Cartoon Mayhem
Cartoon characters have attracted kids ever since they were introduced, from the silent films of Walt Disney featuring the mouse we all know today ad Mickey, to today’s almost realistic productions that involve some nifty technology. Who can forget the transformers series, the changing robots from another planet who were sent to earth, one group to protect, one group to dominate. Most of today’s video games hailed from cartoon characters and the many game developers who manage to succeed study the popularity of such famous cartoon characters. From the recent initial release of the Transformers film to the up coming sequel which features a mix of reality and computer graphics that has actually stemmed from the video game industry.
The motion capture technology used on today’s movies would not be possible if it were not fot he many video games that employed the said innovation. Die hard fan of the cartoons/movie, why not sport the colors of the Decepticons or the Autobots, their sworn enemies who fight to protect the humans from their treachery and viciousness. Get hold of some of the world’s best transformer t-shirts to show your allegiance to the high-tech robot legion that has captivated many an audience since they graced the millions of TV screens across the globe.

Yep, it can happen for motherboards have an onboard battery installed that allows you to keep the settings you make in the BIOS (Basic Input/Output System). and it also keeps the internal clock running. This happens to be vital for if it were not for this battery, you’d have to re-set each and every option in the bios every time you boot-up. The battery is low power and a standard 3 volt button cell (shaped like a coin). It is the major reason for some of the most bizarre behavior of personal computers such as constant re-boot and processor setting errors each time you turn it on. The battery might be small but the power needed to keep those settings is so small, it needs replacement only every other year or so(if you put in a fresh battery). After your OS loads, the clock and date settings are synchronized with global time sources making it software based updating it as necessary.

There was a time when the only problems we got from hackers(actually programmers themselves) were nuisance programs that disturbed the natural peace and silence in offices and homes.
Garbled graphics displays, ruined documents, and randomly written characters all over the hard disk along with messages as to the makers of these simple pieces of code. Today’s hackers are so complicated that they have the ability to do their work unknown even to the person they are targeting. Conspiracy theories abound that these people may have been intelligence people gone bad, out for a buck for the skills they posses brings about memories of these types of attacks. Stock markets, offices and other vital installations (military) are often subject to attack(the Pentagon gets a few thousand attacks each and every day). No wonder programs had to be specifically designed to battle them, called intrusion prevention systems that aims to prevent those acts from ever entering networks and other resources deemed as vital for daily life.
