A new place to learn!

Are you one of those people who get severely confused each time you turn on your computer? Are you left clueless when searching the web?

If you answered yes to either question then you should check out this hot new site that we stumbled onto. Showu is a website that if focused on bringing you video tutorials from all over the web.

If your a computer beginner then you will love the beginner tutorials. It even has videos for seasoned vets! This site has just about everything you can think of. From changing your desktop background to learning a new programming language. If you dream of making 3D animation or totally customizing every part of your computer, than this site is for you.

On top of all the videos they have for your to view, they also have a community, although laking at the moment, it seems very promising.

Probably the main feature that is going to drive this site is the ability to make a bit of cash. Cold hard and honest cash! That is pretty hard to come by on the internet. This site tells you of two different ways that you can earn money.

If you think you have what it takes to create video tutorials, you can upload them to one site or submit them for payment to another! The greatest thing about making money on this site is that all your work is basically cut out for you. Since all the video authors put their videos on this site, they are all trying to advertise the site to bring in more income. If you advertise your video on this site along with several others, you are effectively advertising for everyone else as well. Once this site really gets its feet wet it will be a huge cash cow.

Starcraft 2: The Wait is Over!

Not too long ago, Blizzard Entertainment, announced their newest project. Starcraft 2! I, for one, simply can't believe it. I honestly had given up hope on ever seeing a sequel to the classic Starcraft. They are updating graphics, adding new units and doing an overhaul on their free to play servers.

If you haven't even played Starcraft or Starcraft:Broodwars I highgly suggest you pick up a copy today! It's a fast pace RTS game. It is extremely futuristic with a lot of flexibility. And if balance between the 3 optional races is your concern you have no need to worry.

This game has been around since the late 90's and the company has taken extreme measures to assure balance between the three races. So, no matter your preferance of race, you will also have a fair fighting chance! The community is still thriving as well. At any given time there are over 1000 games being played on each of their 4 different servers. It also allows different types of games styles. If you are not into RTS that much, you can opt to play a campaign map created by the community, play a defense map, bounds, watch a movie or even play classic games like monopoly with a Starcraft twist!

If you are a die hard fan like myself, then I will show you some of the new things they are included with the sequel.

• The graphics engine has been completely redone. Everything has gone 3d!
• Once again they will be including a map editor (a new one at that!)
• All of the classic buildings have been remodeled to fit better with the new 3d engine!
• Several new units!

The info that blizzard has released is very small. Currently they are only showing us the new units for the protoss race. They are as follows:

• Immortals

  This new unit replaces the old dragoon. Equipped with a new weapon and a devastating new shield against heavy artillery. While the new shield is great against strong units, it makes them vulnerable to weaker units.

• Stalker

  This unit replaces the Dark Templar. They are very similar to a dragoon. One of the best abilities of this new unit is blink (or teleport).

• Phase Prism

  The primary use of this unit is to transport forces across the battlefield. But perhaps the most useful ability is the psi field they can emit. Once you transform the unit you will be able to build structers powered by this unit without the need of a pylon!

• Phoenix

  This unit is replacing the scout and corsair. The unique ability this unit possesses is its AOE weapon. It has the ability to attack all units surrounding it at the same time. During the time it uses this attack it becomes weaker and easier to kill.

For a closer and more graphical look, you can check out the official Starcraft2 website. If you wanting to watch some in-game videos then follow the links below.

Squidoo a unique take on blogs and social networking.

This is simply a fantastic website. Imagine a place where you can sign upand talk about anything you wanted, sell products, participate in community activities and just make yourself and other feel good. This is what Squidoo is all about.

I highly suggest you all to sign up and become a member today. It's similar to having a blog but with a community of helpful members to help you out and who are looking for friends. I would have t say that this is a borderline social networking community. You can browse other peoples 'lens' as they are called to see what everyone else is up to. Not only that, you get paid for traffic to direct to your squidoo lens!

I set mine up over the past few days and I just started getting the hang of it. My lens is now published and you can view it by click here. Setting up your own Squidoo lens is fast and easy. Over the next few days I will adding stuff to our blog here on how to make even more money on Squidoo, as soon as I actually figure it out that is. One of our policies here at GetOnePC is to not promote anything that doesn't yeild results. So I just wanna be sure before I go off giving you ideas to make money if I we can't do it.

