If you have been pulled over for drunk driving, or other public offense, it is possible that the police will take your smartphone or feature phone for evidence. Once they get it, there will now be this new tablet, created by AccessData, that will suck all your personal information out of it as easy as you can suck down a frosty at Wendy’s. In fact, it may be faster.

Just Like Santa Claus, This Tablet Knows

A powerful little touch screen tablet is going to find out if you have been naughty or nice. This one is version 4.6. The older versions just needed three or four clicks and the contact list, text messages, emails and all the rest would flow from your smartphone to their computer. For evaluation, it makes police work that much easier. For the criminal owner of the smartphone or dumbphone, it means they are caught that much faster. The new lightweight tablet can be taken to the field and used in a mobile setting, freeing up the forensic examiner or policeman to do their job quickly.

The Tablet To Catch The Criminals

Catching the bad guys by the evidence on their smartphones is serious business. Making it simple and easy for the officer or examiner is key to starting up proceedings or moving up court dates. This tablet, called the "MPE+ Tablet" is a stand-alone solution for police departments or large businesses who want to know what is on a cell phone. Once they get that, the tablet is automatically connected to mobile forensics software that does a range of things. More than one mobile device can be compared with the one from the suspect. Evidence from other computers can be included and mixed or matched for optimum results.

All Will Be Seen, Even If The Phone Is Locked

So far the list of devices this MPE+ tablet will analyze includes many of the top operating systems. Blackberry smartphones as well as Windows Mobile ( the older version, not Windows Phone 7 ), Android and the iPhone are all covered. The Apple iPad tablet is also covered. For those who have jailbroken their Android smartphone, those smartphones are also covered. Locked or unlocked, this tablet can reach a smartphone’s personal information.

Nice Hardware Goes With The Software

The tablet comes with 16 gigabytes of internal storage to store your personal information. If that is not enough, the MPE+ tablet also comes with a flash memory slot for more space. It also comes with an impressive amount of RAM, two gigabytes. The tablet itself runs on Microsoft Windows Standard 7. The screen is sized at 10.1 inches of digital real estate. Accessdata, the company that makes the MPE+, will have to be contacted for prices.

In case anybody was thinking that Office 365 might be a ‘simpler’ administrative process than say, a Small Business Server, they may want to reconsider. The reality is that many small business owners attempting to DIY an Office 365 setup will not succeed. If they do succeed, it will most likely be a multi-day task that is seriously disruptive to their business.

Lots of Work Expected

Never fear IT Consultants, Office 365 may bring you more work than ever. One of the key features of Office 365 is the fact the administration portal for exchange is extremely limited. In Small Business Server there are a number of wizards available and the task can potentially be handed over to a non-technical staff member for account setup, especially for new mailboxes.

Office 365 unfortunately brings up back to the command line if mailbox sharing is required. To assign one user permissions over another mailbox we need to use the windows Powershell.

Another complicated feature is the need to create MX records on the domain hosting services for your domain, lest your website be swallowed up by Microsoft’s Online services. Complicated DNS records need to be entered. Granted, that Microsoft tries to make this easy by giving very clear instructions. Nevertheless it can be very daunting for less technical people to manage.

The next challenge that users will face is the difficulty that can be experienced in setting up Outlook to connect to the outlook.com server farm. Sometimes there are issues resolving the mailbox, and advanced options in Outlook will need to be tweaked to allow a connection to Exchange over HTTP.

Intranet Anyone?

Users are now presented with Sharepoint, this is another tool that will present strong training or administration opportunities to IT Consultants. Sharepoint can be challenging to new users, and a lot of paid hours are guaranteed as small and medium businesses set up intranet projects.

It’s Still Worth Doing

Don’t be mistaken, a move to Office 365 is roughly the same degree of difficulty as a Small Business Server setup. Minus hardware and backups of course, but these are not really a large part of Exchange Deployment and administration.

Moving to Office 365 will bring great rewards. The service is of course cloud based, the mailbox size of 25GB is extremely generous, and the platform as a whole feels very robust and stable. Just don’t expect the setup to be a breeze. If you are not from a technical background and have knowledge of mail servers and internet technologies, then I would suggest handing the work over to an experienced IT Consultant who will help take the headaches away.

Do you need a bit of extra money this month? Or perhaps you’re just looking for a way to pay for that iPhone hanging out in your bag. Whatever the case may be, you can use your iPhone to make anywhere from a few dollars to a few hundred dollars every month. Making money with apps is easy, if you just know where to look.

