Memory Management for Windows

Many of us probably run into the problem with memory management on Windows. All that hard drive space just seems to disappear leaving us with nothing to work with. Many of us simply go out and purchase another hard drive, others wipe our hard drives and start fresh, and some just give up. Well, it's no question that it's become a big issue. With new 2TB hard drives on the market, it just shows that people are having problems managing their memory.
Here's a few tips:
1. When low on memory, try to delete a program before you install one.
2. Use various programs according to what you need (ie CCleaner) and most are FREE!
3. Don't save unused files for years, either put them somewhere else or delete them if they're not needed.
4. Use the disk cleanup feature by right clicking on your Partition > Properties > Disk Cleanup then just follow the instructions and select what you want to delete.
5. Keep your hard drive defragmented, if it gets too fragmented it can be very difficult for some defragging programs to deal with the large volume fragmented items (Note: The more free memory you have, the better a defragging program works because it has more room to move files around with.)
6. Delete items such as cookies and internet history.
7. Compress large files that aren't used often.
8. Manage your data with various folders and sub folders. That way it's easier to see what you need and don't need and where the items that you want deleted are.
9. DO NOT save items in random areas of your hard drive because chances are you will forget about them and it may sit there forever, just taking up space.

The Entertainment Industry - Out of Ideas?

Has the entertainment industry done everything possible. Every year people claim that the television, gaming, and movie industry has run out of ideas, but they usually pull through with a bunch of new ideas. However, many of these new ideas now just seem to be the same concept in different genres. For example, if there is a movie about capturing a criminal to get back a police officer's badge (or whatever) then it may be in a few different movies with very little differences other than some take it seriously and others make it into a comedy. Other signs of this lack of ideas comes in the form of remakes. We saw it first with the television series Knight Rider, and now with 90210, and Hawaii Five-O. These remakes are in no way bad, however, it may be evidence that we are looking to the past for ideas that have been used over and over again. Almost every movie now seems to have a cliche plot and the only movies that really mess with people's minds are psychological thrillers that are just so over the top that there is no way that they could run out of ideas. We need to start thinking of new ideas, and fast. Otherwise this lack of ideas could create a serious issue in all things entertainment. It hasn't hit the gaming industry too hard yet, due to the fact that many games are over the top and different art styles keep people engaged, as well as the new motion controllers that are coming out. However, surely game developers will slowly start running out of ideas. The evidence: the massive amount of sequels, trilogies, and sagas that are being released all based off one core idea.

Don't Having Video Editing Software? Youtube Has It Covered.

Youtube has recently released an online video editor that allows you to edit your most recently uploaded videos. You can sort of cut the videos by dragging playheads to make them shorter and then you can add other videos in. From this editor you can also use the AudioSwap feature that Youtube has had for a while. Unfortunately, the music added with completely overwrite the soundtrack of the video you're editing. However, this online editor is a great alternative for people with slow computer and/or no video editing software. Be sure to check it out!

Does More Features Warrant a Worse Online Community?

This question has been asked by many people who play Modern Warfare 2. At first the vast array of additional features seemed nice. They included things such as Pro Perks, different guns, and various equipment options. However, over time, many gamers have discovered various "exploits" or "cheap methods" of playing the game by combining these new features together to create annoying playing methods (ie using the grenade launcher then getting continual ammo from it by using "One Man Army"). Many people have actually stopped playing this game in order to avoid these annoying people. What should be done about this? Everyone wants more features, but as it seems, it just uncovers more ways to cheat and annoy other people. It actually appears that the better a game is, the worse the online community grows.

Clash of the TItians

                                 I finally got to see the movie Clash of the Titians 2010. Which is a remake of the 1981. I have never seen the 1981 Clash of the Titians but if it is anything like the 2010 one then it will be worth a watch. The acting in Clash of the Titians is grate I could not find one part with any acting that was less then grate. This movie keeps you on the edge of your seat from the start. Every time they go into battle you can not stop hoping that none of the charters die. I really enjoyed the story behind the movie. Of course I do not know much about Greek mythology so the this story could be completely wrong. All I can say is give it a chance if you have not all ready.
