Amadeus Consulting Wants to Know: What Makes a Smartphone Smart?

Posted on 4th December 2011 in Communication

Article by Todd McMurtrey

Nokia sent out a bit of developer news a few weeks ago that caught our attention: ‘Introducing the Nokia C7 Astound, a Symbian Smartphone for the U.S. Market.’ This confused us for a few reasons. First, we had previously reported in February that Symbian was a dead OS and mobile application development platform. This is primarily due to its partnership with Microsoft and utilizing Windows Phone 7® (and the mobile app development platform) as its primary force in the Smartphone game.

Second, there has been quite the debate in the developer community about Symbian being a ‘Smart’ platform or not. This made us want to dig on the issue a little deeper and find out: What actually makes a smartphone ‘Smart?’ Is it simply a marketing term or is there a technical line between ‘Smartphone’ and ‘Average Phone’ (or as we like to call them, ‘Mediocre Phones’).

Let’s delve into the issue a bit.

Brief History of Time: Smartphones Edition

Though our friend Steve Jobs and Apple® really catapulted the smartphone and application development phenomena we now know, it was really built on a framework of other products from many companies. Everybody remembers Palm Pilots right? How long ago they seem. According to the Smartphone wiki, Palm®, Symbian, BlackBerry® and Windows Phones were truly the first smartphones available. It’s likely that in the late 90’s technology companies realized they could merge the technology from PDA’s and regular cellular telephones to create a product that was even better and more functional for business users.  Read more...

Concise Computer Consulting of Clarkston says Computer Virus Repair is the only Answer to Remove Harmful Software: Virus, Spyware & Pop-ups

Posted on 6th December 2010 in Computer

Viruses:

Viruses – A virus is a small piece of software that replicates itself. A virus might attach itself to a program such as a spreadsheet program. Each time the spreadsheet program runs, the virus runs, too, and it has the chance to reproduce (by attaching to other programs) or wreak havoc. E-mail viruses – An e-mail virus moves around in e-mail messages, and usually replicates itself by automatically mailing itself to dozens of people in the victim’s e-mail address book. Worms – A worm is a small piece of software that uses computer networks and security holes to replicate itself. A copy of the worm scans the network for another machine that has a specific security hole. It copies itself to the new machine using the security hole, and then starts replicating from there, as well. Trojan horses – A Trojan horse is simply a computer program. The program claims to do one thing (it may claim to be a game, or a “free” piece of software) but instead does damage when you run it (it may erase your hard disk). Trojan horses have no way to replicate automatically. They are called Trojan horses because they are sometimes disguised as normal computer programs.

Concise Computer Consulting of Farmington Hills Saves Their Clients from Identity Theft with On Site Computer Repair

Posted on 3rd December 2010 in Computer

Jeff Atto, Business Manager for Concise, noticed the uptick rate of illegal virus and malware incidents in the summer months of June and July.  He explained the unusual activity that included:

Vulnerabilities in the Microsoft Windows Operating System Opening e-mails from suspicious and unknown sources with attachments Visiting websites which claim to offer “free” software, music or video downloads File sharing websites

Concise was created to help small businesses with various technological needs such as onsite computer repair, offsite data protection, disaster recovery solutions, computer repair training, and data backup services.  Lately, ConcisePC has been responding to client demand for anti-virus and anti-spyware protection.

The damage to a business with a compromised informational technology system is catastrophic.  With bank accounts larger than an individual’s, a small business has the responsibility of protecting the critical personal information of its customers and vendors.  The result comes in the form of law suits, credit fraud and quite possibly the demise of the business itself.

Jeff Atto and the entire staff at Concise advise and educate their clients to be proactive to avoid a scenario mentioned above.  “There are plenty of actions that a client can choose,” offered Jeff.  “These actions are covered by our services that cost nothing compared to the devastation of a viral invasion or an illegal computer hack job.”
