Are you in the market for a new computer, but whenever you look in the sale paper, you really only look at the price and completely disregard all the specs, because it looks like gibberish to you? Well, don’t worry about it, because The Tech Bros are here to help, and translate it into plain English. I’ve decided to start a new series, and take it word by word and explain what everything means and what you really need for your personal uses. To starts the series off, I’m obviously starting with discussing how much RAM you really need .
First of all, before you can figure out how much RAM is right for your needs, you must first know what it is. RAM is short for Random Access Memory, and it is basically how much memory your computer has. Many people get confused and think that this is how much storage space you have, which is wrong. You’re computer’s memory has nothing to do with storage space. That is a completely different piece of hardware that will be explained later on in the series. Read the rest of this entry »

Since my post on 419 scams, I had a friend that forgot I can look up IP addresses, and left me a comment on that post. I didn’t approve it, but I decided to post it here on a new page. Basically the comment was exactly what a 419 scam looks like when it’s sent through the email. I laughed a little bit, because it was a nicely done prank on me, but then I thought of it as a good opportunity to post it, so that my readers can see what a 419 email looks like. The following is the exact quote from the comment left on the post. Read the rest of this entry »

Since Apple officially announced their development of the Third Generation iPhone (3g iPhone) earlier this year, there has been a lot of speculation surrounding this most recent release. The release date for the new iPhone has been set for July 11. The new iPhone has improved it’s features with specs like, faster internet browsing, work email, and a whole GPS system in the palm of your hand. To my surprise, the 3g iPhone, has also come out with a new price tag of only $199 (as opposed to the $600 price tag of the original iPhone). If you’ve been looking for an iPhone, then you’ll want to get to an Apple store early, because they are expected to sell out on the day of release.
What more could you really want? A brand new iPhone with awesome new specs at only a fraction of the price of the original. Now all we need is for Apple to expand to more mobile services providers.

419 scams are on the rise in today’s society, and I’ve decided to go ahead and write this article in hopes to inform individuals so that you won’t become just another statistic.
Have you ever gotten an email from someone that claimed to be ill, and needed help financially? Have you ever gotten an email from someone telling you that they had inherited a million dollars, but they couldn’t get to it because they needed money for some sort of fees? Have you ever met someone on a personals/dating site that asked you to send them money via Western Union? These are common cases of 419 scams. No matter what story line they give you, the end result will pretty much contain something along the lines of them needing you to send them money, and, in return, you will get a large payout from it. These scammers make off with hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, but the sad part is that it’s almost impossible to catch them.
The name "419" originated from a relevant section of the Criminal Code Of Nigeria, because a large majority of these scam emails are sent from internet cafes in Nigeria. Recently, scammers have expanded the areas that they use to send the emails to regions such as: Spain, England, Russia, and Europe. Although the emails are received in the U.S., scammers find that it is too risky to send the emails from the U.S., because it can be tracked back to them.
Innocent Americans are becoming victims to these scams, and one purpose of this blog is to keep you safe in today’s rapid growing IT industry. I hope that you not only, learn from this article, and ones like this, but that you also share the knowledge with other people that you know, so that they too can receive the knowledge and know how to stay safe in today’s technologically advanced world.
