Why is SSD more expensive than HDD?

Ever since solid-state drives (SSDs) came out, the hype around them has been overwhelming. Media outlets were talking about how much faster they are than hard disk drives (HDDs) due to the lack of moving parts. In a way, they are not wrong. However, since SSDs went into the market, people have been asking themselves whether they are worth their hefty price tags. More so, people have also been asking why these drives are 5-10 times more expensive than HDDs, to begin with. There are multiple reasons for this, and I will explain why Are solid-state drives so expensive below.

What is the safest way of rooting an Android phone?

The steps necessary to root an Android phone vary widely, from “one-click” methods to “impossible”. It depends on the exact model of your phone and version of Android you are currently on (or desire).

Further complicating matters are the carriers. For example, the methods for rooting phone X on AT&T, Verizon, Sprint or T-Mobile (or any “foreign” carriers for that matter) are often NOT the same. The same can be said of your current baseband/radio versions.

So at a bare minimum rooting an Android phone requires extreme attention to detail to make sure you meet ALL the requirements and not brick your […]

What is penetration testing

Penetration testing allows the business to understand if the mitigation strategies employed are actually working as expected; it essentially takes the guesswork out of the equation. The penetration tester will be expected to emulate the actions that an attacker would attempt and will be challenged with proving that they were able to compromise the critical systems targeted. The most successful penetration tests result in the penetration tester being able to prove without a doubt that the vulnerabilities that are found will lead to a significant loss of revenue unless properly addressed. Think of the impact that you would have if […]

Difference between JavaScript and Java

Although JavaScript’s name appears to connote a close relationship with Java, JavaScript and Java are actually very different. One important difference is support for object-oriented programming. Although JavaScript is sometimes said to be an object-oriented language, its object model is quite different from that of Java and C++.

In fact, JavaScript does not support the object-oriented software development paradigm. Java is a strongly typed language. Types are all known at compile time, and operand types are checked for compatibility. Variables in JavaScript need not be declared and are dynamically typed, making compile-time type checking impossible. One more important difference between Java […]

Ruby Programming Language

Why Ruby?

Intrusion Detection System (IDS)

An intrusion detection system (IDS) is a system used to detect unauthorized intrusions into computer systems and networks. Intrusion detection as a technology is not new, it has been used for generations to defend valuable resources. Kings, emperors, and nobles who had wealth used it in rather an interesting way. They built castles and palaces on tops of mountains and sharp cliffs with observation towers to provide them with a clear overview of the lands below where they could detect any attempted intrusion ahead of time and defend themselves.

Empires and kingdoms grew and collapsed based on how well intrusions from […]

Asus ZenFone Zoom S Review

Fitting smartphones with two camera sensors around back seem to be the go-to strategy for pretty much every smartphone manufacturer today.

However, having a companion sensor to the primary one can have tangible benefits, whether it might be for zooming into your subject, gauging depth, getting a wider shot, or just improving the quality of your photo.

The first ZenFone Zoom (Review) from Asus was quite an achievement as it managed to […]

Holo for Android and iOS Is a Fun Augmented Reality Camera App

Nearly four years ago, the bundled camera app on the Sony’s flagship smartphone of the year included an interesting feature: an Augmented Reality mode that allowed you to add virtual objects to your photos, such as a T-Rex walking around in the palm of your hand.
