    Mac versus PC - A Response from Your PC

    Mr. PCHi I’m a PC and I have seen all the commercials and read all the jokes.

    For the past two years I have watch Apple computers bombard the airways with several commercials touting the Mac and how it is better than the PC.

    Before you laugh again, I want to remind you that it’s because of me and the 4-eyed Microsoft guy, that many of you even have a job, especially the millions of you ‘pencil dicks’ working in the technology industry.

    If you don’t like me, don’t buy me…  However, I doubt that you can resist me because I am a hell of a lot cheaper than that novelty from Apple.

    Remember that the next time you decide to make jokes or praise that a$$-whole Mac…

    Still laughing?

    Do You have a Corrupt Windows Registry?

    How ToAs much as the proponents of Windows claim that the operating system is stable, we have all experienced the headaches associated with occasional crashes, slow response, freezing up, and other bugs and errors, at one time or another.

    If you have already run antivirus and antispyware software on your machine to rid it of any malicious malware, and you are still experiencing problems, then you may want to consider the possibility that your Windows registry has become corrupt.

    The Windows registry is the master database that maintains all of the information about your computer’s hardware, software, operating system settings, user profiles, security, and more. As far as databases go, the registry has a tendency to become bloated and easily subjected to data integrity errors.

    The registry is a flat database that can be easily manipulated by any user and any software program. There is no built in data integrity check nor is there any built-in optimization mechanism.

    How do you know if your Windows registry has become corrupt? You can use a registry repair utility to find out. Unfortunately, Windows doesn’t come with its own. Fortunately, there do exist third-party utilities that can scan your registry for errors and fix them, while also optimizing and fine-tuning your registry for you.

    Windows is like a car. It needs to be maintained and should undergo a tune-up periodically. A windows registry optimizer is a valuable tool to add to your arsenal to keep your operating system running smoothly and efficiently at all times.

    Ready to give your PC a free tune-up? If you suspect that your Windows registry has become corrupt or you just want to proactively optimize it, it is strongly recommended that you run a Windows registry repair utility” periodically on a regular basis.

    Microsoft decides to keep XP around a little longer

    windows-xpThe death of Windows XP may have been greatly exaggerated.

    Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said the company could re-evaluate its plans to phase out Windows XP by June 30, if customers demand that it stick around. So far, they have not.

    “XP will hit an end-of-life. We have announced one. If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter, but right now, we have a plan for end-of-life for new XP shipments,” Ballmer said during a Thursday news conference in Belgium, according to Reuters.
