streaming

Definition:

Streaming usually refers to audio or video content played over the Internet. To avoid long delays in waiting for a large audio or video file to download, streaming actually downloads only the first part of the audio or video file using a process called buffering and then immediately starts playing it. While you are listening to a portion of the audio or watching a portion of the video, the remainder of the audio or video file continues to download. So in a sense, when you are streaming you are listening or watching at the same time the file is downloading.

ink cartridge

An ink cartridge is a plastic container that contains ink used by inkjet printers. Ink cartridges are replaceable and even refillable if you purchase an ink refilling kit. Ink cartridges are less expensive then toner cartridges, but need to be replaced more often. Black and white cartridges are sold separately from color cartridges, so if you have an inkjet printer that can print in color, you typically must purchase separate black and white and color cartridges.
