I didn't think I'd like Windows 8

Took the plunge on a touch laptop yesterday at the Sony Outlet Store.  I thought I'd need Windows 8 for Dummies or a class at the Microsoft Store. But Mr. Google answered all my questions so far. I have been debating replacing an older laptop, and an odd article about a virus attack on Linux tipped the scale. Windows is the most attacked platform, but it's probably also one of the best protected. And I can't get a Citibank virtual credit card number on a Mac (which has halted the credit card fraud problem). They say an upgrade that will restore the Windows Start Button is coming out shortly, but once you get past that inconvenience, Windows 8 Touch is actually kinda fun.

Keeping Android Out of Trouble

I detailed previously the problems I had trying to use a tablet during a real estate deal. Since then I have spent nine intense weeks remodeling the referenced property. Both these experiences have demonstrated how an Android device will hang up under duress. The root problem, it seems to me, is cache. Remembering that your device is routinely trying to do fifty things at once, I have found that clearing the cache keeps it out of trouble. After trying a half dozen cache cleaners, I settled on App Cache Cleaner Pro. I put it on my main home screen, set it to clear cache with one touch, and to clear cache hourly if I don't. Not a single problem since.
