I have some old IDE hard-drives and none of the new computers have IDE connectors? What should I do? Try to find a old computer?
None of the new computers have IDE connectors?
Also why is is some power supply for the computer are 20 watts and some 500 watts? Also why is it some power supply for the computer and computer fans less 2 or 3 years and some 9 years or more?
Why is the stors killing backwards hardware support now was not like that 2 or 3 years ago?
Answer
Ummm where do I start. Ok here goes.
IDE is made obsolete by SATA, but you can still find new motherboards with new sockets that have them, they're also called PATA. Think of it like buying cassette tapes. Most stores don't even sell them anymore, but some still do, and most new stereo systems don't have cassette players, but a few still do. You just have to look around a little more to find them.
there are no 20W power supplies, but some are 300W and some are 1200W because not all computers need a lot of power, but some do. I have 2 desktops, my workstation/gaming rig and my backup for when the workstation is rendering for long periods of time. The workstation uses 1000W of power and my backup uses 400W, mostly because of the graphics cards.
Some parts are built better and last longer, and usually cost more.
It seems to go in spurts. Technology will make a new breakthrough and every company will race and compete to be on top, then it will calm down and level out for a few years, then a new breakthrough will get everyone scrambling to get ahead again. It's just how it is. Right now, processor and GPU manufacturers are at war again and they're all rushing to make things better and faster, and game makers are using the new advances to pump more and more detail into their games because they can. Don't worry, this too shall pass and things will be calm again, probably in 2012 or 2013. AMD is releasing a new line of highly anticipated processors, supposedly this summer, and Intel just released their highly anticipated processors earlier this year (Sandy Bridge) and I think that's it for a few years (probably improved versions of those processors, slightly faster, but not revolutionary, will come out in 2013 and 2014).
It's frustrating, I know. I've been there. I built my workstation 6 months ago and the RAM is half as expensive now, the Sandy Bridge came out for the same price as the processor I bought and it's faster and better, and the 550ti GPU is out at the same price I paid for my 460s.

Are computer cameras in our TV sets and Computers spying on us?
patricia
The cable connects the TV and Computer and most new ones have little cameras in them so do not you think a hacker(s) could be watching you?
OK -What to do about the camera in the TV?
Answer
The answer, according to research, not so comforting. Devices that can spy, eye opening.
http://rt.com/usa/smart-tv-security-access-092/ ''Viewers, beware: while youâre watching TV, your TV might be watching you back.A security firm discovered that Samsungâs Smart TV can give hackers access to the deviceâs built-in camera and microphones, allowing them to watch everything you do.The Malta-based firm ReVuln posted a video showing its team of researchers hacking into one of the Samsung TVs and accessing its settings, channel lists, widgets, USB drives, and remote control configurations.The security flaw allows hackers to access any and all personal data stored on the TV. âWe can install malicious software to gain complete root access to the TV,â the video writes. With this access, hackers can use the Smart TVs built-in camera and microphones to see and hear everything in front of it. Instead of just watching TV, viewers could themselves be watched without knowing it. But this flaw isnât present in just one specific model.The vulnerability affects all 11 Samsung televisions of the latest generation.The Smart TVs have many of the same features as a computer, but lack the same kind of protection.The devices do not have security features such as firewalls and antivirus software. Fortunately for concerned viewers, the problem has a silver lining: hackers must first breach the network that the television is connected to, as well as know the IP address of the device.As a result, security breaches would likely only occur as a targeted attack against an individual, rather than randomly. Unlike an Internet virus, a hacker would have to exploit the network manually.''
