Topics: Windows 8

Windows startup timings depend upon the number of programs activated at the time of startup. When the computer starts it uses RAM and CPU or startup applications use Ram and CPU during the startup. The startup programs are also responsible behind the slow performance of your system. If the number of program at the startup increases, the more is the time taken by the computer to boot up properly. Here is the tutorial how you can configure the startup application in your Windows 8 PC.

As discussed earlier about the changes made in Windows 8, many users find difficulty in looking for certain programs or Apps in the new OS. In order to configure Windows 8, you need to add or disable some of the startup programs or application. Follow the tutorial to configure the startup applications.

Manage or Configure Startup Programs

To configure the startup programs you need to open the system configuration window.

• Bring up the Run dialog box by pressing the Windows key +R
• Type in msconfig and hit enter
• Now you will see a system configuration window from there select the startup tab and uncheck the unnecessary startup programs that is select the programs that you don?t need at the time of startup

• To approve the action hit on OK at the bottom of the window.

• Restart your system to effect the change.

Use Windows Registry to Configure Startup Applications

• Open Run dialog box by pressing Windows key+ R
• Type regedit, and hit OK
• Approve when prompted by UAC
• In the registry, navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRun AND HKEY_CURRENT_USERSoftwareMicrosoftWindowsCurrentVersionRunOnce
• Go to the right pane of Run or RunOnce and right click or hold on a listed startup item that you wanted to delete or remove, and click on Delete
• Click on Yes to confirm deletion
• Once done with the editing of Registry entries close regedit.

There is an alternate way to configure the startup application.

Firstly enable the hidden items under Windows Explorer, navigate to the hidden system folder below.

Go to C:ProgramDataMicrosoftWindowsProgramsStartup and paste the application or batch file. On startup this particular batch file App will start up.

Upon following the steps described above you can add or disable any programs from the startup. It is better to keep minimal applications during the startup that will help your system to boot up faster.

Google Has Figured Out How To Track You Even ... - Business Insider

Google has a new advertising product, called "Conversions API," that allows advertisers to track your offline purchases and match them to your online behavior.

Until now, advertisers have inferred that anyone searching for, say, "Chevrolet" is likely shopping for a car. Google thus displays Chevy ads -- or ads for competitors -- to anyone who inputs that search request.

But advertisers have loads of their own offline data from existing customers that they have not been able to use to target search ads. Conversions API allows those advertisers to upload phone numbers and in-store purchase data and use that information to target search ads through DoubleClick, Google's search ad system.

Google's announcement was thin on details. It says advertisers can now "upload new conversions to account for in-store transactions, call-tracking, or other offline activities, or edit existing conversions to account for discounts, returns, credit, or fraud."

That sounds a lot like Facebook's Custom Audiences tool, which allows advertises to upload their own customers lists of email addresses and phone numbers, and serve ads targeting those lists. The new Google product thus competes head to head with Facebook's.

Google doesn't specifically say this, but it's likely that data from those conversion lists will be blinded and delivered anonymously in aggregate. Neither the advertiser nor Google will be able to track you individually. All they will know is that of the total number of phone numbers targeted, a certain percentage saw ads and/or acted on them.

From your point of view, however, Google might start to feel a little spooky. If you bought a T shirt at The Gap in the mall with your credit card, you could start seeing a lot more Gap ads online later, suggesting jeans that go with that shirt.

We've reached out to Google for more information, and we'll publish an update when they get back to us.

Westboro Baptist Church Web Security Provider To Donate Proceeds To Charity

Anonymous, in its continuing battle with ?God Hates Fags? group Westboro Baptist Church, has managed to convince the security provider who was protecting the church from online attacks to donate proceeds to charity.

The hacktivist collective attacked the anti-gay organisation after it said it would picket the Sandy Hook elementary school in Newtown, preaching its anti-gay message to the grieving families of 20 children and six adults killed there last Friday.

Whilst certain hacktivists were able to leak details of Westboro Baptist Church members, and hack their Twitter accounts, Anonymous came up against solid protection of the group?s websites in the form of Black Lotus, a Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) protection vendor.

Anonymous called on them to remove their protection, having organised a campaign against those providing services to Westboro Baptist Church.

But as tension grew between the two sides, Black Lotus offered an olive branch, saying it would donate all the proceeds it receives from the Westboro Baptist Church to charity. The money will be going to various groups supporting the Newtown community.

