Many of us have experienced the sorrows of low or faulty broadband speeds. They?re really irritating. Just imagine this situation ? you have some extremely important work to do, maybe write a term paper for college, or upload images, or send some urgent mail, and you can?t do it, because your slow broadband speed is getting in the way. So in such a situation, what do you do?

Well, one thing you can do is use the many broadband comparison services out there. Many people tend to dismiss them, thinking they are just for finding out the cheap broadband deals. Therefore, they don?t give them any importance. But the truth is, there is a lot more to them than just that. You can compare the speeds of broadband connections. So if you ever need to compare mobile broadband and home broadband, this is the thing for you!

So how does it all work? We shall tell you. First, the broadband comparison service will ask for the postcode of your area. This is done to allow the search to be restricted to services that are just available in your area and no other; this prevents inter-lapping and makes the whole process a lot easier and more convenient. For example, for Virgin Media, their cable broadband isn?t available in all parts. Then, the service will ask you whether you want cable or ADSL. They will also enquire into the kinds of costs you are looking at, whether you want something expensive, or a low cost broadband deal to suit your budget. Finally, you will be asked how you want your results ordered ? ask for them to be sorted by download speeds. Then all you have to do is click through on your chosen provider, and that?s it!

The range of broadband speeds for ADSL is from 1 MB to 24 MB, for the faster connections, you have to spend more. Virgin Media only provides cable broadband in the UK, and this can reach up to 50 MB download speeds, but it?s not available in all areas, plus it is also expensive. When it comes to speed, mobile broadband is slower than normal landline broadband.

Another thing you need to remember is that when it comes to a particular connection, the advertised speed is the maximum speed you are likely to get. Once you are connected, it would be advisable to perform a speed test, this allows you to see if you?re getting the right service and the appropriate speed for the amount you?re paying. So with a little effort and dedication, you needn?t throw up your hands in despair because of your tiresome connection, it just takes a little time to solve the problem with ease.

Censorship row sees Google postpone launch of handset that incorporates its email and web services

Google has postponed the launch in China of a new mobile phone incorporating its email and web services, following its row with the government there over censorship and hacking of its internal network.

“The launch we have been working on with [mobile carrier] China Unicom has been postponed,” said a Google spokesperson.

Informed observers said that Google had decided that it could not launch a handset which relies on Google’s services ? particularly its web and email services, which would be “baked” into the handset’s operating system ? at a time when it could not be sure whether those will continue to be available in China.

Google last week accused Chinese hackers of compromising its internal networks to try to access the Google-operated webmail accounts of human rights activists, who have been repeatedly targeted by the Chinese government. As a result, Google said it will seek to end its self-imposed censorship of its search results there.

Though Google has begun talks with the Chinese government to see whether it will be allowed to lift its censorship, a Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Tuesday that the search giant must obey China’s laws and traditions. That implies that Google will have to close its google.cn site, which would mean most of its 700 employees there would be out of work.

Although there are mobile phones sold in China which use Google’s free Android operating system, none so far has incorporated its Gmail and web search apps as the proposed one would. Sources familiar with Google’s thinking said that they decided that launching the phone and then withdrawing the email and search service would “seriously compromise the user experience”.

Google has not yet set a date when it will stop censoring its search results inside China. The Chinese government insists that internet searches are censored to remove material deemed “subversive or pornographic” ? with human rights and dissidents’ work deemed to fall into the former category.

Many a mind might’ve strayed from all the CES crazy-talk about future tech and wondered as to what exactly is going on in the war against bad graphics on otherwise totally sweet laptops. The answer from NVIDIA is, disappointingly, not much. The green giant of GPUs quietly snuck out its 300M mobile GPUs over the turn of the year, and there was good reason for the lack of fuss — the top tier GeForce GTS 360M sports the same number of processing cores as its 260M predecessor, accompanied by the same 2GHz memory clock and identical 128-bit memory interface. But don’t despair yet, sailor! There’s the stark omission of any GeForce GTX models among the new 300Ms, which should fuel hopes that this gap in what NVIDIA calls the enthusiast market will be filled by Fermi-shaped chips come March of this year.

NVIDIA outs 300M mobile graphics series, causes little excitement originally appeared on Engadget on Wed, 13 Jan 2010 06:02:00 EST. Please see our terms for use of feeds.
