If you have been facing storage constraints even with large hard drives, it is time for you to indulge into some thinking process.

With utility options such as the Windows Disk Cleanup utility, you can get more out of the hard drive and experience an improvement in speed of the PC and PC functioning.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

Those splurging on today’s fast solid state drives (SSDs) are pleased with their performance, but must constantly worry about running out of disk space, as SSDs have a lower capacity than traditional drives.

Bottom line: it’s still important to know how to recover some disk space, while retaining the applications that you need. Here’s a checklist of how to proceed.

What’s eating your drive?

You cannot begin to know how to recover hard-drive space until you can get an overview of which files and folders are occupying the most space.

Windows doesn’t give you any built-in tools for seeing, at a glance, just how large some folders are relative to others. Luckily, you can turn to the free FolderSize (http://sourceforge.net/projects/foldersize).

Install this open source program and your Windows Explorer file manager will be enhanced with a ‘folder size’ option in the file and folder display area. Just click on a drive, and right-click one of the column headings in the file pane (name, date modified, type, etc.).

There, in the right-click menu, you’ll see a folder size option. Select it and a new folder size column appears. In it, Windows will calculate and display the total size of the folders on your hard drive. Double-click a folder to drill one level down, activate folder size, and you’ll see the sizes of the subfolders. You can use this tool to quickly hone in on disk-eating files and folders.

By following these easy yet highly effective tips, you can surely experience the PC speed and functionality improvements in no time.

In the times so far, we have seen that economists are born not made. Education doesn’t really make a man with the right management tricks, the innovative ideas but it is just created. The mind is developed in a view to target the business tactics and do something great in the market without even bothering about the risks in the industry. Educating a person in economics just gives an outline to the subject and the rules of the game are clearly defined. It’s the person who with the right bend of mind makes use of the knowledge and develops a strategy to become an economist. There are people like who made news by establishing huge brands such as Apple computers – Steve Jobs and Microsoft’s Bill Gates never completed their studies.

There is huge improvement to be made in schools where economics is just taken as a subject making students disinterested with the large theoretical database. The schools need to evolve with time and so do the teachers who should act economically correct. Today’s market seems to be much above the books and the real economists need their experience to bring out the market from the recession times.

The real marketers are the one who see the future and work ahead with the right element of passion, hard work and play the mind game whenever required. It’s the marketers’ world today which gains the greatest popularity for every firm. To refrain from prank marketing, a consumer needs to choose the real marketer and get the best out of him.

A fundamental barrier to the continued fast miniaturization of computer memory, which has been the basis for the consumer electronics revolution, can be overcome by scientists at Rice University and Hewlett-Packard.

The recent announcements provide hope that the limits of physics and finance faced by chip-makers that had loomed so huge that experts feared a slowdown in the pace of miniaturization will not be applied any time soon.

From Timesofindia.indiatimes.com:

In one of the two new developments, Rice researchers are reporting in Nano Letters, a journal of the American Chemical Society, that they have succeeded in building reliable small digital switches — an essential part of computer memory — that could shrink to a significantly smaller scale than is possible using conventional methods.

More important, the advance is based on silicon oxide, one of the basic building blocks of today’s chip industry, thus easing a move toward commercialisation. The scientists said that PrivaTran, a Texas startup company, has made experimental chips using the technique that can store and retrieve information.

These chips store only 1,000 bits of data, but if the new technology fulfils the promise its inventors see, single chips that store as much as today’s highest capacity disk drives could be possible in five years. The new method involves filaments as thin as five nanometers in width — thinner than what the industry hopes to achieve by the end of the decade using standard techniques. The initial discovery was made by Jun Yao, a graduate researcher at Rice. Yao said he stumbled on the switch by accident.

Richard Doherty, president of the Envisioneering Group, a consumer electronics market research company in Seaford, New York, said there are many new technologies pawing for attention.
