Review: IObit Driver Booster 1.0

IObit Driver Booster is a utilty used to scan your computer for outdated drivers. It is currently in beta testing, and is being offered as a free download; for now. It can be used on multiple operating systems: Windows XP, Vista, 7, 8, and Windows Server (32 bit and 64 bit for all applicable OS' s).
I tried this software out at the suggestion of a friend who insists that it is the best. He is far more tech savvy than I am, so I tried it out. I am capable of maintaining the basic processes on my pc, but beyond that I find frustration at every turn. My job centers around my pc, so it needs to be in good working order every day.
My biggest problem to date has been keeping my drivers updated. The Windows updates are automatic for the most part, but there are a few others that I am frustrated with before I even try. The first time I ran IObit, it updated the most elusive drivers for me. One would expect that to be the case. The part that surprised me was that it only took three clicks to complete the entire process. Open the program, click "scan", click "update". As I suspected, my video drivers were out of date. I have spent two hours just trying to find where this can be done, so suffice it to say, this made my day.
If there were a downside to this software, it would be exclusive to techies. For the average user it is without a bunch of options that only cause confusion. Under the "settings" menu, you will find six options. It couldn't be any easier. The final version of this software could definitely have more in-depth options, but if not, it will still be a great program. This software is not over-engineered like so many utilties of it's kind.
The free download of IObit Driver Booster can be found here. There is also a similar version for Android devices in the Google Play Store. It is also free, and is full of utilities to keep your device running smoothly; including malware removal and game booster. The interface is exquisite, and the ease of use is as good as the pc version. Search "Advanced Mobile Care".

Intervention

I had a neighbor once, who over time became a friend. This is what I learned of him and from him over the course of five years. He went to the most elite private schools in the city, and attended The University of Alabama. He was the heir apparent to his father's insurance business, and like his parents, belonged to high society. He was married to a judge's daughter, and they had two daughters together. His life was what most would consider great. He had everything a man  could ever wish into being. His only problem was a lingering taste for alcohol that was a large part of college life, and also the life of society. Like most, a minor drinking problem was not hard to hide; but only until it grew into an unmanageable force. By the time he knew that his drinking had become a problem, his wife had already taken her heart back and given it to another. It was a classic case of being physically present but emotionally absent. He was none the wiser until his wife presented him with

Representation 101

On April 19, 2013 I wrote my U.S. Representative, Jo Bonner (R) a letter containing questions about CISPA (H.R. 624). I generally expect to recieve a form letter in return for my thoughts, but this time I got something a little better. I read over the bill after it had flown through the House, and while it was still on a few American minds. My questions were based on the following: Page 10 - line 5-24 "Federal Government in accordance with subsection (b)- (A) for cyber security purposes; (B) for the investigation and prosecution of cyber security crimes (C) for the protection of individuals from the danger of death or serious bodily harm and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving such danger of death or serious bodily harm; (D) for the protection of minors from child pornography, any risk of sexual exploitation, and serious threats to the physical safety of minors, including kidnapping and trafficking and the investigation and prosecution of crimes involving c

U.S. vs. Iran: What are we missing?

There is constant chatter and media alarm in the US concerning Iran. As usual, we are fed the information that is not only one-sided, but is mostly a smoke bomb hiding many of the fouls that we have commited against a country that is not very different from some of our "allies" in the region. Actually, the media has made a conscious decision to ignore the facts, and keep them distorted for propaganda reasons. Iran and the US have an ugly history and today, the history has turned to a selective dismantling of a potentially great nation. Iran, and the region it was born in began around 3,200 BCE. Iran reigns as one of the oldest, major continuous civilizations. America on the other hand was established around 1776. That means that a culture, effectively five thousand years older than ours has an edge, and is certainly more well defined. Even our European counterparts can't compete with that. Iranian culture, though battered and abused, remains intact, and that is much mor
