I am running on Windows 7 64bit on a Samsung S3511. My MS Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000 v1.0 always stop working after hours of use. I simply could not get my laptop to pair with the device this time. When I try to add it again, everything seems to work, but then no response from the pointer, and after few seconds the device disappear from the list of bluetooth devices.
Here's what finally solved it for me:
1. Disable "Power Management". Click on Bluetooth icon, select Open Settings. Go to Hardware tab, and select Broadcom BCM2070 Bluetooth 3.0 +HS USB Device. Click Properties. Go to Power Mangement Tab and unselect "Allow computer to turn off this device". Reboot!!!
2. Go to Start, type services.msc, then double click on Bluetooth Support Service, select Automatic. Go to Log On tab and select "This account" and type in Local Service. Delete both passwords. Reboot when done!!!
4. Go back to Bluetooth Setting and ensure that you select "Allow Bluetooth device to find this computer" in the Options tab.
5. Add the mouse device again, this will load device drivers and install.
Hope it works for you too!!!

Ultrabook! You have probably heard that name somewhere. So what is the difference between a conventional laptop and an ultrabook?
The ultrabook is a proposal developed by Intel that aims to offer laptops thinner and lighter than traditional laptops, but with a processing capacity greater than the current netbooks. The idea is that ultrabook can offer portability that tablets have, but with a greater range of possibilities.
According to Intel, for a notebook to carry the ultrabook name it must...

Hubs, switches, and routers are all devices that let you connect one or more computers to other computers, networked devices, or to other networks. Each has two or more connectors called ports into which you plug in the cables to make the connection.
A hub is typically the least expensive, least intelligent, and least complicated of the three. Its job is very simple: anything that comes in one port is sent out to the others. That's it. Every computer connected to the hub "sees" everything t...

Binary is a number system used by digital devices like computers, cd players, etc.
In Binary you can write just zeroes and ones; In other words, Binary has only 2 different numerals (0 and 1) to denote a value, unlike Decimal which has 10 numerals (0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 and 9).
Here is an example of a binary number: 10011100
If you separate the binary in columns like this, you will have your zeros and ones for our known normal numbers called decimal.
If we would continue wi...

COPYING FILES
cp (copy)
cp file1 file2 is the command which makes a copy of file1 in the current working directory and calls it file2
MOVING FILES
mv (move)
mv file1 file2 moves (or renames) file1 to file2
To move a file from one place to another, use the mv command. This has the effect of moving rather than copying the file, so you end up with only one file rather than two. It can also be used to rename a file, by moving the file to the same directory, but giving it a different name.
