Windows Update
error 80072efd
If you receive Windows Update error
80072efd while checking for updates, the
cause might be a high number of update
requests on the Windows Update servers.
Close Windows Update, wait 10 to 15
minutes, and then run Windows Update
again. You can also wait for Windows
Update to run at its next scheduled time.
If you continue to receive this error, it
might mean that a program running on
your computer is preventing Windows
Update Services (SVCHOST) from
accessing the Internet. Programs that
might do this include firewalls, anti-
spyware software, web accelerators,
Internet security or antivirus programs,
and proxy servers.
To correct the problem, you might need
to add the Windows Update website
addresses to the blocking program's
exceptions or "allow" list or allow
Windows Update Service to connect to
the Internet through port 80 and port
443.
To add the Windows Update websites
to a firewall exceptions list
Windows Firewall ships with this version
of Windows and should already include
these sites in the exceptions list. If you
use a different firewall, refer to the

whats the laptop model? we should be able to help you.

When your old laptop or PC gives up the ghost, it's time to upgrade to something more modern. But what should you buy a table or new laptop. We answer all your questions with our expert buying advice.
You've seen the adverts for the new iPad and you might have even had a play with one, but should you buy one or a new laptop? It's a question many people are asking, and with good reason.

Buying an iPad is a dilemma as tablets are new technology. Can an iPad replace your old PC or laptop, or does it have too many limitations? We'll answer these and more questions. You can also use this guide if you're considering another tablet as, for the most part, the same principles apply.

Let's start off, though, by saying that an iPad - or any other tablet - is not a replacement for a laptop. Tablets are good at many things, but their abilities are a subset of a laptop's. You can't, for example, burn a music CD to listen to in the car, or a DVD of your latest home movie.

It isn't particularly easy to print from an iPad, either, although it is possible in some apps (you can print an email, a document or a web page if you have a compatible printer).

In short, you will still need a laptop or a PC as a backup in case you find you can't do something on your iPad.
Tablets: the iPad advantage
Battery life
Chances are, your laptop needs to be plugged in most of the time as its battery lasts only an hour or two. With an iPad, you'll be freed from the mains all day, since it will last for at least eight (if not 10 or 12) hours of constant use. If you're considering an Android tablet, check the manufacturer's claimed battery life or our reviews as some tablets last for a much shorter time between charges.

Portability and comfort
A tablet is also much lighter and more portable than a laptop, so you really can take it everywhere with you. It's more comfortable to sit and use an iPad, it doesn't get too warm and there are no fans, unlike most laptops whose high-pitched fans can drive you to distraction.

Instant on and connected standby
Yet another advantage is that an iPad doesn't take minutes to boot up: it's ready to go instantly, so it's quick to check email and Facebook, or the weather forecast or TV listings.
When you press the power button, it goes into standby, but remains connected to the internet so you'll hear alerts when you receive emails, Facebook messages or when other events happen. You don't have to turn it on to find out if you've missed something.

Touchscreen interface
If you've not used a touchscreen much, you may well think that it can't replace a keyboard and mouse. There are certainly some elements where a keyboard and mouse are quicker, but you'd be surprised at how fast you can type on the iPad's virtual, on-screen keyboard.

Built-in apps include a YouTube viewer, web browser, email, calendar, photo and video viewer, weather forecast, maps, notepad and reminders. Many apps, such as a calculator and timer, are freely available via the App Store.

iPad email
What you don't get is a Microsoft-office equivalent, but you can download Pages (like Word), Numbers (like Excel) and Keynote (PowerPoint) for £6.99 each. Many apps, though, cost just a pound or two, including Apple's own iMovie which is great for editing videos you've taken on the built-in camera, and iPhoto, for editing photos you've taken.

ipad iphoto
There are hundreds of thousands of apps to choose between, and there's bound to be one that does the task you need. Apple's App Store is one of the most compelling reasons to choose the iPad over another tablet as developers tend to launch apps for the iPad first, then Android, and then the other operating systems. This is why it's not a great idea to buy a BlackBerry PlayBook if you like the sound of installing all these apps. Not only are they rather thin on the ground in the BlackBerry AppWorld, they're also more expensive.

Browsing the web
Although you can download other web browsers, such as Google Chrome, the built-in Safari browser is perfectly fine for most people. Thanks to the new iPad's high resolution screen (it has more pixels than your laptop), websites look great and are displayed just as they are on your laptop or PC.

A word of warning, though. The iPad doesn't support Flash so some videos and websites won't be viewable. Plenty of kids websites, for example, still use Flash heavily and some simply won't work at all.

For the most part, you won't notice any problems, but it's important to have a PC or laptop available so you can access that crucial website which won't load on your iPad.

If you are well educated you would see that the pic depicts the true nature of what happens on the streets of Nigeria.

'Israeli forces have sprayed Palestinian homes in the village of Nabi Saleh with raw sewage as a punishment for organising weekly protests against the Apartheid Wall built on occupied West Bank land. Human rights watchdog B'Tselem published a video showing Israel's armoured tanker trucks fitted with "water cannons" which spray the foul fluid at Palestinian protesters.'

Seun: Source?

The photos and clothes worn by the guys in the pic look recent but i cant find it on any news wire. Maybe mukina was there?

Ifetex: [font=Lucida Sans Unicode][/font] I HAVE DON DAT AND IT IS HELPING AND IT REMAINS THE SLOW CONNECTION OF A THING

Slow connection as in what exactly?. Is the modem very slow or what?

[quote author=deejay_harry1]pls who stays in nsukka, and can gimme som of dis games for my n3...im ready to pay..[/quote]I would do a compilation of all the games and applications in here over the weekend and upload onto my website. All you need do is hit a cybercafe and download onto your pc. From there connect your n3 through usb to the system and copy to your memory card. you will just need to be clicking them one after the other to install.

Joe50: even my Nokia E6 with 8mega pixel camera and 2 flash led light can snap a clearer picture than lumia 920.

This is taken with the flash light disabled. The pics were taken in low-light without the aid of flash lights or anything. Upload an image sample of your e6 taking a clearer picture and lets compare.

Joe50: gud 1... But wait o, here na phone room na, modem na 4 computer room.

Yes I know it;s the phone section but most phone users also connect there phones via bluetooth or wireless to browse on their system.

bory09: I don't know what google reader really its. But can someone enlighten us. And will the stopping of google reader affect things online.

It is a feed reader that tracks new posts on websites based on user settings and reports to users a short caption of new updates on the website. For example you dont need to go to yaho newws and be refershing your page every second to know what the latest is, an rss reader does that for you and updates you anytime a new content is posted on to a selected website.

Abi oo..tell me how many Nigerians or nairalanders know what an rss is or what feeds are.

You post things that will benefit people in the it section but the mods only have eyes for placing thread of no valuable use to the frontpage.
Posts like this that would benefit users would never reach Fp.
