What’s IE?
Non- techy Friend: What does Internet Explorer do exactly?
Me: It let’s you download better web browsers such as Google Chrome and FireFox.
Have a great weekend :D
Less RAM = More Productivity?
A theory sparked while listening to one of Stever Robins Get It Done podcasts.
If you had less memory in your PC, would you work more as a result of more demanding processes, such as gaming being unable to run?
If your not good at managing distractions (and a pc is distraction central) then perhaps getting a PC with less memory would be beneficial for you.
You don’t need more than a gig of ram to run word processing, spreadsheet software and you’d save a lot of money too.
Thanks for Reading :)

A good infection of data?
Today I was talking with my friend (Robohedgehog) just after our programming lecture about an idea for a mobile app which spread to other phones in order to simulate the infection rate of an airborne biological virus.
Initially one phone would be “infected” and for every phone that passes within it’s wireless range would have a chance of becoming infected (based on real-time data such as distance between phones and environmental conditions), the process would continue with that newly infected phone. In real-time (or every hour (and delayed for slight security) ) the location of the infected handsets would be uploaded to a data centre that distributed the information to a website and also back to the infection application.
Secured - Part 2 Planning
Secured (Simple encryption freeware app)
If you missed part 1 the introduction, you can check it out by clicking here. This week I am getting the concept together, the basic plan of the program.
Secured - Part 1 Introduction
Secured (Simple encryption freeware app)
Over the next couple of weeks I aim to make an easy to use security program which encrypts text. The freeware application will be able to encrypt anything using a key or passphrase.
Game going bust, not surprised
GAME, the electronics entertainment company founded in 1991, as of November 2011 GAME had 1.2k stores worldwide. Earlier in the week it was announced that the company is going out of business putting 10,000 jobs at risk. And more recently it is said that the company must gather £180 million to stay afloat in the market.
This is no surprise to me. Every time I go to buy games, I always choose online because its often a lot cheaper than in store. I compare well known companies Play.com, Amazon.co.uk, HMV.com, Game.co.uk and Steam for the best price. I’m pretty sure most people do the same as online shopping is becoming more and more popular in recent years.
Whenever I check Game.co.uk for a product, it’s either ‘out of stock’ or the price is the same as when it originally retailed. How can this possibly compete with systems like Steam which often have deals of up-to 75% off major games.
Growing up I loved GAME, but only because it was my only source of games. If you want to stay in the market you’ve got to stay competitive.
