How To Boot Ubuntu From A USB Flash Drive

Below are the three methods, that can be adopted to boot Ubuntu OS from a USB Flash Drive!

Option 1: Boot Ubuntu as a Live CD from a USB Flash Drive

Use this option to install Ubuntu as a Live Install, which allows you to boot from the USB flash drive in Ubuntu, experience the Linux environment but will not retain any changes or settings after you shut down. This is a great way to get a feel for the OS, test some of it's capabilities as well as typical hardware compatibility.

Programs you may need to download:
  1. Ubuntu 10.04 Live CD ISO available at ubuntu.com.
  2. Universal USB Installer available at pendrivelinux.com.

What you will need:
  1. Computer Running Windows XP/Vista/7.
  2. Fat32 Formatted USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 1GB.
  3. PC with a Bios that can boot from USB.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin to setup our Ubuntu Live USB Drive,
  1. Run the Universal USB Installer by Pendrivelinux.com that you downloaded earlier.
  2. Choose Ubuntu 9.10/10.04.1 Desktop i386.
  3. Select the Ubuntu Live CD that you downloaded earlier.
  4. Choose your Flash Drive.
  5. In this instance, we are going leave the persistence option unchecked.

This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your system. At one point the progress bar will freeze until it is done, and this is the lengthiest wait of the process.

Once complete, you can reboot your computer with the USB flash drive in the USB port, press F12 for the Boot Menu and choose the removable media to boot from and you are in.

As this is a Live USB, any changes you make to the Ubuntu environment will not persist through a reboot. This is because running in this mode, Ubuntu uses available RAM in place of Swap and Hard Disk space. This option also contains the install files needed to install Ubuntu directly to your desktop if you should so desire.


Option 2: Boot Ubuntu as a Live CD with Persistence from a USB Flash Drive

This option will install Ubuntu Linux onto your flash drive with an area for persistent storage. You will be able to restart the computer, boot back into the Linux environment and all settings or changes made previously will persist.

Note: This option is particularly hard on Flash Memory, as there can be quite a bit of reading and writing to the Flash Memory.

What you will need:
  1. Computer Running Windows XP/Vista/7.
  2. Fat32 Formatted USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 2GB.
  3. PC with a Bios that can boot from USB.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin to setup our Ubuntu Live USB Drive,
  1. Run the Universal USB Installer by Pendrivelinux.com that you downloaded earlier.
  2. Choose Ubuntu 9.10/10.04.1 Desktop i386.
  3. Select the Ubuntu Live CD that you downloaded earlier.
  4. Choose your Flash Drive.
  5. Select the Persistence Option of 1GB Casper-RW.

This can take anywhere from 15 minutes to 30 minutes depending on the speed of your system. At one point the progress bar will freeze until it is done, and this is the lengthiest wait of the process.

Once complete, you can reboot your computer with the USB flash drive in the USB port, press F12 for the Boot Menu and choose the removable media to boot from and you are in.

As this is a Live USB with Persistence, any changes you make to the Ubuntu environment will keep through a reboot. This option also contains the install files needed to install Ubuntu directly to your desktop if you should so desire.


Option 3: Install Ubuntu directly to a USB flash Drive

This option works through installing Ubuntu to the flash drive as a complete installation. It does not retain the installation files to install on another system. This will allow you to use Ubuntu exactly as if it were installed alone on the hard disk. You can boot from it with any computer that can boot from a USB flash drive.

Note: This method requires that you disable your hard drive in BIOS to prevent overwriting your current operating system and force the install onto the USB drive.

What you will need:
  1. USB 2.0 Flash Drive, at least 4GB.
  2. PC with a BIOS that can boot from USB.
  3. Blank CD.
  4. A Computer with the ability to Burn CD/DVD.

