I am thinking of really attending one of those microsoft conferences. Going to conferences is very important, because not only you empower yourself with some tech geeky knowledge, but you also live the life of a nerd. No, seriously you get to learn alot, and most importantly, you learn from alot of experts, and make some valuable connections. The conferences have always some goodies to give away, and very great topics on many experts elaborate on. Why not be a part of a conference, and think about attending one.

One of the easiest ways to make your computer fast is by following some clean tweaks
Well, one of the best ways is cut to down all the crap in your background. Believe it or not, if we cut down to only what we really need, we can truly fasten our computers at a light speed. Well, not that fast, but it does have a effect. We have to cut down in start ups, so you can do this by going to start—> run—> type in msconfig. Go and select startup, and check all the items you don’t need to startup. So, if you are into chatting, and you have msn/yahoo/aim/ all starting up at same time, cut them down. Unselect and start them as you need while your on the computer.

One of the best ways to kill time in school, or at work is grab onto the flash games. You see these are the reasons why arcade sites continue to be a success, because no matter what your age is – you always have a targeted audience. You targeted audience are all the souls that are simply bored, and you must find something online to entertain your mood. The best way is to pop in with the little kids, and play some arcade games.
Arcade games are mostly flash games, and they have a good incentive to keep you going, and that is who gets the top score. Check this game out, and you shall find out that it is quite a time killer. Again, if you are bored- this isn’t a bad choice for you. I remember when I used to be in school, and this is all I would do in computer classes. Well, I would play some counter strike, n64 emulator, and so on. Something memorable during your lovely days.

We see all these gadgets getting so cheap, but we never really see the apple gadgets get cheap. Apple has branded their products so well, that no matter who the competitor is, and how unique their product is, they will never beat the sleek design and the ease of use. The smooth edges, and the uniquity of the product is just far from different than any other product. You can get like the zen 30gb for a quarter of the 30gb video ipod, but people still prefer the ipod, just for the reason that it is very well made, and really nice looking.
I think the zune is done quite well, but now everyone is copying the scroll wheel. While companies copy apple, apple keeps making new generation products thus, making them the leader.

Being the Tech Geek in my group of friends, I always have a arsenal of software should a mishap arise. I always have a copy of Windows Xp SP2 installation CD as well as Hiren’s Boot Cd. This CD is a All-In-One Dos Bootable CD with partition tools, antivirus tools, password tools, and much more. With this CD you can either run it from my computer or boot to it. Booting to the Cd is helpful when you have malicious programs on your computer and you cannot load XP up. By booting to it you can run antivirus tools or even partition a hard drive. For those that are Tech Savvy or not, this CD is always a must have.

This helpful hint is useful when you somehow forget your password for an account. There are two ways to reset the password:One is to use an administrator account and the other is to use command prompt without an administrator account.
If you know that password for the Administrator account it is quite easy to reset a password for an individual user. Click Start then right click My Computer and then go to Manage. Once there expand local user and groups and the right click on the username and click set password. If you wish to choose no password leave it blank.
The second method is useful when you do not have an administrator account. To reset a password in command prompt click start and then Run, in the box type CMD. After you enter it a black box will appear. In the box type “Net UserAccountName *” without quotes.
So on my computer it will look like
” C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator>net user Admin *”.
Hit enter and it will ask for the new password and if you don’t want to put in a password, leave it blank.

I found a great site that has disposable email addresses as well as logins you can use for thousands of sites. Basically a disposable email address is an email which you can use for one time. An example of when to use this is when you sign up for a forums and you don’t want to give up your real email address. You can use these email address to avoid spam or any other unwanted emails. This emails take literally 2 seconds to make because it avoids any signup steps.
This site is also useful for using logins for thousands of sites. For those who don’t want to waste time creating an account can just get one from BugMeNot.com. All you do is type in the name of the site and search. It is also helpful to look on the success ratings to see if the login and password still work.