Once you sign up and create your lens the first thing you need to do is join some groups. Joining groups will help you get some traffic to your lens. At the beggining it will be very helpful! So don't neglect joining groups.

One last thing I recommend is filling out your bio and uploading a picture of yourself. People seem to have a greater sense of trust for those who are not affraid to share some of their personal interests. You don't want to look like a scam so, once again, be sure to fill out your bio and upload a picture.

Boot your computer faster!

Most of you may have problems with getting your computer to boot fast enough. I remember my first computer. The first time I pluged it in and booted it up I was soo overjoyed. It ran and it ran fast. However, the more I started using it the slower it seemed to be getting. It eventually got to a point to where I would boot it up and walk away for 10 minutes so it could fully load everything. At one point it got soo aggrivating that I started looking around for tips and tricks to get faster boot times.

Waiting for your computer to fully boot to a functional peice of technology can be a daunting task if you have a low amount of RAM and a lot of startup programs. I actually took my comptuer to a repair technician to get this problem solved. Their solution was to add more RAM and for a few weeks that seemed to do the trick. But it didn't last long. I soon came into the same problem. I remember the tech telling me that having more RAM can increase the overall speed of your computer so I started looking for information on how to get a hold of more RAM. Sadly, much to my surprise, I found out that I could not add any more RAM. My computer was maxed at 1GB of RAM.

After some experimenting I stumbled onto some extremely usefull information. I learned on RAM worked and I learned alot about how computers work. Here is what found out.

• All programs require RAM to start up and run.
• RAM is like a memory bank for your computer to help stat things faster.
• The more RAM your computer has, the more it can handle.
• RAM is used to store information about a program.
• RAM is used to speed up the process of opening and runing programs.

Now after I learned all that I started to evaluate my computer useage. Every time I booted my computer, it loaded around 20 or so programs. This was causing a 'bottleneck' of information and my CPU was on overload trying to load the programs because I simply didn't have enough
RAM. I came to realize that the less amount of programs you have starting up during your boot, the faster you computer will boot!

Keeping a clean desktop (having a lot of desktop icons can slow down boot times as well) and minimizing the amount of startup programs you have will greately increase your boot times. I only had to do this once....until I upgraded to Wndows Vista. Once again, the vista boot time droped dramatically. After I did it once in Windows Vista I went from a slow boot to a speedy boot.

Check out this video tutorial on how to get a faster boot time.

Widnows Vista -
The best OS yet.

So, why the late review you ask? I'll tell you why. Us here at GetOnePC don't like to take others words for it. Sure, we could have read others reviews, downloaded the beta and posted our thoughts but that isn't our style. It's both untruthful and inefficient. We have been using two different editions of Vista since release, Home Premium and Ultimate.

If you have been keeping up with the current rating on Windows Vista you may have noticed that thousands of people are complaining and trashing Vista. We just simply can't make biased decisions based on problems other people are having. Other peoples inability to get this OS working on their machine does not make Vista a bad OS. Let me tell you about the problems we did encounter.

Home Premium
The first edition we installed was Home Premium. Our system specs were the following....

• AMD X2 3400+ Dual Core CPU
• 2x 70GB Raptor Hard drives (10k rpm)
• 2x 7900 GTX GeForce Graphics Cards
• 2GB of Corsair DDR RAM
• Sound Blaster Audigy 2 Sound card
• 3 20.1 inch flat screen LCD monitors
• 5.1 Gigaworks wireless speaker system
• Standard keyboard/mouse with a Nostromo N52 gamepad

The first problem we encountered was a driver problem. Since we decided to go with the cheaper editions (the upgrades, not the full installs) we had to come from XP. Our first attempt to install the Vista upgrade resulted in freezes and an inability to complete the upgrade install. We then decided to start from scratch. So we wiped the hard drive and re-installed XP, then loaded the motherboard drivers and attempted to upgrade to Vista again. Needless to say, that failed as well. We continued doing this and changing a few options here and there until we just gave up on installing motherboard drivers before we got to Vista.

