Antivirus
A lot of people look at this as the end all to problems, but it is not that. It is a mere shield to a fraction of the issues that plague PCs.


Norton
Norton throws a lot into the picture with its 360 and Internet Security products. It hogs a lot of resources on older machines, but the new stuff can handle it.

Microsoft
Microsoft is sticking its hand in the cookie jar with Security Essentials. A free solution……definitely an option (as well as a personal choice)

Eset
Nod32 was the choice of choices. Small, compact, powerful, and a decent price tag. Very affordable if you believe in paying for an antivirus

Drivers
PLEASE, go to your manufacturer’s site and download the latest drivers and support for your hardware. Optimal software, optimal performance….end of story.

Malware/Spyware Killer
Malwarebytes….love it, live it, and buy it!

Microsoft Updates
Set the PC to autoupdate at a time you have it on and just let it go……

Office Suite
OpenOffice or Microsoft Office? Take your pick.

Definitely a read for those who want to know the difference.geek

Sixty four bit computing, has been around since the beginning of computing, but it wasn’t in the mainstream consumer marketplace until just a few years ago, while AMD announced AMD64 almost adecade ago. Getting the rest of the market to join up was aided by Intel’s own implementation called Intel® 64. From there, you needed an operating system that supported the technology and applications that were compatible to take advantage of it. Before Windows® Vista and OS X 10.6, that was hard to come by. You’ve probably seen that Windows® 7 comes in 32 and 64-bit version and wondered what the difference is.  Even now, I’m still surprised at how long it’s taken to convert everyone over.

Ok, here is the deal: Instead of fixing the implied antenna issue, Apple wants you to do two things: Buy the phone and receive a free case!!!!

It is like they are trying to repair the bullet wound instead of fixing the darn thing!!!

The iPhone 4 may not be in white, but we got two companies who are going for the color!

The Evo 4G, Sprint’s latest 4G toy (which won’t get 4G if you’re in 40 of the 50 United States) comes in this pretty white finish. I guess this may help people see what color the LCD leaks truly are. Either way, the sucker is white.

Sony

Well, Sony may be behind the Wii AND the 360 in the console wars of this generation, but this slim little mofo just got a white upgrade! Along with a Hard Drive increase…from 160 to 320! It is true that Sony wants to get the weight up, but the price is still a steep one compared to the other consoles. Unless there are some original games that are WORTH biting the Sony bullet, people will still flock to the already white Wii and 360. Sorry, Sony. Get cheaper, not whiter….
So, if it is white, it is right? I say if something broke, FIX IT! If you are losing a war, find a weakness and exploit it! #thatisall

That is enough for the tech world for today…Bye World.
