Installed StarOffice using Google Updater

I installed StarOffice using Google updater and I would say it is very good. If you are looking for a serious alternative to MS Office, StarOffice is for you.

StarOffice is not free [unlike OpenOffice, on which it is based]. It costs about $70, way much less than MS Office. However, it combines many proprietary features like a better spell checker and so is better than OpenOffice. I read somewhere that Sun takes a snapshot of OpenOffice source code once in a while and then adds some features to it to make StarOffice.

Why one should target MSN Live rather than Google

Webmasters often think of achieving high positions for keywords in Google. Google may be the de facto web search standard, but targeting MSN Live can be much more beneficial.

I will explain why. Google takes longer times to index the pages of the site. Its algorithm gives more importance to the age of the site and backlinks, rather than the actual content. For, if you create a page with more keywords and solid content, it still takes sometime for the page to appear in the search engine ranking positions.

I got a blue screen of death. I rebooted the computer and it wouldn’t boot. It just kept beeping at me.

I opened up the case and cleaned some of the dust from the mother board and tried to boot it again. This time it started working.

I have some screenshots which I took with my crappy MP4 player. The quality is not so good, but I hope the images serve their purpose

Is your computer loading slow ? It may be because of unused files that are cluttering your PC. There are many tools available that can automatically clean all these files and optimize your system. Some examples of such software include TuneUp Utilities, System Mechanic, etc. However, one software beats them all-CCleaner (formerly Crap Cleaner). Some of its cool features are:

• Free! It is a freeware and can be downloaded from www.ccleaner.com 
• Extremely small size. Similar software like TuneUp Utilities are much bigger that CCleaner.