Gigwalk

By far the most popular money making app on the iPhone, Gigwalk is only currently available for people in five cities, but does have plans to expand. The app is free and each “job” on Gigwalk pays a different amount of money. You may be asked to visit a convenience store and report on whether the displays were orderly, snap a photo of a business’s lawn, or even report if you were carded when you bought a glass of wine at the local bar. The jobs are fairly simple and great for people who spend a lot of time walking through their neighborhoods.

Field Agent

Field Agent is very similar to Gigwalk, but more widely available. Simply download the app, complete posted tasks and earn money; it couldn’t be easier! Tasks posted by companies include everything from checking on their merchandise displays, noting how their employees treat customers, or even if their products are priced correctly. Prices for jobs range from $3 to $12 and are paid in real money via your PayPal account. The best thing of all: you can cash out at any time! While jobs will vary based on city, users report making anywhere from $50 a month to $1000 a month.

WeReward

This app pays in points, which can be converted to real money once you’ve reached a certain point level. Users report that non-photo tasks are sometimes non-existent, but that photo related tasks are easy to find. Recent jobs include taking a photo of yourself with one of WalMart’s products or snapping a picture while eating in a Pizza Hut. Jobs do have specific instructions that must be followed for points to be rewarded.

Seed

Seed is a great application that allows you to release your inner journalist. Submit photos of breaking news, with brief summaries, and, if accepted, you will be paid. You can also opt to receive assignments based on your location. New accounts for Seed are currently on hold as they revamp the website, but you can send an email to be put on a contact list for signing up with Seed 2.0.

Create an App

Depending on your idea and level of creativity, you can make great money designing and releasing an app. If you’ve ever had a thought in your head about making an app, go for it! You can create one for free or have a developer make one for you, using your idea, for a fee. If you can come up with an idea for an app that people will find entertaining or useful, you could be raking in the dough!

Chances are you’ve spent good money for your iPhone; why not let it pay you back? While there are several apps that allow you to earn points by completing tasks, these are the clear frontrunners when it comes to apps that will make you money. Download them and see what you can start earning today!

More and more kids play video games as an outlet for the stresses of being children. Games provide a safe and challenging atmosphere where kids can demonstrate mastery of their skills while taking time for themselves to decompress after the rigorous atmosphere of the classroom.

While everyone seems to know a gamer as “someone who takes their games very seriously” there are plenty of kids who appreciate what video games offer on a less involved level. Drawing on strategic thinking whilst developing hand and eye coordination, many games expand the mind in positive ways while providing a fun experience. Here are five of the best:

1. Kinect Sports

With an out of the box functionality that enables a player to turn their space into another environment – think stadiums, soccer pitches, or even a bowling alley – these are tops with kids who struggle with injury during the real world versions of those environments. Made for the Xbox 360, this game is an instant hit with most players. Including an ability to play games with no controller “simply moving their bodies will do” kids can become the team’s star player in no time!

2. Gran Turismo 5

Driving just got better! With the included ability to challenge friends, your day on the track need not merely include player versus computer. Not only that, but you can select from over 1,000 different vehicles to drive. That’s more than even Jerry Seinfeld owns! Test your ability to steer precisely on actual roads, or if that’s too much like the real world, take to the included fictional roads or one of many race track configurations.

3. Madden NFL 11

Most everybody enjoys watching football. But this game is popular because, for a change, you can be the star, just like the quarterback that you once envied in high school. Execute football strategies one play at a time, just like the real deal. Coaching tips simulate the coaching signals you see during game time, and help you to defeat the opposing team. With a new play call system in place, a full game takes only 30 minutes to complete. You could play a game during halftime of the Sunday ball game!

4. Pac-Man

It might be an oldie, but it’s the best of the oldies. Help Pac Man gobble up items as phantoms chase him through the maze. Grab points as you escape being bumped into by the flitting ghosts. Careful as you round that corner or you could get boxed in by a strategizing pair of spookies!

5. Desktop Tower Defense

Block the enemy creeps from crossing the map. It may sound simple, but tower defense involves serious strategy to build a suitable maze from which to fire upon the relentless hordes from your tower. Prevent the creeps from taking over, and beware – the creeps have various powers!

No matter a child’s present level of interest in video games, they’ll be sure to take a bit more time to play when any of these five games are in front of them. Show them how much you care about them de-stressing, and maybe take a few moments to unwind yourself.

