Daily Tip: Fix A Dropped Internet Connection If your Internet connection drops, the router or broadband modem may be to blame. Start troubleshooting by unplugging the power cords from both devices. Let them sit for a minute and then plug in the broadband modem. Once its status light indicates that it has Internet access, plug in the router. Within a minute or two, you should be back in business. Other actions that sometimes do the trick: powering down (but not unplugging) your PC when you unplug the modem and router, and pushing the Reset buttons (if present) on the back of your modem and router for several seconds. Daily Term: cloud
The definitions for "cloud" and "cloud computing" are still evolving and subject to debate, but you'll find that many people are referring to online services when they say something is "in the cloud." Such services include online photo-editing services, Web-based email services, online storage services, and more. Businesses often think of cloud computing in terms of scalability: Internet-based services that can scale to meet the changing usage needs of a growing business. SaaS (Software as a Service), for example, is software that his hosted online (instead of being installed to your computers). It can be scaled for use by your growing company.
