Consider the scenario of an admin wanting to perform a backup of operating system files.

Consider the scenario of an admin wanting to perform a backup of operating system files. Question:

Be careful:
I recommend you use specialist backup software. |
You probably want to try Server Fault for this sort of question. That said, I suspect you'll need some proper backup software, as simply copying your windows directory won't really achieve what you're after. |
The C:\Windows folder contains files additional to core Window files. Some programs would add files to this folder such as screensaver files. If you are backuping up the OS, u will also need to backup some folders in C:\program files\ such as Common Files. You may also need c:\Documents and Settings folder (but can use All Users folder to backup if you want minimum - and these can be stuff like lnk files and avoid temp folders) |
No - C:\Windows may also contain files from a previous Windows install. In such cases C:\WinNT may contain the current OS files. The environment variable %SystemRoot% will tell you where the currently running Windows version stores its files. |
Why do you want to backup operating system files? It makes sense to either backup documents, setups or complete drive image. If you tell what you want to achieve from this backup may be people can suggest you better way then trying to backup just operating system files. |
Be aware that some older applications will also place files in the Windows folder, or sub-folders. Those will mostly be DLLs but may be others, such as INI files. |

Although the property appears to be good one but need maintenance. Hospitality,services & food quality was excellent but surroundings of the rooms need cleanliness. Blankets provided in the rooms gives us feeling like we travelling in A.C. rail compartments. Good quality blankets should be provided also. Other things are good.

We stayed here for 6 nights during April school vacation week (not crowded at all). Beautiful hotel, the lobby was pristine and had lots of seating that overlooked the water. Breakfast was great, a hot and cold continental breakfast (you couldn't ask for more). Freshly baked cookies in the afternoon and coffee and tea was always available. We had a 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom suite overlooking the ocean and it was fantastic. The kitchen which was also handy. The balcony was private so we really enjoyed sitting out there. We even saw dolphins one afternoon. I think that the location of the hotel was perfect, everything was was close by. You definitely need a car in Myrtle Beach, but you would need that no matter where you stayed. The parking is covered which is a plus. The hotel staff was always friendly and professional. I would highly recommend this hotel.

ABSTRACT: Iron-containing imidazolium-based ionic liquids were successfully applied as catalysts in the styrene polymerization. Solventless conditions, organic solvents and different imidazolium-based ionic liquid catalysts were tested to evaluate the best reaction conditions. The ionic liquids BMI.FeCl4 and BMI.Fe2Cl7 showed very distinct catalytic activities. Schulz–Flory distributions indicate two or three active catalytic species in different distributions. Via on-line direct infusion electrospray (tandem) mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(/MS)) reaction monitoring, both active catalytic species in accordance with the Schulz–Flory distributions were intercepted and characterized, providing important mechanistic insights that allowed us to propose a rationale for the origin of the superior catalytic efficiency.Catalysis Communications 03/2015; 63. · 3.32 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A series of new rationale designed 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) fluorescent derivatives has been synthesized and applied for cellular selective staining of cancer cells in cell-imaging experiments. Four new synthesized BTD derivatives showed only poor or reasonable cellular selection, but with excellent fluorescence intensity and almost no background signal emitting at the blue or green channels. The knowledge gained by analysing their molecular architecture, however, allowed the planning and synthesis of a fluorescent BTD, which was then successfully tested and showed superior mitochondrial selection with outstanding results in bioimaging experiments in living cells. The new marker (named Splendor) was then compared with the commercially available MitoTracker Red (also through co-staining experiments) and showed far better mitochondrial selection, fluorescence intensity and chemical stability. Mitochondrial imaging and tracking (dynamic changes) was possible using Splendor during the whole cellular division cycle. DFT calculations were performed to offer insights into the origin of the chemical- and photostability of BTD derivatives. In addition, molecular docking calculations hint at a potential molecular target for the BTD derivatives in the mitochondrial protein adenine nucleotide translocase, which may explain the mitochondrial selectivity of Splendor versus the other four BTD derivatives.Chemistry - A European Journal 10/2014; · 5.93 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The current manuscript describes the importance, mechanism propositions, evidence and controversies associated with multicomponent reactions (MCRs). The following multicomponent reactions are presented and critically evaluated: The Biginelli, Hantzsch, Mannich, Passerini and Ugi reactions. THE AIM OF THIS REVIEW IS TO HIGHLIGHT WHAT WE ALREADY KNOW ABOUT THE MECHANISMS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE MCRS AND THE EVIDENCE SUPPORTING THE PROPOSED REACTION PATHWAYS. CONTROVERSIES AND PROSPECTS ARE ALSO DISCUSSED HEREIN.RSC Advances 10/2014; · 3.71 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The bioactive 3,4-dihydropyrimidin-2(1H)-thione derivative known as Monastrol was synthesized under catalyzed and non-catalyzed conditions through the Biginelli multicomponent reaction under solvent-free conditions. The use of two Lewis acids (FeCl 3 and CuCl 2 ) and two Brønsted acids (HCl and CF 3 COOH) as catalysts improved the reaction yields of the transformation compared with the non-catalyzed reaction. The experiments investigated catalysis and its role, the importance of multicomponent reactions and their green features, and the application of these concepts to the synthesis of a biologically important structure.Química Nova 09/2014; 37(10):1713. · 0.66 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel lipophilic fluorescent small-molecule 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole derivative (named here as BTD-AO) was designed, synthesized, characterized and applied as a live cell-imaging probe. Its cellular uptake and cellular dynamics at low temperature (4 °C) using MDA-MB-237 were investigated. Confocal bioimages revealed that the new bioprobe was capable of easily transposing the cell-membrane at low temperatures and also revealed the dynamics of BTD-AO over time. BTD-AO had a high affinity for vesicles (lipid droplets) and had its subcellular location precisely determined during its migration in the cells.Chemical Science 07/2014; · 8.60 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A novel Pd-complex with a charge tag (imidazolium cation) was applied for online monitoring of the neutral Heck reaction by electrospray ionization (tandem) mass spectrometry – ESI-MS(/MS). The results shed light on the mechanism of the reaction, whereas the charge-tagged ligand also allowed the unprecedented MS monitoring of Pd2+ reduction to Pd0. Key reaction intermediates associated with Pd catalysis could also be detected and characterized due to the presence of the charge tag on the Pd-complex. DFT calculations supported the proposed mechanism. The new charge-tagged Pd-complex is also shown to function as an active catalyst "on water" with the advantage of using cheaper and less reactive aryl chloride substrates in a phosphine-free version of the Heck reaction.New Journal of Chemistry 06/2014; 38(7). · 3.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Using a set of different techniques, which included single crystal X-ray, NMR, UV−vis, conductivity measurements, SAXS (small angle X-rays), ESI-MS(/MS) (electrospray (tandem) mass spectrometry), and theoretical calculations, an ample study of the structural organization and supramolecular interaction of the task-specific ionic liquid 1-methyl-3-carboxymethylimidazolium chloride (named MAI.Cl) was conducted. All techniques allowed for comprehensive investigation in the solid state, solution, and gas-phase behavior of MAI.Cl. Most relevant interactions are demonstrated showing the importance of hydrogen bonding to supramolecular organization of MAI.Cl in different states and its tendency to aggregate in aqueous solutions.The Journal of Physical Chemistry C 06/2014; 118:17878−17889. · 4.84 Impact Factor - ChemInform 05/2014; 70(20):3306–3313.

