Web hosting is a very essential part of any website. Generally people specially newbies tend to opt for cheapest host which are many times scams. The website will eventually die pre-maturely if you do not chose web host wisely. Your web host may not give you stable up-times or may not be equipped to handle traffic peaks that are generated via social bookmarking sites like stumbleupon etc. So one should not fall for lucrative offers of cheap hosting that are all over the web. But how does one choose from different web hosts? How can one differentiate one web hosting provider from another? (more…)

Check out this awesome video from SuperNews which pretty much sums up the problem with tweople (twitter people). If you dont know what I am talking about, twitter is the latest sensation in communication, essentially a micro-blogging platform which has changed the way people communicate with each other. Though I must admit that I am a twiddict (twitter addict) but, I also agree with some parts of this awesome video.

Piracy is a problem that plagues modern world today. Be it games, movies, songs or any other source of entertainment or technology, piracy is everywhere. You name it and piracy is there, stealing the creator of their well deserved money, ruining their revenue model. Just like other things, piracy is affecting music artists heavily. I do not know how many of us actually buy music. But everybody sure has GB’s of song collected on their pc’s (and macs, chill), thanks to the internet, where you can get anything by just doing a smart google search. It is really heartbreaking for those who worked their assess off, but at the end they do not get the return they deserve. That is why we have organizations like MPAA and RIAA pro-actively going after those who support or indulge in piracy in any form.

But a new site called, Kerchoonz is ready to change this. Kerchoonz is a brilliant idea, from the minds of musicians, for the musicians. It plays the music to the visitor from its vast library of artists and song. What is the difference? It pays back the artist whenever you listen to their song(s). Great idea, isn’t? (more…)

The PageRank update for April 2009 is underway. This is the first major PageRank update of the year (last being towards the end of december in last year). The update started yesterday.
Biotech-geek.com The Everything Blog, still remains penalised. (its been almost an year since the penalty now Google, come one, you can show some love there, are you listening?), while my other blog Knayam went from PR of 2 to 3 (some of the internal pages have also got PR’s of 1 or 2).

Its been an okay PR update for me as I dint make real efforts and also dint update the blogs regularly, so I am kind of happy.

How did your sites/blogs fare in the PR update?

If you havent checked your PR’s as of yet, you can use this tool to check the PR of any site/blog or webpage.

There is a major problem with computers that with time, the performance of the PC’s decreases for an average user. The reasons for it are many.

One of the major problems with computers is virus and spyware (malware)infections. If you are not careful on the internet about what you are surfing, or you dont scan your media like USB drives and cd’s or dvd’s before using them, your PC will suffer a malware problem sooner or later. if you just take care of these two aspects, you probably dont even need any anti-virus software,believe me.

Another major problem that is a cause of performance degradation are hard disk issues like disk fragmentation. A highly fragmented hard disk increases data access time and thus makes your computer slow. Sometimes you are also required to clean up and optimize your registry to make your computer run faster.

There are many software to optimize your system and make it run like new. We have an whole array of software specialising in different taks like anti-virus and anti spyware suites, registry cleaners etc. But how do you chose a good one which can really do the job efficiently. Its not an easy decision. And not to forget that there are many fake software out there that distribute themselves as anti virus solutions or registry optimizers, but are actually malicious themselves. (more…)
