Registry Cleaners and Memory Software

Posted onAuthorTips Of Tech2 Comments

Ok I took a test drive of a few “computer Tweaker ” programs that have been well voted for on Cnet and ZDnet. They all were easy to locate, and I saw that thousands and millions have downloaded these.  I organized first by number of downloads, and by most votes. I then organized by highest vote score. all three times, these three programs came up in the top. So I decided they where the best options of this test.

The machine is Nforce 750A with AMD 5600+ two gigs of  pc 6400

dual 9500 gt 500mb Nvidia cards (sli)

Operating system is Vista Ultimate Service Pack 1

Installations were:
Registry Mechanic 9.00.0114 Of course this is a trial software.

Advanced Registry Optimizer 2010

CCleaner 2.29.1111

I really saw/felt no changes as I played a few games after each install. I am quite disappointed in the Pc gaming community. It seems there is a new wave of newbie techies advising people to use this stuff. Why do we go through this exact same wave every single time a new Operating system is released? It really seems like every time an OS is out, 8 months later there is a batch of people giving advise to use this stuff. Like memory boosters. After another 5 months, you start getting advice to overclock. You see posts like “Over clocking does not harm your computer” and masses of 20+ people backing this theory in threads of forums. Then three months later ” Help my video games have black streaks in them” Well you clearly over heated and fried your card.

End result.. Nothing fantastic. I guess what people see as being a new faster cleaner running machine, is a trick of the eye slight of hand. I swear every time I wash my car, it feels like it runs better.

Please if anyone has a new Registry software they want me to try out. and they are certain it works, Give me a thorough description of the software. Nothing larger than 15MB or I won’t touch it. This post i really wanted to go into detail, I really was ready for it. Right now i am nothing but so upset for installing this stuff I can’t write any detail other than… junk, junk, junk.

Personally I am sick of helping people after they stumble into this useless junk.
Your registry is written to for every program that is installed on your computer. These are lines of commands to tell your computer how to handle these programs. That’s it. Those lines of commands are never used if you do not use programs associated to what is has been written to your registry. Meaning: if you uninstall a program and never use that program again, then nothing on your computer will request that specific line, so that line does not have to be erased. that line will just never be necessary again. It does you no good to remove the registry entries from uninstalled programs. but you could possibly damage your computer by removing the wrong line of code. and no…. not all registry cleaners know every single program in the world and what they each use or write  in your registry.

When Will GTA5 Be Announced?

Posted onAuthorGame News

Here, Grand Theft Auto Five Speculations and Rumors

Many people on the internet are expecting to see Rockstar at E3 2010 to announce GTA 5. You have to ask yourself ” when was the last time Rockstar announced a new game at E3?” . If I am not mistaken. The last time they announced a new Grand Theft Auto at  any convention was GTAIII. After that day, Rockstar has not announced the release date until after “leaking” small bits of information about release dates, and then playing out a month or so of riddles and clues with the GTAFORUMs gang.Also it does not fit the format of  Grand Theft Auto game releases. We are on a brand new gaming platform. Rockstar has not used the New platform yet for the other two games that use this engine. Vice city and San Andreas have yet to be released on the new engine.  Rockstar numbers their game releases by engine. Well of course that’s how it has been done since… what 97 or 98? Why change that now ?

Every time Rockstar Games releases the big three games, all three are released on the same engine. Last time this happened, the engine got small tweaks (possibly influenced by the gta modding communities) Making the game smoother and less resource hogging (PC term). This allows them to them make the graphics better and add more game play using less storage and less stress on your gaming gear. It would be unwise to release a new gaming engine to release a new city. Count on the next big Grand Theft Auto to be released, to be Vice City or San Andreas. Also count on a few small variations of these two before you see the next Grand Theft Auto engine.

One of the first GTA rumors sites. That is the longest Grand Theft Auto News and Rumors website. I respect this old schooler because I think he is probably the only guy on the internet who has been playing the game as long as I have, and as consistent. Here is a GTA forum you can join and post your opinions, Hopes, wishes or rants. It’s ok, I know the owner of the site really well. He wont gripe much. That place has kinda turned into just PS3 users.

We can be sure that the next Grand Theft auto we see, will be GTAIV Vice city, or GTAIV San Andres Or a surprise left hook from London. Count on 4 more years.

Happy gaming.

Oh if you want more, Here more on the same subject of the Next Grand Theft auto

Why I Hate Linkedin

Posted onAuthorComputer Tweaker

The number one thing I hate the most is a friend in my address-book sending me crap to sign up to. I hate that friend who is so stupid they sign up to a site and it asks them the password to their email account so the website can see how many of their friends are on  that website’s services. I hate when that person comes back to me the next day asking me how they can get their email back from the spammer who stole it. I hate having to fight with and for them at the same time.
Nothing makes me want to say ” Dude you are an idiot, I got the email the day you signed up to “insert site name here,here,here,here. So I know exactly how you lost your email password.”

