Cell phones now are very intelligent that they can connect to the internet. Who would’ve thought that a small device can yield so much power.

But then again, no system is perfect. You should know that your phones can be used to harm you in any possible way. When attackers strike, they will take advantage of your phones and leave you to suffer the consequences. If attackers succeed in sabotaging your cell phones, they can exploit your service. There are others who will lure you to nasty websites and more importantly, there are attackers that can get access to your account and personal information.

The good thing is that you can do something to protect your phones and yourself from these attackers. Here are some practical tips that you can use:

  • Assess security settings: Your cell phones have security settings. It is important that you use it wisely so no attackers can outwit you. For example, when you are not using your Bluetooth, turn it off or disable it. If you turn it on all the time, attackers will simply use it to access any download information.
  • Be cautious when posting email address and numbers: You will be surprised of the innovativeness of the attackers. They will use a software that can peruse websites to get email addresses. They will use these emails to flood spam. If you do not want this, you have to limit the people who have access to your valuable information.
  • Ignore links: If you received links sent in your phones, it is best to ignore those. Those links will lead you to malicious websites. While they may appear legitimate and fine looking, there are websites that mean harm. If you did not ask for it, do not follow it.
  • Do not trust downloads: It is appealing when you see free downloadable games or other software but you have to be cautious. If the site is not legitimate, downloading games or other software will put your cell phones at risk. Attackers may imbed harmful codes. It is best to download games or other software from sites that you trust.

If you make sure that you follow the tips mentioned above, you will be assured that your cell phones (including your PDAs) are protected. If you are fond of putting all information and schedules in your phones, you should think of changing your ways.

Disciplining Your Teenagers

Posted on June 8, 2014 by Editor Posted in Parenting .

Two teens were apprehended on January 08, 2014. They allegedly assaulted and robbed a 78 year old man along the North Bridge Road on January 7, 2014. Comprehensive ground enquiries and CCTV (Closed-circuit Television) footage identified the two suspects. The Commander of the Central Police said that the two teens will be punished because of their criminal actions against the elderly.

Times are changing. Teens now are more stubborn and negligent. They need to be disciplined and it is the role of the parents to do that. As parents, we dream that our children grow to be good men and women. But sometimes the road is hard. We have to be firm and decisive when we discipline our children. If you want to discipline your teens effectively, you can consider the following tips:

  • Establish expectations and rules: Parents should establish expectations and rules. It is your own house. Do not let your teens overpower you. You have to explain why you have expectations and rules so they can understand. You need to mention the consequences should they evade.
  • Know how to punish them: Punishing does not need to be physical or violent. When you punish, you have to begin with their favourite things. For example, if they are crazy over their cell phones, you can get it as a consequence for their bad behaviour. guidelines-for-teen-parenting
  • Do not be overly castigatory: When you are very angry, teens will get what you mean. If your teens clearly understood the expectations and rules, they will set things right. Do not overdo the punishment because it will only worsen things.
  • Express love: No matter what they do, you have to remind your teens that you love them. The reason why you are punishing them is out of love. Teens need to be assured that they are loved despite their misbehaviour.
  • Do not hold resentment: Holding resentment or grudges is natural but if you are a parent dealing with your teens, you should forget these feelings and move on. Do not continuously remind your teens of their misbehaviour. When punishments are done and met, allow things to return normally.
  • Be fair: Your teens misbehave at times. That is a fact. When they are at fault, it is right to punish them but you have to be fair. Remember that if are overly castigatory, they will think the worse of you.

If despite your best efforts there are no changes, it is time that you consider professional help. Parenting a teen is not easy. You need the help or assistance of many people. Maybe your teens are enduring something that they do not feel like telling you. The most important thing is they know that you love them no matter what they do in life.

  • Effects of patents: Patents are created to safeguard intellectual property. It is also intended to inspire innovations. If you registered your idea or invention, it gives you an advantage over your rivals. These days, patent disputes are used to threaten or intimidate each other. Patent wars force companies to allot money and time for the litigation processes. The money and time could have been used in Research and Development (R&D).

 

  • Reasons for patenting: It is important for an individual or corporation to patent their inventions or ideas. Patenting will give you exclusive rights. This means that for 20 years (from the date of the filing), you can exploit the idea or invention. Patenting will also make your market position stronger. This will prevent rival companies to use your idea or invention for a period of time. If you choose not to use your idea or invention, you can sell the rights to other companies.

The information provided above can give you an idea of patents, intellectual property and the global dispute between the two technology giants. If you want to learn more, you can ask your friends or co-workers about it.
