Pothole Season app perfect for this years pothole season

March 21st, 2012

Potholes we are the unfortunate things that show up when the snow melts. Well this year there is a high tech way to take it on, in Canada.

Its a free app called pothole season. And it’s pretty cool. You either walk around or drive along and your iPhone/iPads accelerometer/gps picks up the potholes. You can then use the app to report it to your city/county. That’s pretty neat.

Hopefully lots of people use the app to tackle the potholes.

Which defragmenter is the best?

January 26th, 2012

Ah the world of computers. If you know the world of computers you will of heard the term defragmenting. Defragmenting is basically the process of putting all the files on your hard drive into one neat pile. Windows tends to like to thrash it all over the place for “time saving” purposes.

NOTE: Mac users and Linux users (Ubuntu etc) do not apply. The filesystem(s) associated with your OS either automatically corrects this problem or stops it from happing in the first place.

So then the question is, which defragmenter should I pick?

The main stream ones are;

I know there are a thousand others, but for this article I am only going to pick the ones that I hear of the most.

Which one do I prefer? Defraggler. Why?

Well its free, its easy to use, and its simple.

I have tried Perfect Disk and Diskeeper along with Auslogics disk defrag…but you either pay an arm and a leg for them or I just personally don’t like em.

Defraggler allows you to schedule a defrag, shutdown after defrag, quick or full defrag, book defrag, so its got all the bases covered. It does it all.

You can download defraggler here; its free icon smile Which defragmenter is the best? .

Guest Post: View Folder Size Of Any Folder In Windows

December 28th, 2011

Windows Explorer is a great file manager and explorer tool from Microsoft that has always remains as is and has not changed much from Windows 3.1 to Windows Vista. Even Windows Explorer provided in Windows 7 has the same look and feel with minor changes.

I have been testing many file managers and explorer, both free and paid but Windows Explorer has always been my final choice. What I love about Windows Explorer is its simplicity and ease of use. It’s because all of us are used to the same interface from the very beginning when we started using Windows.

November 29th, 2011

Privacy these days online can seem like a joke, that or its perceived that we have privacy on the internet. Well you’re in for a surprise.

How would I describe privacy on the internet;

  • not having anything on the internet that is able to track me, or show what I’ve collectively done on the internet.

By that very definition than web privacy is dead, or is it?

Thankfully it’s not, due to a cool plugin called Ghostery.
