If the tips are to be believed the Samsung Nexus Prime may end up being the first Nexus device over at Verizon Wireless. While this would be amazing news and make plenty of people happy all we are hearing is that Samsung is shopping the phone around at Verizon Wireless HQ trying to get them to take a bite.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Between the Droid Bionic, the upcoming Droid HD and plenty of other leaked devices as of late Verizon is looking really good right about now. If they add the Samsung Nexus Prime with its rumored specs of a 4.5″ AMOLED HD high resolution 720p display and Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich to the line-up, other carriers should start to worry.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
While we have heard something similar about the Nexus Prime being shopped around we don’t have anything official and neither does anyone else. I’m still hoping someone at Verizon is sneaky enough to snap a photo of the highly anticipated smartphone and send it to my inbox. I do see an issue as the next pure Google device such as the Nexus Prime would most likely be unlockable and highly customizable like recently released phones like the Nexus One or S and this could be an issue for Verizon. Having a beast of a smartphone possibly running with 4G LTE being unlocked and rooted for users to tether and do as they please might not be something Verizon wants to see. Passing on the Nexus Prime would not be the smartest move though so hopefully they snatch it up and get it released already.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
If Verizon does get the Samsung Nexus Prime would that be enough for you to kick your current carrier to the curb? Even if it doesn’t come with 4G LTE too?</div>

We have seen more then enough leaked photos and even just this morning it was shown posing with the new Droid HD. Today some tips and tricks guides have been leaked that yet again confirm the specs of the device, as well as share a few other details.</div>

As the launch gets closer (cross fingers it’s not delayed again) we just keep seeing more and more of this device. This is one of the more leaked phones I’ve seen in the recent past. The folks over at TechnoBuffalo happened to get their hands on the tips and tricks guide and were nice enough to throw up all the photos for everyone. While it shows all the specs we already knew, it mentions wireless printing and “top notch” security too.</div>

<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">
With a dual-core CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, a 4.3″ high-resolution display and that amazing 4G LTE most phones pale in comparison. The webtop and wireless printing we didn’t know for sure but the Atrix, Photon 4G, and Droid 3 all share the same features so this wasn’t a huge surprise. Another thing worth mentioning is the fact that it has 3 microphones for exceptional voice quality as well as noise cancellation.</div>
<div style="color: #444444; font-family: Georgia, 'Bitstream Charter', serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.5; margin-bottom: 24px;">

