Service: You Get What You Pay For…
November 25, 2014
“You get what you pay for.”. It’s a phrase that’s been around for ages and I’m sure you are familiar with it. But do you truly know what it means? The phrase gets used a lot, but like most “catchphrases”, people don’t typically give it any real thought.

Virus 101 – Mac Virus… The Reality.
May 5, 2014
Apple computers (Macbooks, Macbook Pros, iMacs) have always had the reputation of being “virus proof”. And for the most part, that reputation was true. But not for the reasons most people think. It wasn’t that viruses couldn’t be written for the Mac OS (operating system), it’s just that the Windows OS user base was so much larger that the criminals creating computer viruses thought it not worth the effort to target the relatively small Mac percentage. Therefore, for the longest time, Mac users enjoyed a sort of immunity from the attacks and having to safeguard their data from viruses.

Internet 101: Domain Names
March 18, 2014
What is a domain name? A domain name is a memorable, assigned/leased space on the internet that translates to machine recognizable unique IP addresses. The domain name you purchase should be pointed at your website, and any other web-accessible resources you have at your availability (such as email @yourdomainname.com or eccommerce site (ex. store.yourdomain.com)).
You Need A Pro!
August 27, 2013
Everybody has a friend, family member, or co-worker that is “good with computers”. They can be a handy person to have around when you have minor issues like forgetting how to print a spreadsheet, or how to save pictures from your smartphone, or or how to attach those pictures to an email to send to your aunt in Pasadena. It’s great to have someone you can call at a moments notice for little stuff like that. But what isn’t great is when people go to these same individuals for major issues. While these “computer guys” may have your best interest in heart, what they don’t have is the training and knowledge, the years of hands on experience repairing computers, or the tools of a professional computer repair shop.

Home User Maintenance
August 6, 2013
Like any other substantial investment such as a vehicle or a home, owning a computer comes with responsibility to maintain it in order for it to perform as it was designed to do. Unfortunately most computer owners are either uninformed of this, think its relatively unimportant, or just don’t have the knowledge to provide this maintenance.

Heatsink 101
May 29, 2013
We have talked about preventing overheating of your computers in a few different posts on the blog. One of the methods mentioned was a “heatsink service”, which entails replacing the thermal grease on the heatsink. But we never really explained what a heat sink is, or what it (and the thermal grease) actually does. So we aim to fix that oversight today!
