Announcement and Brief Tutorial

Before I get into the tutorial today, last week I made a tutorial using iOS. On October 14th, the iPhone 4S will be released, along with iOS 5, the latest version of iOS. Also software on the iPod Nano has been updated and the iPod Touch comes in white now, along with black.

Today, Apple announced their new iPhone, which has some pretty great new features. One of them, it a new 8MP (Mega Pixel) Camera built in to the phone. The camera is also capable of shooting 1080p HD video, which is a really great feature. Another feature is Siri Voice Control. It is a new addition to the software, which is running in beta (Testing Stages). It will allow you to control any part of your iOS device. The last new addition to the iPhone 4S, is the Apple's new A5 processor is built right in. 7X better graphics, dual core graphics, and 2X faster than the previous iPhone. Another new thing. Sprint is now a major carrier of the iPhone starting next. The new iPhone is a world wide phone now, meaning it should be compatible with most networks around the globe.

Okay, so today really isn't much of a tutorial, it is more of a guide. I will be showing you what some ports on the back of a computer are, or on the computer. I will show you a few pictures of ports on the computer, and what they can be used for and why they are useful.

So, above shows 13 unique ports (15 total) on the back of a computer. I am going to go from 1-13 on what these ports do. So here we go.

1: Your first port, the purple six pin port, is for your keyboard, your keyboard can be used for many things obviously, :P. But. it can be used for things over than typing.

2: This port is for your mouse, the object you use to move the mouse on the screen with, or the arrow perhaps.

3: That port is your Ethernet port. This is how you get internet through a wire or ethernet cable.

4: Those two identical ports are USB port. You can stick thumb drives in here, mouses, keyboards, or anything else with a USB port on it.

5: These are serial ports, they are used for connecting modems, etc, but these ports aren't used often anymore.

6: This port is called a parallel port. But in simple terms, you can connect a printer to this port to print posters, papers, card, etc.

7: This is a game pad port, not alot of systems have these anymore though, mainly older systems, but these can be used to connect old joysticks or gamepads, etc.

8: This is your audio out port. This is were you connect speakers into your system to get sound outputted.

9: This is your line in port, this is were you connect headphones.

10: This is a microphone port, it can be used to connect a microphone and record whatever you so choose!

11. This is an S-Video Port, these port can be used to connect to TVs, along with number 12 is this possible.

12. This is a TV Out cable, allowing you to connect to a TV.