ABSTRACT: Two new benzothiadiazole-triazole-linked lapachone derivatives were designed, synthesized and characterized by 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy. Their photophysical properties were also investigated. Theoretical calculations (DFT), based on the molecular design of the new compounds, allowed a better understanding of the derivatives' stability and behaviour, especially in the excited state. This manuscript also describes a discussion on the molecular architecture which is based on two substitutions at positions 4- and 7- of the important 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole (BTD) core. One side is replaced by a group capable of performing an ESIPT (excited-state intramolecular proton transfer) stabilizing process, and the other side is substituted by a triazole-containing group. This triazole ring acts as the linker between the BTD core and a group of known antitumoral activity i.e. a nor-β-lapachone derivative. These novel fluorescent compounds had their biological activities evaluated against twenty cancer cell lines and three normal cells with promising results. Finally, due to their interesting photophysical properties and good fluorescence, bioimaging experiments were conducted, and these dyes were tested as fluorescent cell-imaging probes, thus showing their preferable cellular location in MDA-MB-231 cancer cells (a breast-invasive cancer-cell lineage).New Journal of Chemistry 05/2014; 38(6). · 3.16 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The use of a charge-tagged acrylate derivative bearing an imidazolium tag to study the Morita-Baylis-Hillman reaction via ESI-MS(/MS) monitoring and the effect of such tag (imidazolium cations and ion pairs) over TS is described. The ionic nature of the substrate was meant to facilitate ESI transfer to the gas phase for direct mass spectrometric analysis. The detection and characterization of charged intermediates has suggested major reaction pathways. DFT calculations considering the effect of a polar and protic solvent (methanol), polar and aprotic solvent (acetonitrile) and of no-solvent (gas phase) were used to predict possible TS through a common accepted intermediate. The controversial proton transfer step, which may proceed via Aggarwal's or McQuade's proposals, was evaluated. Calculations predicted the formation of electrostatic intermediate complexes with both the cation and anion when charge-tagged reagents are used. These complexes contribute to the positive ionic liquid effect and, based on the formation of these unique complexes, a rationale for the ionic liquid effect is proposed. Moreover, it pointed to a plausible explanation for the positive ionic liquid effect observed in several reactions that are difficult to be carried out in organic solvents but have shown a beneficial effect when performed in ionic liquids.The Journal of Organic Chemistry 05/2014; · 4.64 Impact Factor - [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The current manuscript describes the role and importance of catalysis and solvent effects for the Biginelli multicomponent reaction. The overwhelming number of new catalysts and conditions recently published for the Biginelli synthesis, including in some manuscripts entitled "catalyst-free" and/or "solvent-free" have incentivized controversies and hot debates regarding the importance of developing new catalysts and reaction conditions to perform this very important multicomponent reaction. These so-called "catalyst-free" reports have generated much confusion in the field, therefore requiring urgent elucidations. In this manuscript, we exemplify, demystify and discuss the crucial role of catalysis, solvent effects, mechanisms, kinetics, facts, presumptions and myths associated with the Biginelli reaction aiming to avoid current and future confusions; and to stimulate new approaches.The Journal of Organic Chemistry 03/2014; · 4.64 Impact Factor -
Article: ESIPT or not ESIPT? Revisiting recent results on 2,1,3-benzothiadiazole under the TD-DFT light
[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Recently, the spectroscopic signatures of amino-substituted benzothiadiazoles were investigated by complementary experimental and theoretical approaches [Neto et al., RSC Adv., 2012, 2, 1524-1532]. It was concluded that these molecules were exhibiting excited-state intramolecular proton transfer. In this communication, we revisit these results using a state-of-the-art time-dependent density functional theory approach which provides a complete explanation to the spectroscopic observations.RSC Advances 01/2014; 4(27):14189. · 3.71 Impact Factor - ChemInform 12/2013; 44(49).

