No matter what the software, it had to be created through programming.  The online and offline terms usually refers to a difference in how a user might access the specific software.  Offline refers to the use of software that is traditional, in that you buy a CD then load it up on your computer.  It is then stored on your PC and ready for you to use anytime directly from your computer.  Any files that are made as a result of using the software will normally be stored on the same computer on within a closed corporate network. 

Online refers to the use of software that you access via Internet connectivity.   The software is not loaded on your PC but rather it is located on a remote server which you are connected to via the Internet.  Most times any data or files you create are also stored on that same remote server so that you can access them from where ever you want via the Internet. 

There are of course pros and cons to each type of offering.  It will all depend on how and where you want to use the specific application.  Many people will have a combination of these types of applications they use every day.  If you need more information on online versus offline software applications, give a call to iNeedTech.com

Have not seen that problem myself where part of the email system works but the other does not.  The functions in Outlook however are separated so that sending is one function and receiving email is another.  You can usually see this on your computer if you click the Send/Receive link.  When you do the computer usually opens a window and displays the status of the operations.  You will see the two different functions.  The first way to approach such a problem is to close and then re-launch the Outlook program.  If that does not work, you will then most likely have to restart your computer.  Both of these approaches cause the Outlook program to confirm and re-establish your specific logins to your email provider.  If you need any other help with emails, just give iNeedTech.com a call.

Yes there are some changes on the horizon for the way Internet addresses are assigned.  Currently you are probably familiar with the IP address on the network which is called IPv4 and that is expressed as four octets in “dotted decimal” notation (for example: 11.053.5.878).  Not surprisingly because of the popularity of the Internet and websites the possible combinations within this networking addressing format will be used up in the not too distant future.   Thus there is new addressing system being deployed called IPv6.  This new format is a 128-bit number that is conventionally expressed using hexadecimal strings (for example: 2001:0db8:582:ae33::29).  This change does require a lot of the network carriers and equipment to be updated to handle the new format.   As a user of the Internet you probably will not even notice the difference because most websites are located using their domain name.  If you would like more information on networking and Internet connectivity just give iNeedTech.com a call.

Actually there have been some recent comments by researchers that many people are just like your Uncle in that they use the same password over and over again for a number of their online programs.  As you might imagine if a hacker was ever able to get a hold of this password and then was able to track some organizations to which a person subscribed, they might find an easy time of trying to attack all the user’s  accounts.  Everyone knows how hard it is to maintain a variety of passwords but you should try to do the best you can in creating different passwords in order to minimize the potential for identity theft.  You also hear the suggestion of changing passwords often.  In fact some programs require you to change your password after a specified period of time.  Some programs have set requirements about the structure of passwords such as including a minimum of certain special characters, letters and numbers.  The other thing that is not a good idea is to carry around a printed copy of any logins, passwords or pin numbers in your purse or wallet.  If you need any assistance with creating strong passwords give iNeedTech.com a call.

Yes, there are a couple of approaches you can take for this problem.  First let’s take a brief look at what causes the red eye effect in people.  It is usually caused during a flash picture because the light is reflecting back to the lens off the eye.  It is said that the red color comes because the reflection is off the retina and what you see is actually the red blood vessels that nourish the eye.  One way to minimize the red eye effect is to have a camera with a red eye reduction feature.  The trick with this feature is that it makes the flash go off twice.  The first flash causes the pupils to contract thus reducing the red eye effect when the second flash and actual picture are captured.  Another option is to move the flash away from the lens of the camera so that the reflection angles away from the lens.  One other way to minimize the effect is to utilize digital photo editing software.  Even the simplest editing software usually comes with a red eye reduction feature that allows you to highlight the small area of the eye or eyes together.  Within this area the red color is minimized and thus the red highlight is diminished.  If you need any help with digital photo taking, editing or printing give the team at iNeedTech.com a call.

OLED stands for Organic Light Emitting Diode.  It converts energy into light and consumes very little power.  It uses conductors which are squeezed between glass layers like a sandwich.  It also does not require backlighting which helps it stay thin.  Sony will soon be releasing the first commercial version of such a product in a Digital TV with an 11-inch screen.   The thinness of the screen, said to be only 3 millimeters thick, will be the big draw but people who have seen it say it does also provide a great picture.  It won’t be cheap as new technology never is when it first hits the market.  Surely it will someday make its way into the computer world, especially into small laptop and ultra mobile computers but it will take some time because of cost and the challenges of manufacturing a new technology.  Have any other technology questions about new or old products, give iNeedTech.com a call.