Making green devices is becoming kind of trendy lately – Nokia claims to make eco-friendly phones, Samsung released the Replenish – one of the greenest Samsung phones ever, Apple says its devices are really green, too… I guess we are all really glad to know that so many green phones are being produced. But many of us don’t really know what an eco-friendly device actually is. So let’s now try to find it out.

If you want to understand if a device is green or not, you should take into account how and from what materials it was manufactured and what packaging and accessories it has. Some experts even say the lifecycle of the phone and the way it’s disposed of also play an important role. Let’s now focus on all of these criteria.

1- Materials

Smartphones are usually made from plastic, metals, different chips, PCB and other components. In a green phone all these components can be from eco-friendly materials like recycled or recyclable plastic, metal and glass. Ideally even paints can be made from renewable materials. There are also materials like bio plastic, which is already green and doesn’t even need to be recycled – it would be great if more smartphones were made from biodegradable materials like this bio plastic.

Maybe making one phone from such materials will cost much more than from “ordinary” plastic, but if smartphone manufacturers change the whole production and start using these materials for all of their phones, the costs will be considerably cut. Besides, I’m sure many people will agree to pay more for an eco-friendly device.

A green smartphone shouldn’t contain any dangerous or toxic materials, too – but I guess this goes without saying. In 2003 RoHS (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) was adopted by EU, restricting the use of some dangerous substances in electronic devices: Lead (Pb), Mercury (Hg), Cadmium (Cd), Hexavalent chromium (Cr⁶⁺), Polybrominated biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE). So a green smartphone should contain none of these.

2- Manufacturing process

A green smartphone should not only be made from eco-friendly materials, but its manufacturing process has to be green, too. It means the manufacturing process of the phone must be energy efficient – the manufacturer must try to save as much energy as it’s possible (it will be good for the manufacturer, too – the less energy they use on the production, the less costs they have and the less the price of the phone will be).

3- Accessories

All of the accessories of a green smartphone should be made from eco-friendly materials, just like the smartphone itself. The charger should be energy efficient so that less power is consumed to charge the phone. There are also alternative chargers (for example, solar chargers) that are totally eco-friendly, and it would be great if green smartphones came with such accessories.

4- Packaging

Most smartphone manufacturers pay attention only to the design and sturdiness of the packaging they make for their product, since they think packaging has only two purposed – to attract the potential buyers and to protect the device from any damages while it’s shipped. But even the packaging of a green phone can be green – made from recycled materials (like recycled paper boards or plastic). Ideally the box shouldn’t contain any paper user manuals, since all that info can be found in the Internet, so why waste paper?

So these were the main criteria of a green smartphone. Is there a smartphone in the current market that meets all these requirements? I guess there isn’t, but at least some manufacturers (namely Nokia, Samsung and Apple) are doing their best to produce eco-friendly devices, and I believe very soon their new phones will become even greener. It would be great if other smartphone manufacturers could also follow their example and help make our planet less polluted.

What are the top IT trends that are worth watching out for in 2012? The upcoming Consumer Electronics Show (CES) will showcase some of these trends, but with 140,000 attendees stepping over each other’s feet, you don’t want to be caught there. Plus, who can say no to a nice preview? Here are 10 IT trends to watch out for in 2012.

1. Windows 8 Handhelds

We’ll be seeing several major handheld manufacturers, especially Nokia, HTC and Samsung releasing Windows 8 devices in 2012. In a mobile world dominated by Apple and Android headlines, this should make for a welcome change. 2012 is big time for Windows 8 and Windows phones, which will totally dispel the current notion of Microsoft as a primarily PC software company.

2. UltraBooks

What do you call super-slim, super-light notebooks? They’re called ‘UltraBooks’. The new name for this version of notebooks is Intel’s brainchild, to compete with the MacBook Air. Therefore, the rather expensive, but extremely compelling new UltraBooks, kept slim by the use of SSD are the new laptops.

3. Next Gen Tablets

Major companies such as Lenovo, Toshiba, ViewSonic and Acer are all bringing out state-of-the-art tablets in 2012, delivering a huge whammy to Apple’s iPad. Nvidia’s quad-core Tegra 3 processors will find their way into some brand new tablets as well, so look out. These new tablets have everything including quicker multitasking, fabulous video playback, never before seen 3D gaming visuals, fabulous interface swiping – you name it. Google won’t be far behind either – we’ll also see tablets running Jelly Bean (Android 5) and Ice Cream Sandwich (Android 4).

