Love it or Leave It

The good: Strong design and Microsoft don't always go together, but they do in Windows 7. Users might take a while to get use to the new taskbar and Aero Peek, but they're a pleasure to use.

The bad: Performance is still hit-or-miss in Windows 7. At the ripe age of seven, Windows XP still performs better in some categories.

The bottom line: Windows 7 is more than what Vista should have been, it's where Microsoft needed to go. How much damage Vista did and whether Windows 7 is enough for people to finally abandon Windows XP are questions that nobody has the answers to.

Social Media Networking

If your not signed in, its very curious what goes on here. It’s no secret, networking the is key.
Why?

Increased brand awareness. You’re interacting with others on the social media channel in order to build awareness for your personal and business brand. You’re increasing your visibility in the right areas and trying to stick in the minds of others through active interaction on many different levels. From this perspective, networking also works to drive traffic back to your website.

Improved reputation. You want to improve how others think about your website so you hang out in forums or networking sites, in order to respond to feedback. You want to keep the communication channels open on all social media fronts. You may also want to improve your reputation as an expert by being consistently involved in discussions on topics that are relevant to your business or website.

Personal Development. Networking with the right people will keep you in the loop on industry happenings and will also improve your knowledge levels. A big part of networking is observation. Seeing how others reflect or participate in conversations is a great way to improve your own experience in the field.

Relationships with benefits. One can network with others with the aim of extracting future benefits such as testimonials, links or recommendations. Others are more likely to provide you with a benefit when you’ve taken the effort to interact with them. Networking is a way to build relationships that can be mutually beneficial.

What is Spyware and Adware??

     Spyware refers to software that monitors your Internet or computer access in the background, usually without you knowing that it is working and had ever been installed in the first place. Some spyware may be installed to purely invade your privacy, report your Internet travels to someone else, record passwords and credit card numbers as they are keyed in, or display advertisements geared towards your activities.
 Adware, which often is synonymous with spyware, is spyware that monitors your access for the intent of delivering advertisements. Spyware may display pop-up advertisements no matter what software you are using, but most spyware instead hooks into your web browser.
