Does your computer take forever to start up? Mine does for several reasons. But the main reason is I have to many programs launching at start up. 90% of them I do not need on start up.

It turns out the default setting for most programs on installation set them to start on start up. So how can you fix this with out trying to go to all the programs you can think of and try to turn this feature off?

Here is the simple solution:

Click Start > Run and type “msconfig” at the prompt. Click the Startup tab and look at all that junk that loads when you launch your PC. Do you really need “Adobe Reader Speed Launch”? Probably not. Turn off anything else that looks useless, but be careful not to disable Windows system components.

Thank you Yahoo answers!! This is a great bit of advice.

As with anything computer related be careful you are not disabling something vital to the computer working. So if in doubt leave it alone. This tip now has my system staring up like it did when I first got it.

Find something you love and make a business around it. Success comes when you have research, a plan and most important action. Take action. With out action it’s just a dream.
No one makes $100,000 a year by buying a tape set and working three hours a week. The secret is no secret at all; work hard, save and don’t go into debt.

He shows how much a link on the major tech sites would cost you.

Here are some samples:

Engadget – $11,440

Gizmodo – $11,440

Others like Digg or Slashdot you can’t even put a price tag on. Head over to John’s website to see the whole post…

Not all links are worth the same. Links from big sites with high Page Rank are worth far more than smaller sites with low Page Rank. So how much is a link worth?

Also a side note. After my post a real person from Google visited my site. I confirmed in my logs it was not a bot. Strange?

Check out the new google search site called SearchMash which is with out google branding and ads? I have only used it a couple of times so I will have more info at a later date.

Until then fell free to read this short article on Cnet and check the search engine for yourself. Links to the story below.

Google has created a search site without any Google branding to test new features. The site, SearchMash, has a simple blue and white interface with a search bar and an option to click on “popular searches.” Once keywords are entered, the results page features links to results running down the left side of the page and the top three image results on the right side.

However College is not for everyone. I have said that for years. I personally went to college but many of my family did not and they do very well in life.

Again I value education very much but if you look at the top 10 richest American you find that at least 50% dropped out of college. What this tells me is they were smart enough to make it to the University but probably had their heads in the clouds and wanted to go out into the world and make some money.

And good for them! Oh and by the way for the first time ever the top 400 Forbes list has only Billionaires…

The top 10

1 William Henry Gates III

2 Warren Edward Buffett

3 Sheldon Adelson

4 Lawrence Joseph Ellison

5 Paul Gardner Allen

6 Jim C. Walton

7 Christy Walton & family

8 S. Robson Walton

9 Michael Dell

10 Alice L. Walton
