Not long ago Auslogics Software Pty Ltd released a new version of its Windows optimization software BoostSpeed. It’s a suite that consists of 15 modules, Disk Defrag, Disk Cleaner, Internet Optimizer, Tweak Manager, Uninstall Manager among them. BoostSpeed finds and deletes junk files, cleans and defragments disks and the registry, protects your computer by erasing your internet history, optimizes your Internet connection and many more.

I had the previous version installed on my computer and have been using it for some time, so I upgraded.

Here’s what caught my eye when I first used it:

1. I was really pleased to find the latest version of their DiskDefrag inc

Chief Learning Officers (CLOs) and other IT managers increasingly turn to training brokers for help locating the best of breed.

Training brokers connect their clients with the right resource, be it a training provider or an expert trainer that can fulfill their clients' needs while saving the clients a substantial amount of money.

Although several market leaders in the training and certification space continue to thrive, there is no single provider that can assimilate and offer ALL of the dynamic content of the major IT vendors while accommodating the continuous training and certification demands of the growing array of corporate and individual clients.

As a matter of fact, providers of training and certification services are unable to accommodate internally more

It’s hard to imagine our personal or professional lives without email.  It’s fast, it’s easy and for the most part it’s free.   There’s no doubt that email has changed the way we communicate and revolutionized the way we do business, but alas, it does have its shortcomings.

There are two major problems that businesses often face when using email.  The first is something you’ve probably run into at one point or another, and that’s the inability of most email systems to send or receive large files.  However, there’s another problem with email that has lately become such a major issue that the federal government and many state governments have passed new laws to address it.  

The problem is th

Running a small business is hard, a statement that every business owner can identify with. One item we learn early on is that we can't do it all. We can try to do it all for many reasons, often times because we can't always afford to hire an expert. I understand this issue, and in the past, have dealt with the same thing. How many of you have tried to create your own company logo in Word or Publisher because a graphic design firm was out of your price range? I know my first logo was done that way. However, there comes a time where we all need to realize as business owners, that experts are needed and should be seen as an investment instead of a cost.

The question you need to stop and ask yourself before moving forward is, "Do you want an expert or technician?"

Today’s mobile phones combine nearly all functionality offered by separate portable devices, making it a great advantage to the users who want to have everything at hand when on the go, and do not want to carry too many gadgets or be afraid of leaving something behind.  Mobile users do not have to carry photo and video cameras, laptops, address books or other necessities -- nearly every option is available in one tiny device.  Offering many more options than those of previous generations, devices like smartphones combine some great capabilities offered by computers, photo and video cameras, and phones, making a busy life more manageable than ever.

But what threats do users encounter when they own and carry mobile phones? One of the biggest worries is loss or thef

If you're a business owner, it's likely that some of your recent workdays have gone something like this: You bolt awake (probably after a sleepless night!), grab the financial section of the paper, and turn on your TV to get the latest worrisome financial news. Then, once you make it to work, you lock yourself in your office to carefully examine your company's financial projections for the next few months, wringing your hands as you fret over every possible worst case scenario. Sound familiar? If so, David Giannetto says it's time for the handwringing to stop—and the smart thinking to begin.

"The word 'recession' by itself has been known to send business owners into a panic," says Giannetto, coauthor along with Anthony Zecca of The Performance Power Grid: The Prov

An inflatable Bounce house is a fun and creative way to bring enjoyment to almost any kind of party or event. Not only are Bounce houses relatively cheap when you consider their size and the amount of people they can entertain; they are also safe and loved by adults and children alike.

Different Types of Bounce Houses:

Children's Obstacle Courses - Bounce houses shaped like obstacle courses are great for those that want to experience a little bit more than just bouncing around. They are great when it comes to making fun games to participate in whilst on the inflatable Bounce house.

Basketball Court - What better way to score a slam dunk, than when you are able to leap 6 feet into the air thanks to the inflatable Bounce castle that you are on. An infla

In today’s day and age when things have become so complex,  have we ever taken a breather to step back and look at how it all became this way?  The answer is simple God invented man, man discovered science and science took over from there and destroyed God…  In trying to simplify one’s life we have made it miserably complicated. 

We cant live without GPS systems in our cars we need the Microwave to turn on just minutes before we walk in the door, we want our computers to listen and type as we speak and then edit what we have done… we want the world to do what our whims desire and in doing so we get paralyzed when a battery dies in our cell phone or we run into a bad patch and don’t have coverage. Or when the ATM is not working

There is good news right around the corner. Somewhere in the middle of summer, Microsoft will release a long-awaited update to its popular Windows Small Business Server product, known affectionately as SBS 2008. The timing couldn’t be better for several reasons impacting both small and medium business (SMB) channel partner consultants and small business customers.

Small Business Customers – Taking Technology To The Next Level!

The release of SBS 2008 requires a hardware-level upgrade for most small businesses to 64-bit processor technology. That suggests good times ahead for server manufacturers and for SMB consultants. But even better times are ahead for small businesses. Going to 64-bit technology is not as absurd in developed countries as you might think. Re

I received an interesting e-mail early today from a professional associate. He writes that “We are going to transition to WEBS as soon as it is available, as our agency has grown by leaps and bounds since we implemented SBS.  I haven't been this excited about a software release since... well, ever.” This friend, Michael, is the IT manager for a small not-for-profit agency in Bend, Oregon, a town known for great skiing. HE has worked with Windows Small Business Server (SBS) for many years and is now excited about the soon-to-be release Windows Essential Business Server (called EBS by Microsoft).

Some readers will recall a time before Y2K when Microsoft had a popular network infrastructure software bundle on the market called BackOffice. This product consisted of
