In this video, I look to bust a few computer and technology related myths. The video comprises of ten myths in total and, for each, I try to ascertain if they are 'confirmed', 'plausible' or just plain 'busted'!

As I said, I advise ... As I said, I advise doing some Google searches on how? to troubleshoot Internet connection problems or wireless Internet connection problems for further methods; there are far too many to list and explain here myself.
Unplugging is the ... Unplugging is the act of taking out all wires (or just the power cable depending on the particular situation) so as to drain the power from? the device (to stop overheating) or to render it inactive for a given amount of time.
SO my problem start ... SO my problem start when i insstall new windows 7 Pro 34bit . I? try unplugging router and then plug in back but ... doesnt work

@doantranhung123 It ... @doantranhung123 It could be for a multitude of different reasons; too many to explain in this comments section. I advise doing some Google searches on how to troubleshoot Internet connection problems or wireless Internet connection problems. One thing which works a lot of the? time is unplugging your router for about 10 minutes, then plugging it in again, waiting 5 minutes, turning on your computer and try to connect.

Hi!
Love your ... Hi!
Love your tutorials!! Is there a chance that you may do a video on how to find duplicate files on your computer and remove them? I have a lot of duplicate photos to? remove. Thanks! :)

For your information, computer? data is expressed as bytes, kilobytes, megabytes as it is in metric system, but 1 kilobyte is 1024 bytes not 1000 bytes.
Data storages starting from the smallest unit are: bit, byte, kilobyte (KB), megabyte (MB), gigabyte (GB), terabyte (TB), petabyte and exabyte. However, the highest unit which is actually commonly used in the home (and sold for home use) is indeed, the terabyte (TB).
Here's my own ... Here's my own explanation for you (which continues across two comment; please read both:
Computers (pc, laptop, netbook, tablet pc etc) store information in the form of 1 and 0's in different types of storages such as memory (ram),? hard disks, usb drives, etc, to be processed by software. The most of common unit of data storage is expressed as byte which is 8 bits.

can any one tell me ... can any one tell me what is? the highest the gigabyte i think it named tera ?
Haha, thank you ... Haha, thank you very much; I really? appreciate it!
Great video,? love ... Great video,? love your voice!
Thanks for the ... Thanks for the comment; I? really appreciate it. Have a great day!
informative? informative?
I think the TV is ... I think the TV is the most prominent example of pointless standby :) Thanks for? the great and insightful comments. I hope you have a great day!
I just wanted to ... I just wanted to make the point because so many people I know leave all their electrical appliances on standby and it is such a waste. But your? video was very useful and interesting to see which myths actually have any truth to them.
Thanks for your ... Thanks for your comments on this. Surely your first point on electricity goes without saying? That wasn't the focus of the screen saver myth, I was merely saying that many monitors nowadays have an automatic sleep mode; for many, this is more convenient than? turning it off for several reasons: some don't always know how long they are going to be away from the computer and its quicker for the monitor to stop sleep mode than to turn on again. Power usage difference is minimal here.
Couple of comments. ... Couple of comments. All electrical appliances should be off when not in use to conserve energy. And personally I hope they never allow mobile phone use on planes. Wish they caused problems on buses and trains too. Very interesting. Thank you.?
Cool beans! I ... Cool beans! I subscribed plz subscribe back? :)
Thanks for ... Thanks for commenting; I really appreciate it!?
good video? good video?
I personally don't ... I personally don't use an antistatic wrist strap either when I build/repair computers. I just have a hunch that? a wrist strap would be safer. =]
If your graphics ... If your graphics card and monitor support it (they both have the slot for it) a DVI cable is my personal preference for visual only for PC monitors. One could also use a DVI cable with DVI to VGA (using an adapter). There's nothing wrong with using a VGA cable if that's what both your monitor and graphics card has. If you need to transfer both audio and visual then yes, the HDMI cable is probably the most? useful, gold-plated or not. :)
Agreed :)? Agreed :)?
I do have a ... I do have a question? though. What is better pc cables to monitors like VGA or the more Universal cable HDMI? I got my gold plated HDMI for 4$ cuz of a friend at bestbuy ;)
I really enjoyed ... I really enjoyed this video! Im going to post this on my facebook.? And if one person wants to argue one more time that Macs dont get viruses, I will have to beat someone xD
Even wearing an ... Even wearing an antistatic wrist strap while working with computer components on a carpet is very unlikely to be effective. The reason that that happened to you is not because you weren't wearing an antistatic wrist strap, it was quite simply because you were on carpet.? As long as you do the building on a flat, hard surface (wood or stone for instance) and have one hand on the case whenever touching the components, then everything will be fine. One should never build on carpet.
Thanks for the ... Thanks for the great compliment! When I got half-way through editing it, I actually considered putting it into parts, but I was really getting into the continuous video by then and it was linking it really nicely; I didn't? want to break it up as I didn't have that in mind from the start. However, I agree with the fact that some people may not have the intention span to even start watching the video when they see the length. I will think about this for the next video. Thanks!
Well, i killed my ... Well, i killed my old PC using static power( i am 89 % sure on), i sat on a carpet(Not washed on over 20 years T_T) "playing" with pc parts in an attempt to make the pc better. (Cleaned etc) then it well.. started to spark and burn. so i do? think it works..
