What is latency, how serious is it and how do I get rid of it?

Latency is the amount of time it takes for a packet of data to go from the starting location to the final location. Together the amount of latency and bandwidth dictate the quality, speed and capacity of a network.
Once latency or a delay is present, it cannot be optimized. This means that the cause of the latency will have to be removed before the network can work at the optimal performance.

Jitter is the term used to explain the measure of the variable over time of the latency that appears across a network. In order to have good quality voice and video you must get rid of as much of the jitter as possible.
Jitter is caused by transit delay, which is caused by cueing, contention, and serialization effects. These issues take place on the pathway of the network that transfers the data from the beginning point to the destination point.

He told this kid that he had his IP address, and so he now knew his exact home address, his phone number, his name, his social security number, had access to credit cards and bank accounts, knew his work address, and basically every single confidential and private piece of information that you could know about a person and, of course, that he was going to come and get this poor kid.

Choosing a great wireless mouse
When it comes to choosing a mouse for your computer, why not go wireless? In this day and age, choosing a great wireless mouse can be simple.
First ask yourself what you are going to be using the mouse for. Most mice can be used for any purpose, however in saying that there are some out there that are ergonomically designed for smaller hands, or for those who spend multiple hours on their computer playing games. So naturally choosing a great wireless mouse will largely depend on what you are using it for. Microsoft, for example makes a wireless laser mouse (Microsoft Wireless Laser Mouse 6000) which is great for "zipping" across your desk without having to lift it up again and again. The movement of the curser is extremely smooth. Operating at 6000 frames per second at 1000 dpi resolution allows the mouse to capture 1000 pixels in just an inch of movement. It then relays this information 6000 times a second. Now that's fast! The natural wireless laser mouse 6000 uses a chip size less than 18 microns beating out many of its competitors. This allows Microsoft users to get the most out of the battery life. One drawback to this wireless mouse is that the mouse wheel has no ratchet, making it a nightmare for those avid gamers. But if you are looking to choose a great wireless mouse for document and webpage scrolling, this would be a good choice.

RSS is a very simple way that several sites can share millions of articles and headlines. RSS is used to keep track of the articles, and make it easier for viewers to access these articles and information.
Netscape created the idea of RSS, when they were trying to become part of the portal business. They wanted to use an XML format that would increase the usability and access of other stories to their site.
However, when they moved out of the realm of the portal business, they dropped the use of RSS .91. At this point other developers from UserLand Software then picked up the RSS .91 and started to develop it further.
UserLand then came up with .92, .93 and .94. At about this time in RSS history, another independent non-commercial group developed RSS 1.0. This development was based on the original principals of RSS. This same group eventually released RSS 2.0.

One of the biggest worries about the iPhone ever since it premiered in June 2007 is some rather high profile security concerns about the possibility of hackers being able to get into your iPhone. These security concerns have been based on the ease that people have found to be able to hack into iPhones because of certain security flaws in Mozilla Firefox and Safari when they are accessed through the iPhone.
However, while many consumers have expressed a lot of concern over potential problems with iPhone security, Andrew Jaquith, who is a security analyst with the Yankee Group, has said, "I think [the security concerns have] been exaggerated. You have to start with the observation that many of the people that complain the loudest and say it's a security threat tend to be security companies themselves." Jaquith also has said that the two biggest complaints and security concerns about iPhones-1. That iPhones are not ready to be used on a corporate level due to security concerns; and 2. That iPhones are insecure and able to be hacked into far too easily-are actually overblown, and are nearly as problematic as many people have made these security concerns out to be. Jaquith says that if you really don't want to get an iPhone, security concerns should not be the reason that you decide not to get one. Instead, your decision not to get an iPhone should be based on whether or not you want to support IMAP or the type of VPN that is utilized by the iPhone.
