12 Practical Uses of GPS for Everyday People
GPS or Global Positioning Systems is a term that most commonly conjures up image of vehicle navigation
systems,space-age satellite technology,and interactive maps for outdoors-types and sportsmen.But the
reality is that there are far more applications of Global Positioning Systems beyond GPS vehicle tracking
or map navigation that everyday people like us can benefit from.
1. Know where your children are using services from companies like u Locate Communications.
2. Keep track of elderly members of your family,so that they don't wander off alone.
3. Plan a road trip around interesting points of interests,landmarks,campsites,diners,etc, and hear fewer
"Are we there yets?"-and of course get the most out of that expensive gas.
4. Get emergency road side assitance at a touch of a button from your vehicle,so you can get help exactly
where and when you need it.
5. Keep a visual journal and bookmark collection of your favorite hot spots,sceneries and point of interests.
6. Find lost pets easily collars with built-in GPS, better than running around in your pajamas hollering like
a maniac.

Copying XBIOX Games
There really is no shortcut to copying XBOX games.In fact,this mightily complicated process and has stumped some really techie people.This is evident with the prevalence of the question on copying XBOX games in Internet message boards and tech chat rooms.But why does one need to be going about there and copying XBOX games? Is this not legal?
One is to buy and instal a MOD-chip.This will allow your console to play XBOX games that you have copied as well as play imported games from other countries with the perfect sound video with no problem at all.While it may seem that all you have to do is purchase a MOD-Chip and the voila, you have another think coming.There are actually a lot of things you should consider when buying a MOD-Chip.Most recommend the Divineo Modchips,which are purported to be really reliable.Some of the popular brands are theXecuter2and 3,Xenium,Smart XX,X-bit.
Another way in copying and using XBOX games is to change the BIOS of the XBOX so that it will no longer read the requirement of digital -signed software.This is basically reprogramming the whole BIOS.

Gaming Laptops- Essential Features Too consider When Buying
The Gaming Laptop GPU
This is the heart of gaming laptop computer.
The GPU- Graphic processing unit- is the component that will make or break your gaming experience.If your
GPU isn't up to snuff,your games won't be able to run.
Without getting into specific models since they change all time,the key is that the graphic card not share resources with the computer.
A gaming laptop video card must have its own memory on the board. Generally speaking,standard off-the-shelf laptops will not have feature. The two current makers of laptop video cards are nVIDIA and ATI.
Without the Screen ,You Don't Have Much
What good is a gaming laptop without a screen that can actually render your games?
Now certainly, you can connect an external monitor ,but if you can't actually play on your gaming laptop without that external monitor,then your laptop isn't all that mobile.
While the technology and terminology for LCD's (liquid crystal displays) could take up an entire article in itself,there are a few key points to keep in mind when choosing aspect ratio,rise and fall time,constrast, viewing angle and size.
The RAM- What Type and How Much?
The CPU - Not Just Mobile Technology
The CPU's found in many custom gaming laptops are identical to those found in desktops.These chips require a great deal of cooling power,which in turn can make your laptop louder than light weight,low power ultra portables.
The Gaming Laptop Hard Drive
This is the Final component to consider when building a gaming laptop.Laptop hard drives come in variety of speeds and capacities ranging from 4200 to 7200 RPMS and 40 to over 100 GB
