No, not the goat with curly horns. I'm talking about the computer chips you put into your computer. Lots of people that ask me how to speed up their computer think that it's mostly due to their processor. Not true. While the processor does play a major role, it doesn't affect speed as much as RAM does. An amazing processor can easily burn and crash without enough RAM. "What does RAM stand for?" Random Access Memory. Sounds confusing right? Well, let me put it to you in layman terms so you can... Read Full Story

Viruses. The computer's arch-nemesis. If your computer is doing some zany stuff, it either means: 1. You are a zany person. 2. You have a virus of some sort. To get rid of viruses, I'm going to recommend using Norton-AntiVirus . They are a good company, and have a reliable product. The only thing is that you must pay yearly. It's really not that much. But if you can't afford it, then use the free version of Avast . These 2 products will protect your information, and keep your mind on things... Read Full Story

Posture - They say you should sit straight up with your hands parallel to the ground. Well, in my case, I am as we speak leaned back in a reclining chair of the utmost comfort(with my keyboard in my lap), so don't feel like you have to be uncomfortable. Just find a position where you can be in a little comfort zone(be careful that you don't cramp up your back or legs) and you'll be fine. If your fanatic about chairs, buy one that has a cooler in the side and a nice toiletry(then you can live... Read Full Story

Ah, the beloved little mouse. It's what controls the arrow you see on your screen right now. I would recommend getting a wireless mouse, just so you aren't so limited as to the way you have to lean towards your desk. Just go to Amazon.com and get a cheap 10$ one(it's what I have). Also, if you do get a wireless one, I highly recommend getting a pack of rechargeable batteries and a charger. They will save you a lot of moolah and some trips to the nearest Walmart. This way you may need... Read Full Story

Typing. Learning to type efficiently is the first step to making your computer experience much better.

Another great thing about learning to type is that you get to know and learn the keys(and shortcuts) that are possible. Once this is complete, it will make things such as emailing and writing research papers a breeze. It also makes blogging much more enjoyable. I'll even show you where to... Read Full Story
