Computer stuff...
I need your help. I’m working on a revision to my XP backup article, a version for Vista, and a version for Linux.
– What program(s) to you use for backups?
– Where do you backup? (another drive, CD/DVD, external hard drive, another computer…)
Please take a moment to reply by posting a comment. Thanks 🙂
PCstats takes a look at Vista’s ReadyBoost feature. Decent article. Worth a read.
…Even with 512MB of system memory, ReadyBoost only increases performance in the benchmarks by a few percentage points…What the tests don’t show, is that applications within Windows were clearly quicker in loading…For memory configurations 1GB or higher, ReadyBoost does not improve system performance, at least not enough for you to notice it…

I Beta tested WHS and was 100% unimpressed with it. There isn’t anything there you can’t get from another OS and/or product. I didn’t even understand the rational behind the offering.

Oh, and note to the author of the article… No it isn’t a joke, just another attempt by you-know-who to separate your money from your wallet.
Word spread over the internet the last few days about Comcast throttling torrent downloads. Comcast is denying it. I’ve got Comcast and have seen no evidence of that. I’m not saying it is or isn’t happening, it just isn’t happening to me.
Edit: Just in is a rebuttal from TorrentFreak:
Last week we reported that Comcast is making it impossible for its customers to seed files on BitTorrent. Not surprisingly, Comcast’s PR department does all it can to deny there allegations, but we – and with us some of the leading BitTorrent developers – know better…