[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The mechanism of the Ugi four-component reaction has been investigated by electrospray ionization (tandem) mass spectrometry using charge-tagged reagents (a carboxylic acid or an amine) to favour detection. Key intermediates were transferred directly via ESI(+) from the reaction solution to the gas phase and characterized by MS measurements and MS/MS collision induced dissociation. The Mumm rearrangement (final step) was also investigated by both travelling wave ion mobility mass spectrometry and DFT calculations. The data seem to consolidate the amazingly selective mechanism of this intricate four-component reaction.Chemical Communications 11/2013; · 6.38 Impact Factor -

Special events directors coordinate special events for clients or organizations. They may work for a single company, planning events that might serve as direct marketing or raise money or awareness for their brand, among other potential purposes. They might also work at hotels, tourist attractions, and similar locations to help customers plan events such as weddings and parties.
Read More...Survey takers who work as Special Events Directors usually report a few specific skills. Most notably, facility with Project Management and Event Management are correlated to pay that is significantly above average, leading to increases of 26 percent and 4 percent, respectively. At the other end of the pay range are skills like Fundraising. Those proficient in Event Management are, more often than not, also skilled in Fundraising.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Experience seems to be a major factor in determining the incomes of Special Events Directors. Special Events Directors in the early stages of their careers take home approximately $47K on average. The average for people in the five-to-10 year group is only a little larger at $54K. After working for 10 to 20 years, Special Events Directors make a median salary of $66K. Special Events Directors who have spent more than 20 years on the job report earning a significantly higher median of $79K.
Special Events Directors will find that New York offers an impressive pay rate, one which exceeds the national average by 54 percent. Special Events Directors will also find cushy salaries in Denver (+36 percent), Los Angeles (+11 percent), Chicago (+10 percent), and Washington (+9 percent). The lowest-paying market is Austin, which sits 22 percent below the national average, proving that location is a significant contributor to overall pay.

New chapter CIO 2020 in HP's "crowd sourced" Enterprise 2020 vision of the future
Are you in the "cloud will get rid of IT operations" camp, or are you more of a "cloud, like all hype from the computing industry, will not fundamentally change the data centre of 2020"?
We at HP are "crowd sourcing" a vision of the world in 2020. We have broken the vision into a series of chapters. We are publishing a chapter roughly every month. Once a chapter is published, we encourage anyone and everyone to go to the web site and comment on the chapter. We then use the comments to update the chapter.
On August 19th, we published the initial version of the "CIO 2020" chapter - a chapter that puts forward a vision for the IT department of 2020.
It may come as a surprise to some that "CIO 2020" talks about more than just cloud. What are your views on …
- SaaS-ing all of your company's non-core applications and business processes (we believe that this will have happened by 2020)
- Having all dev and test environments sourced from the cloud (we believe that will also have happened by 2020. The question is, "what will PaaS look like in 2020 - will PaaS-es be so powerful and easy to use that they are the default for most applications?")
- Having a huge increase in the number of "smart things", like cars, washing machines, toothbrushes, bikes, and factories (we believe that this will happen by 2020)
- Most Enterprises becoming SaaS providers, often providing back-end cloud services for their "smart things" (we believe that this will also happen by 2020 - it is already starting to happen)
- Supporting the decrease in the number of direct employees in Enterprises and the rise of the "super temp" in order to create Enterprise-led project teams made up of mosaics of different companies (for example, the opening and closing ceremonies for the London 2012 Olympic Games were created by hundreds of companies all working together)
- Gaining insight from the mass of unstructured data that is "out there" (we believe that this will also happen - it's one of the reasons HP acquired Autonomy)
- Bring your own device, BYOD, and the demand from the business that browser interfaces are not good enough and that every application must run on iOS (phone and tablet), Android (phone and tablet), laptops (Windows and Mac) and SmartTV (this is, of course, already happening, but we think that it will be the default for most applications by 2020)
Please feel free to go to the Enterprise 2020 web site, select the CIO 2020 chapter and comment to your hearts' content.

