Torres Posted September 30, 2014 Author Share Posted September 30, 2014 ProsumerA Prosumer is an individual who is quite knowledgeable about a particular subject, thus leading them to have above normal knowledge about products related to that subject.An example would be a professional photographer versus a regular consumer. While the regular consumer may purchase a fairly standard camera, the professional photographer will go for high quality equipment with advanced features that will serve them well in their work.

Torres Posted October 2, 2014 Author Share Posted October 2, 2014 SharewareShareware, a portmanteau of share and software, is a popular term which denotes that a given application is intended to be freely shared and distributed but that some form of monetary compensation is due the author. In most cases shareware functions as a sort of demonstration of the software which is either restricted by functionality (the user does not have access to all the functions) or by time (the user has full access to the program but only for the first 30 days). After the trial period, the user is required to purchase a license or other method of unlocking the application to continue using it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Torres Posted October 7, 2014 Author Share Posted October 7, 2014 Host Protected AreaThe Host Protected Area is a section of a hard disk that has been specially formatted and flagged so that it does not appear to the host operating system. This portion of the hard disk can be used for a variety of purposes including storing hidden data, security software to track stolen laptops, and vendor-specific utilities, but it is most typically used to house recovery software. Many desktop and laptop computers no longer ship with operating system reinstallation/recovery discs, for example, but instead include a large Host Protected Area that houses a recovery program that is accessible from the computer’s BIOS menu.
