We’ve all experienced it. That PC you know should be zipping along but isn’t. You add more memory, but it’s still barely chugging. Fortunately, it’s fairly easy to troubleshoot those ailing machines. Here are five steps you can take to help your machines run much faster.
1: Defragment
This one should go without saying. However, I am always surprised at how few people regularly do this — or how many IT admins neglect to set up machines to do this regularly. Regardless of which Windows desktop OS you use, make sure you either manually defragment or set the machine up to automatically defragment. When machines get too fragmented, they suffer serious performance degradation. Usually, the built-in Windows defrag tool works fine. If you are looking for something a little better, try Defraggler. It can work on a whole disk or just a part of one.
2: Clean up the disk
Have you ever filled up a disk to 100%? If that disk contains both your OS and your data files, your machine is going to come to a screeching halt. One of the first things I check on a machine that’s running slowly is how much of the hard disk has been used. If there isn’t roughly 10% of the hard disk free, it’s time to clean house. One of the tools I like is CCleaner. It quickly clears out all temp files for you. Once that’s done, it’s time to attack the obvious locations: Recycle Bin, Pictures, Music, Videos. Once you have cleared those out, you can remove old Restore Points and Shadow copies (from System Restore) and installed programs from your Downloads directory. If that doesn’t clear up enough space, it’s time to start removing unused applications.

Owners of iPhones and other smartphones are one step closer towards taking complete control of their gadgets, thanks to a new government ruling Monday on the practice of “jailbreaking.”
This weekend has seen a flurry of activity about digital rights, but the biggest news dropped Monday morning, when the FCC announced that it had made the controversial practice of “jailbreaking” your iPhone — or any other cell phone — legal.
Jailbreaking — the practice of unlocking a phone (and particularly an iPhone) so it can be used on another network and/or run other applications than those approved by Apple — has technically been illegal for years. Most jailbroken phones are used on the U.S. T-Mobile network or on overseas carriers, or are used to run applications that Apple refuses to sell, such as Safari ad-blocking apps, alternate keyboard layouts, or programs that change the interface to the iPhone’s SMS system and the way its icons are laid out.

Security professionals have an interesting job. They manage existing security controls while eternally looking for gaps in their organization’s defenses. Recognized gaps often result in analysts running to the favored security vendor for another application, appliance, or service. But is this the best approach financially or “defensively”? Probably not.

It’s been a difficult couple of weeks over at Microsoft with the official pulling of the plug on the Kin project followed closely by a round of layoffs. But the latest report from Hitwise on the U.S. search market may help brighten the mood a little bit — at least by a few percentage points.
That’s how much Microsoft’s search engine Bing gained in June, recording a 7-percent growth to claim 9.85 percent of the U.S. market. Google still dominates with 71.65 percent of the market share, but its position actually slipped in June with a 1-percent drop.
Microsoft’s new search partner Yahoo! sits between Google and Bing with 14.37 percent of the market share, and no change in June, and Ask.com rounds out the list with a 2.19-percent share. All things considered, Microsoft has to be satisfied with Bing’s progress as it heads into its search partnership with Yahoo! later this summer.
