"Your PC might have Dell diagnostic lights labeled A B C D on the rear
that can help you diagnose problems with your Dell machine. Not all
models will have these, but if your computer does, you can reference
these and quickly repair a problem that might have taken you days to
figure out. If your computer does not have lights, it will probably only
issue a beep code, which is fine. However, the lights can confirm
things a beep code cannot, such as no power to the system.
The image above shows a working Dell with all four lights green. If,
however, you have anything different, you can look up your model on the
Dell website for further documentation on these error codes. We will
list a few of the most common here, but there are certainly more on the
Dell website.
Dell Diagnostic Lights
Below are some of the common Dell diagnostic lights and their codes. You should refer to the Dell support site to find your specific model and their codes.
A B C D — No lights indicates the system is getting no power. You can
confirm the outlet is working, but if you are still not getting power,
you could have a problem with either the power supply, front switch or
the motherboard itself.
A — If only the yellow ligth is lit, this means the computer is off and receiving power.
A B C – If A B and C are yellow, this means the BIOS is not running or not finishing (completing its POST).
B — If B is yellow, this means you are having some type of issue with the power supply.
C — If C is yellow, this means you have some type of problem with the motherboard.
A B D Yellow and C Green –This means you could have a problem with your CPU.
A B Yellow and C D Green — This means you have memory installed, but there is a problem with it.
These are the top Dell diagnostic lights and their conditions that
can prevent your system from booting. You may have different diagnostic
lights and still be able to boot, but a lot of those problems can be
quickly fixed once you boot up the computer. One important thing you can
try if you are receiving any of these critical conditions is to shut
the system down, remove the plug and open the case. Make sure you touch a
piece of metal on the case’s chassis to ground yourself, then proceed
to making sure all cables and cards are secure. Be careful not to touch
any chips on the memory or the motherboard in the process."

Want to use your old iPhone accessories - well just buy one more accessory...:
http://mashable.com/2012/09/21/lightning-adapter-stores-apple/ Bottom Line: So one of the
biggest complaints with regard to the iPhone 5 (which I did receive on
Friday after all as an aside), was that the previous adaptors didn’t
work with the 5 because of the smaller adapter size. The result was/is
that the average 5 owner would purchase an additional $100 worth of
accessories to replace the additional chargers, adaptors and dock
stations that would no longer be functional. Well there is good news
(sort of). If you buy the Lightning Adapter for the iPhone 5, you can
still use all of your other accessories. You may still rightfully be a
bit skeptical for having to buy an accessory to use your existing
accessories but it’ll likely be cheaper then replacing all of them.

Windows 8 introduces significant changes to the operating system's graphical user interface and platform; such as a new interface design incorporating a new design language used by other Microsoft products, a new Start screen to replace the Start menu used by previous versions of Windows, a new online store
that can be used to obtain new applications, along with a new platform
for apps that can provide what developers described as a "fast and
fluid" experience with emphasis on touchscreen input.[2] Additional security features were also added to the operating system, such as a built-in antivirus program and a secure boot feature on systems with UEFIfirmware. Secure boot requires the operating system to be digitally signed
to protect malware from infecting the boot process. The implementation
of this feature has sparked controversy among supporters of free software. Windows 8 also introduces an edition of the operating system designed to run on devices that utilize the ARM architecture, known as Windows RT.
