I have been suffering of late suffering from a frustratingly slow and unreliable computer in fact I have been getting so annoyed with it of late that I bought the issue up in a conversation in a local bar. The man I was moaning to was Bryan a good friend of mine and total computer nerd. I told Bryan of the issue and asked for his help picking a new computer. Bryan took some time to ponder my query and while stoking his beard stated “I don’t think you need a new computer”. I reiterated to Bryan that I really did after all my computer was running very slowly and was annoying me to such an extent that I have genuinely considered destroying it with a house hold implement. In fact I was a little mad with Bryan for not recognizing my pain. Bryan did however go on to explain further and said “I believe you are suffering from Windows registry errors”. Bryan could have been talking dutch for all i understood of what he was saying although I guess it would make sense to people who know about computers. Trying to avoid looking silly I made the decision to carry on as if I knew what he was talking about “I see” I replied. By this time Bryan had obviously noticed from the distant look in my eyes that I really had no idea what he was talking about. He took out a pen and paper and scribbled upon it the name of a web site fix-this-computer. He then went on to explain that I should visit this site and look under the Fix Windows Registry Errors section and from this I should select an option for a free registry scan which would identify and registry errors present on my computer and after this would give me the option to repair them. I took his advice and now my computer works a treat, cheers Bryan.

Web use statistics prove that the Apple Mac continues to gain market share from Windows-based computers. According to various web analysts Mac web share has increased by 0.3% since December 2008 which is a staggering figure. Even use of Apple’s Safari browser have increased to 8.29 percent in January, up from 7.93% in December. However some of those Safari hits come iPhone and iPod touch users and others come from people who are fooled into installing Apple’s browser on their Windows machine.

The strong percentage increase in December could of been down to the fact that people are more inclined to stay at home where the Mac is more of a home computer rather than business so that may explain it. However even though people returned to work in January 2008 which is a sign that Windows is really starting to loose its grip on the web market.

The seemingly minor monthly rise works out to an annualized rate of 3.6% and 3.6% rise in market share is far from small potatoes especially considering that in the declining market through which the world is currently grunting and groaning, every user is precious. Apple always seem to do better with machines for the home rather than the business because they are far more fun and easier to use. Windows machines are normally used in the office for business where Windows machines are very useful.

This is just adding to the ever growing battle between Windows and Apple Mac which seems to never end. Personally, I really don’t mind either machine interface. They offer unique things depending on what you want to use it for. Either home or office. The choice is entirely up to you! Although I personally use a Mac machine as they are far easier to use and never fail. Windows machines are more inclined to work for about two or three years and thats it.

I wanted to write this article to help graduates from all over the world find graduate jobs. I have recently graduated from Southampton University in the UK and am currently looking for my first graduate job. I graduated in business finance and my dream employment position would be working as a financial consultant somewhere/anywhere! It is a common fact that many people have a real hard in time in finding employment after studying at University but I never knew it was this hard! When I completed studying at University in June I wasn’t even thinking of finding a job but now I can’t think of anything else!

The first crucial mistake to make when trying to find a graduate job after studying is getting there too late. Students from all around the world could potentially want the same job as you are going for so timing is everything. You have to get in the face of employers and try and let them know that you want the job more than any other candidate. Having a good CV and well spoken tone on the phone are essential.

Timing is one thing. Experience is another. I have been on the phone to several potential employers and they all have one thing in common. The need for industry experience. This is quite possibly the biggest clash in getting a graduate job that you want. As you have been a student for either three or four years you are lacking in any relevant industry experience. It gets frustrating after a while to actually hope that an employer will give you a chance or at least give you some helpful guidance to help you into the right area. Subsequently, getting that chance can open so many doors. Once you have experience and a degree you are highly employable by a lot of companies around the world. Yet it is just getting you into that first job.

There are plenty of recruitment agencies around the country that can help but if you ask me good old fashioned research and phone calls are what gets you the furthest ahead. Going through agencies would cut out a lot of hassle but you are losing the personal edge of talking to your potential employer yourself which is far more favourable. I would recommend having a few days to search on the internet for the area of employment you would like to target and simply, phone, phone, phone! In my opinion that is the only way to get somewhere!