2011 BMW 1 Series M 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
I have owned many different cars from nearly every major manufacturer and this car is, by far, the most fun to drive.
It is almost as exciting to drive as the Gallardo I drove in Vegas, and this car I can actually own (and do).
It is in it's break-in period, but it is still a blast to drive through back roads.
Averaging about 20/21 mpg currently.

2011 BMW 1 Series M 2dr Coupe (3.0L 6cyl Turbo 6M)
Picked up with Euro delivery in Munich, now back in states.
Germans went nuts over this car (Valencia Orange probably helped!) and was great fun to drive on the Autobahn and at the Nurburgring.
Traded in a 2009 M3 and I prefer this car despite the fact that Randy Pobst "hates it!"
For people like me that have driven on the track with fast cars Porsch GT3 and the M3,eg) but are no way race drivers this car rocks.
Looks have been criticized, but looks butch to me and the general public seems to agree.
No auto means few posers and limited production means I have only seen one other on the street (in white).
Only changes I would like:
better plastics, more aggressive factory tune>

The world is a complicated place. Every day we're all expected to navigate, learn and perform more and more detailed tasks just to keep up. Think about all the things you've been asked to do today: turn on the power, subscribe to the latest news, download the attachment, click for more information. You'll have to form a line, order here, then recycle your empty bottle. Just making a phone call now requires some fairly complex navigation and choices. And yet we all manage to understand and follow these detailed instructions, whether we speak English, Russian or Urdu.
Most of the time, you don't get these instructions in words. Icons, ideograms and pictograms do the job of representing the tasks and steps required of us to get through our busy days. A simple picture tells you how to send a message, and if it's created well enough, you will understand and begin using it without needing any text. Icons tell us the difference between arrivals and departures at the airport and men and women at the restroom.
A good icon must be clear and simple. Designing something that is both is difficult and time consuming. Clarity and simplicity are artforms that must be mastered. The simplest pictogram requires a vast understanding of how people understand symbols and metaphors. An icon designer must be a skilled illustrator and a deft communicator.
iStock's Illustrators have been doing an admirable job supplying graphic designers around the world with icons they need to help people understand what needs understanding. We asked two of the best we have to share a few thoughts on the challenges of pictorial communication.
Tom Nulens (sodafish) and Scott Dunlap (scottdunlap) are two of our most talented and successful icon designers here at iStock. You've probably seen and clicked on their work without even realizing it. They've both mastered the complex and demanding art of making things simple enough that anyone, anywhere, can understand.
How did you get interested in designing icons and ideograms?
scottdunlap I was designing a brochure and couldn't find what I needed, so I created it myself. I was drawn to the challenge of distilling an idea down to a single, simple glyph. At the time I was already contributing photos to iStock, so I applied to become an illustrator and an obsession was born.
sodafish It's the combination of interest and commercial opportunity. Since studying graphic design I started to get passionate about simplicity and minimalism. After graduating, the demand for icon designs by clients went in crescendo, driven by the birth of digital media and devices. This encouraged me to focus more on this discipline. Having the possibility to combine my initial design interest with commercial opportunities was an evident decision. Seeing how some of my designs became quite successful here on stock only confirmed this was the right direction for me.
What other kind of design and illustration experience do you draw on when you create an icon?
sodafish I use a combination of skills in the process. After the search for a suitable metaphor, I start analyzing the real-world object to translate it into a reduced 2D visualization. This process of creative abstraction might be the most important. For me, a simple sketchbook works quite well for that. From there on I blindly rely on my background on general design principles, to give a balanced and modern styling to the icon. Composing form and color in a correct way will not only make an icon more appealing but can accentuate elements that improve the overall readability. For me, following past and present design trends are essential, it will be reflected into my designs and can give it a more unique or contemporary feeling. I was always taught it will be hard to make something new when you're not aware of what is old.
scottdunlap Where to start? My design background has a huge influence on my iconography. I usually design by subtraction, removing unnecessary items until I'm left with what's truly important. I am definitely a minimalist at heart. There's too much distraction in our lives', and especially on our computers and mobile devices. So designing clear, simple icons comes naturally to me.
Then there are universal elements of design that I draw upon: color theory, the rule of thirds, symmetry, accessibility, and so on. Basic things like proper kerning and leading of type teach you about whitespace and flow and consistency. Probably the most important trait is that designers are problem-solvers. Designing simple icons is anything but simple!
What kind of information is an icon best suited to communicating?
scottdunlap I'm not sure there is an easy answer. Icons can represent actions, objects, or ideas, and they can represent either simple or complex concepts. That said, there are definitely challenging subjects to convey using icons. These usually end up with an arbitrary icon where the relationship has to be learned. Think of the symbols for male and female, radioactivity, or the command key on mac keyboards. There is very little that is intrinsic in these icons.
sodafish Pictograms are used more than ever and play an important role in today's communication design. When there is not enough space for clarifying words or when it has to be understood in multiple languages and cultures, an icon can be a perfect solution. It's a universal language. In more complex circumstances it can also be faster to read an icon than it is to read written type. In some places we simply expect a visual form of communication. It's hard to imagine an airport or a public restroom without the informing pictograms, they have simply proved their usefulness.
What is the most challenging aspect of designing something that delivers a clear, recognizable message?
sodafish The process of reduction. Translating an object or situation into a stylish, minimal form. All elements that don't contribute to the clarification of the icon are superfluous. They will only have a negative impact on the readability of the symbol. Creating something simple and clear can be quite hard, and that's exactly what makes it so challenging to me.
scottdunlap I can never know the end user—they could be a grandmother in Japan or a toddler in the U.S.—so I need to make my work as universal as possible. But I also have to make sure they don't become too generic, or they risk becoming vague. Designing stock icons can be even more difficult, because it is impossible to know how they will be used. It could be for a website, application, printed piece, presentation, a way-finding project, or multiple other scenarios.
What do you need to keep in mind in order to make a single icon communicate across cultural and language barriers?
scottdunlap Use metaphors that are universal and constantly question your assumptions. Realize we all experience cultural bias to some extent.
sodafish I think it's important to use a global metaphor, which is recognizable by the largest group. And the use of a more generic styling will also have a positive impact. It might be less sexy or fashionable, but it will benefit the readability over different cultures. The process of reduction remains essential. Minimal form can have maximal impact.
Describe your dream project. If you could have your pick of clients to create a set of icons for, who and what would it be?
sodafish The 2016 Olympic games sport pictograms. It's a major event, seen worldwide. And the elements will need to be part of the overall visual identity. That would really be something worth working on and a big creative challenge.
scottdunlap This will come as no surprise: Apple. I started using their products when I was 13 years old and have been hooked ever since. Their attention to detail is unmatched, and it's surprising they haven't slipped as they've become so large. Right now I am working on an iPhone app, and I'd love to work on the interface for one of their bundled apps, as well as the app icon. Being on the home screen of every iPhone and iPad would be gratifying and a little bit surreal.

