PPS, or PowerPoint, files are files that are created using either PowerPoint or a similar program. PowerPoint is a program that ships with Microsoft Office and allows users to create fully-functional presentations and slideshows for use in schools, meetings, and lectures. While PowerPoint itself is a great program, some users do not appreciate the Microsoft Office layout or the price tag that accompanies it. For these reasons, a large number of similar programs have been introduced to the market since the release of PowerPoint that provide either the same or Read More

A tornado occurs when two different air masses meet, most often a high pressure air mass and a low pressure air mass. The cool air meets with hot, moist tropical air and this results in strong thunder storms forming. For this is to occur, there needs to be the hotter air in the lower atmosphere and the cooler air in the upper atmosphere. The place where these two air masses meet is known as the dry line. It’s at the dry line that most tornadoes are formed because the two Read More

Internal Error 2753 refers to a problem associated with Windows Installer that prevents programs from being installed on a computer. Internal Error 2753 may be displayed through a number of programs and can cause the user a great amount of distress when trying to install a new software. While Internal Error 2753 can be difficult to repair, causing many users to reinstall their entire operating system, it can be fixed via the Windows DOS Command Prompt. What is Windows Installer? Windows Installer is a software that Windows provides. It is Read More

MOM.exe is a monitoring program for the Catalyst Control Center that ATI Technologies created. It monitors ATI video card graphics use and is essential for running certain functions of the video card’s graphics driver. MOM.exe is included with all drivers and updates for version 7.2 and newer of the Catalyst Control Center and generally runs in the computer’s background. While MOM.exe may display error messages, it is not a part of the Windows Registry, can be easily removed, and does not pose any threat to computers.   Spyware While MOM.exe Read More

A WLAN is a sort of Local Area Network (LAN) that implements high frequency radio waves instead of wires to communicate and transmit data. It is a supple data communication method put into practice as an expansion to or as a substitute for, a typical wired LAN. An Access Point joins wired and wireless networks collectively and facilitates the transmission of data between wireless consumers and the wired network. Implementing several access points enhances overall system capability and scope. Wireless consumers can wander between different access points without disconnecting, like Read More

CMOS (Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor) is a type of technology that is used to construct integrated circuits. These semiconductors use both positive polarity (PMOS) and negative polarity (NMOS) circuits. This is beneficial because only one of the circuit types is on at any given time. This results in less power being needed in comparison to chips that have only one type of transistor. Since they rely on less power, CMOS chips have become incredibly attractive when building portable computers or other devices that require longer battery life. However, even personal computers Read More

Computer programs or applications commonly have one or more processes that are executing to support the program. These processes are instances of the running application and may have one or many Operating System threads dedicated to receive computer resources. Each program thread may execute any portion of the process code depending on the program design. Unfortunately, some programs will have a process hang or freeze and will not allow the end user to kill the process from the Windows Task Manager. If you attempt to close a process by selecting Read More

Laser skin tightening is done through the use of lasers to tighten the old and “loose” skin to give the appearance of youthful skin. After the technology was changed in the early 1990s from the ablative technology to the non-ablative technology, the risk and the recovery times from the treatments have greatly lessened. Especially the laser skin tightening technology has advanced with the change from the use of radiofrequency to the infrared frequency and an increase in the penetration depth, allowing a greater degree of skin tightening. Laser Skin Tightening Read More

HSV (Hue, Saturation and Value) – defines a type of color space. It is similar to the modern RGB and CMYK models. The HSV color space has three components: hue, saturation and value. ‘Value’ is sometimes substituted with ‘brightness’ and then it is known as HSB. The HSV model was created by Alvy Ray Smith in 1978. HSV is also known as the hex-cone color model. Hue In HSV, hue represents color. In this model, hue is an angle from 0 degrees to 360 degrees. Angle Color 0-60 Red 60-120 Read More

One way that a small business that requires a file server can save thousands of dollars per year is to set up a Linux file server. Linux is an open source software platform that, in many ways, is just as good as or better than other types of platforms including Microsoft and Sun. Small businesses and enterprises that require a file server can save immensely on the costs related to maintenance, support, licensing fees, and application costs associated with commercial servers. Switching to an open source file server such as Read More