Now with all of the necessary components in place, we can begin the process,
  1. First, you will need to burn your Ubuntu ISO to CD using a program like ImgBurn available at ImgBurn.com.
  2. Boot your computer and press F2 to enter the system BIOS. Within here you will want to disable your Hard Drive. If this is not an option in your BIOS, I would suggest shutting down your computer and unplugging the power and data cables from your hard drive before proceeding. Note: If you choose not to disable your hard drive, you run the risk of installing Ubuntu on top of your current OS and can lose valuable information.
  3. After you have disabled your hard drive, place the Ubuntu Live CD into your computer and boot from this.
  4. At the initial boot screen, choose to try Ubuntu, not install.
  5. Once Ubuntu loads, plug in the desired flash drive into the computer.
  6. Now, double click on the Install Ubuntu icon that appears on the desktop.
  7. The first 3 screens are language, time zone, and keyboard layout.
  8. Now Ubuntu will notify you that there is a disk mounted, and asks to unmount it. This is your flash drive. Give it permission to unmount.
  9. This is the prepare disk space screen. I chose to leave mine at default and let the installer handle the partitions needed by Linux.
  10. Now you will see the login and user information screen.
  11. Now you are ready to install, click install.
  12. At one point during the installation, you may notice a skip button appear on the bottom left. This is to skip the auto update, and finally the language packs. I chose to skip language packs update.
  13. This may take a while, mine took atbout 35 minutes to complete. When it is done, eject the disk and shut down the computer. Plug your hard drive back in if necessary, or boot your computer into bios and re-enable it. Reboot your computer and press F12 to enter the boot menu, choose the flash drive and boot into Ubuntu.

What are Cloud Services?

If you work in business and computers, chances are you would have heard about cloud services. It’s something that is talked about a lot but rarely explained to those who don’t know. If you are starting a job in this area or are just curious about the service and how it can help you, it’s important it is explained clearly to you.

Below is a guide on cloud services. This article covers what it means, what cloud services are and how they can help you and your company. Hopefully, after reading you should have a better understanding of cloud services.

What does the term “cloud” mean?

The term cloud in computing refers to internet based computing. It is when all your resources, files, software, programs and information you share on it are available to other computers and internet enabled devices. It means everything you store on your cloud is easily available online.

What are cloud services?

Cloud services are when a business offers secure cloud space to individuals, businesses and organisations.

With a cloud service you can have programs such as word processing programs, spread sheet programs, in-house data systems and email programs easily available without the use of downloading the software onto your computer or device. The result is easy accessibility to files and programs from any device so that you can work from any device and share files and information with others. It works great with families, who may want to share photographs and files, and it works for businesses that may need to work on shared files and access informationeasily and regularly.

How can cloud services help me and my business?

Cloud services can help your business if you rely on your team to access the same files and if your company is computer based. When you work in an office, frequently you will need to access a file someone else has been working on or updating. With a cloud service, anyone of your staff members with the right permissions can access these shared files, saving you time and money. With a cloud service you don’t need to waste time emailing things or downloading them onto external hard drives, this in turn can save you money.Using cloud services can mean if an employee can’t come in because their child is sick off school or it’s a snow day, your employee can still work that day from home by just logging onto the cloud service where all the files they’ve been working on are stores.

What companies provide cloud services?

There are many types of companies that supply cloud services. The first thing to take into consideration is security and reliability. Consider how there are three different types of cloud: public, private and hybrid. Work out which type will serve your needs best, for example if you are using the service for personal use, private is good for you.Do some research on companies before committing to a service as there are many companies now offering this and therefore, a lot of competition. Companies that specialise in technology solutions usually offer this service and tend to be reliable due to their specialised field.

Soon you would find one solution—using Windows 7 password reset USB disk, which is most mentioned by people. So here in this article, I will show you the exact ways to create a Windows 7 password reset disk.

How To Create Bootable Windows 8 Usb Drive



It’s been quite some time since we have seen technology revolving around portability. A USB drive acts as a portable medium for storing noticeable memory and as such a portable and a bootable windows  8 USB drive gives you a flexible availability of an operating system on your reach. Well most of the systems coming through in today’s age lack optical drives so it would be quite a wise decision to go on and use a bootable USB drive to install Windows 8 onto your system.

To create a bootable windows 8 USB drive we need to incur some requirements which happen to be:
  1. A flash (USB) drive bearing a capacity of 4 GB or more than that.
  2. A Windows 8 DVD or Windows ISO file which acts as the source which has to be transferred.
  3. If you consider having windows 8 DVD then you need an optical DVD drive in your computer but if you go onto have an ISO file then a USB port will work well.
Note: If you have a windows 8 DVD then you may proceed doing this procedure from the very first step, but if you have an ISO file then you need to go on from the second step.

