of us are on them – in one capacity or another – at least a few hours out of every day. With the massive upsurge of Internet activity, there has also been an increase in the number of things that can go wrong with your PC: not optimized internet settings, junk files and data, unnecessary programs installed, unnecessary processes running etc… And it’s just these sorts of problems that the SpeedUpMyPC software promises to fix.

To be honest with you, my first introduction to SpeedUpMyPC was via several positive testimonials I’ve came across online when I was searching to find ways to improve the speed of my computer. I figured that if this product was being praised that much from reputable sources on the Internet, then there may just be something to it. I even saw some real life people giving a SpeedUpMyPC review and testimonial on one commercial. So I decided to check this software out, and write a SpeedUpMyPC  review of my own. As a side note, this tool is a product from Uniblue which is a reputable company in the field of computer optimization.

Hopefully, this SpeedUpMyPC review will help you determine if this is the software your computer needs to start running quicker and more efficiently.

SpeedUpMyPC  Review – An Overview of the product

Before we get too far into this SpeedUpMyPC review, let’s take a few minutes to discuss exactly what SpeedUpMyPC is, and how it will help you to enhance the speed of your computer system.

SpeedUpMyPC is mainly a program that will perform several deep and automated tweaks and modifications to several computer settings which are known to slow down computers. It first scans your computer and Internet connection to look for problems. This is very similar to what you might think of when your anti-virus software does its thing. SpeedUpMyPC will locate problems, diagnose them and then implement various settings’ tweaking and performance boosting tasks to help remedy the technical issues that slow down your system.

To make a long story short – SpeedUpMyPC finds problems related to slow computer speed, determines what those problems are and then uses some of the included intelligence to get those problems fixed for good. It does exactly what I’d expect this kind of software to do, and seems pretty thorough in its ability to both locate and resolve common issues that slow computers down.

How will SpeedUpMyPC Help You

As a computer user, you will get the following benefits by using SpeedUpMyPC:

• Overall enhancement of computer speed.
• Optimized and faster Internet speed (faster loading of websites etc).
• Programs will launch faster.
• Computer will boot up faster.
• Cleaning of junk files from hard disk.
• More responsive windows interface and windows search.

But don’t take my word for it. I suggest you to download the program from the official website and perform a FREE performance Scan to see what problems are slowing your system down and how this tool can help you.

SpeedUpMyPC Features & Details

• Designed for people who aren’t necessarily computer savvy or for those who are, but simply want a simple, no nonsense solution to every day computer-slowing problems.
• Works by way of simple, one-click commands. In other words, you don’t have to deal with a lot of complicated menus to put SpeedUpMyPC into action.
• Lists the problems that it finds. It’s nice to know exactly what the problems plaguing your PC are, and this software suite gives you a detailed list of the problems that it encounters and repairs.
• Manages start-up programs. These days, some computers can have dozens, or hundreds of star-up programs running, and many people aren’t even aware of them being executed. This is a big reason that so many computers boot up or run slowly, and SpeedUpMyPC helps to manage this all-to-common problem efficiently.
• Manages running processes and disables services and processes that are not necessary. These services are usually resource-hungry and they take up too much memory and processor load.
• Relatively low price. Compared to similar registry cleaning and computer optimization utilities, SpeedUpMyPC is very reasonably priced and what I would consider to be very affordable for just about everyone.

Below are some screenshots of the product when I installed and tested it on my own computer:

SpeedUpMyPC  Pros & Cons

Now that we’ve covered the brass tacks of this program, let’s get down to the nitty gritty. I’m not going to do a song and dance, telling you that this is the perfect computer fixing program, because it’s not. To make this a fair, balanced SpeedUpMyPC review I wanted to let you in on the good – and the bad – about this software, so you can decide whether or not it will help with your computer slowness issues.

Pros

• Great at managing unwanted start-up programs and processes. As I’ve said earlier, too many of the wrong kind of start-up programs can bring computers to a screeching halt. This program does a great job at resolving these types of problems.
• Adjusts as you need it. The SpeedUpMyPC software delves into your Internet connection, and actually helps to tweak the internet settings on the fly. What this does is helps your PC to make the most of your Internet connection – resulting in faster web browsing.
• Easy to use. If you don’t know a lot about tweaking computers, or simply don’t want to fuss with complicated software, you’ll find the one-click user interface of the SpeedUpMyPC software very simple to work with.
• You would need a computer science degree if you actually wanted to speed up your PC manually by yourself. SpeedUpMyPC will do anything needed for a fast computer automatically.
• The price is right. This software costs much less than similar programs from other manufacturers.

Cons

• Not enough prevention. It’s great that this program cleans up common PC issues that slow down your computer, but it would be even better if it had some tools to help protect against future threats.
• Problem lists aren’t super-detailed. Even though most people don’t really want a lot of technical details about their computer problems – they just want them fixed – it would still be nice to get a bit more information about the problems fixed, as this information may help some more advanced users avoid similar problems down the road.

