</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>An MP3 is a digital audio  file compressed with a standard defined by the Motion Pictures Experts  Group (MPEG).  MPEG was formed to develop techniques for dealing with  digital video;  since most video also contains audio, MP3 was developed  as an audio  extension of that work. Officially known as "MPEG-1, Layer  3", MP3 is a lossy compression algorithm that uses psycho acoustic  modeling to reduce the size of audio files by up to 90%.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Psycho acoustics  takes  advantage of deficiencies in the human hearing system to throw  away  digital bits corresponding to sounds that cannot be heard. The  human  ear cannot hear soft sounds in the presence of loud sounds having a   similar frequency; for example, a voice conversation becomes inaudible   when a jet flies low overhead. This effect is known as auditory masking,   and done correctly the discarded sounds will not be missed.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>MP3  is a lossy algorithm  in the sense that the original bits cannot be  recreated from the  compressed bits. In terms of hearing, however, MP3 is  loss less because  the human ear cannot distinguish between a CD  recording and a properly  encoded MP3 version of it. MP3s achieve this  transparency at a bit  rate  of approximately 256 kilobits per second, or roughly one sixth of  the  1.4 megabits per second required by the compact disc format.</b><br />
<br />
<b>MP3s can be recorded at lower bit rates, saving even more space, but   audible differences begin to appear at rates below 128 kilobits per   second. At these lower bit rates, MP3 can use a trick known as joint   stereo to improve quality. Audio generally consists of left and right   audio tracks. Joint stereo combines, whenever possible, the sounds   common to both left and right tracks into one track. Instead of left and   right, it has "common" and "different" channels.</b><br />
<b>   </b><br />
<b>Being an open standard, and therefore available to anyone, has played  a major role in the widespread adoption of the MP3 file format. While  specific implementations such as those by the Fraunhofer Institute may  be protected by patents, there exist numerous open source  implementations. MP3s were originally only playable on computers, but  inexpensive, portable MP3 players such as Apple's iPod have since been  developed.</b></div></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>A 3G card is a  memory chip  that is an essential component of many mobile phones and  provides a  variety of services. With cell phones not only making calls  but also  downloading video, playing music and surfing the Internet, a 3G  card  helps perform those tasks faster and easier. With simple  installation  and improved results, it is no wonder more and more phones  have  utilized this technology. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The term "3G" stands for Third   Generation and refers to the current standards and abilities of  cellular  technology to transmit data. Building upon the first and  second  generation's technology, a 3G mobile  card was first available  in the early 2000s. This technology was  adopted by countless service  providers worldwide and by 2010 was seen as  the most technologically  advanced mobile phone network commercially available. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>A 3G card fits within a 3G  cell phone  just like a battery. The card is much smaller than a cell  phone  battery, usually taking up about a quarter of the space. The card  can be  independently installed to upgrade phones that were not created  with 3G technology. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The 3G card makes its biggest  impact when dealing with multimedia. The 3G technology provides the  proper amount of bandwidth to use a phone's video conferencing  option  with less lag time and less distortion than when a 3G card is  not used.  The memory upgrade provided by this technology allows for  entire books  to be downloaded and read on phones with more speed than is  possible  with 2G technology. This speed and memory also helps users download and  listen to music in less time. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Transactions also benefit from 3G  card technology on mobile phones. The 3G data card allows for buying  items when using the phone's online functions. E-commerce  transactions  online can be completed using the phone, but also in the  emerging  technology of using a phone at a point of purchase to buy goods  or  services. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Gaming also gets a serious boost  when 3G technology is used in a  mobile device. Games where multiple  computing systems are communicating  in real time normally experience a  lag, but 3G cards help eliminate this  problem. Online competitions,  especially multi player ones such as poker  or role playing games such  as World of Warcraft, are smoother and  faster with this technology.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>The phone itself also performs  better using this technology. A mobile  phone's address book can more  than double with the addition of a 3G  card's memory. The card also  allows for clearer calls and better  reception with its added strength.   </b></div></div>