Procedure: 
  • First we have to create a windows ISO file from the windows 8 DVD. This ISO file contains all the data which needs to be transfer into the usb drive to create a bootable one. There are many tools to create an ISO file from a DVD; you can use any of them. My suggestion is, you can use Magic ISO.
  • After you have created the required ISO file, you need to download the Windows 7 USB/DVD download tool from the Microsoft Website and install it onto your computer. Windows xp users need image mastering api v2 to use this software.


  • After installing it start the download tool by looking for it either in the start menu or the shortcut icon on the desktop.
  • When the tool utility will open up it will ask you for the path of your ISO file. By clicking onto browse you will have to locate the ISO file in the computer. This location has to be the path associated with your ISO files destination.


  • After selecting the ISO file you can click onto next which takes this utility onto a next step.
  • The next step is to select the media we wish to use, as we are going to make a bootable USB drive so the type of media has to be USB. There is an option to keep DVD as the media too which implies that you can make a bootable DVD too through this application but for now we have to go through the USB process.


  • After selecting the media you need to erase all the contents present in the flash drive by pressing erase USB drive. This will format the USB drive and make it free to be used particularly from this process.


  • When you will click next the utility will show you a tagline “creating bootable drive, just wait for the Windows 7 USB DVD Download Tool to prepare the drive and copy the Windows 8 installation files to it”.


  • The download tool will start formatting the drive, after that it will start copying the contents and as soon as this will be completed you will come across a labeled line that Bootable USB drive created successfully. If t\all the steps would have been incurred properly a Bootable USB drive would be ready to be operated.
This completes the process and your bootable windows 8 Usb Drive is made and prepared to be used as an installation media. Now you simply have to boot your computer through the USB drive and you would be easily able to install new windows on your computer. The maximum time period to install Windows 8 is almost 20-30 minutes with great ease.

Now You Can Watch TV, Anytime...Anywhere!


Entertainment has changed considerably over the years, with technology taking on many different forms. The Internet is being used to earn an income, play games and research anything your heart desires. You can easily download programs and applications that promise to improve your lifestyle and of course stores offer their products, at any hour of the day or night. Television still commands a huge chunk of our time, so it is not surprising that we can either stream or watch recorded programs on our personal computer.

Reruns:

           Because our busy lifestyles may not always allow us the time to sit in front of the television, not to mention the different shows that come on at the same time, colliding with each other, most of the major networks have made it possible for viewers to watch TV shows on their websites. This opportunity to watch TV on your PC requires nothing but an Internet connection.

Scanning the globe:

           We all enjoy having choices when sitting down to watch TV and that is probably why there are so many cable channels available to us. Part of the problem with many channels is that we have to settle down and make a choice as to which one to watch. WWITV.com is one of those television opportunities where the choices are extensive, covering many countries, not just stations and requires nothing more than an Internet connection.

More opportunities:

            Another option that requires nothing but a computer and an Internet connection (preferably wide band) is Hulu.com. Since 2007, this television alternative has taken Internet TV one step further and also offers full length movies. The basic FREE service provides viewers with many television shows, however, some of the most popular television shows, require that you pay a nominal monthly fee.

Streaming it:

           Television fanatics will probably appreciate the option provided by WatchTVonPC.tv, if nothing else, the choices are endless. With upwards of 12,000 channels to choose from, all for a one time fee of less than $100.00, viewers can get rid of their expensive cable bill and watch streaming television from all over the world. There will be some software to install and the moment your membership is accepted (when payment is received) you will be well on your way to watching TV on your PC.

Free and clear:

          The final option we will consider today is an external TV tuner. This little invention starts from around $30.00 and can easily get up to $200.00. The basic equipment comes with a USB connector on one side and the ability to attach an antenna on the other. The initial cost may seem a little high, but when you realize that you will no longer have to pay for cable, it will all make sense.

4 Best Apps For Learning On The Go

With the increasing demands on the lives of many people around the world, it’s difficult to find time to sit down and dedicate an hour or three to learning a new subject or skill. Luckily, app developers have also realized this and have made new apps and services that make it easy to learn, right from a mobile device.  Here are four of the best apps to download and use if you want to learn on the go.

You can download the following apps By doing a simple search on google with the app name.

