I invented unique additional part for laptop computer. It can be usefully, new improvement for new etc computers.
To what company do I need to contact with, thank you.

Before you contact ANYone make sure that you have a patent on your invention otherwise you might find your idea is stolen and you get no credit (or money) for it!

I got some ram sticks, hard drives, modems and other computer components with circuit boards. What’s the best way to store them and transfer them from one place to another without screwing them up? Is a plastic bag ok? Cardboard boxes? Roll it up in a paper towel? Thanks in advance!

Put the components into anti-static bags and fille the boxes with popcorn foam.

I am looking for my first laptop. Which is a better laptop PC or Mac. What is the difference between the two? I am getting it for school but i will also being using it for fun.

I a film and video guy so I will always say Mac but I am going to be fair when answering this question. Both Mac and PCs have their negatives and positives. Macs have the best operating system (OS) meaning that it is safe and has a lot of power. It is very hard for a virus or hacker to get into your Mac. Macs are also a lot faster than PCs. Everything is faster on a Mac. Even the initial startup is faster. It seems like with a PC, you have time to order a pizza when you start it up. I have heard rumors that Adobe is creating an office suite exclusive to Macs. Need I say more? Now for the negatives. Macs are very expensive. To get the real experience of the power Macs offer, you should spend at least $2500-$3000. Don’t let these prices scare you away. You can spend less than $2000 and still be greatly impressed by a Mac. I spent just over $8000 on my Mac Pro desktop. I have a standard monitor and a 30" HD monitor hooked up to my Mac for editing video and film. If that is not an example of the power Macs offer, I don’t know what is. For beginners, Macs could be a little difficult.

Now for PCs. I also have a PC that I use for simple things like answering this question. All PCs run on Microsoft. Microsoft is not as evil as people make it out to be, unless you plan on running on Windows Vista. If you choose to get a PC, try to get Windows XP. Vista is still new and has problems. PCs are more office appropriate . They are good for data processing and other office tasks. You can get PCs that have a lot of power but it doesn’t compare to Macs. PCs are also a lot cheaper than Macs. You can get a good PC for less that $2000. PCs are more likely to lock up when you are trying to complete tasks that require power such as photo editing, graphic design, film/video editing, etc. Windows OS also has Microsoft Office. Office is an amazing office suite.

In all honesty, I would get a Mac. For what I do, there is not a PC in the world powerful enough to complete the tasks that I complete. I noticed that you are getting a laptop to take to school. Macs are very popular amongst students. If you need a office suite now, Macs can run Microsoft Office. There is a special edition for Macs. Don’t get a Mac Book Air. They look cool, but they don’t have much storage space on the hard drive. I have included links to where you can configure a Mac Book and a Mac Book Pro. Take a look. I hope this helps. If you choose to get a Mac, great! If you need help choosing the appropriate configurations to get the best performance out of your Mac, please drop me an e-mail and I will be happy to help you select the appropriate hardware.

If an online PC retailer is offering a great deal on a refurbished PC, with the following terms (listed below), would it generally safe to consider purchasing a refurbished PC from them?

–satisfaction guaranteed, 30-day return policy
–BBB-certified and CNET-Certified Store
–All original accessories and software discs included

The biggest thing you should understand – is that it’s not NEW! There will be scratches – and/or other discrepancies. So, before you order – please don’t expect or think it’s (new) – in any way!

With that said – their promise to you – is a working computer in good condition. This you will get with the BBB Certified and CNET Store.

If your cost is somewhere up to around $400 to $500 – you might want to consider a new computer.

I would like to stream my desktop AND THE SOUND FROM MY DESKTOP to the internet on a Windows 7 64 bit system. I want to avoid just routing the headphone jack into the mic jack, and I would like the screencap to be decent enough to watch a movie on it. Any suggestions?

I recommend 1AVStreamer. Quality of video and sound can go as high as your bandwidth can stand. And it is easy to setup.

Create a game for a handheld device that you can show to the owners of the big gaming companies (Electronic Arts, etc). That is the one thing that will impress them. They have plenty of people who want to play the games. They need someone to invent the games..

My laptop does not have a any number keys except for the ones on top of the letters and the mouse is in the middle of the small keyboard. So it is quite difficult to play some PC games.

if your laptop has what I call a "nubbin" (the mouse dot thingy in the keyboard) odds are it is old and wont play much (not even the Halo beta)…go for Red alert 2 and the original Sims and other things around that era cos it wont be capable of much else

Is it possible to bring 2 laptops?

I have frequently brought two laptops with me as carry on luggage. I put both of them in the same bag – no problem.

What sort of cable to i need to transfer data between 2 desktops?

Like is it called a network cable? Or an ethereal net cable or something?

Thanks

an ethernet cable is only half right. you need a crossover ethernet cable. the normal ethernet cable (such as a patch, or straight through) is meant to go from your computer to a router or hub, not to another computer. a crossover cable is meant to go from your computer to comptuer, or router to router. a straight through cable if your computer has an auto-mdx feature, which some of the new computers have, auto-mdx basically detects what the computer is connected to, and pretends the cable is a straight thru or crossover as it sees fit.

oh the suggestion about the usb cable will also work, ive never used those but i’ve heard they work too.

I have an HP Pavilion Desktop PC and I want to connect it to my Sony Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound receiver. How can I do this while receiving the full 5.1 surround sound effect? Thanks in advance.

The most important piece of information is the type of sound card. Some sound cards have optical or coax connectors. Some are stereo only. Some have proprietary adapters for surround sound audio.
