Unless you have a really old machine, I reckon you could be wasting quite a few CPU cycles. If you look at the processes tab in Task Manager and sort by CPU, take a look at the worst offenders and see if you really need them.
For example, do you really need real-time anti-virus protection? Chances are, unless you're really naive, you don't.
When was the last time you checked for spyware? Just how many apps do you have installed that you've never used within the past 12 months?
Getting a good computing experience is mainly about common sense, rather than wasting an ever increasing number of CPU cycles.
Sheri was kind enough to send me a copy of the review for my site too. It incorporates a slight update to the score requested by Sheri, a selection of accompanying screenshots, and further discussion on the game. You can read it here...
If you're interested in finding more Pocket PC games (and there are plenty of cool ones out there!), PocketGamer.org is a good place to start!:-)
It's pretty simple. If adverts on the web were better targeted, they would work better.
If I watch the soccer highlights on TV in the UK, I don't expect to see an advert for a California motherboard maker. Yet, this sort of thing used to happen with most websites and all too often still does.
Websites should be far better at serving their target audience. Maybe that will mean users having to (shock, horror) reveal where they come from and what their interests are to a (shock, horror) centralised organisation/company who then serves this info up to sites, but that's surely the way forward.
If I saw adverts that I was actually interested in, I'd be more likely to buy the products, companies would be more likely to make money off web advertising, investment in the web would be higher, etc.
What am I missing here? Why hasn't the penny dropped?:-)
According to this MarketWatch article, October 15 will be the date when the application will be re-granted (and thus the information will be made public again).

... how much the release of Tiger influenced this decision?