4. Advanced 4G Networks

2012 will see 4G networks whose speed which put home broadband connections to shame. AT&T and Sprint, whose LTE 4G phones by Nokia (Nokia Ace, otherwise called the Lumia 900) may jolly well be the answer to the latest Windows phones. We’ll see how it goes between LTE and Android and Windows 8 phones.

5. Mobiles Rival Desktop Computers

After 2012, if you own a good tablet or a great smartphone, you might not even need a computer. Powerful mobile chipsets are coming up, ones that are watchful of battery life. If we saw dual-core chipsets last year such as Nvidia’s Tegra 2, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon processor and Apple’s A5 chip, this year brings in quad-core chipsets. These new chipsets give mobiles power that equals that of desktops.

6. Cloud-Based Technology Comes Into Homes

Cloud-based technology is not just for tech companies and their high-end software solutions anymore. The technology allows users to connect home and mobile devices with various media options, such as cloud-based music, gaming and much more. This makes the media platform independent. For example, you can play a game on your smartphone while traveling and continue to play it on Facebook when home on your computer and then play the same thing on TV.

 7. Cars Go The Sci-Fi Movie Way

Many car manufacturers are adding communication and media technology to their vehicles, such as mobile applications. These turn car dashboards into full-fledged computers. Mercedes-Benz, GM, Ford, and Audi will demonstrate some of these technologies at this year’s CES.  With this technology, you’ll be able to interact with other cars, pedestrians and traffic lights while driving. You can also synch your music and schedule from home and plan routes using MapQuest.

8. Mobile Commerce Using Near Field Communication

The near field communication technology for mobile phones transform your smartphone into a digital wallet. Stores can preload your phone with store credit and you can just buy whatever you want without taking out your credit cards. GPS is used to alert people with regard to promotions nearby, and mobile apps are used to help people redeem coupons without printing them out. The Google Wallet application turns your smartphone into a credit card, plus loyalty points manager.

9. Increasing Emphasis On Mobile Social Gaming

Facebook’s mobile apps have taken mobile gaming to another level, and the fast new tablets are replacing gaming consoles. Casual gaming is further enhanced by cloud media services, which make it possible for a person to enjoy casual mobile social gaming on multiple devices. For the casual gamer, accessing fast and great quality games on handheld devices, plus the ability to connect with large user bases are the ticket. Google + and Zynga going public have only taken casual social gaming to a higher level.

10. Internet-Based Live TV

Several major international TV networks are cooking up internet-based TV using iWanTV services. 2012 might see a decline in cable TV as more and more people choose to catch TV programming on their computers and handhelds, while on the go. All the top streaming channels will get a growth boost out of this, such as Bloomberg TV, YouTube Live and so on.

Buying a new home computer is a big purchase that you can get really worked up about. If you do your research you should be well-prepared to look at all of the options available to you. There are a multitude of factors to consider, such as how much you are willing to spend, the technical specifications you require, and whether to buy a factory built or custom model. Although there is a plethora of options available, finding the right PC is not as hard as you think.

When shopping for a new desktop, instead of worrying about technical details, ask yourself what tasks you need your computer to accomplish. If you only need it for everyday tasks, such as checking your email, word processing, and browsing the internet, you’ll be happy to know that there are plenty of cheaper options on the market. Budget PCs, such as Dell’s Inspiron series, fall into the $300-$500 price range.

If you’re looking for a PC that plays movies, streams music, allows you to watch TV, and runs some games, you’ll probably need something a bit more powerful than a budget computer. The next step up is the entertainment PC. They usually have a bigger hard drive that allows you to store video files. In order to optimize your experience you’ll probably want at least a 20-inch monitor. Make sure to invest in accessories such as speakers, but you still won’t need a powerful graphics card.

For those who need to run high end applications like the Adobe Suite, you may need to invest in a performance PC. These computers offer faster processors, large amounts of RAM, and a fast but not necessarily large hard drive. Dell desktop computers are designed to fit these needs, most notably their XPS series. A performance PC will likely run you at least $700, more if you purchase upgrades.

The final computer type is for people who play high-end games and is known as a gaming PC. They are the most expensive computers since they require a powerful graphics and sound card, lots of memory, a good processor, and a big screen. They offer the best specifications on the market but will easily run $1200 or more. Alienware offers excellent, top of the line gaming computers.

Shopping for a PC becomes less daunting when you are able to categorize your needs into one of the four main types of personal computer. With this knowledge in hand, shopping for your next computer should be a breeze.
