Monumental Question - Pc or Mac?

Oh no he didn't just ask that. Ah, the universal question that everybody has an opinion on. Well I'm about to give you mine.

Macs - Great computers overall. Almost impossible to get viruses on unless your a total idiot and try to download them knowingly. Only one big downside. Expensive with a capitol E.

Pc - What i have. Can be great computers overall. People think Macs are better because they can't get viruses. Well I say foohey to that. The only reason they think that, is because 70% of all PC owners don't have the proper security measures. If you want to find out how to get security for your PC, then just go and click on my other posts. It's that easy. Plus, you can buy PC's for sometimes half as less as Mac's. HALF!

I know this won't answer the question at all, and i don't expect it to. I'm just a dude giving my perspective on a question. Peace Out.

Basics - Volume #1 - Ram

No, not the goat with curly horns. I'm talking about the computer chips you put into your computer. Lots of people that ask me how to speed up their computer think that it's mostly due to their processor. Not true. While the processor does play a major role, it doesn't affect speed as much as RAM does. An amazing processor can easily burn and crash without enough RAM.
"What does RAM stand for?" Random Access Memory. Sounds confusing right? Well, let me put it to you in layman terms so you can understand it better. RAM is like energy we get from eating food. If we don't get enough, then we do things slower. Same goes for RAM. Without an adequate amount of RAM, you'll likely see things slow down.
"How do i get this sacred RAM?" Almost every major electronics store will carry it online or you could go to Frys (personal favorite).
"How do i find what kind of RAM I need?" Well, lucky for you, It's EASY. Just go to MemoryCheck . Then click check my system. This website will tell you what you need then let you buy it! Isn't that cool?

Basics - Volime #1 - Hijackers/Keyjackers

Hijackers and Keyjackers are just some different names for he same thing - a Thief. They have programs nowadays that will actually tell thieves what your typing. How is this bad you ask?

1. They can see your social security number.
2. Have access to any site you have an account on.
3. Credit card number. Gone.
4. Say Bye Bye Mr. American security.

Make sure you keep your anti-virus updated. Take some time to go on the FireFox website and download some security measures for your browser. Whats a few minutes of finding security if it saves you time and money? Have a good one.