Get the kids in the Olympic spirit with this simple and rewarding craft: personalized medals.
What you need
- any kind of round plastic lid (yogurt, margarine, sour cream, etc.) or paper circle for younger children
- paint brush
- acrylic paint in gold, silver and bronze (or yellow, grey and orange)
- glitter glue
- tape (preferably duct or something nice and sticky)
- hair dryer (to speed up drying process--optional)
1. Working on a space you don't mind messing up, lay out your lid with the flattest surface facing up. aint your medal to your liking. This may take a couple layers.
*Use a hairdryer to speed up drying process. A solid base will show off your glitter design the best but use your imagination!
2. Once the paint dries, it's time to add the glitter. This is a great opportunity to practice your letters, numbers or shapes and even colours. Is it your name you want to see sparkling? Is it a first place gold, a second place silver or a third bronze? What about the Olympic rings? Make sure they are in order: blue, black and red on top and yellow and green on the bottom.
3. To hang your medal, drape the string or ribbon around your neck, measuring the length before cutting. Make sure it is long enough for your medal to be pulled over your head (around the center of your chest). Flip the lid over to the unfinished side and tape both ends securely.
4. After all of that hard work its time to show off your creation. Stand tall and wear your medal with pride!

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A personal digital assistant (PDA), also known as a handheld PC, or personal data assistant,[1][2] is a mobile device that functions as a personal information manager. The term evolved from Personal Desktop Assistant, a software term for an application that prompts or prods the user of a computer with suggestions or provides quick reference to contacts and other lists. PDAs were discontinued in early 2010s after the widespread adoption of smartphones.[3]
Nearly all PDAs have the ability to connect to the Internet. A PDA has an electronic visual display, enabling it to include a web browser, all models also have audio capabilities enabling use as a portable media player, and also enabling most of them to be used as mobile phones. Most PDAs can access the Internet, intranets or extranets via Wi-Fi or Wireless Wide Area Networks. Most PDAs employ touchscreen technology.
The first PDA was released in 1984 by Psion, the Organizer. Followed by Psion's Series 3, in 1991, which began to resemble the more familiar PDA style. It also had a full keyboard.[4][5] The term PDA was first used on January 7, 1992 by Apple Computer CEO John Sculley at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada, referring to the Apple Newton.[6] In 1994, IBM introduced the first PDA with full mobile phone functionality, the IBM Simon, which can also be considered the first smartphone. Then in 1996, Nokia introduced a PDA with full mobile phone functionality, the 9000 Communicator, which became the world's best-selling PDA. The Communicator spawned a new category of PDAs: the "PDA phone", now called "smartphone". Another early entrant in this market was Palm, with a line of PDA products which began in March 1996.
A typical PDA has a touchscreen for entering data, a memory card slot for data storage, and IrDA, Bluetooth and/or Wi-Fi. However, some PDAs may not have a touch screen, using softkeys, a directional pad, and a numeric keypad or a thumb keyboard for input; this is typically seen on telephones that are incidentally PDAs.
In order to have the functions expected of a PDA, a device's software typically includes an appointment calendar, a to-do list, an address book for contacts, a calculator, and some sort of memo (or "note") program. PDAs with wireless data connections also typically include an email client and a Web browser.
Many of the original PDAs, such as the Apple Newton and Palm Pilot, featured a touchscreen for user interaction, having only a few buttons—usually reserved for shortcuts to often-used programs. Some touchscreen PDAs, including Windows Mobile devices, had a detachable stylus to facilitate making selections. The user interacts with the device by tapping the screen to select buttons or issue commands, or by dragging a finger (or the stylus) on the screen to make selections or scroll.
Typical methods of entering text on touchscreen PDAs include:
Despite rigorous research and development projects, end-users experience mixed results with handwriting recognition systems. Some find it frustrating and inaccurate, while others are satisfied with the quality of the recognition.[7]
Touchscreen PDAs intended for business use, such as the BlackBerry and Palm Treo, usually also offer full keyboards and scroll wheels or thumbwheels to facilitate data entry and navigation.
Many touchscreen PDAs support some form of external keyboard as well. Specialized folding keyboards, which offer a full-sized keyboard but collapse into a compact size for transport, are available for many models. External keyboards may attach to the PDA directly, using a cable, or may use wireless technology such as infrared or Bluetooth to connect to the PDA.
Newer PDAs, such as the HTC HD2, Apple iPhone, Apple iPod Touch, and Palm Pre, Palm Pre Plus, Palm Pixi, Palm Pixi Plus, Google Android (operating system) include more advanced forms of touchscreen that can register multiple touches simultaneously. These "multi-touch" displays allow for more sophisticated interfaces using various gestures entered with one or more fingers.
Although many early PDAs did not have memory card slots, now most have either some form of Secure Digital (SD) slot or a CompactFlash slot. Although designed for memory, Secure Digital Input/Output (SDIO) and CompactFlash cards are available that provide accessories like Wi-Fi or digital cameras, if the device can support them. Some PDAs also have a USB port, mainly for USB flash drives.[dubious ] Some PDAs use microSD cards, which are electronically compatible with SD cards, but have a much smaller physical size.
