Fix iTunes Delayed Startup Freezing and Problems Importing Music

One thing that happened to me and a few other people is that iTunes freezes or is delayed on startup and freezes or crashes or delays when importing music or connecting an iPod. The fix for this is very simple. If you have a newer computer the reason it does this is usually because of a problem with your CD drive(s). IDE or SCI bus drives may be interfering with one another. This may be cause of running a Virtual Drive. I may be assuming wrong but I am assuming that people running one know how to disable it using the Device Manager. If this isn't the case and your computer is older you need to updsate your Bus Driver. The best way is to find out your chipset and go to whom ever makes your motherboard which is different than your PC maker and go to their support page. If you have no virtual drives running, your computer has new hardware, and your Bus Drivers are up to date than the problem is that you have your IDE and SCI drives on the same driver and you need to reconfigure them.

Google to sell more ads than anyone else

This year, Google will sell more ads than any other media source in the world. Google sells ads for its AdSense program. Google uses the ads on the search results to provide relevant text ads related to the search query. People can also sign up for the program to place the ads on their own site, and then get a cut of the profits per click. AdSense is the program we use to place ads on this site.

Killer Tech-News About the Blog

Just wanted to let you all know about what's to come very soon.
First, the most notable change to our site is the addition of ads. As much as we hate ads and don't want to put them on the site, it is a good way for us to collect money to add more stuff to the site.
In the next few weeks we will be getting a domain name for the site. I am currently working on a new design for the site that will add more fucntionality but still have similar characteristics to the current theme, and still have part of the site be a blog-style news portal. Because killertech.com is taken, a slight name change is planned.
Also, as was obvious, last week we did not post a podcast. Hopefully we will get around to making one soon. Maybe once the new site is launched and we have some more freedom as to what we can do.
More information is to come!

Cleaning up your PC

For all you people who download freeware and random apps know after a few years it adds up and will fill up your computer. Here are someways too keep your hard drive on empty and your ram usage low with all those damn .dll threads.

For one, clear out your temp folder. Go to run and then put in %temp%. Then delete everything in this folder that you can(you cannot delete files being used so don't worry if it says it cannot delete) and leave ones that won't delete.

Now delete your internet cache. Your internet chache is a folder where your web pages are stored for quick viewing later. To delete open your web browser and under options check clear cache and stored pages as long as clear cookies. There is an option for how much space your browser is allowd to use for these files. Depending how big your hard drive is you can set that yourself.

Delete your custom or downloaded fonts! Fonts often use up a lot of space and slow down word processors. Too many may cause your word processor to crash frequently.

After you have done the above the its time to defragment your hard drive. As you probably know go to Start-programs- accesories-system tools- disk defrag. This helps a lot and should be done 2 or 3 times a year depending on how bad you are with installing and uninstalling programs.

If you really know what your doing you should clean out registry files from old programs. This file may help you. www.jv16.org
