But there are at least a couple that might offer exactly what they promise without causing hardship to the end user. Here’s how not to screw up your PC with Windows optimization tools.

New Video! – Facebook Timeline Tips

Chris Pirillo — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 02:46:47 +0000

http://www.lockergnome.com/social/2012/01/31/secret-facebook-timeline-tips/ – The time is up if you’re complaining about Facebook’s imposition of the Timeline as your only option for a profile layout. Unlike MySpace, which probably allowed a little too much leeway in the way your profile page could look, Facebook takes the opposite approach and tells you that this is what your profile will look like — take it or leave it. (Facebook might take this opportunity to learn from the example of MySpace that being on top doesn’t mean that you’re always going to stay on top if the majority of your users foresake you for the next big thing.) Anyway, if you decide that you are going to take it, then here are some secret Facebook Timeline tips you might take to heart.

http://www.lockergnome.com/craighton/2012/01/31/best-os-x-downloads-for-any-new-mac/ – Yesterday, we talked about the best Windows downloads for any new computer.
