Diskeeper: No maintenance defragmentation

Your hard drive needs to be defragmented regularly to keep your pc running in optimum condition, or else your computer begins to slow up after a while due to files and parts of files being stored in scattered places all over the hard drive. Therefore it’s essential you defragment it from time to time. A lot of people probably don’t even bother or don’t know they have to, and if they do, it can be a slow or almost impossible process, as it can keep getting interrupted by screensavers, virus scanners accessing the drive, etc.


Leading to you going crazy and maybe even giving up on defraging altogether! That’s where diskeeper comes in, with its simple to understand, “set it and forget it” settings, it’s fully automated very regular defragmentation and some advanced options much better than what the built in windows defragmentation is capable of, such as defragging the MFT (master file table) and most times you won’t even notice it when its doing its thing and can continue using your computer as if nothings happening, it can’t even be interrupted by those other things i mentioned! So once you “set it and forget it” (yeah, it’s really what the settings called, i didn’t just make that up!) nothing can go wrong and you can rest assured your hard drive and files are being kept in top condition! Although in my opinion it could be a tad cheaper.

Pandora: Internet Radio to suit your tastes!

Pandora is an internet radio station site, but with a twist! It knows what you might like, before you’ve even heard it! You simply type in the name of a song or artist, and it generates a playlist of similiar sounding songs and artists! It bases its findings on musical similiarity, not popularity, only the music counts!

It’s part of the ‘Music Genome Project’ an attempt to group thousands of songs by musical similarity. Everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It’s not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it’s about what each individual song sounds like. You can even give a “Thumbs Up”, which makes that song and songs that sound like that song play more often or “Thumbs Down” bans that song from that station, and makes songs that sound like that song play less often.

It’s a great way to discover new music based on what you already know you like. I like how they even provide links to more info on each band or artist, so if you find something you like you can easily learn more info!