<div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Open source is a philosophy  which suggests that the source code  behind something should be freely  available to the public. The  principle originated in the software  industry in the late 1990s, with  several releases of open source  software  and operating systems, and it has since diffused into other  communities  as well. There are a number of strong arguments for  releasing something  in open source format, whether it be a recording, a  software tool, or  an entire operating system.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>The  main advantage to open  source is that it allows end users to directly  interact with the  source, potentially modifying it to suit their wishes.  This encourages  constant development and innovation, while also  creating a community of  shared information. Many companies which produce  open source products   rely on the innovations of users to expand features and to identify and   fix potential weak points, and these companies actively encourage   modification of their products.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>There are varying levels of  open  source. In some cases, for example, an open source release may  have  certain restrictions, in which case some people prefer the term  “shared  source,” or “shared commons.” For example, someone may release a   recording in open source format, but ask people not to profit from  their  retooling of the album. Many advocates of the open source  philosophy  prefer truly open source, allowing people to do whatever  they want with  the source code and the end product.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Some people mistakenly believe  that all open source material is also  automatically free. This is not,  in fact, the case. Several companies  manufacture open source products  which require people to pay for them,  with the fees supporting  development of new products and additional  features. It is also common  to see shared source licenses on things  which people pay for. Apple  Computer, for example, releases some of its  technology under open  source licenses.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Open Source has its critics,  especially in the intellectual property community. Most of these critics  argue that for open source development  and distribution to really  work, a strong central organizer is needed,  and it is not unreasonable  for major developers to expect compensations  for their work on open  source projects. When material is truly open  source, however, it is  challenging to figure out how to structure such  compensations, and this  often leads to tangled issues with shared  licenses and restrictions  which some people find chafing.</b></div></div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Satellite  TV is a  broadcasting service which allows subscribers to receive  television  signals through a dish-shaped receiver unit.  These signals  are  originally uploaded to a communications satellite  that is in a fixed  orbit above the earth, then electronically scrambled  to prevent  unauthorized downloading.  Those who pay a subscription fee  for  satellite TV service are issued both the receiving dish and a   descrambler.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>  The actual  tuning information is fed into the television  through a cable, much  like the earth-bound cable television services in  competition with  satellite TV providers. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><br />
</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Satellite TV solves many   of the problems associated with earlier television broadcasting methods.    Television stations originally broadcast their signals in two  specific  radio wave bands- VHF (very high frequency) and UHF   (ultra-high frequency).  Aerial antennas placed on roofs or attached to   the television itself would receive as much of these radio wave   transmissions as possible, but the results could be barely watchable   depending on the strength of the signal, the terrain between the station   and the television set, and the atmospheric conditions.  Cable   television systems could provide a better television signal, but this   involved stringing miles of insulated wire and creating subscription   services.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Satellite TV provides a strong  digital signal to subscribers'  television sets and is almost  completely wireless.  Earlier satellite TV  systems used very large dish  receivers in order to focus the distant  signals onto a powered  antenna.  Since different television channels  were located on different  communication satellites, these dishes would  have to physically turn  to predetermined points in the sky in order to  receive the proper  signals.  Because regulation of these early dishes  was not uniform,  illegal electronic descramblers became a lucrative  underground market.   Stiffer penalties for unauthorized descramblers  paved the way for  legitimate satellite TV subscription services.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Modern satellite TV services have  streamlined the process.  A single  communication satellite now remains  in a steady orbit above the Earth,  allowing all subscribers to mount a  much smaller dish receiver at a  fixed point.  Technicians from the  satellite TV provider may install the  dish or owners can determine the  proper receiving angle and do it  themselves.  Instead of scanning  various satellites for different  channels, modern satellite television  providers license the use of  popular cable or broadcast channels.  Much  like a cable system, the  tuner descrambles selected programs sent out  on a specific frequency.   This allows satellite providers the option of  pay-per-view movie rentals  or the blocking of adult-oriented or  premium movie channels.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Satellite TV services are especially  popular in rural areas with poor  broadcast reception and/or no cable  service.  Purchase of a receiving  dish is generally limited to  homeowners, not renters.  Satellite dishes  must have a clear line of  sight to the satellite itself for best  reception.  Some homeowners  discover that a grove of trees or  mountainous terrain can be  problematic.  Critics of satellite TV also  mention reception problems  during heavy rains or snowfall.  Signals  between an earth-bound  receiver and a space-based satellite can be  affected by atmospheric  conditions between them, but other television  services also have  similar drawbacks.  Many customers prefer the  additional channels  available on satellite TV systems and the clarity of  the digital  signals.</b></div></div>

