Improve the Performance on Your Computer

The following steps will surely help to “speed up your computer start up” and you will guarantee optimal performance you have never experienced before.

The Hardware Must be Sufficient:

You must have to make it sure that you have a proper and good functioning hardware to support the computer’s system. Aside from this, you may add additional memory since adding RAM is considered as one of the best ways to enhance computer performance.

Clean Your Desktop:

If you have noticed that your computer has been running slower and slower every time you open your files, then you must have to clean your desktop. A cluttered desktop can slow down computers. You must have to clean your desktop by eliminating and removing unwanted icons on your desktop. Having an organized and clean desktop can help provide good performance on your computer. Your computer will surely increase its speed and no more worries for sluggish computers.

Scan Your Windows System for Errors:

Since the operating system collects files that execute different functions, there will come a time that these files will become corrupted. To avoid getting corrupted, you must have to run a “System File Checking” on your system. This utility will help in inspecting and checking the files stored on your system. Once it can detect corrupted files, it will then correct the files that have problems.

Scan your Computer for Viruses, Spyware and Adware:

Every computer is susceptible to viruses. These viruses can threaten your computers and worse, can damage the computer system. That is why there is a need for you to install anti-virus on your computer. The anti-virus will help detect virus, spyware and adware before they can penetrate into the computer system. If there are forms of malware detected on the computer, it will remove these viruses out from the system. However, you need to scan your computer with the anti-virus regularly so that you can achieve a virus-free computer.

Uninstall Unused Programs:

In the long run, you may have installed programs and applications that are no longer in use. These programs can consume a lot of space in the hard disk drives on your computer. That is why you need to uninstall these programs that are not important anymore to help freeing up disk space. Nearly full hard disks can cause the slowing down of computers. To uninstall programs, go to Add/Remove Programs from the Control Panel.

For Better Performance, Adjust Visual Effects:

There are a lot of interesting visual effects on your Windows that includes animated and fading windows. However, if you have insufficient operating memory on the system can cause the slow performance on your computer. For better performance, you need to adjust the visual effects by reducing it.

Do Not Automatically Start Programs:

You must have to reduce programs on your start up. It is because too many files on the start up can consume a lot of time particularly when you have to boot your computer since it will have to load all the programs that are on the start up.

Defragment your Hard Drive:

The more information and programs that are stored in the computer, there is a big chance that these files will be scattered in the system wherever there is available space for it to store. To avoid cluttering of files in the system, you need to defragment your hard drive.

Is Google+ Become Facebook Competitor?

Yesterday, Google unveiled Google+ which is another attempt by the search giant to step into social netwroking space.

More people visit Google’s network of websites than Facebook each month, but Facebook is killing the search company in categories that advertisers care most about: Time spent and pages viewed. Users spent 62% more time on Facebook than on Google last month, and viewed more than twice the number of pages on Facebook as they did on Google, according to comScore.

Google+ features several components that attempt to mimic natural human interaction. For instance, to simulate sitting out on your front porch, one feature allows users to declare that they’re “hanging out” and interested in video chatting if a select group of people are around. Another lets users chat with a particular set of people – say, before they all meet at a concert.

Google often denies that Facebook is the company’s primary competitor, and Gundotra said Google+ was “not a reaction to Facebook.” Yet sources with knowledge of the project say that Google+ was known internally as “Googbook.” Google devoted 300 people to the team.

Blazingly Faster Data-Transfer System

An Intel technology called “Thunderbolt” is creating quite a storm in the computer and gadget worlds. Thunderbolt will allow you to transfer photos, videos and files from other devices to a computer faster than ever before.

Intel’s new Thunderbolt cable and port system claims to be 20 times faster than USB 2.0 and 12 times faster than FireWire, both of which are its main competitors. As per Intel’s news release, Thunderbolt technology can transfer a full-length HD movie in less than 30 seconds.

For tech-heads in the audience, Thunderbolt transfers files at a rate of 10 gigabits per second. Its closest competitor, USB 3.0, allows for file transfers at a rate of 5 gigabits per second – so Thunderbolt is twice as fast. Intel developed this technology in coordination with Apple. So, for now, it’s only available on Apple’s new MacBook Pro line, which debuted on couple of days back, the same day Intel announced Thunderbolt.

It’s going to be awhile before Thunderbolt becomes widely adopted, but several manufacturers have said they intend to develop new hardware that’s compatible with it. Most of the gadgets will be geared towards video and audio editing professionals, but more consumer-grade devices are sure to trickle through as the year goes on.