Websites that force you to give up your email password so you can use their services, IMHO have no respect or scruples whatsoever. The people who sign up to those sites, further encourage them to think it is okay to do so.

How does this all tie into linkedin?

linkedin page

This is what I see

I see this when I hit the “Home” button. It takes me to that lump of tacky steaming hot junk. So I went through the whole set up of trying to just give it my email  and password, because they wanted to “see how many friends I have using it” it shows i have 114 in my addy book, and forces me to select as many as I have to invite them all. I unchecked everyone and selected accept send or what ever, it refreshed and made me sign back into linkedin, and it showed me the same page. I am appalled by this. I thought this was a tech community, not a “hey the internet used to be full of scammers who did this all the time and people fell for it and we all called them idiots but these are different days now so it’s it is ok now” type of website full of morons who make sparkly myspace  web-pages that cause seizures.

I clearly am not accepted at linkedin because my I.Q. Is clearly far to high.

Motorola and Android – Backflip

Posted onAuthorTech Review Man

It was needed.

Motorola BACKFLIP With MOTOBLUR for AT&T

Motorola Really needed this.

This phone looks like a really good phone. Slim with a large screen area.

The full keyboard of this phone puts it above any existing blackberry. That is for texting reasons of course. It’s the all of the add on software you can get, they call them apps. These far exceed the number of hackberry apps. This clearly proves that blackberry should try and dabble with the android system before it is to late.

Motorala builds some very well built phones, mechanically that is. So this software and their eye for design and dependability is a great merger.

The fact they leave the full keyboard in pushable smashable buttons instead of going for just touch (like most of the android phones recently), is probably the largest greatest and most appreciated part of this phone. This phone is the G1  that should have been.I predict this phone being more common than the Moto Razor ever was. To bad it’s currently only on AT&T. If they changed services to anything GSM other than AT&T i would jump to this phone.

Youtube as of This Date

Posted onAuthorTech Review Man

If by chance you have been under a log eating millimites for the past 6 years or so. Youtube is a place where people can upload a video to be served across the internet. For years it was basically like America’s funniest home videos and MTv meshed together.  sounds cool?  actually it kinda was. A zillion videos  of guys getting kicked in the junk and Metallica songs. But now there is a new world. Everyone on Youtube seems to be a news announcer. But they all seem to follow the same exact fashion. They record the entire news reel, then cut in scenes to animate the section. i don’t mean cartoons, I mean some sort of cartwheel or they pause the recording, then stick their face way into the camera and make a look of “uh hmm, I see what you are doing there” then they pause the video regain posture and start the video again carrying on the news as if they never stopped. On top of that, they do the whole dang thing talking/yelling at the top of their lungs. I mean really.. We do have volumes on the computer and on the speakers, you really do not have to yell. Welcome to the internet….. Moron….I can only watch about two or three of those videos before I start feeling like the world should have a law against mass repetition.

Example 1 done well… kinda . Seems to be a pretty good music blogger doing a video.

Example 2 , this kind makes me insane. It’s a (bare with me on this, it’s going to hurt when you try and wrap your head around how stupid and very useless this is) a guy, on youtube, telling you about a video on youtube. He actually put the words “raw footage” in the name and does not understand why people get offended when they see him in the video.

Now the oldschool, was a.d.d

Example I know this video is new and very 4chan/reddit feeling. Good. That’s the way it used to be. You have to be on the news to know the news and the humor in it. It happens very very fast.

Ok, so what. This is a pointless rant. It will solve nothing. and the next re-run will take over sooner or later.

Just would be nice if they would do something new…. soon

Is Nvidia Doing the ATI Thing?

Posted onAuthorComputer Tweaker

ATI decided a while back not to make that many low end video cards that have SLI. This of course takes away the chance of you buying two low end cards . One while you can, and later one when you can afford it again. I can see the plus in it for the video card makers.  Less newbies screaming about crappy manufacturing.  but also less newbies becoming pro by problem solving and wanting to upgrade and get more  performance.

I kind of notice this after the 9800 cards. Look at compusa and fry’s and look at teh PCI-E cards you will see that the low end cards 2xx all of the low end budget cards no longer have SLI connections on top.

I am disappointing in this. I guess I can start using ATI again, my motherboard is just about obsolete anyway.

I mean if NVidia is going to be like them, then why not just use them.

Selling Playdom Mobsters Account

Posted onAuthorGame News

Let’s say you have a level 61, this level 61 has a 4,945,412,000 bounty on it’s head and well over 20,000 Energy. It has greater than 100 billion in it’s possession, tons of godfather prizes and playdom prizes. Let’s say you have spent the last two years with that account as your “ace in the hole”. What I mean by ace in the hole is, it’s a small account, but not so small that you have no property you can buy for a fair price. In fact you have tons of choices of land and buildings. Well you have this account just sitting there. You log in daily to return energy, but never really do anything with it. That is of course until you get into trouble in the battlefield.

