A common piece of software that is often overlooked is the software driver. These drivers are designed to allow an external piece of hardware, such as a printer, to integrate with the main computer unit. A driver facilitates communication between the software application that needs to use a device and the device itself. It can be thought of as a bridge that closes the gap between applications and external hardware devices.

When a computer software program calls for a certain function of the device, this invokes a specific routine in the driver which then issues the proper command to the device. The device then sends the requested data back to the driver, which in turn communicates that back to the application.

Not all of us are expected to be complete knowledge holders when it comes to the selection of a desktop computer with a bewildering array of choices at our disposal. Before a prospective buyer goes out for shopping for the latest desktop computers, he is required to decide the reasons of usage. Most of us use a computer to check and send e-mails, perform word processing or browse the Web. If your needs are restricted to these things, try your hand on a simple computer. On the other hand, if you are expected to make extensive use of the computers for transfer of database or editing video files, then you must look for a high-end computer. If gaming is your priority then a multimedia supportive high-end desktop computer is an excellent option for you.

The gradual slowdown in performance speed is a common problem that Windows based computers tend to have. The main culprit in this “aging” is the clutter that tends to build up over time as Windows is used dynamically (programs added and removed, settings changed, etc.)

It’s puzzling since Windows is supposed to be used “dynamically,” and yet this is what seems to cause the most problems.

One big area that the buildup of temporary and obsolete files and folders is the Windows registry. This can cause Windows to bog down as it tries to make sense of these entries.

How about a mind-reading wheelchair? Well almost, the technology exists now and it is just a matter of lowering the costs with mass production and economies of scale. How so you ask? Well simple really, you see there has been some special forces transfer technology that is used by the military and now SWAT Teams. The technology allows a small micro device to read signals from the brain to the voice box. When you are thinking something, before you say it, your vocal cords vibrate. This concept has been getting a bit of chat at Slashdot:

Its memory has been stocked with a vast amount of information about chess moves and step-by-step instructions that enable it to “think” in a logical fashion. In other words, as far as chess playing is concerned, Hitech is an expert. And that is precisely what computer scientists call devices such as Hitech—expert systems.

Since I like ending on a high note, (like George Costanza from Seinfeld) I will begin with the losers. The loser had to be Nintendo hands down. With the exception of Mario Galaxy, there was no original content. There were 2 new peripherals: zapper and Wii fit. That’s it. No new innovative games were displayed. It was a shameless self-promotion.

The entire press conference consisted of praising the Wii. That’s a shame (another Seinfeld reference for you Seinfeld fanatics). Nintendo merely accentuated what they achieved; however, they did not say what they will accomplish. Microsoft was neither a winner or a loser; there were in between.
