SHOULD I REMOVE IT?

You probably have a bunch of junk messing up and slowing down your computer. Even if you didn't intentionally install it, this stuff can creep onto your system in a lot of different ways. Often it came installed when you bought your machine originally (called bloatware, trialware or indelicately "Crapware").

This neat little one trick pony is a simple but powerful Windows application that can help you decide what programs you should remove from your PC. It helps you find and remove all sorts of debris and bloatware such as adware, spyware, rogue toolbars, bundled unwanted applications as well as many forms of malware. The program is very lightweight and locates these undesirables quickly.

With a click you simply scan your computer for all its installed programs and this little aid, by leverages the wisdom of its historical users and their technical experts, ranks each program on your system to determine what should be kept and what should be un-installed.

It's yours without cost and they say it comes without any crapware.

WHAT IS YOUR BIOLOGICAL AGE?

OK - so you're 36 (or 47 - or 68 - or 77). You've heard it said a thousand times: "Age doesn't matter." Of course, if you're 88 you may say, "Baloney!" Well here's a place that will tell you what your biological age really is -- in 2 minutes by answering a fun and simple quiz.

They point out that your Biological Age is a better measure of you age than your date of birth. Their Biological Age is calculated by measuring the most significant scientifically researched influences on longevity. It also considers lifestyle and cultural factors, while specifically avoiding any genetic biases.
After taking into consideration all of their caveats, they claim you can predict your life expectancy and your real Biological Age because it includes the speed at which a person is aging.

If you are underage, just don't use this analysis to get a driving license or for getting in the front door of the popular local watering hole - unless you are ready for a lot of laughs - or a pair of handcuffs.

IS YOUR SYSTEM 32 OR 64 BIT - OR WHO CARES?

I'm sure that, if you ask 10 people how to find out if your computer system is 32 or 64 bit, you'll get six different responses: Yes. No. Three "I don't knows" and one "Who cares".

The terms 32-bit and 64-bit refer to the way a computer's processor (CPU), handles information. The 64-bit version of Windows handles large amounts of random access memory (RAM) more effectively than a 32-bit system making the system faster.

If you're running Windows 7 you can get the answer by simply pressing the Windows and Pause keyboard keys at the same time -- Shazam. There before your eyes is all of the basic information about your system - including the answer to this stumper.

WORLD OF MATH IN FOUR PARAGRAPHS!

This great place aims to make all world knowledge searchable with mathematical formulas and probably wants to eventually knock off Google.

The site is so vast that it covers the simplest math (2+2=4). It also covers stuff Einstein would have trouble figuring out (but you can here). It covers units of measurement you've never heard of (one Smoot equals 67 inches - which does not include one ear).

Quickly get information with conversational questions: "What US University has the seventh largest student population? (Answer: University of Central Florida with 53,472 enrolled).

Gotta try out this great place to get even a smidgen of an idea what enormous data this behemoth reveals. And believe it or not - this mathematically based site is fun!
