upcoming XdN Tweaker

I’m still working on the next version. I was planning on several new things. Something to hide the “Libraries” in Windows 7, something to enable the Regional themes and wallpapers in Windows 7, an improved AutoRun disabler, something else I forgot, and also a link to a nice Logon Screen background changer.


The Mac Defrag Lie

I just posted a page regarding defragging Macs. I’ve always heard people say that Macs don’t need to be defragged. It didn’t make any sense.

After having slow boot times and other performance issues, I decided to check my hard drive’s fragmentation. I wasn’t shocked to see it was massively fragmented. Obviously Macs do get fragmentation, and do need to be defragged.

I posted the page here:

I don’t know who started the “Macs don’t need to be defragged” lie, or why it keeps being repeated. I guess it’s a superiority thing. Are Apple users trying justify their purchase by thinking they have a system impervious to issues that the cheaper systems suffer from?

All computers suffer the same issues. Disk corruption, file fragmentation, and even malware. Paying more for a computer doesn’t make it immune.