While early PDAs connected to a user's personal computer via serial ports or another proprietary connection,[specify] many today connect via a USB cable. Older PDAs were unable to connect to each other via USB, as their implementations of USB didn't support acting as the "host".
Some early PDAs were able to connect to the Internet indirectly by means of an external modem connected via the PDA's serial port or "sync" connector,[8] or directly by using an expansion card that provided an Ethernet port.
Most modern PDAs have Bluetooth, a popular wireless protocol for mobile devices. Bluetooth can be used to connect keyboards, headsets, GPS receivers, and other nearby accessories. It's also possible to transfer files between PDAs that have Bluetooth.
Many modern PDAs have Wi-Fi wireless network connectivity and can connect to Wi-Fi hotspots.[9] All smartphones, and some other modern PDAs, can connect to Wireless Wide Area Networks, such as those provided by cellular telecommunications companies.
Older PDAs from the 90s to 2006 typically had an IrDA (infrared) port allowing short-range, line-of-sight wireless communication. Few current models use this technology, as it has been supplanted by Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. IrDA allows communication between two PDAs, or between a PDA and any device with an IrDA port or adapter. Some printers have IrDA receivers,[10] allowing IrDA-equipped PDAs to print to them, if the PDA's operating system supports it. Universal PDA keyboards designed for these older PDAs use infrared technology.[citation needed] Infrared technology is low-cost and has the advantage of being allowed aboard.
Most PDAs can synchronize their data with applications on a user's computer. This allows the user to update contact, schedule, or other information on their computer, using software such as Microsoft Outlook or ACT!, and have that same data transferred to PDA—or transfer updated information from the PDA back to the computer. This eliminates the need for the user to update their data in two places.
Synchronization also prevents the loss of information stored on the device if it is lost, stolen, or destroyed. When the PDA is repaired or replaced, it can be "re-synced" with the computer, restoring the user's data.
Some users find that data input is quicker on their computer than on their PDA, since text input via a touchscreen or small-scale keyboard is slower than a full-size keyboard. Transferring data to a PDA via the computer is therefore a lot quicker than having to manually input all data on the handheld device.[citation needed]
Most PDAs come with the ability to synchronize to a computer. This is done through synchronization software provided with the handheld, or sometime with the computer's operating system. Examples of synchronization software include:
These programs allow the PDA to be synchronized with a personal information manager, which may be part of the computer's operating system, provided with the PDA, or sold separately by a third party. For example, the RIM BlackBerry comes with RIM's Desktop Manager program, which can synchronize to both Microsoft Outlook and ACT!.
Other PDAs come only with their own proprietary software. For example, some early Palm OS PDAs came only with Palm Desktop, while later Palm PDAs—such as the Treo 650—have the ability to sync to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Microsoft's ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center only synchronize with Microsoft Outlook or a Microsoft Exchange server.[citation needed]
Third-party synchronization software is also available for some PDAs from companies like CommonTime[11] and CompanionLink.[12] Third-party software can be used to synchronize PDAs to other personal information managers that are not supported by the PDA manufacturers (for example, GoldMine and IBM Lotus Notes).
Some PDAs can synchronize some or all of their data using their wireless networking capabilities, rather than having to be directly connected to a personal computer via a cable.
Apple iOS devices, like the iPhone, iPod Touch, and iPad, can use Apple's iCloud service (formerly MobileMe) to synchronize calendar, address book, mail account, Internet bookmark, and other data with one or more Macintosh or Windows computers using Wi-Fi or cellular data connections.[13]
Devices running Palm's webOS or Google's Android operating system primarily sync with the cloud. For example, if Gmail is used, information in contacts, email, and calendar can be synchronized between the phone and Google's servers.
RIM sells BlackBerry Enterprise Server to corporations so that corporate BlackBerry users can wirelessly synchronize their PDAs with the company's Microsoft Exchange Server, IBM Lotus Domino, or Novell GroupWise servers.[14] Email, calendar entries, contacts, tasks, and memos kept on the company's server are automatically synchronized with the BlackBerry.[15]
The most common operating systems pre-installed on PDAs are:
Other, rarely used operating systems:
Some PDAs include Global Positioning System (GPS) receivers; this is particularly true of smartphones. Other PDAs are compatible with external GPS-receiver add-ons that use the PDA's processor and screen to display location information.[18]
PDAs with GPS functionality can be used for automotive navigation. PDAs are increasingly being fitted as standard on new cars.
PDA-based GPS can also display traffic conditions, perform dynamic routing, and show known locations of roadside mobile radar guns. TomTom, Garmin, and iGO offer GPS navigation software for PDAs.
Some businesses and government organizations rely upon rugged PDAs, sometimes known as enterprise digital assistants (EDAs), for mobile data applications. EDAs often have extra features for data capture, such as barcode readers, radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers, magnetic stripe card readers, or smart card readers.
Typical applications include:

