Today’s smartphones, particularly those based on the Android platform are media powerhouses, so it is very likely that you have tones of photos and video clips you’d like to share with friends and family. But I can get pretty painful showing them off on your handset’s tiny screen. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could watch it on your laptop, desktop monitor or your large screen TV without having to trader the files onto your PC? Getting a USB cable and hooking up your phone to your PC is tedious and time consuming. And what if you happen to be at your friend’s place and don’t have your USB cable with you? Moreover, you wouldn’t want to transfer your personal media onto someone else’s PC.

In the following steps, we will show you how you can stream video, photos or music from your mobile phone directly on to a desktop PC or laptop. All you need is a simple free Android app called VLC Direct, a media playback application called VLC Media Player on your PC, and the two connected to the same network. Download VLC Direct for free from the Android Market. Download and install VLC on your PC from www.videolan.org. Connect the two devices to a wireless router and you are ready to stream.

Step 1 - Start VLC Direct on your Android handheld. A small wizard will show you through the process of how to configure the video streaming requirements. Be careful because if you accidentally quit the application or press the back button on your phone, VLC Direct will exit and not show you the wizard again. In such a case, you can click the Menu button and Go to Settings and Select the Automatic Connection Wizard to re-initiate the wizard.

Step 2 - Switch on your PC and connect it to a large display LCD TV if you want to enjoy videos on a big screen. Start VLC Media Player on your Computer. Click on View -> Add Interface -> Web Interface and leave the VLC Media Player as it is.

Step 3 - On the mobile phone screen, Press on the Start button and the VLC Direct app will start scanning for the machine with VLC Media Player on your local network. Once that is done, you will receive a toast message stating that it has detected the player and the configurations have been set for video streaming.

By following these steps, you will be able to stream media files onto your PC instantly. Using the Android handset, you can just sit back and scroll through your list of photos, videos, or music files and watch play them back on the big screen. You can also control the playback - stop, forward, rewind, pause and play, and volume controls as well. You can also pull out the list of media files on your PC and play them as well.

2. Next way is to remove external devices as these external devices can drain much of the power of the battery. Try to disconnect external devices when you are not using them. If you want to charge iPod then instead of using laptop USB port use wall charger where you can keep your iPod while charging.



3. One should know that virtual memory of computer or laptop drain much power so try to have additional RAM as it will allow its user to use its actual memory instead of virtual memory. RAM also requires extra energy but not as much as virtual memory does.




4. Do you know that if you defragment your hard disk quite often, your hard disk will work effectively and use less energy? Well it’s true, defragmentation is a process where you divide your hard disk into different sections. This process will help a lot in improving your computer battery life.



5. Try to clean metal contact of your battery once in a month using cleaner. This thing will make your battery work more effectively.



6. Another method of extending battery life is to hibernate the system instead of putting it on standby. If you are using hibernation, you can actually start again from the point where you have left off.



7. We all know that we can perform multitasking on laptop or computer system, but it’s of no use if you are running multiple programs on the laptop without any use. Running multiple programs can reduce battery power very quickly so try to avoid running many programs if you really want to extend your battery life.

Today, everyone is aware of computer. We all know about computers, what computer do, but have you ever given a thought on how to build computer? Isn’t it adventurous to think that you can construct your own computer. But to make sure that your adventure turns into reality here are some tips.

Sometimes due to lack of knowledge in building computer system one can incur huge cost. That is why below is the list of reasons why one should know how to build computer.

1.To have good Operating System and not any pre-packaged software.

2.This will give you good understanding of your computer system.

3.If your system ever gets static then you can replace parts instead of replacing your system.

In order to build computer, you should know what kind of features of computer you are looking for. Are you looking for compact system or you are looking for a system enabled with all gaming features. Once you have finished your decision making you can move forward and select parts. Let’s start with motherboard.

Motherboard: This is one of the most important parts of computer system. All other stuffs like CPU, RAM etc get attached to motherboard. Never compromise to cheaper motherboard. I would suggest you to have Intel dual core for your system and if you are looking for something bigger you have to spend more bucks over it.

CPU (Central Processing Unit): It is the main processing unit of your computer system. It basically contains logical circuits that performs certain operations and displays result on output screen. You can settle yourself with Intel Dual Core Processor but if you want to have raw machine try Quad Core. Most important thing to remember is to select right brand for your system.

Power Supply: In case your computer case does not contain power supply you can have one but make sure that the power supply you select should match your motherboard. You should go for 300 watt power for your system. But if you are building computer for gaming purpose then you have to select higher power supply.

RAM (Random Access Memory): Good computer system should have at least 2 GB RAM support for ordinary machine and 4 GB for heavy one and also make sure that it comes with accurate pin configuration.

Video Card: Video Card is necessary for any computer system as it improves video quality of the videos played over it. 1 GB is sufficient for any computer system. You can find many motherboards that support more than one Video Card but it’s better to use such Motherboard only when required. Nvidia and ATI are some of the top name or we must say top brands name of Video Cards.

Optical Drive: Optical drive is equipment that uses laser in order to read or write information on CD or DVD. If you want to build computer for your office or home try to get these drive at cheaper rates. Make sure that these drive burns CDs and DVDs correctly.

Hard Drive: SATA better known as Serial ATA drives are counted among the best ones in case of hard drives. Their size may vary from 60 GB to 1 TB depending upon the requirements and capacity of motherboard. If you love gaming go for hard disk with higher storage capacity.

Operating System: For average user I would personally recommend Windows XP as it is the operating system most people are aware of so if you get some technical faults with this operating system you won’t find it difficult to fix that fault. Also window XP is simple in use and you can install it very easily.

So before going to buy the parts for your system try to do some research work over internet regarding their brand names, price and ratings. Once you are done, you can visit any local retailer to get those parts. Assemble all the components in a logical manner and your handmade computer is ready to use. By the above mentioned tips one can make his own computer.
