The Consumer Electronics Show (CES) is one of those big events that tech and gadget geeks from all over the world look forward to every year to get a glimpse of the new gizmos they could salivate on and hopefully get a hold of before the year ends. In the last CES, one of the many gadgets that certainly wowed cellphone and photo geeks is an as-yet nameless product that we shall call the Zink printer.

What is the Zink printer? The Zink printer is one of the newest offerings of Polaroid, that camera products company that we are all familiar with, and of Zink, or Zero Ink Printer Company. The Zink printer promises to become a craze by the time it is released before fall. Why? First, because it is a portable cellphone printer that can easily fit in your pocket. Second, it is an inkless printer - with the Zink technology, it does not consume even a drop of ink.

How Does the Zink Printer Work?

Yes, the Zink printer does not use even a drop of ink. That is because this inkless printer makes use of special paper that was developed by Zink. This special Zink paper has numerous tiny crystals colored in yellow, magenta and cyan, the basic colors needed by inkjet printers to produce color prints.

The way the Zink printer works to produce color prints is quite simple. When a photo is printed using this inkless printer, the Zink printer's head applies the appropriate heat and pressure on the Zink paper, as accorded by the image being printed. This heat and pressure causes the yellow, magenta and cyan crystals on the Zink paper to melt and blend together to capture the desired image on the paper.

Are photos printed with the Zink printer durable? The answer is yes. The Zink paper is designed so that any image printed on it will be highly resistant to light and heat, therefore more durable and more long-lasting that even Polaroid prints. The Zink paper's polymer overcoat is the one that makes this possible.

Using the Zink Printer as a Cellphone Printer

What makes the Zink printer so great is that it can be used as a cellphone printer. Any image you can capture on your cellphone camera or digital camera, you can now easily print on the Zink printer.

As mentioned above, the Zink printer is so small it can fit easily into your pocket. Having a portable cellphone printer such as the Zink printer will make it a joy for photo geeks to exchange snapshots. What is more is that the Zink paper can come in variants with adhesive backing, which would make for lovely and colorful customized stickers and labels. A pack containing 10 sheets of the Zink paper is said to cost only $4.

The Zink printer promises to be a hit when it gets released this fall. As a cellphone printer, it is poised to add another dimension of fun and convenience to taking pictures with a cellphone. As an inkless printer, it is a more affordable and handier way of getting the prints that you want.

There are a lot of ways to get into a computer system : adware, malware, viruses, trojans, worms, rootkits, backdoors, open ports, and backdoors are just some of the ways people get into your data. Ever wondered why your computer is so slow? I downloaded Netdetector only to find 20,000 viruses on my computer. There were several backdoors, trojans, and even a keylogger. I called around to find out how people keep their data secure only to find out that real security experts are only for large companies with 100 or more computers. So, what can the average user do?

Reformat Hard Drive

I could not get many of the items off the computer. I decided to reformat. So, I backed up my data and reformatted the entire hard drive with a new version of windows completely updated. I have Mcafee on the front door and Netdetector for spyware. Within minutes of browsing with Internet Explorer, Netdetector found a rootkit and and a hard to remove trojans. Still, I lost so much valuable data from the malware, I was looking for something better. Keylogger companies actually guarantee that nobody can detect their software so I knew I must do better than a couple software packages.

IP Address: How Hackers Use It

Once the hackers get your ip address they send scripts to virus databases that constantly look for additional viruses to download. Some viruses are non detectable because they operate below the operating system. Almost every home user has some sort of malware on their computer. Once you are in the hacker loop, you can't stop them with McAfee, Norton or Symantec. Their whole profession is to get around these programs.

What Can You Do To Keep Out Hackers

There are solutions, but none of them are guaranteed. A combination of things will work the best.

Iron key is a USB device that encrypts your data and web browser. Third parties will not be able to see what you are doing on the internet. However, malware can still get downloaded on your computer and compromise security.

To stop malware, there is a program called Sandboxie. You can run your browser in the sandbox and any downloaded files can't be written to the operating system without your permission. This will keep rootkits at bay. Rootkits essentially hide other trojans and viruses from operating system detection. The combination of Iron Key and Sandboxie are a good combination. You should still use firewalls and spyware detectors to double check your system.

Another option is to use bitlocker. It encrypts the entire hard drive. It is available from Microsoft, but you have to be running Windows Vista Enterprise or Ultimate edition (black boxed one) to use it.

Additional Tools

To see how much junk is on your computer you can use two programs from Microsoft: Autoruns and System Explorer. They are available at System Internals This web page from Microsoft has a lot of good little programs to help you see what your computer is doing. Autoruns is awesome because it shows what programs are loading on startup (the hidden stuff).

Settings

When browsing turn off active x and turn on all the additional security setting under tools, internet options, advanced, security. Make sure you disable any type of scripting behavior. Browse you computer as a limited user (not Admin) to help prevent unauthorized downloads.

You will be surprised how much faster your computer will be after a clean install. Keeping out hackers is extremely hard. If I were buying a new computer, I would definitely get Iron Key to keep hackers from ever discovering me.
