Today, I will be talking about network monitoring for home users. It's rather easy to monitor your network lately, thanks to the variety of network monitoring software around...

1 Virtual Machines & How to set one up with Virtualbox

Virtual Machines are guest operating systems which are installed in a host operating system. Think of it as a secondary operating system in your computer, and you can run it at the same time with your operating system. The biggest function of virtual machines is the fact that they're isolated from the host (primary OS), which means they are in no means related. The reason why everyone uses virtual machines is simply because you can have different operating systems on your computer without changing your preferred operating system. This comes handy for people who have programs which aren't compatible with Windows 7, people who need to use Linux...

Fun fact, these tablets also come with keyboards which actually, in my eyes, make them no different than a usual laptop/netbook with the exception of having a worse processor, limited things you can do compared to an usual laptop, and high price. Of course we can't just say netbooks are the same as tablets just because they share the...
