Intel compute stick



The Intel Compute Stick, revealed by Intel at CES 2015 in January, is now available for preorder through certain retailers, according to Liliputing.com. Newegg and Amazon are selling the device for $150 and $180, respectively.
Intel describes the Compute Stick as a new generation “computer-on-a-stick,” claiming that it’s ready to go out of the box. The device itself is approximately four inches long, and comes preinstalled with Windows 8.1 or Linux. It uses a quad-core Intel Atom processor to provide speed and power, and has built-in wireless connectivity. The Compute Stick also comes with a MicroSD card slot for additional storage
The product has an HDMI connector on one end, which allows users to plug the stick into an HDMI port on a monitor or television. Once it’s in, users can reap the benefits of its all-in-one desktop capabilities.
The models that are available for preorder on Amazon and Newegg have 2GB of RAM, 32GB of storage and Windows 8.1 pre-installed. However, Newegg is also selling aLinux version of the stick, with the same RAM and storage, for $110.

Intel isn’t the first company to reveal a computer-on-a-stick device. Asus announced a similar product, the Chromebit, at the end of March. The Asus Chromebit will allow users to run the Chrome operating system on any monitor or TV.
The Asus stick PC will include a Rockchip RK3288 quad-core processor, which is already being used in a new line of Chromebooks. It will have 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, Bluetooth 4.0, 802.11ac Wi-Fi, and a USB 2.0 port. Additionally, it’s expected to retail for under $100 when it hits the market this summer, which should appeal to more budget-conscious consumers.
Intel’s Compute Stick will get a head start with an expected release date of April 24, 2015. Whether you love Windows, Linux or Chrome OS, there is a computer-on-a-stick option out there for you.

By Parth Makadiya I reviewed  PowerSuite set of tools in a previous post and am adding further information about their evolution through the years as part of a sponsored post series. We’ve all heard the old saying “The only thing that stays the same is that everything changes”. And in the online marketing industry, change has always been the name of the game. From staying on top of the zoo Google keeps throwing at us, to dodging curve balls from Facebook Ads, to figuring out each new social platform that pops up – if you aren’t flexible, then online marketing may not be for you. As our industry continuously shifts, the tools we use must change and adapt just as fast.

Yet, this tool set has evolved over the last ten years. It’s fun to look back on where you’ve come through the waves of Goog

     We share our lives on Facebook. We share our birthdays and our anniversaries. We share our vacation plans and locations. We share the births of our sons and the deaths of our fathers. We share our most cherished moments and our most painful thoughts. We divulge every aspect of our lives. We even clamor to see the  latest versions even before they're ready  for primetime.

People can practically steal our identities—and that's just with the visible information we purposely give away through our public Facebook profile. The scariest part is that as we get more comfortable with advances in technology, we actually become more susceptible to hacking. A
