Google. New Badges

Google has released new badges. "Google News users in the US can earn different pins, starting with bronze and moving up to Ultimate." It works in a way that the more you read and use the site, the higher level badge you can receive. Check it out, it seems interesting and could be fun to use in the future: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/technology/news/8641058/Google-launches-News-badges.html

Apple Update! Macbook Pro, Macbook Air, AND Mac Mini!

Apple is possibly undergoing an update on their laptops soon! There will apparently be a release of the new "Mac Minis". There will be three models of these Mac Mini laptops, which sound like an interesting update for Apple. The Macbook Air is also said to change, "The Airs will feature Sandy Bridge processors and Thunderbolt connectors, 9to5Mac said.". To top all of this, I am personally excited to see the new models of Macbook Pro that are going to be released. Hoping to see a processor and graphics card upgrade and possible design change. 


Check out the report at:

Image Hosting.

I found a cool new way that i came across to upload pictures, but not waste all that time trying to upload them to show your friends. Try it out, it takes seconds to upload your picture and link anybody to that image. Easy as pie. Just choose your file to upload. Resize the image if you want to. Finally clarify the image content and UPLOAD away!

Another site which is along the same guidelines is TinyPic. It works great for short term picture hosting and you can send to any of your friends, family, coworkers, with ease.

Keeping Your RAM Free.

I will tell you to free up your ram and KEEP it free. Therefore allowing the memory to be processed and run as fast as your PC used to. The steps to clearing your ram and changing your PC's settings are are quite simple and will allow your computer to successfully run applications in a more timely manner.

Follow these steps: 1. Navigate to start-->RUN-->Type regedit-->OK
2.Browse the register editor and locate HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, should be the first tab --> SOFTWARE --> Microsoft --> Windows --> Current Version --> Explorer
3.Now you are going to have to enter a new 'DWORD' value and change its name to 'AlwaysUnloadDLL' then enter the number "1" into the VALUE box.
You are all done, NOW just restart your computer and your ram should be freed up and your computer should run faster.