Our last, and successful, attempt to install Home Premium required us to go directly from XP to Vista and skip the motherboard installation. Amazingly, Vista detected everything the motherboard needed to run correctly with the exception of our sound card drivers (the sound blaster audigy card). An attempt to install the sound card drivers with the CD provided by the retail package of the card resulted in several BSOD's and failed installs. We then scoured the net insearch of Vista drivers. Luckily we found them, although half the features this card had in XP doesn't work and itsn't supported in Vista. That in itself isn't bad because Vista makes several technilogical advances in that department. We consider anything that isn't Vista compatable, outdated hardware. It's as simple as that. If it doesn't work with Vista, it might as well be a legacy device. So we updated the sound card to the new X-Fi card, installed the vista drivers and voila! We have Vista Home Premium up and running and completely stable!

Vista Ultimate
Vista Ultimate pretty much gave us the exact same problem. We isntalled this on our 'ultimate' rig. Here are the specs for it.....

• AMD 4600+ X2 CPU
• 1TB of hard drive space (Random SATA Western Digital)
• 2x 7950 GTX GeForce Graphics cards
• 4 20.1 inch flat screen LCD monitors
• 7.1 speaker system
• X-Fi Xtreme Audio sound card
• Ageia Physx Card
• 3.2 GB of DDR2 RAM

The X-Fi sound card and the Physx card kept giving us an IRQ conflict BSOD. We simply removed the physx card and the problem was solved!

Aside from possibly having to update your computer, Vista is going to be THE best OS in the next year to come. Get prepared or get left behind. Take the jump and get the new OS. Vista is going to change technology for the better so stick with it and keep at it.

Get Vista! Get Educated! GetOnePC today!

I have searched the net for hours on end. For days, weeks and months at a time looking for the easiest possible way to make money. Like most of you, I started with Google Ad-words and Google Ad-sense. It did not take to long for me to end up in a $30 hole. I owe Google and it's probably because of my inability to write decent sales adds. I actually managed to find a place to make money with 0 risk. This is the FIRST fully supported online money making project for GetOnePC. Now you may be asking what is the AC banner all about.

Well, when it comes to writing and getting your stuff actually noticed, there is simply no other place to get input on what you write. The community is thriving and growing larger and larger each and every day. The requirements for the articles are pretty fair. For the written articles the only requirement is that it has to be at least 400 words. The videos that you can post are only limited to Rated PG content and no more than 15MB in file size. You can litterally write or make a video about anything your heart desires. It is great to get some practice with your writing skills and/or video producing skills. I choose AC for 2 main reasons.

1. As time goes by I will learn what grabs peoples attention and what doesn't. This in turn will help me to write more successful sales ads.
2. I get paid to do it! :)

Thats right, I get paid to improve my writing skills. Now before you jump the gun and get all excited I must tell you that the pay isn't that great. The gist of it is that you can get paid anywhere from $3 - $40 per article/video. But it doesn't stop there. You also recieve bonuses. For every 1000 page views you get, $1.50 will also be sent to paypal account. And when it comes to refferals, I think right now it's around $5 for everyone that joins under you and publishes something.

There is so much to do in this community it isn't even funny. I really enjoy the unique 'clout' feature they use. Your clout is measured by how many page views you have. The more people you get to view your content, the higher your clout is. The higher your clout is, the more you get paid for submiting content (usually).

So let me just break this all down for you. Lets say you have a clout level of about 6 (20k + page views). That means that almost any peice of content you submit, you will get at least $8 for. If you submit 5 pieces of content a day for a week to 5 days straight every week for a month, thats about $200 a month. And since you have a clout level of 6, it is possible that the 20k + people who have seen your content will come back, which means more page views and that converts into more cash. I am just going to add an extra $5-$10 you will earn based solely on getting people to view your content. Do the math...it can add up if you really try. There is no reason that someone can not live comfortably off of about $800+ a month.

But getting page views and recruits are probably the hardest things to do. I have gotten to a clout level of 6 by advertising in the following places...

1. Myspace
2. Tagworld
3. Other online social networks
4. Various forums I frequent regularly

There are just so many ways to do it and the earning potential is extremely high.

So enough about me, I am sure you are just dying to check this place out. If you feel confident and like to write or produce videos then go ahead and follow THIS link and join up. However, if you are still skeptical, follow THIS link and do some poking around first.