Duolingo:

These days, no business professional can go about their work life without knowing at least the basics of another language.  Duolingo is an app for mobile devices that lets people begin learning another language while they’re out and about, making it that much easier to get on with their professional lives, especially when dealing with representatives from other countries. Even better? It’s totally free.

Skill Pill:

Skill Pill is an extremely useful app for those who need to know something important very quickly. The objective of this particular mobile app is to help business professionals learn the key components of areas like management or sales.  Should anyone have a question on the drive to a big meeting or as they’re about to speak to an important client, Skill Pill will help them get through it with all the knowledge they need -- right at their fingertips. The bonus of this app is that the articles within it are quite entertaining and the information is easily retained.

Sandler Training:

This mobile app is directed toward those professionals who work in sales or a sales-based working environment. Ranked as one of the best learning apps on the market, Sandler Training helps sales professionals get all the information they need while they’re on the go. If they’re headed to a large client and they want to brush up on their sales skills, Sandler Training is the perfect choice. For someone who’s a relatively new manager in a sales-based job, Sandler Training can help them get versed in the language of sales management. Although it is targeted toward a niche market, it’s one of the best and the mobile availability of such vital information is wonderful.

Good Practice:

For people who are in management or are just about to begin their management career, Good Practice is a mobile app that will benefit them greatly.  It’s an amazing app that allows management professionals to stay up to date with the latest tips and tricks for a successful career as well as stay fresh on current trends -- even when they’ve not been in the office for a while.  Before they go into that meeting or begin that important conference call in the morning, managers can open this app on their mobile device and give themselves a quick rundown of many handy tricks that will help them remember what it means to be a good manager.  The information is easily read and although it’s hardly a training module, it does provide a lot of helpful reminders for busy professionals.

No matter what profession you have, there’s most likely an app that can help you learn on the go. You just need to figure out what you want to learn and you’ll be on your way.

An advanced feature of the calendar app allows employees to use color codes for distinguishing between different tasks and be notified if there is a change from the original schedule.

3. Improving the quality of business collaboration and project management:

Ways to Prevent Computer Viruses

Computer viruses affect systems in different ways. Some wipe out or corrupt data in the system while others steal sensitive user information. While many people take insurance policies to protect their homes and property, many more seldom do the same in protecting their digital information. The initial steps of data protection may take a while but the results would be worth the effort. Securing a computer from viruses involves various strategies.

A special procedure is given below (At the end of this article),  to check if your Antivirus software is working in the right way or not!

Antivirus:

Those who do not have an antivirus application, can Download or buy one on the internet. Ensure the program is compatible with the operating system. The antivirus application should be updated frequently so that it protects against the latest virus definitions. Choose antivirus software that can update and scan automatically. Do not install applications from untrusted sites. Run full system scans at least once or twice a week. Heavy internet users should do this more often.

Firewall:

Turn on the Firewall. This is normally the base of the operating system. Users just have to turn it on. Firewall refers to software that monitors what comes in and goes out of the machine. It acts as a gatekeeper. Learn more about firewall and it's function here.

Updates:

Activate security updates to keep the system up to date. Make sure third party applications such as web browsers are also updated. Most programs have a feature that notifies users when a new program version has been released. Be sure to update all active programs. Keep the operating system updated. Many manufacturers create security patches, which they send out as needed. Setting automatic updates allows the operating system to download and install the security patches eliminating security risks including viruses.

Back up:

Back up data. This provides an extra layer of protection against Data loss. There are so many factors that can compromise data security including undiscovered bugs, downloading infected files, hardware failure and clicking on the wrong link. This is why backup is an essential part of smart computer usage. Find more about data loss and how to prevent it here.

Date Encryption:

Encrypt data using encryption software. Many operating systems have encryption capabilities. Users can encrypt their entire hard drives to protect data from virus attacks. Some encryption programs can create virtual hard drives to secure all files and prevent corruption by viruses. Choose an encryption program that allows synchronization with data protection services that store data offsite.

E-Mails:

One of the most common means of getting a virus infection is through e-mail links containing viruses. Do not open e-mail attachments and links from strangers. If necessary, visit the sites directly.

There are many strategies used to protect computer systems from getting a virus infection. However, the most basic protection against viruses involves using the right antivirus application and updating the computer system on a regular basis.

