What is the difference between bluetooth and infrared?

Bluetooth uses RF (radio frequency) to broadcast the information, like cordless phones. Infrared uses light like a TV remote control. RF will pass through opaque objects like walls.

Infrared, being light, must be seen by the item receiving the signal. So, there must not be anything between the sender and the receiver that blocks the light, or the light must be bounced off of something to get around an object in-between sender and receiver. Also, this means that the range of bluetooth can be greater than that of infrared.

What is a different between external and internal hardware computer component?

Internal components are devices that are either built-in to the motherboard of the computer, added on an expansion card or a device attached to the motherboard by way of ribbon cables.

External devices are added to the computer system by plugging them into one of the ports on the back of the computer.

What does the Xp in the operating system Windows Xp mean?

According to one source, the XP in windows XP stands for 'Experience' (as in the "Windows experience"). A similar connotation was made for the 64-bit successor, Windows Vista.

------

Another possibility (but not one Microsoft marketing would have chosen) :

The "XP" was meant to show the human side of the software by using two characters that were known to be used for smilies in textspeak : the X being squinting eyes while the P would be the mouth and protruding tongue.

-------

Among the Microsoft developers, XP is 2001 in Roman numerals.

The more standard MMI was avoided, because the MRNSDK (Microsoft Roman Numeral Development Kit) doesn't fully support the M symbol for 1000. Of course, P is not generally included in the Roman numeral system; it was quietly added between the 1.01 and subsequent 8.0 releases of the MRNSDK. Though undocumented, and possessing obscure semantics, the P extension is widely used. In any case, it is easy to verify through experimentation that XP = 2001.

Convert 1 gb into KB?

To convert Kilobytes(KB) to Gigabytes(GB) just divide it by 1048576. 1048576 is equal to the square of 1024.

For example:

2000 KB is equal to [2000/(1048576)] GB i.e 0.0019073486328125 GB

How much is 64GB in MB?

1 Gigabyte is 1000 Megabytes. Therefore there are 0.064 GBs in 64MBs

What is larger kb or gb or MB?

The smallest is bytes, then kb, then mb, then gb, and then the biggest is tb.

How many GB does the Acer have?

The average amount of R.A.M (Random access memory)for a laptop is 1-2. Most Pc's support 4 gigabytes of R.A.M but of course there almost is no limit to the amount of ram you can have. Mac's support up to 8 gigabytes of R.A.M (excluding the Macbook Air)

How much is 10MB of KB?

10mb its rubbish get a memory card is my advise! i have a new phone and it only had this much enternal memory so i bought a 5GB memory card and it held 50000 songs!! loll

How many kilobyte is 2000 bytes?

1024 bytes the actual number of bytes in one kilobyte. 2048 is typically referred to as 2 Kilobytes but that is kind of a shorthand. So, technically 2000 bytes exactly would be 1.9531 Kilobytes in the computer world anyway. It all has to do with the binary number system where 2048 is represented with 16bits as 0000100000000000. Each bit from the right to the left is worth double the value of the right most bit that is worth a decimal value of 1. So, again from right to left the bit values are 1,2,4,8,16,32,64,128,256,512,1024,2048. For example the decimal value of 2047 would look like this in binary 00000111111111111. Just add the values of each bit from right to left and you'll get it.

On a computer what does a find and replace function do?

With find you can search the document for a certain word or character string. With replace you can replace all instances of a word or character string by a different one. That can save you a lot of time.

The different information systems and their main features?

The term information systems, sometimes refers to a system of persons, data records and activities that process the data and information in an organisation, and it includes the organisation's manual and automated processes. Their main features will be the process carried out, for example if you wanted to save a file; you might save it on the computer, where do you save it? email, documents, pictures, video etc. In what? files, folders, albums etc or you might save it in a filing cabinate, how do you store it? Alphabetically, numerically, weekly, monthly etc. Think about who stores or saves the information, when does it get archived, when archived, how long do you keep it before it gets recycled or binned.

What is the function of network topology?

yes, network topology does matter to design a network. as we know that topology is a structure of network. without a topology network cannot be designed. we have to consider which topology to use and what does each topology does. different topology have its different features. if you want most secure connection use full mesh topology

How much is 2 MB in KB?

IN DECIMAL FORM: kb means KILO (kilo in 1000) BYTE, and mb means MEGA (mega as in the next 1000) BYTE. So 1kb has 1000bytes, 1mb has 1000kb, 1gb has 1000mb, 1tb has 1000 gb and so on... Therefore, 2mb has 2000kb. IN BINARY FORM: kb means KILO (kilo in 1024) BYTE, and mb means MEGA (mega as in the next 1024) BYTE. So 1kb has 1024bytes, 1mb has 1024kb, 1gb has 1024mb, 1tb has 1024 gb and so on... Therefore, 2mb has 2048kb

What is larger 128 MB or 2 GB?

2 GB is more. 1 GB=1024 MB, so 2 GB would be 2048 MB, which is much more than 32 MB.

How many gigabytes are 4224.1 megabytes?

A gigabyte is equal to 1000 megabytes which means the 448 megabytes is 0.448 of a gigabyte.

How many bytes are in an exabyte?

1 exabyte (EB) = 1 quintillion bytes

quintillion = 1,000,000,000,000,000,000 = 10006 = 1018

An exabyte is 1000 petabytes, which is in turn equal to 1000 terabytes, which is equal to 1000 gigabytes, which is equal to 1000 megabytes.... and so on.

What does DIP stand for in computer terms?

A dual in-line package (DIP) is a microcircuit package with two rows of seven vertical leads that are easily inserted into an etched circuit board. I hope this answer means more to you than it does to me!

DIP ALSO STANDS FOR DIPLOMA.

What is a system clock function of a computer?

the system clock determines how fast the computer can process information. it is measured in operations per second. i believe 1GHz is equal to 10,000 processes per second? but im not sure. however, each thing you do on a computer may take multiple lines of code. for example, clicking the mouse may take 2 lines or so to execute.

Overclocking is the process of increasing the clock to a higher level so it can perform more operations per second

What are practical examples of information systems in daily life?