Many companies have developed PDA products aimed at the medical profession's unique needs, such as drug databases, treatment information, and medical news. Services such as AvantGo translate medical journals into PDA-readable formats. WardWatch organizes medical records, providing reminders of information such as the treatment regimens of patients to doctors making ward rounds. Pendragon and Syware provide tools for conducting research with, allowing the user to enter data into a centralized database using their PDA. Microsoft Visual Studio and Sun Java also provide programming tools for developing survey instruments on the handheld. These development tools allow for integration with SQL databases that are stored on the handheld and can be synchronized with a desktop- or server-based database.
PDAs have been shown to aid diagnosis and drug selection and some studies[who?] have concluded that when patients use PDAs to record their symptoms, they communicate more effectively with hospitals during follow-up visits.
The development of Sensor Web technology may lead to wearable bodily sensors to monitor ongoing conditions, like diabetes or epilepsy, which would alert patients and doctors when treatment is required using wireless communication and PDAs.

PDAs and handheld devices are allowed in many classrooms for digital note-taking. Students can spell-check, modify, and amend their class notes on a PDA. Some educators[who?] distribute course material through the Internet or infrared file-sharing functions of the PDA. Textbook publishers have begun to release e-books, which can be uploaded directly to a PDA, reducing the number of textbooks students must carry.[19]
Software companies have developed PDA programs to meet the instructional needs of educational institutions, such as dictionaries, thesauri, word processing software, encyclopedias, and digital lesson planners.
PDAs may be used by music enthusiasts to play a variety of music file formats. Many PDAs include the functionality of an MP3 player.
Road rally enthusiasts can use PDAs to calculate distance, speed, and time. This information may be used for navigation, or the PDA's GPS functions can be used for navigation.
Underwater divers can use PDAs to plan breathing gas mixtures and decompression schedules using software such as "V-Planner."

In sum, I would not be averse to using stylus input for routine "burst" entry on the MP2000.
I have used [handwriting recognition] for years, taking notes during lectures and often writing whole articles while on airplanes.