?Our social commitments shall be long term, some now and some later,? Black Lotus said over its Twitter feed. It said it was asking opinions on who to donate to before talking more publicly about the issue.

?[We] will give very serious consideration in ensuring that our donations have a strong impact,? Jeffrey Lyon, information systems security professional at Black Lotus, told Wikinews. The United Way organisation looks likely to receive donations from Black Lotus soon.

Anonymous has had a turbulent month. Yesterday, one of its key Twitter accounts, @YourAnonNews, was suspended from Twitter, with some reporting it was due to the battle with Westboro Baptist Church.

The account has hundreds of thousands of followers and is used to relay news to members of the hacktivist collective. Twitter told TechWeekEurope it would not comment on specific accounts.

When the account came back online, a tweet claimed Twitter had suspended @YourAnonNews for sharing personal information. It appeared the personal information that was shared belonged to Shirley Phelps-Roper, a spokesperson of the Westboro Baptist Church, whose Twitter account was hacked earlier this week.

Non-partisan study: Boehner's "Plan B" cuts millionaire taxes

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The latest Republican offer to resolve the U.S. "fiscal cliff" standoff keeps tax rates low for households making less than $1 million a year, but millionaires get the benefit of lower taxes too, according to a non-partisan study released on Wednesday.

The analysis by the Tax Policy Center found that Republican House Speaker John Boehner's so-called Plan B provides an average tax cut of about $108,000 for households making more than $1 million, when compared to the rates this group would face if the country went over the cliff.

Taxpayers earning between $50,000 and $75,000 a year get an average tax cut of about $1,400, according to the analysis.

The reason is that tax rates are imposed on a marginal basis. A taxpayer making $1.1 million, for example, would only pay the higher rate on $100,000 of their income, enjoying the same break as lower earners on income below the million-dollar level.

The Republican proposal, which is set for a vote on Thursday, extends the lower tax rates on household income below $1 million.

Income above the $1 million threshold would be taxed at a 39.6 percent tax rate, up from the current top rate of 35 percent.

Boehner and President Barack Obama are locked in a standoff to avert some $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts looming at year's end, known as the fiscal cliff.

Obama's latest offer would extend the lower tax rates on household income below $400,000 a year, raising top rates to 39.6 percent on income above that level.

$10M Ford Fund project to boost Southwest Detroit

Detroit ? The Ford Motor Co. Fund is launching a $10 million program called Operation Brighter Future in Southwest Detroit that will include a community center, a Gleaners Community Food Bank center and other community services.

Detroit Mayor Dave Bing and Ford Chief Operating Officer Mark Fields on Tuesday announced the partnership between the Ford Fund, the city and the Mexicantown Community Development Corp.

The Ford Resource and Engagement Center will open at the previously vacant Mexicantown Mercado Building on Bagley Avenue.

The building will house cultural and job training programs, and a Gleaners center.

"This building ? has sat empty for several years," Bing said Tuesday. "The new Ford Resource and Engagement Center will certainly add to the revitalization efforts of Detroit."

Ford will provide funding for local nonprofits to run those programs and with resources to operate the facility for at least four years.

Ford also will adopt the Patton Recreation Center in the same area and provide art- and sports-related programs for area youths.

The Ford Fund will additionally provide funding for a "Camp Brighter Future" at Patton Recreation Center, which will accommodate as many as 90 young people. Ford also will offer some scholarships for the camp.

"We know the importance of building strong communities everywhere," Fields said.

Ford is also donating two F-Series truck chassis, which will be turned into new ambulances for the city.

"One of the biggest complaints that I get on the public safety side is our response time from an EMS standpoint," Bing said.

"Because of the city's financial difficulties, we've been unable for years to make the necessary investments to get new vehicles or even maintain the ones that we have."

Operation Brighter Future also will provide funding for a summer youth employment program and offer support for Greening of Detroit, a not-for-profit organization that aims to reforest the Motor City.

Clarification: TV-New Millennial Network story

LOS ANGELES (TheWrap.com) - The publisher of "Life & Style" and "In Touch," which is being sued by Tom Cruise for printing that the "Jack Reacher" star had abandoned his daughter Suri following his divorce from Katie Holmes, has fired back at the actor's suit. In an answer to Cruise's defamation lawsuit, filed in October, Bauer Publishing Co. says that its reporting is "substantially true." Bauer's answer, filed Friday in U.S. District Court in California, also asserts a number of defenses, including that it's protected by the First, Fifth and 14th amendments of the U.S. ...
