Apple just announced that it is discontinuing the only iPod it still sells – the iPod Touch. With this, Apple no longer sells products that single-handedly changed the music industry and established Apple in the music industry.   This news has brought the popularity of the device to the forefront and a quick eBay search will tell you that people are really taking advantage of it.   If you either have your old iPod laying around or if you managed to buy one of the older models recently, you should definitely look into turning it back on and perhaps updating your music collection on it.  An old iPod that you haven’t turned on in a few years acts almost like a time capsule, taking you back to the music you listened to back in the day. Perhaps you were a teenager or even an aspiring fitness enthusiast or a dance enthusiast — you will likely meet your past self as you scroll through the library.  The iPod touch comes with Wifi and so you can get the Music ap...

One of the greatest innovations of the current time is Universal Serial Bus or USB. It allows for data to transfer, store, and access anytime and anywhere. Additionally,  USB data cable  are highly recommended while transferring or storing data among friends, families, or any other gatherings. Let's understand how to use these data cables: Most of the USB cables connect computer units directly to peripheral devices like mobile phones, cameras, camcorders, and printers/scanners. The main objective of these devices is to transfer data hassle-free, quickly, and effectively from one device to another. For example, if you want to transfer images from your camera to a computer, all you need to do is connect the one end of the USB data to the camera and another to the computer or laptop. Just with some simple clicks on the computer and camera, you will easily be able to transfer it. Your computer and camera both will notify you that the data cable is connected. All you need...

When it comes to connecting accessories to computers, it is not always with a USB to USB cable. Even after the invention of the USB standard, the various types of serial connectors stayed. Everything did not immediately switch to USB entirely. This is when manufacturers started to find a middle ground because they did not want their accessory to be useless (or, out of time) in a short time. So, they started making devices that could connect to a computer via its USB port while the device itself retains its serial port. They shipped their device with a USB to serial adapter . These cables and chips are low cost. So, when you try to connect any device using these, you might face issues because, along with the cheaper hardware, there is usually also an issue of driver compatibility. As this USB to serial adapter cables are supposed to be for short term use, they are not made with future software in mind, or even more than one software (in terms of Operating System) in mind. You are ...

How USB Cables Are At Risk? In case you are not aware of it, the USB ports on your devices entail a crucial security point. There are major hac...

USB cables have gone through some revolutionary phases to facilitate data connectivity and transfer. Known as Universal Serial Bus, USB cables came to existence in 1995. Since then they have brought evolution to USB enabled devices. The invention of USB cables transformed the way we use computers and other related products. Because of the huge dent they created in the IT industry, their development process picked up a stable pace. Starting from USB1.1 standard to the time when we all can recall the USB 3.0 standard got a whole new identity in a form of USB 3.1 Gen 1. Well, now you can expect the same level of upgradation in USB cables. Upcoming USB 3.2 standard will contain the features of USB 3.0 and USB 3.1. Synopsis demonstrated the first ever USB-C Gen 3.2 USB cable in 2018. If you're tech-savvy, you might remember another host of names for USB-C. However, this standard will materialize on devices later this year. USB Implementers Forum (USB-IF) announc...

The technology evolution is a dynamic process. It evolves day by day with new twists and turns. For instance, ever since we had USB cables and ports, they made our life easier with steady growth throughout the years. Back in the days, when USB ports didn’t exist, Pentium or Pentium II ports saved us. You will likely remember having multiple colored ports to deal with! And how can we not remember PS/2 connector or serial port to connect a mouse and keyboard? I am sure you must have remembered about having to hook up those bulk printers and scanners with parallel ports and metal clamps. Here we can clearly say that without the revolution of USB ports, we’d still be dealing with those serial connectors in the same old fashion.  USB cables  and ports achieved a great transformation for the past two decades. But do you ever wonder from where it all began? Today, let’s roll back to 1990s when the USB was invented first… USB 1.1 -The Beginning The first ever USB version U...