Here is A simple Way to check if your antivirus Works Or Not?

Follow the below steps:
  • Open notepad.
  • Copy the below text and paste it on the notepad.
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
  • Then save it as eicar.com
On opening the saved file you should get a message from your Antivirus as Malware detected or Virus, And that file has to be automatically deleted by your antivirus.

But Don't worry eicar.com is not a virus, It is a standard test file. :)

This is what the message i got by doing so, and the file got deleted automatically.

Beaware Of Viruses On Social Networking Sites!

Facebook and other social networking sites can be great tools to help you stay connected with friends and family but beware! Just because the url says Facebook does not necessarily make it safe to do all it has to offer. Increasingly people are getting infected from viruses and malware installing games, quizzes, and other rogue apps from social networking sites. The viruses or malware spread by posting to your friends wall and soliciting them to install it as well.

The best plan of action is to use these social networking sites without installing any 3rd party games, apps, or quizzes. This ensures that you will be protected from most threats. However if you have a computer that is used by everyone in the family and you have teenagers that might not follow these simple rules then it is important to have security software to block these threats from entering your computer.

More and more people are using Facebook and other social networking sites at the workplace which increases the risk of spreading viruses at the workplace. Many businesses have had to block Social networking sites altogether to stop the infections and lost productivity to these services.

Security programs such as Microsoft Security Essentials can help stop the viruses and malware before you get infected instead of having to remove them after the damage has already been done. Malicious Software Removal costs are higher after you have been infected.

Behavioral steps you can take to avoid getting a Virus or Malware. Avoid Facebook quizzes and games that can give you a Virus or Malware. Stay away from sites that look shady or want you to install something to run if you are not sure of how legitimate they are.

Do not open attachments even from friends unless you are expecting a particular file from them. Many times the virus will attach itself to your contact list and send emails out to everyone appearing as if they came from you. The best rule of thumb is to never open emails that look like they are from unfamiliar people.

Stop using and downloading anything from peer to peer networks these services are loaded with viruses and malware. Use the latest Firefox or Google Chrome browsers they help to keep viruses and malware out of your computer much better than Internet Explorer.

If the virus or malware you have does not let you install or download anything then boot up your computer in safe mode to allow you to download and install the proper virus removal and malware software. Instructions for booting your computer into safe mode are listed below.

Keeping Personal Data Safe: Mistakes You Should Avoid

Theft of personal data is a rising phenomenon and seems to be growing as technology further progresses. What’s more, businesses and organizations are equally affected by this menace. Despite having in place data security measures, individuals and organizations can still fall victim to data thieves. So why is your data so important to these e-criminals? The answer is simple; your data can be used clear-out your bank account, or worse, steal your identity to commit fraud and other criminal activities.

There are many mistakes organizations and individuals can make which can lead to theft of their data. Taking simple measures can certainly safeguard your data from potential theft. The following is a list of things you need to be aware of in-order to protect yourself.

Shred your paper work:

            If you decide to discard any documents, such as credit statements, bank statements, utility bills and other related information, then you need to make it a habit to shred such documents every time you decide to throw them out.  More than often, Dumpster-divers will often go through your pile of garbage seeking out un-shredded statements containing bits of your personal information. Once these so called “Dumpster-divers” get a hold of your information, it’s only a matter of time before they use your information to max out your credit card, or perhaps transfer your life savings from your savings account, to an offshore account.

To effectively shred such documents, make sure you make use a cross-shredder instead of a traditional shredder. Cross-shredders can shred such documents much more effectively than traditional shredders.

Smash your old hard-drive into pieces:

           This step may seem a bit on the extreme side, but that’s what you have to do in order to keep your personal data safe. Even if you had previously stored personal data on your hard-drive and then happened to delete that data -- thinking it was permanently wiped-out of your hard-drive; chances are your deleted data could still be retrieved. Data recovery software can easily recover most permanently deleted data.

           When you empty your recycle bin, it may appear that the data stored in your recycle bin is gone forever. However, bits of data are always present on your hard-drive, and basic data recovery software can easily retrieve such deleted data. Thus, when you send in your old desktop or laptop for recycling, chances are that someone may try to retrieve your personal data on your laptop or desktop.  Therefore, this is the reason why you need to smash your hard-drive, before you recycle your machine.

