Windows PC: Keep Your Software Updated

Windows update is good at keeping your version of Windows up to date, but it isn't capable of keeping your other software up to date (like your Instant Messenger).  Tekzilla (12/5 program) recently suggested a program called Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI).  Basically this program is designed to run in the background (silently or not, your choice) and keep all of your software up to date.

If you want to keep your Windows software up to date without exerting much effort then checking out this free software might be a good idea.

Apple iPad: Apple's Plan to Compete with Cheaper Tablets

Apple will not come out with a 7in iPad. Instead, I think Apple will follow the model they have used with their iPhone line.  A new iPad 3 will emerge next year but instead of stopping production of the iPad 2, they will keep the iPad 2 and lower its price.  This will allow Apple to compete in the lower priced tablet market without compromising on user experience.

My belief isn't based on any sort of inside information or anything, but it is based on common sense and history.  To backup my belief a recent article from All Things Digital gives additional information that seems to prove my belief.
