It is now almost eight months since the launch of Windows Vista and apart from a few relatively minor teething problems and the anticipated lack of support for older programs and peripherals, the new operating system’s debut has gone surprisingly smoothly. Most new users seem to be reasonably happy with it but there has been one recurring niggle and that’s speed and performance.

In the run up to the launch there’s was a widely held perception that Vista would be a lot faster than Windows XP, and it does indeed do a lot of things quicker than its predecessor, though much of this is due to the operating system’s hardware requirements, which calls for a moderately fast CPU, plenty of memory and advanced graphics capabilities.

A fair number of complaints came from early adopters upgrading unsuitable PCs in the hope that Vista would give their ageing machines a new lease of life – this rarely works. Other unsatisfied users included owners of underpowered budget or entry-level Vista PCs bought soon after the launch. Many first generation models were based on XP hardware leftovers, hastily cobbled together to meet the expected demand. The point is Vista woks best on computers that have been designed specifically for the job.

Even so Vista isn’t dramatically quicker than XP at most routine tasks, all of the clever stuff happens behind the scenes. It’s also quite difficult to quantify performance from the user’s perspective. In real terms ‘speed’ relates to the number of operations a PC can carry out each second, and this can be measured using specialist analytical software, but in the real world speed tends to mean how quickly a PC boots up, how fast programs open and close and graphics performance.

Washington (dpa) – From the start, Google has been good at hiding power behind simplicity. Little has changed in that regard, as the leading search engine’s main page is still spartan.

But there’s much more buried behind that simplicity than ever before. You can use Google’s simple search box now to do far more than type search phrases.

To find that hidden power, though, you’ll need some know-how. Let’s get started.

Search box tricks

Most people think “search terms” when faced with the search box. But Google has lots of new tricks up its sleeve for those who would like to leverage the Internet’s vast resources for more than finding documents.

Ever find yourself reaching for a calculator, dictionary, or currency converter while working at your PC, for example? Put away the extra gadgets or programs. Google now has you covered.

To calculate numbers, just type them into the Google search field with the appropriate mathematical symbol, and click Search.

Among the recommendations: limit the strength of wireless network so it cannot be detected beyond the walls of a home or office.

Passwords aren’t enough to protect home wireless networks, and they’re particularly poor security choices for networks of larger organizations, according to a University of Maryland assistant professor.

Michel Cukier, assistant professor of mechanical engineering and affiliate of the A. James Clark School of Engineering Center for Risk and Reliability and Institute for Systems Research, said that many users who link to an organization’s network from home do so through their own unmanaged wireless networks. He released a paper Wednesday explaining the risks and outlining steps that wireless users can take to increase security.

“If these secondary connections are not secure, they open up the entire network to trouble,” Cukier said in a prepared statement. “Unsecured wireless access points pose problems for businesses, cities, and other organizations that make wireless access available to customers, employees, and residents. Unsecured connections are an open invitation to hackers seeking access to vulnerable computers.”
