This is a very short article so there is no way I can cover all the problems you can experience with your computer. I will go through only 4 common computer problems and how you can solve these problems.

The first common computer problem is virus (or general malware) problem. Virus is a common term used by computer user to mean any software that creates problems such as slowing down your computer, displaying annoying pops ups, or disconnecting you from the internet. Solution is to download antivirus or antispyware programs to protect your computer.

The second common computer problem is performance issue. This a bit similar to the above because virus can slow down computer performance. The solution to a slow computer is to optimize the memory by removing majority of your startup items and background services, upgrade your memory, and perform different types of tweaks to improve computer performance.

The third common computer problems is how to upgrade the computer. If you have a old computer that you want to upgrade to the latest, the solution is to not be afraid because you can do it yourself. Once you find out the make and the model of your computer motherboard, you would be able to figure out the components required and you can make purchase of these components and add it inside your computer yourself.

The fourth common computer problem is hardware problems. The solution to this problem is to get an expert to fix this for you. Hardware problem such as broken screen, damaged motherboard, damaged power supply etc are not easy to fix by ourselves so we require an expert to do these for us.

Others problems include computer crashing, freezing, Windows errors, registry problems, drivers problems and so on.

Google bought Instantiations, a company that builds developer tools, last month and the company has now revealed its master plan. Google is now offering many of the products Instantiations had for free, despite some of them costing hundreds of dollars before.

"In early August, Google acquired Instantiations, a company known for its focus on Eclipse Java developer tools, including GWT Designer," Bruce Johnson, from the Google Developer Team, wrote.


"We're happy to announce today that we're relaunching the following former Instantiations products under the Google name and making them available to all developers at no charge," he announced.

The tools offered now for free are: GWT Designer, CodePro AnalytiX, WindowBuilder Pro and WindowTester Pro.

The move is not entirely surprising, Google usually offers its products for free. But it does have some paid software tools, things like the SketchUp Pro 3D modeling software and Google Earth Pro.

But in this case, the advantages of freeing the products are obvious, Google wants to encourage developers to use its products so any tool it can provide to help them is welcomed.

"Now that these products are available again, we hope you’ll start using them within your GWT projects. Meanwhile, our next step is to more deeply unify them into the GWT family of tools by blending the fantastic Instantiations technology into the Google Plugin for Eclipse (GPE)," he added.

This is the reason why Google acquired the company in the first place. GWT Designer, a plugin for the Eclipse IDE, is one of the most popular tools associated with GWT.

However, the tool was quite expensive, and so were the other tools provided by Instantiations.

Google also hosts a number of open-source products, including big ones like Chrome and Android, but it hasn't opened up the Instantiations tools. The Eclipse IDE is open source.

AMD wants to make it easier for customers to choose computers and other devices. The company has unveiled a new platform and is getting the support of leading vendors like HP, Acer, and Dell in its efforts.

AMD wants that just by looking at a PC a customer should be able to know what that machine is capable of doing. This means a customer just by looking at two computers will be able to know the differences. The customer may not need to rely on the information provided by the salesman or the company. In many cases to push the products, a salesman may provide conflicting or misleading information to the customers.

At an event in Austin, Texas the company announced the launch of its Vision brand. In the coming days, all AMD Central Processing Units or CPUs will come co-branded based on their level of functionality. This is an attempt by the company to make it easier for an average user to choose a PC.

AMD also wants companies to provide detailed information about the products and their specialized functions. Technology experts have welcomed these moves and feel that it will be in the interests of all the people.

It means that a customer who needs a net book may be able to choose the device and not purchase a product for which he does not have any requirement. It will also help most of the home users and geeks to more easily select the type of devices they need.
