study of hardware components of computers,what does comptia has yahoo got to offer as merits and demerits of such studies?

If you are interested in a computer science or IT field, the Comp TIA A+ is the first step of study. A+ certification covers PC hardware and Operating Systems. This certification indicates that you have adequate knowledge for employment as an entry level PC technician. \n\nYour next step should be Network +.

Wise ones go for Computers unless ur in the semiconductor industry

How about the history of the computer, going into the early competition between Apple and Microsoft? There's info all over the 'Net on this.

disagree.  even in this very computer-oriented world, not everyone uses a computer. every once in a blue moon something arrives that is actually interesting. as for all the rest, it goes into the recycling bin at my house.  we may not be saving a tree, but we are nonetheless trying to save mother earth.

My husband has no formal education in computers and he has worked on them for about 4 years now.  He runs into people that are A+ certified and says that they "act" like the know everything about computers when really they're ignorant jerks.  Just don't be like that and I think you'll be fine.

I've bought hundreds of PCs over the years, including scores from Micron, Dell, HP/Compaq... even half a dozen e-machines.  My experience has been that Dell's support was excellent.  They overnighted the parts every single time (which was seldom since they build pretty good systems).  HP/Compaq-- constant headaches, multiple failures, terrible tech support.  Don't even consider an e-machine unless you're looking for a boat anchor.\nAs for Micron, I can't comment on their tech support.  I ran about 75 of their machines for three years.  I never once had a hardware failure.

Okay, here I go:\n1) Studies show that the general public cannot discern the quality of the two search engines.  However, Yahoo! is still seen (Ad Age) as offering a wider variety of practical services and this would be the main 'thing' that Yahoo! is doing over Google.  Also, Yahoo! offers a direct link to a human-sorted directory, which many novice web users may find attractive.\n2. Google's mapping technology was for time regarded as superior.  It allowed for multi-point trips (for example, you could get the directions from your house, to the museum, then the symphony hall, then back all at once, not one leg at a time).  It also allowed users to plot things like service stations on a graphically superior topographic or satellite map.  However, Yahoo! Maps Beta now offers many of these features and may have been introduced in sufficient time to win back past users who may have been starting to switch to Google.  MapQuest also offers strong competition because of its percieved easy of use and easily accessible practical features.\n3. Many consumers have yet to discover a need for desktop search clients, as the average harddrive is relatively small (compared to, say for example, the Internet) and most consumers (Ad Age) would agree with the statement that they keep their primary files relatively maintained.  However, I would venture to say that Google Desktop has a slight advantage insofar that it is free and usually comes bundled with antivirus software, mapping programs and other freebies consumers want.  However, Windows Vista has a feature called Virtual Directories which are essentially constantly running searches.  I.E You would setup a Virtual Directory called 'Latin Spice!' and it would automatically display every Latin dance MP3 on your computer in the 'directory', regardless of where the files are actually located.  This may make desktop searching software essentially outdated, but it remains to be seen.\n4. Another issue is Google's notorious secrecy.  Although it was bemussing back when they were a 'garage corporation', now that their 'playing' with billions of investors dollars and not the family toolshed, investors want to know whats going on.  Of course there's going to need to be some secrecy lest they leak out ideas to competitors, but overall Google has been slammed for a lack of a definate business plan, and overall direction for the firm.  Case in point, it was speculated that Google would reveal as Google-PC running Google software at C3 this year.  Such wild speculations and twists leads to investor unease.  Also, they are entering into the video market.  I'm not quite sure what the motivation for this was, as they are (at the moment) clearly no match for iTunes powerful video database.  Also, Google fails to advertise these features to the public relying instead (and I believe too heavily at times) on gossip and internet chatter.  Such channels are insufficient for the casual internet user to take advantage of.  Case in point again, many users would be surprised to find out you can ask Google simple questions even over SMS on your cellphone without an Internet browser.  However, Google's AdSense program, though relatively new, gives Yahoo! Search Marketing (formerly Overture) quite a run for its money.  Yahoo! Search Marketing is seen as less attractive to the 'common man' wanting to go into online advertisement because (although they are optional costs) it makes it appear as though large setup fees and ongoing charges are required.  Google's AdSense seems to almost be tailored to small business and large alike, with only a $5 setup fee, more flexible use of what they call 'campains' and an arguably larger viewer base.  Also, Google makes it easier to exapand the AdSense viewing public by allowing even runners of small or personal sites to display the ads, whereas Yahoo! Search Marketing has a more rigourous site requirement

dothan is bad.  pentium centrino is pretty good enough.

Look at IBM, Intel and AMD's R&D sections and educational links? Or look at Nature's Physics Materials Science may be?

no the hardware is fine but over the years your computer will inevitably slow as you build up addditional tasks for it to perfrom and basicallyslowly currpot and or personlize i, thi sis easily repared by system restoring it to its origional purchase date it will literally act like its brand-new

as computor science progressess in the world, and different educational establishments have different criteria, i suggest you select one geared more to the mechanical side of computors, as repair of systems provides a more secure future, based on what operates today needs repairing tommorrow

yahoo and google are competing companies, so why would yahoo offer google desktop for download? also, why don't you check out yahoo downloads for yourself, to see what you've missed??

Computer System & Networking will give you a good understanding of computer hardware and computer networking. You will know how to trouble shoot hardware, software, and network related problems. However, if you would really like to learn about all the inner workingsof a computer and how they inner relate to one another then I would suggest pursuing something in Computer Science or Computer Engineering. In my personal opinion this would be a better choice.

Compaq desktops are pretty standard these days allowing a variety of aftermarket devices to be installed and parts exchanged. I too remember when Compaq used a lot of strange ways to ensure that you could only repair or upgrade their equipment with Compaq branded spares.
