12 Days of Geek Tips: Speed Up Your Computer For Happy Holiday Gaming

Is that the new Diablo III under the tree?

Is that the new Diablo III under the tree? Why yes, it is, and we can't wait to break open our sci-fantastic PC game. If there's a stack of new play waiting to be unearthed come Christmas Day, then make sure your computer is gaming-ready with these absolutely effortless ways to speed up your machine.

These tried and true methods may seem simple — obvious, even — but don't be surprised when you restart your MacBook and it's like you've just unboxed it.

  • Restart every few days — Putting a computer to sleep means that applications are ready to go when you turn on your screen. But sleep mode slows down computer speed over time, and restarting the operating system allows the computer to run on a clean slate. Plus, it allows an overheated machine to cool down.
  • Clean desktop clutter — What's the point of having awesome geeky wallpaper if you can't even see it? Those hundreds of icons take up precious memory (RAM), and moving the files into different folders or deleting them entirely will help your computer run faster. Tired of dragging and dropping? The amazing Trash keyboard shortcut (command + delete) will speed up the process.
  • Empty the Downloads folder — Every day, make sure email attachments, pictures, song files, and GIFs get dumped into the Downloads folder. Go to your Home folder > Downloads. Keep necessary files, but trash the ones you'll never open again. Many browsers will unzip compressed files automatically and keep the zipped files in the Downloads folder; you can delete these, too.

Celeb Mag For African-American Women — Love It or Leave It?

The supermarket checkout counter is about to get a little more crowded.

The supermarket checkout counter is about to get a little more crowded. Celebrity magazine Juicy will arrive in May, giving us one more thing to flip through while we wait in line. However, the publishers don't really expect all of us to reach for it.

The magazine will specifically target one group of grocery store shoppers: African-American women: "From Jay-Z and Beyonce to what’s up with Rihanna and the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Juicy will cover the latest and greatest in hairstyles and hair products." Mainstream celebrity magazines do feature black stars, but do you still like the idea of this more targeted option?