SpeedUpMyPC Review Conclusion

Having looked into all the good and bad points of SpeedUpMyPC, I would recommend it to anyone who has been having computer slowness issues. This software is great at locating and removing the most common types of threats that tend to slow down computers. It’s not the most robust computer fixing and optimization software available, but it should help the majority of PC owners get their slowness issues identified and resolved, without requiring a lot of effort from computer owners.

At any given point in time, a computer owner may be faced with the need to recover from a serious crash or fix a critical error on his or her computer. This can be easily done with a computer utilities package like Powersuite Golden 2012. The best part is that this complete package of computer utilities can do so much more than just fix errors. Check out this Powersuite Golden Review for more information. Here are just a few of the pros to having Powersuite Golden 2012:

• Everything you could ever want or need to keep your computer functioning optimally is included.
• Easy to use for anyone, even for people who have little to no understanding of computers.
• The ability to recover your computer from a crash, virus, bluescreen and blackscreen.
• Even with a dead computer, you will be able to reboot your system with the included Spotmau Bootsuite product.

Now that I have gone over some of the pros, I have to list the cons as well. But, the only con is that it has so many features that Powersuite Golden can be overwhelming to some people.

Note that Powersuite Golden is a product of Spotmau Corporation. This company has been acquired by Wondershare corporation, which is also offering the same product with a different name. If you buy from Spotmau, the products are called Powersuite Golden, Powersuite 2012 and Bootsuite 2012. If you buy the products from Wondershare they are called Powersuite Golden 2012, WinSuite 2012 and LiveBoot2012.

We can easily capture and transfer DV video from a camcorder to a PC using the Firewire port. You should note however that all this is done with a DV codec software that commits the resources of the central processor. In this case, a fast processor is definitely a big help. Also, the firewire port is the ideal port to use on your PC for high speed video transfer. Firewire ports can work up to 800 Mbps which makes it one of the fastest ports on a computer. After transferring the video you can use avs4you (get this avs4you coupon for huge discount) for video conversion, editing and any other multimedia task needed for your video file..

Some useful observations about this setup:

• The firewire connection is not just a channel that allows the transit of audio and video. In many cases it gives the possibility to control the camcorder from the PC directly via virtual buttons to play, record, stop, etc . This greatly simplifies the task of searching through the video.
• Also, thanks to the firewire link, you can set with timelines specifying the start and end frame for each sequence. In this way the PC will be able to start the search for sequences on the camcorder tape and store them all with different names, without us lifting a finger. This technique is called “batch capture” and can be done in the background.
• Thanks to the Firewire connection, PC can capture formats other than DV. There are very few capture devices that use this connection to capture MPEG2. In these cases, the PC has to carry out an operation of recompression and conversion of native DV format to MPEG2.

According to the findings of a global survey from Online Security Brand Tracker, conducted on behalf of ESET (April-May 2011), nearly 50% of Internet users are using portable devices as their primary connection. The most popular devices used for Internet connectivity are notebooks (41%), followed by netbooks (3%), smartphones (2%) and tablets (1%).

When you’re in an airport, you open your laptop to read or send e-mails, looking for a free Wi-Fi hotspot. And there it is! You almost always find one and connect to send and read your e-mails etc. What you do not take into consideration is that the free Wi-Fi may have a privacy cost associated with it: the data of your connection, your personal details and other important information can be stolen when you send your message, without having any idea that such a thing could happen. Before you know it, you’re calling Lifelock for identity theft protection because your personal information has been stolen, and soon, your identity.

What should make you suspicious is when there is a Wi-Fi hotspot with a name that is not recognized or resembles an official or even a celebrity name. Also, the user must be particularly cautious in hotspots that do not need password protection for access. The ‘magic’ of the data theft happens through a proxy technology, which monitors the Wi-Fi communication and captures and stores a copy of all your data on the hacker’s laptop. This process will slow down the traffic speed of your connection but in cases of networks with many users it is difficult to say with certainty whether the slow traffic is due to the theft of your data or because there are many users connected simultaneously.

Each time the user performs a task on the internet, whether buying staff online, checking your bank account or checking of email, the computer must send the login to the network, which is a goldmine for fraudsters on the internet. Under normal conditions the connection to a secure site (such as your bank site) must start with “https” instead of “http“, which means that traffic is encrypted. Some sophisticated hackers can even steal your encrypted communication (by proxying your connections through their own computer). For this reason, extreme caution is required when giving personal information and passwords in a public WiFi hotspot.

The threats to be aware while using public Wi-Fi:

• Evil twin login interception: networks set up by hackers to resemble legitimate Wi-Fi hotspots.
• 0-day OS / app attack attempts: attacking your computer and applications in order to get access to it using unknown and unpatched vulnerabilities.
• Sniffing: software or hardware that can capture and record the traffic passing over a network.
• Data leakage (man-in-the-middle attack): Cyber-criminals who can modify network traffic, leaving the impression that the user navigates the website of a bank for instance, while, in reality, traffic is passed first through the attacker’s computer.