<a href="" name="more"></a><div style="text-align: center;"><b>William Howard Gates III,  better known as Bill Gates, was born on 28  October 1955 in Seattle,  Washington. He is best known as co-founder of  software giant Microsoft™  Corporation, a company he and Paul Allen bootstrapped in 1979. The  enormous success of Microsoft has amassed the entrepreneur  an  astounding fortune, earning him the title of “richest man in the  world”  from 1995 - 2007, according to Forbes Magazine. As of 2007, Bill   Gates’ worth is estimated at $59 billion US Dollars (USD).</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Bill  Gates was born to a  well-to-do family, his father a successful lawyer,  his mother a board  member for First Interstate Bank. Gates has two  siblings, Kristianne  and Libby. Throughout grammar school Gates excelled  in math and  science, and enrolled in Lakeside, an exclusive preparatory  school. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>At Lakeside the young Bill  Gates was exposed to his first computers  in the form of Teletype  terminals networked to a remote server. Use of  the Teletype required  purchasing time blocks from the server. Gates and  his Lakeside friends  were banned from one system after administrators  learned the kids were  exploiting bugs (flaws) in the system to acquire  free time. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Gates quickly developed a  passionate interest in computer operating systems, source code and  computer languages, including BASIC, FORTRAN,  LISP and COBOL. He and  Allen were soon getting work searching for  vulnerabilities in existing  systems and writing proprietary programs.   By age 14 Gates founded a  short-lived venture with Allen that earned  Gates $20,000 USD in the  first year.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>Interested in law, Bill Gates  enrolled in Harvard College in 1973,  but the world would have different  plans for the future software mogul.  Just two years into Harvard Gates  took a leave of absence to work with  Allen writing an operating system  (OS) for what is now considered to be  the prerunner to personal  computers, the Altair 8800. The two young men  formed a partnership they  initially called “Micro-soft,” later  shortening to “Microsoft” to be  trademarked in November 1976.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Perhaps foreshadowing things to  come, the Altair operating system  that Bill Gates and Paul Allen wrote  was widely copied and shared among  computer enthusiasts, prompting  Gates to write an open letter  in February 1976. In his letter Gates  conveyed his distress at having  people use the OS without making  payment, stressing the time and work  that goes into programming and the  inability to provide quality software  without fair compensation.</b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>Four years later in 1980, IBM  approached Gates to provide an  operating system for an upcoming  personal computer line. Gates suggested  86-DOS, an operating system  written by Tim Patterson of Seattle  Computer Products (SCP). Gates  subsequently negotiated with SCP to make  Microsoft the sole licensing  agent of 86-DOS and eventually full owner,  never mentioning the  potential mega-contract with IBM. Microsoft adapted  the OS, renamed it  “PC-DOS” and asked IBM for a one-time fee, retaining  copyright.  When  IBM clones hit the market as Bill Gates predicted they would, every   computer required a copy of Microsoft’s operating system, licensed   directly from Microsoft. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>If MS-DOS opened the door to Bill  Gates’ legendary status in the  computer world, the Windows™ operating  system kicked it wide open. While  MS-DOS was a text-based command-line  OS, Windows revolutionized the  personal computer world, providing an  easy, graphical, point-and-click  interface that made computers  accessible to everyone. The market  exploded from a relatively small  community of computer geeks to the general public, and businesses large  and small. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  </b><br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>The Windows OS created a <i>de facto</i>  monopoly for Bill Gates in  the IBM PC market.  Microsoft frequently  bought out small up-and-coming  companies that were developing popular  software packages, absorbing the  products into the Microsoft line. In  many cases Bill Gates was  criticized for his aggressiveness in forcing  out competition. This came  to a head in the mid 90’s when Microsoft  packaged Internet Explorer with  Windows 95, essentially “pushing” its  browser upon new computer users,  usurping Netscape™’s market share. In  1998 the U.S. Department of  Justice brought charges against Microsoft  in an antitrust case, eventually ending with a ruling against the  software giant. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><b>  In 1994 Bill Gates married Microsoft employee Melinda Ann  French.  They had three children: Jennifer (b. 1996), Rory (b. 1999) and  Phoebe  (b. 2002). Gates has received honorary doctorates from  universities in  the Netherlands, Sweden, Tokyo and from Harvard. In  2000 he and Melinda  founded the <i>Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation</i>,  donating  billions to improve global health care, fight AIDS, improve  educational  opportunities and provide scholarships. Gates also received  an honorary  Knighthood from Queen Elizabeth II in 2005, and was named  one of the  most influential people of the 20th Century by <i>Time Magazine.</i></b></div>