Use anti-data theft software and antivirus software:

           If you, for some reason, need to store confidential data on your personal computer, you can do so securely with the help software that can lock folders. Moreover, investing in good anti-virus software will help you keep your identity safe on the internet.

Stay away from Phishing email:

           Phishing is the practice of recording your personal user-names and passwords so that some kind of fraud can be conducted using your log-in credentials. The scam works something like this: you receive an email from Facebook, or perhaps your bank, prompting you to log-in, so that your identity can be confirmed. Most people don’t think twice about such emails, and will log-in to confirm their accounts and to prove their identities. Little do you know, in the background, your credentials are being recorded by key-logging software!

Protecting Yourself Against Online Identity Thieves

Identity thieves, send out thousands of fake emails daily, claiming that they are representing certain official entities. So take care if you receive emails saying they are from some government agency or department, as it may be that these emails are part of phishing schemes.

Phishing typically is when someone sends you emails with "bad" links in them. When you click on these links you get redirected to a "fake" site which is an exact mirror of the official site. Here you are then prompted to submit some confidential information. This information that you provide is then used to log into your real account leaving you totally clueless as to what happened. You should be aware that companies rarely communicate via email if it is in relation with sensitive account information. If they do, it is typically in response to an email that you have sent them.


OK, so what exactly can I do to protect myself against identity thieves on the web?
  1. Simple, just do not be gullible. These guys strike when you least expect it, so always be on the lookout for suspicious looking emails.
  2. If you receive a suspicious mail, don't fill out any forms requesting sensitive personal information. In fact, do not do anything. Verify whether the email is legitimate or not. Nowadays, most agencies or companies are listed on the web. Their contact information readily is available. With this information at hand you can verify whether or not any communications you received are legitimate.
  3. Don't click on or save attachments that come with suspicious emails. Delete these files immediately. Alternatively, if you have a good anti-virus, scan the attachments first before opening.
  4. Update regularly. Windows posts updates almost daily, especially security patches. Make sure you have your settings set that you can download these automatically. I know it's a pain and eats away at your bandwidth and RAM. But I like to think that it's better to be safe than sorry!
  5. Even though you should never take action on suspicious sites or emails, be sure to watch out that the address bar starts with "HTTPS". This means that the page is encrypted and should be secure. If there is no "HTTPS" then leave at once.
Unfortunately no Anti-virus software can protect you against phishing schemes.

In conclusion, if you keep these tips in mind when receiving strange suspicious emails you should be fine. And remember to always be awary of phishing schemes.

How To Choose A Best 2.1 Speaker System

Throughout the years, the increased demand of getting the best 2.1 speakers has influenced many manufacturers making these speaker systems. The large amount of speakers offered in this category has made the process of choosing the best speakers quite complicated. For this reason, the following overview on factors to consider when buying the best quality speakers might come in handy during the process of selection.

1.) Size:

           The size of the speaker is an important aspect that should be considered when you pick the speakers for your home. If the speakers are intended to be used as an additional sound system for computer, the smaller ones would be a smart choice. For other typical uses such as playing music, watching movies or playing games, when you wish great quality sound, a large speaker system is recommended.

2.) Power:

           The power of the 2.1 speaker system is considered as one of the main qualities when picking the best option. Power is typically translated as speakers with a higher wattage produce a higher power output. The power of a speaker also influences the depth of bass generated. As a result, if you wish to get a system that produces solid bass, you should aim for a system which has high wattage or power output. Otherwise, if you are thinking about a system that delivers lower bass then a system with low wattage will do just fine.

3.) Features:

           The features available on a 2.1 speaker system also come into play when picking your ideal speakers. Some of the features available in these systems include radio, Bluetooth connectivity, memory slots, dedicated bass and volume level control as well as docking stations. Finding a model that incorporates all these features is highly recommended because they often guarantee the best experience for the user.

4.) Cost:

          Last but not least, this purchase can be quite costly if you choose one of the premium models. If the budget is something you consider an important factor, you should do a price comparison of the several chosen models in order to find the best deal: the speaker system that fits within your spending budget while including the features that you are mostly excited about.

The factors above will give you a great base on how to choose the best 2.1 speaker system that meets your needs. That includes features, design, sound quality, while not forgetting the price.
