Nerd Power! Nerdalize Uses Servers to Heat Homes

According to energy studies, as much as 1.5 percent of all the electricity used globally goes to power and cool data centers. If you’ve ever been in a room full of servers on a hot summer day, you know they can generate a lot of heat. Not only is this energy that is lost, it requires additional energy to cool those servers down so they don’t overheat. Not to worry, the tech nerds at Nerdalize Radiator UK are on the case with free heat and data storage options combined in one device.

With 3D Printing Technology It Just Got Safer to be a Rat

Animal dissection can make one squeamish to say the least. Even for the heartier human specimens among us, cutting into the bone, tissue and organs of tiny, fury animals is enough to put us off our supper. The chemicals alone can get our guts churning. Consider our vegetarian and vegan friends who are morally opposed to eating animals, much less slicing them up with sharp surgical tools. Solving this problem is just another example of how the latest advances in technology can be used to solve problems. Whether you think cutting up critter cadavers is an ethically challenged proposition, or you believe it necessary for the advancement of science, it is science itself that may eliminate this nasty need altogether.

Microsoft to End Support for Outdated Browsers

Are you still stuck in the past using an outdated browser? If you are stubbornly, or perhaps lazily. putting off updating to the latest browser, you are missing out. Not only are you most likely dealing with poor performance issues, but you’re also putting your computer and your data at risk to security breaches. Here’s another incentive to update your browser to the current version: starting in January of next year Microsoft will end support for outdated browsers. That includes support for Internet Explorer versions 8, 9 and 10. This news means it is finally time to upgrade, and what better way to start the new year than with increased speed and security. Without this upgrade to the latest supported operating system, users will no longer be able to receive the technical support they need. Important security updates will also not be available.

A PC in Your Pocket: Windows 10 Phone Arrives Soon

If you’ve been following this blog at all in the past year, then you know that here at AGT Computers, Ltd., we have been big cheerleaders for the new Windows 10 operating system. We love the new Edge browser which allows users to quickly navigate the web and make notes directly onto web pages and share with friends. We love the new personal assistant Cortana which lets users highlight web text and ask for more information. Microsoft wasn’t quite done with new innovations with the system for 2015, however, and the company will soon be rolling out Window 10 phones, hopefully starting next month. With the upcoming Windows 10 phone a new adapter will be available which will turn that smart phone into a working computer. Microsoft likes to refer to their new phone as a PC in your pocket.

When is the Right Time to Move to a Domain-based Network?

A successful business is a growing business. As a company expands it begins to outgrow its current structure. This could mean that more space is needed for new employees, office equipment or inventory. It can also mean that your current computer network can no longer meet the demands of your workforce and workflow. When this happens it’s time to consider moving from a workgroup to a domain-based network.

Apple vs Microsoft

It seems like it's always been Apple vs Microsoft, but this ongoing battle between PCs and Macs has ultimately benefited all parties. Apple, Microsoft, and faithful consumers of both iconic computer companies, have come out winners in this long war of attrition. Healthy competition makes companies work harder to win the hearts and minds (and pounds) of the public. The long back and forth friction between these rival computer giants, as well as between their devoted followers, has allowed consumers to enjoy the best of both worlds.

Office 2016 for Mac is Out Now!

Good news for both Mac users, Office 2016 for Mac is out now. We all know there are Mac people and PC people, and even though they won’t admit it, some of them are jealous of the better features of the other. For a long time Mac users could not get easy access to great Microsoft Office software. This was not only frustrating for them, it prevented some people from doing freelance work that required the use of programs like Excel or PowerPoint. We’ve come a long way down the road towards complete integration since then, and now we are about to take another giant step forward. The release of Office 2016 for Mac is the leap that will propel our faithful Mac friends towards a future with Microsoft Office. Office 2016 for Mac is currently available in nearly 150 countries across the globe. That includes 16 different languages and so far the response has been positive.