HOW TO: Your Get Your Old PC Running Like New Again

<div><div></div><div><img alt="" class="alignright size-full wp-image-364474" height="225" src="http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/9213/computergears2259564802.jpg" title="computer-gears-225" width="225" /></div><div></div></div><br />
<i>Michael Smith has been the IT Manager at <a href="http://www.trialpay.com/" target="_blank">TrialPay</a> for three years, where he supports a wide variety of computer systems for 100 employees. TrialPay works with more than 10,000 companies in social games and software, including CNET, which is offering a special “<a href="http://download.cnet.com/software-deals?tag=rb_content;contentNav" target="_blank">New Year, New PC</a>” bundle.</i><br />
Now that the new year is upon us, many people may be thinking about dumping their slower, outdated hardware and starting with a clean slate. But why shell out hundreds, if not thousands for a new system?  There are several ways to give your PC a makeover that will get it running as good as new for much less.<br />
Here are four things to try.  <br />
<hr /><h2>1. Do More With Less</h2><hr />Running too much software on your computer can eat up your hard drive space and degrade performance quickly.  Be efficient when selecting software; only get what you need and use one solution instead of two when possible.  Here are a few areas where you can cut corners:<br />
<b>Antivirus software:</b> Choose an antivirus product that protects your computer from viruses, spyware and adware.  There’s no need to purchase a separate solution to protect your computer from each when most of the top brands offer comprehensive protection.  Using just one application for protection will decrease the number of programs running on your machine at the same time.<br />
<b>PDF tools:</b> The top PDF tools offer more features than the average consumer actually needs.  Try the lite version where possible, or try <a href="http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/creator/">Foxit’s PDF Creator</a>.  It’s a great, lightweight alternative that uses less space on your hard drive and won’t slow down your computer.<br />
<b>File compression utilities:</b> File compression utilities allow you to compress files to reduce their size and open compressed files without using a lot of disk space. By using the software to compress your files, you can actually get more mileage out of your hard drive and backup drive instead of purchasing a larger one.<br />
An uninstaller program is also a nice add-on to the products above ― it can help remove all of the “helper files” related to software programs that you might not be able to remove on your own. You can find several highly rated freeware or shareware programs at <a href="http://download.cnet.com/windows/uninstallers/" target="_blank">Download.com</a>.  <br />
<i><b>Disclosure:</b> Foxit Software’s e-commerce platform is provided by Trial Pay.</i><br />
<hr /><h2>2. Add More RAM to Boost Speed</h2><hr />When you run any application on your computer, it uses part of your RAM (Random Access Memory). When you don’t have enough RAM, your computer runs significantly slower. Adding more RAM to your computer can give you an easy speed boost. Newer applications require more RAM, so even if you don’t run a lot of applications at once, an older PC might need an upgrade.<br />
<a href="http://www.crucial.com/" target="_blank">Crucial</a> has a great tool to help you determine exactly what you need. Just enter the make and model of your PC, and Crucial tells you your current system specifications and the maximum RAM capacity that your computer can handle. It even provides excellent guides to help you install RAM yourself and troubleshoot problems, and it’s also a great place to get good deals on memory.<br />
The installation process is straightforward (and even easier for laptops than desktops), so you can do it yourself. <a href="http://www.howstuffworks.com/" target="_blank">HowStuffWorks.com</a> has created easy-to-follow installation videos for installing RAM. The desktop RAM video is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiFIgSQOY7g" target="_blank">here</a>, and the laptop RAM video is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkWe0gHA10I" target="_blank">here</a>.  <br />
<hr /><h2>3. Move to the Cloud</h2><hr /><br />
<br />
<center></center><br />
Using more than 80% of your hard drive space can make your computer sluggish over time.  Most experts agree that you should leave about 15% to 20% of your disk space free.  If you’re maxing out your hard drive space, you don’t need to buy a new computer or install a larger hard drive.  Instead, you can move your files to the “cloud,” which is a set of technologies and services that allow you to do normal computing tasks over the Internet in real time. For example, instead of storing your pictures on your hard drive (which could take up several gigabytes of space), you can put them on a photo-sharing site (Picasa, Facebook, Photobucket, etc.) or a free online file storage tool like <a href="http://www.dropbox.com/" target="_blank">DropBox</a>.<br />
Online backup solutions are a great way to get more mileage out of your hard drive.  You can look at online backup solutions, such as <a href="http://www.mozy.com/" target="_blank">Mozy</a>, <a href="https://www.sugarsync.com/" target="_blank">SugarSync</a> or <a href="http://www.carbonite.com/" target="_blank">Carbonite</a>, or you can get an external hard drive with backup software. For some excellent advice on setting up an external hard drive backup system, check out this <a href="http://lifehacker.com/147855/geek-to-live--automatically-back-up-your-hard-drive" target="_blank"><i>Lifehacker</i> guide</a>.<br />
Online backup solutions are the most convenient way to store your files because you can access them from any computer, as long as you have a good Internet connection. External drives can be heavy and cumbersome when traveling, and you risk losing all of your files if the drive is damaged or misplaced. However, online backup solutions are more costly than external drives. Most services charge a recurring monthly or yearly fee, whereas external drives are a one-time expense.<br />
<hr /><h2>4. Wipe Your Computer</h2><hr />If your computer still doesn’t perform as good as new after trying the previous tips, consider restoring it to its factory settings.  Identifying and repairing every issue affecting your computer’s performance can be time-consuming and difficult (even for advanced users).  Starting from scratch allows you to remove everything lurking in your system that might be slowing it down.  In fact, it’s the only way to be completely sure that you’ve removed harmful viruses or trojans.<br />
Before wiping your computer, make sure you have an effective backup solution to store your documents, media files (video, photos, music, etc.), web browser settings, bookmarks, saved game files, and any other files that you can’t do without. Browser settings and bookmarks can be exported directly from your browser.  Game files are trickier because every game is different.  You might be able to copy the files from your game’s program directory file, but you should visit the official website for each of your games for specific instructions.<br />
Then, identify the programs that you want to keep on your computer (games, antivirus software, Office, etc.). You will need to locate the installation disks, product keys or download links for each program that did not come with your computer when you purchased it.<br />
Most computers come with a recovery disk, so when you’re ready to take the plunge, just pop in the disk and choose the “Restore” option.  However, some computers don’t have recovery disks.  Instead, this information is stored on a small portion of the hard drive that is partitioned from the rest of your data and will not be erased upon restoring the computer.  See the manual that came with your computer for further instructions as this process will vary.<br />
In any case, make sure you have your Windows product key.  This key might be printed on a sticker somewhere on your computer or in the materials you received when you purchased the computer. You may be asked for this when restoring your computer.<br />
For a more comprehensive tutorial, this <a href="http://lifehacker.com/software/windows/geek-to-live-how-to-format-your-hard-drive-and-install-windows-xp-from-scratch-157578.php" target="_blank"><i>Lifehacker</i></a> guide has an excellent step-by-step guide for restoring your system.  The entire process could take you all day, so be prepared to spend a lot of time on this.