Anouk Teeuwe (born 8 April 1975), professionally known by the mononym Anouk, is a Dutch singer-songwriter and producer. After her breakthrough in 1997 with the single "Nobody's Wife", she had numerous hit singles in the Dutch and Belgian charts, such as "R U Kiddin' Me", "Michel", "Girl", "Lost", "Modern World", "Three Days in a Row" and "Woman".
Anouk has released eight studio albums to date, the most recent one being Sad Singalong Songs, released on 17 May 2013. She represented the Netherlands at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden, with the song "Birds". Her song made it to the final - the first since 2004 for the Netherlands; and finished in 9th place with 114 points.[1]
Anouk Teeuwe was born on 8 April 1975, in The Hague, Netherlands. As a teenager, she experimented with drugs and ended up living in several care homes after she ran away from her family at the age of fourteen.
Her interest in music was triggered through her mother, who was a blues singer. Anouk gave her first performance when she was fifteen years old and sang at weddings and parties with a band called Shotgun Wedding. She started attending the Rotterdam Conservatory in 1994 but dropped out two years later. In the same period, her then-husband and manager Edwin Jansen introduced Anouk to Golden Earring frontman Barry Hay. Hay believed her to have talent and offered to write some songs for her. One of those songs was "Mood Indigo"; written in collaboration with fellow Golden Earring member George Kooymans.
After she met Bart van Veen, her co-writer, the pair wrote a few songs. On 5 September 1997, she released her second single, "Nobody's Wife", which remained at the top of the Dutch music charts for a number of weeks and was also a hit in Norway and Sweden. Her debut album Together Alone turned out to be a huge success. In 1998, Anouk won two awards from Dutch music channel TMF in addition to an Edison Award. During the summer, she played at various festivals.
Her second album Urban Solitude was released in November 1999, and included the single "R U Kiddin' Me". This song reached the Dutch Top 100. Shortly afterwards, Anouk went to the United States to pursue a record deal. Negotiations with her American label (Sony) ended badly, causing her to return to the Netherlands without a deal. She released a new song, "Don't", and began touring the Netherlands in February 2001.
In March 2001, she released another album, Lost Tracks, which contained acoustic versions and B-sides from older songs, and various duets with K's Choice singer Sarah Bettens and The Anonymous Mis. She was awarded the Popprijs award in 2001.
In November 2002, the album Graduated Fool was released. This is the heaviest rock album in Anouk's career so far. Anouk received a Golden Harp in 2003.
The following full length release is called Hotel New York (2004) and yielded a total of four singles: "Girl", "Lost", "Jerusalem" and "One Word".
In 2006 she won the 3FM award for best Dutch female singer.[2]
In 2007, Anouk released Who's Your Momma, recorded with producer Glen Ballard. The first single, "Good God" was a success,[3] and became a playable song in the video game Guitar Hero World Tour in 2008.[4]
In 2009 she released her album For Bitter or Worse. The song "Three Days in a Row" reached the first place in the Dutch charts.
Anouk's album To Get Her Together was released in the Netherlands in May 2011. On 28 February 2011 Anouk placed one of the new tracks on YouTube named "Killer Bee". The first single of the album is called "Down & Dirty" and came out in April. On 27 June, Anouk released her single "I'm a Cliché". On 17 September 2011 "Save Me" was released as third single from the album. The fourth single is "What Have You Done". Anouk performed at the GelreDome in Arnhem for her To Get Her Together Tour on 8 and 11 March 2012.
Anouk reached the 9th place at the Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö, Sweden on 18 May 2013 with her song "Birds".[5]
The result was broadly seen in her home country as a major achievement, since it was the best result for the Netherlands in 14 years and the first time in 9 years that any Dutch artist even made it to the finals.[6]
Anouk first revealed taking part in the festival on Facebook on 17 October 2012, after negotiations with broadcaster TROS. Her song was officially revealed on 11 March 2013. Anouk performed "Birds" in the first semi-final on 14 May 2013, where she progressed to the final on 18 May 2013.
Anouk's musical style has been described as a combination of Joan Osborne, Melissa Etheridge and Alanis Morissette.[7] She is known for explosive rock songs like "Nobody's Wife" and "R U Kiddin' Me", but has also made small and fragile songs like "Lost" and "Michel". In addition to her pop/rock sound she also experiments with soul, funk and hip hop.
Anouk was married to her manager Edwin Jansen until 1998.
She married Remon Stotijn (aka The Anonymous Mis), frontman of the reggae/rap band Postmen, on 16 March 2004. Stotijn is the father of three of her children; son Benjahmin Kingsley (b. 18 April 2002), son Elijah Jeramiah (b. 5 December 2003) and daughter Phoenix Ray (b. 3 June 2005). In May 2008, Anouk and Remon announced a "harmonious" mutual separation.[8]
In 2010 Anouk gave birth to her fourth child, a son named Jesiah Dox. The father is Dutch rapper Robert Coenen, best known by his stage name Unorthadox, who was Anouk's latest boyfriend with whom she broke up.
In March 2014, Anouk announced that she is pregnant with her fifth child. Anouk revealed the father is Seraino Dalgliesh.[9] Her son Sion Jethro was born in June 2014.[10]

Demi Lovato + Kathy Griffin Have Twitter War, Lovatics Go Grazy
Feud alert! Demi Lovato had a bit of a Twitter tiff with comedienne Kathy Griffin, who started it, actually.
Feud alert! Demi Lovato had a bit of a Twitter tiff with comedienne Kathy Griffin, who started it, actually.
Demi Lovato is like the cutest prankster ever.
Lady Gaga's controversial SXSW performance, which saw her being vomited on by a performance artist while performing 'Swine,' has drawn its fair share of criticism. Demi Lovato, who is the de facto spokeswoman for the issues that affect our youth, took to Twitter to accuse Gaga of glamorizing eating disorders with her antics and behavior.
Demi Lovato, with her new, half-shaved pink hairdo, visited 'The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon' last night (March 10), engaging in a round of Pictionary with actors Kristen Bell and Steve Harvey. Of course, plenty of laughs ensued.
Demi Lovato, a true hair chameleon who has been every color under the sun and not found in nature when it comes to her coif, showed off her new, Skrillex-inspired hair on Instagram.
Selena Gomez, Demi Lovato and Alicia Keys glammed up for Variety's unite4:good's first-ever 'unite4:humanity' event in Los Angeles on Thursday (Feb. 27). The lovely and stylish ladies were on site to pick up awards, too!
Demi Lovato and her magenta hair stopped by Seacrest Studios at Levine Children's Hospital in North Carolina while on her Neon Lights Tour to inspire some of the patients. She offered a unique piece of poignant advice on how to reverse a bad day.
