Why is my computer so slow?


Today is 5th day I am asking my friend Lucia for coming over and spending some time to fix my PC, it is very slow indeed. I can’t play on this; my whole vacation is going to be spoiled if I have to depend on her.
I was thinking of an alternative way to call a professional man and get this work done. I checked local mag and found few ads on door step PC maintenance professionals, they claim to do a lot at your place like: “Your computer will start working like new”, some once says “Speed up your PC in 1 hour”, one company claims to be the “BEST PC cleaner” and so on, hard to believe all this. In addition to that, I will have to spend all my pocket money probably.
I was look for a cheaper solution to fix my PC problem, some king of PC cleaner which can speed up my system quickly at no cost or free if possible. I called my classmate Monica, she is one of my best friend, she was out in garden and her mom picked up my call, “Hello” and it started raining words from other end, her mom is kind of encyclopedia of anything you imagine. “Okey my kid… what’s bugging you?” she was asking and I thought to break her ideas of being smart. “I want to fix my computer and play some games on it connecting on network with Monica” a little pause and “My computer is show, do you know why my computer is so slow?”
I was thinking, she is going to call Monica from window and ask her to talk, but to my surprise she didn’t do that, she answered, I was speech less. “Well, you know this is not a big deal for Acebyte Utilities, you can clean your old junk files and it will take care of your PC” What is this “Acebyte”? I asked.
She again started like usual “Acebyte does everything to keep your computer fast and healthy, it has got all the tolls required to fix your small PC problems, download free and try.”
Instead of sitting ideal at home, I thought to give a try, I knew the website name, (she told me that: www.acebyte.com). I opened the website and found a download link on their first page. Usual “hit me” kind of download button. So I clicked on that. And that’s all, it downloaded, so quick, I thought it would be a 200 MB + file, but no, it was a very small download. I checked on website, they are offering 15 days free trail, and that was enough for me to trust.
Now I am installing this “Acebyte Utilities”. Well it was quick enough to install and I can see a good looking small window with some good looking buttons on it like: quick scan, deep scan, registry cleaner, utilities box, turbo boost and many more. I clicked on “quick scan” and it stared to show me lots of errors I had in my PC. It showed me junk files, registry problems, shortcut problems, system problems and something call privacy sweep. Now I could see button scan changed into “Clean”, this is the one I was waiting for. I clicked on that and ALL OVER, all cleaned my PC is done now? No, it can not happen so fast, I could not believe, ok, lets test this now.
I stared playing my heavyweight game (this is the one responsible for my slow PC) and yes… in fact my PC is working like a new one.
I think Acebyte worth 20 bucks, even more. Now I use Acebyte once in a day and use my computer like a brand new one. It does all you need to fix your PC problems. It works on your registry, system speed, junk files, hard disk and RAM to speed up your PC.
I am sure my vacation now is going to be one of the best thanks to Monica’s mom and “Acebyte Utilities”.

New launch of Crowdsourcing: AskYourUsers.com uses LinkedIn to help find you people for Microconsulting projects

Crowdsourcing and crowdfunding were two of the biggest trends to impact how companies - especially small businesses and sole traders - raise money, with sites like Kickstarter.com and in the circle of funding UK attract attention to be an excellent means of support for projects or business ideas around the world traditional and costly loans of the Bank in the process.

Now launching a website that gives this model a further twist: AskYourUsers.com is a simple service that helps you find people for projects microconsulting lasting not more than 15 minutes - and it uses your LinkedIn network to help you find them.

Demo that I saw, the service is basically simple, but it works very well and definitely solves a need - that Amelia Dunne and his co-founder, Chris Bumgardner, essentially trébuchés on involuntarily:

The two had worked together on the ideas of how to start for the past four years, and finally both left their day jobs to focus on the startups full time:

"But after a month of development, we always tried to validate the idea uncomfortable of our time and money, building the prototype of expenditure", she says. "The validation process has been lengthy, costly and we were not finding the right people to talk to, or receive objective feedback." AskYourUsers.com is the tool that we wanted to, we could use – but there was no. We have determined that the value that he has AskYourUsers.com worth developing even if only for our own use. Quickly, he clearly indicated on the economic plan. We were surprised to learn how inefficiently other startups were conducting their studies of market, held focus groups and learn from their customers, needs, and interests.

This included businesses to engage in the long and costly process for in-person focus groups; companies with messages from Craigslist to hire individuals who could provide feedback; using Surveymonkey to filter by the respondents and choose which interview. The time spent on the analysis of the results is another question. "We knew that the process could be easier that what we (and other start-ups) were living," she said.

The solution is a simple web interface that allows you to identify issues, determine tasks (user test, comments on an item and so on), how many people you want to target and even certain demographic information. Then, you pay $22 by "consultant". On the end of consultation, potential aid put an hourly of $20-40, with each job paying a minimum of $7.50. The site advises that if you charge $40 or more you can not obtain as much work.

Then AskYourUsers made the rest.

Dunne, said that it believes this could be the first to use LinkedIn to help find people. It is an interesting way to use the social network focused on the business not only for networking, but to actually make a little money. LinkedIn, however, is that the early, said. The plan is to integrate Facebook Connect soon, and other new services that it intends to deploy in the next quarter.

With regard to funding, the company supports the road less network for now: totally self-funded. "We have not yet explored additional funds or spoken to potential donors, but we intend to start to seek angel funding shortly after the launch of this beta, Dunne, said."

The plan is for the shot now with a closed beta for the next two months. Dunne, said the company already has some startups, awaiting its first customers at launch.

And for readers who would like to try at the beginning at their own request of microconsulting, we have a code. The first 1,000 users go to the site and enter 66214506-5229-48d6-be5f-6eff5a164b68 may do so free of charge. I am sure that they would love your comments.

OH and P.S. The start, they worked on? A mobile application for promotions in real time where merchants offer things for free (equipment, gifts, inexpensive products). One to look out because I assume that in the future.