Once you get cornered, your level 400+ is getting slapped around with two level 100s. You can not retaliate. So you log into the level 61 and hitlist each of the two, ten times straight back to back.  Occasionally you attack them after you hitlist them, this leaves you to collect your bounty and get a kill under your belt. The account has faced many of rivals, there is no mark to show the endless numbers of people hitlisted with this account. Because it is just there to put them on the list

If I let go of something like these accounts, I would have to just say take the whole bunch for $300. I would be crippled without one.

These accounts are purely 100% legit. I never used a bot, I never used any kind of cheat other than an occasional trip to sumob so I could buy land on the property calculator.

Not sure what I would do with my level 400+

That one of course would go for no less than $200 it’s self.

I am not so sure I actually want to sell them. I have never had an offer. Nor am I requesting an offer. Simple truth I don’t know if playdom or myspace allow that kind of stuff. I would consider it if someone could show me that it is legal and probably placed an offer.

I dunno maybe this is just a rant of being tired of keeping up with the accounts.

Linux User Rant About Microsoft vs Apple

Posted onAuthorTech Review Man

Apple Versus Microsoft

Do we not get tired of hearing the same argument over, time and again? ” Well Microsoft is better than  apple just look how many users we have” the retort is “well look at how many viruses you have”. and then as we all shrug at the next statement as a reaction is ” well that is because we have so many users, who in their right mind would create a virus for a mac?? why bother with infecting the three mac users out there” This always stumps the mac guy so he usually mauls around all the stupid responses he can come up with then he responds with the big be all end all answer ” Well i don’t care how many users there are on mac or Microsoft, I just like how much better Mac edits video and audio files”.

Really… Really??? Really guy? show me this huge massive collection of videos you have created and all the audio content you edited. Don’t show me some stupid cd you burned at 2 seconds faster on your mac than what some other dude could have done on his windows machine, Don’t send  me to look at some clump of pirated videos you burned to a CD or DVD collection. I will have to, by all means  grab my keyboard and give you a close frontal of a home row tattoo.

“Well a Macintosh is the best computer you can put windows on” . Ok that reaction is pretty good. Not that it is says either is better than the other, it does say that mac actually took the time to find the right set of components and slap them into one machine and mass produce many slightly varied versions of it and know that all parts are a great fit together. Cool great deal. What happens if you have two identical macs, format one and install windows on it, and install equivalent software on each and begin a benchmark? and then check out software that has no match and see what one is the best bang for the buck.  Can the mac play as many games? of the game they both can play which many plays the games the best,fastest,smoothest, has better image quality? What machine has the largest collection of software to be installed and used between the two ? Has either company broken any labor laws? ok that was a mean stab.

Truth is, since Macintosh has a legal bind against Microsoft saying that Microsoft can not build personal computers, after so many years They should at least agree to build computers that Microsoft can be installed on. Wait I guess they already do, since they are 90% PC parts already. The only big Money Microsoft can look forward to is to build something like a tablet or mobile device that you can not technically call a computer, and install it’s operating system on it. Wait.. I guess they already. We call them palm.

Well I am glad they both make an operating system you can install on a thumb drive and take on you when you make a family trip across country and do not feel like bringing your whole computer. Wait?? they don’t? Why not?? Oh you say because the instabilities and mass driver errors? I guess that makes sense. I mean how could any operating system be put on something so small . i mean that would be like  a pendrive boot disk. I guess that would take an operating system used by NASA or good enough to be used in most schools across the country. Would be crazy to think you could do everything Microsoft claims to do or be even better on a mac than mac is, all the while run from a measly 4 gig (or greater if you want) thumb drive.

Man if good wishes could come true.

USA Global Business Trust Website Hacked

Posted onAuthorGame News

They claim safety for your business and protection for your business, yet they went down like a rock. They are only safe because they have not had any real threats.
They either set up a challenge they could not back, or they upset the wrong group by getting someone arrested.. Or fired the wrong guy.

The statement on the page left by the Hackers is

Usa Global Gets Hacked

Usa Global Becomes less Safe in this instance

USA Global’s website .

This is serous business here. I am assuming the email address they left is for someone who is not connected to them, because that sure is a huge paper trail they left for themselves. since government in many countries are right now as we speak, looking to  incriminate people  cross continents by some new internet safety law.

Now I am not for that law but it is in the making. All they have to worry about is the government waiting for it to pass before they make a legal move on this. And that this bank isn’t some weird angry bent nose group with  derby hats and striped pants…..

Weird is, I see no one else reporting this already. Go figure a girl showed me this,  asking if that meant she had a virus.
