What is meant by cloud in cloud computing?

Cloud Computing means the following:

1. Pay Per use: users pay per use rather than fixed cost. You pay per hour rate for usage of resources on the cloud rather than buying a server upfront.

2. Resource Sharing: The same hardware resources are shared with multiple customers thus resources are shared and pooled to provide maximum utilization.

3. Access through Internet: The Cloud means the internet so you access resources on the internet rather than house them in your own

datacenter

RAM can be thought of as the what for the computer processor?

Think of it as a temporary space or "Blackboard" or "workspace" for your CPU.

Like the top of your desk. Limited amounts of things can be worked on at the same time but the access is much faster for things in "Ram" or on the top of your desk. The desk drawers or file cabinets might be a hard drive or disk drive. You can still get stuff from them but slower. But they hold a lot more.

Hope this helps!

The customer lives in a remote area deep in a valley and cannot afford broadband?

I'm not sure what you mean by "broadband"; I'm assuming you mean wireless.

So: wireless is out, satellite is likely out ("deep in a valley", though if the valley is broad enough or runs in the right direction it could work), DSL is PROBALY out ("remote area" ... DSL only works fairly near the phone company's central office). Cable may be an option if the area is served by cable and the cable provider offers it. If not, you're pretty much stuck with dialup.

What is the defintion of a computer cursor?

The computer cursor is the little arrow (or whatever you have set it as) that moves about the screen when you move your mouse, or finger on a trackpad. You use it to click things, drag things around, highlight words, and things to that effect. When the cursor looks like an animated glove, the item your cursor is hovering over may be clicked on for something to happen. If the computer is loading, it may appear as an hourglass, or on a mac, a "colorful spinning wheel of death." A computer cursor can also take the shape of a sword or armored glove depending on what game or application you are using. This isn't the exact denotation, but close enough XD.

How do you stop your PC from crashing?

5 Ways to Stop Your Computer From Crashing

Unfortunately, marked improvements in computer reliability have not eliminated the fact that computers do still on occasion "freeze" or "hang." Or even worse, "crash". However, you can take measures to minimise if not eliminate PC crashes and freeze ups. Here's how.

1. Upgrade to the latest operating system The stability of a PC's operating system is the key to computer reliability and availability. The code used to build the latest versions generally improves on the code woven into earlier ones.

That's usually the case with Microsoft Windows. A test report from eTesting Labs Inc. shows that Windows XP Professional is significantly less crash-prone than the now two generations older Windows 98 Second Edition.

2. Take virus protection seriously New computer viruses go into circulation on the internet every day. A virus can erase or corrupt files on your hard drive and trigger a computer crash. Be sure to:

-Install antivirus software and keep it updated.

-Use caution when opening and installing files. Ask yourself if you trust the source of the file before taking any action.

3. Keep your software up-to-date Software companies continue to make improvements to their products after they're released to the public. These updates are packaged in the form of service packs.

Use the Windows Update (US link) feature to automatically download the latest service packs and critical security patches. If you're already using Windows XP, be sure to install the latest service pack available. To ensure that Microsoft Office System applications such as Word, Outlook and Excel have the latest security updates, visit the Office Update site.

4. Use care when installing new programs or drivers Computer problems often arise after adding new programs or drivers. Drivers are small programs that make your printer, graphics adapter, sound card and other hardware devices work with your computer's operating system.

If you have multiple new programs or drivers to install, install one and then make sure your PC is operating correctly before you install the next one. This way you can more easily identify if a particular program has caused a problem.

One advantage of running Windows XP Professional on your computer is that unlike Windows 2000 and Windows 98 , it has built-in tools to rescue your PC from programs that make it behave badly.

5. Provide surge protection and backup power PCs house voltage-sensitive components that a power surge can easily damage. A spike in the electrical output from a wall plug will at minimum shorten the life of your computer. It could also crash and destroy your system, taking all your data with it.

Surge protection devices work as a buffer between the electrical supply in your building and your PC. They are fairly inexpensive especially when compared to the cost of replacing a PC. For a bit more money, a device called an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) provides surge protection as well as a back-up battery to keep your PC running in the event of a power outage. This keeps you from losing data you haven't saved, and allows you to keep working for at least another 10 to 15 minutes.

A slow computer can be as frustrating as one that crashes or freezes. You also might consider adopting a regimen of regular system maintenance. Defragmenting your hard disk, checking the hard disk for errors and deleting temporary files can improve system speed and performance. Using Windows Scheduled Tasks feature is a simple way to automate your PC maintenance chores.

In some cases, the CPU or the video card could be overheating. So check the CPU, GPU, and case fans to see if they are working and adequate.
