DeWayne's Windows 10 Short Review

8/31/2015

Windows 10 Review

First to clear my credentials. I am CompTia A+ certified; DCSE certified; PC Specialist; & 1 more I forget. All those costly degrees & certs are tucked away in a drawer in my office.
So to my review.
I did the as this year free upgrade from W7 to W10. I was pleased. Within seconds I was able to navigate around.

1) Perhaps it is just me, but the learning curve was small. However my wife who is an average PC user was also able to get around W10 within seconds of logging in.
2) The Start menu is the best of all OS's that Microsoft has devoloped, except W8, W8 could be considered a sin . It was very easy to figure out how to remove tiles and pin tiles that I wanted.
3) I also very much like the ease of the file structure, it is logical.
4) It has a notable faster response than previous versions of Windows, which is of course desirable.
5) A much cleaner uncluttered feel & look
************************
But I have a few picks.
1) Boot time. I think this boot time may be longer than Windows ME was. Every time I boot this laptop I am surprised at how long it takes to boot. But at least it is in your view long. W7 got to the desktop quick, but it was still loading the drivers etc.
2) When connected to the Internet W10 itself is adware, for MS products, nevertheless it's adware. I own a disc copy of Office 2010, but when connected to the Internet W10 tells me to "upgrade" to the cloud version, it's better. No it's not.
3) This one I am sure has a solution. In all previous OS's users had their personal folders on the Start menu. I have yet to find that option. Yes we have the "Explorer" folder that takes us there, but that requires 2 extra clicks. A long day on the computer, do the math. But it is not the biggest lost.
4) If you have more than 1 user profile upon reboot instead of taking you to a user option menu it logs in to the last user. I don't like that. My wife uses the laptop far more than I do, but when I do use it I hate the dire warning at shut off of other users being logged in.

Overall I think W10 may, may be the best OS MS has devoloped, but....I do not believe it will remain free. After 1st year I truly believe it will be subscription based. Perhaps it will be required if you want any security updates. MS has never given anything away or done what the majority wanted, without demanding something in return.

What would the world be like if man had solved all of the problems that haunt them?
This might be the answer.

Beyond The Edge Of The Universe

8/29/2015

So, if the Universe is rotating as galaxies do, then what stops matter from being lost on the fringes of the Universe?
Several factors must be considered.
1) Einstein proved that spacetime is a fabric, upon which matter resides and in turn that matter warps the fabric of spacetime creating gravity. Since all matter must remain on the fabric of spacetime nothing can be flung off the edge of th Universe since the Universe IS spacetime as well. In order for matter to be lost at the edge of the Universe then the fabric of spacetime would have to be torn away.
2) Where there is nothing, nothing can exist. Many think of what is beyond the edge of the Universe as "empty space" or a "vacuum in space". Neither statement is true. Beyond the edge of the Universe there is simply nothing. Nothing empty, nothing void, just nothing. When you reach the edge of spacetime you reach the edge of the created Universe. When spacetime ends at the edge of the Universe all basis for the existance of matter ends.

Therefore without the fabric of spacetime and with the absence of all that matter needs to exist matter cannot exist or flung free of the edge of the Universe.

On Dark Matter

8/28/2015

Suppose the Universe is shaped like a sprial galaxy. Now suppose that the Universe is spinning as would a sprial galaxy. The centrifugal force would create a gravity field that would assist as "glue", but not enough. In order for the entire Universe to exert the kind if force needed to keep all matter in place it would collapse in upon itself. Therefore the gravitational force exerted would be weak, and the centrifugal force would be minimal. To supplement that force each rotating galaxy would create its own gravitational waves alone spacetime. In turn the neutrino equotient present would also create a gravitational force. I believe it possible that these gravitational forces combined may be equate to the force that is dark energy.
Since Einstein proved that a person in an enclosed elevator accelerating upward in a vacuum would be unable to differentiate between gravity or acceleration the same principle would apply to the spin of the Universe. We (all people on Earth) are in the enclosed elevator or in this case the enclosed Universe. On a scale the size of the Universe we do not have a window to observe the rotation. We can "detect" the rotation by its action on other matter; namly gravity.

"Crush It With Kindle" Book Review

Crush it with Kindle - John Tighe

I currently have 3 books on Amazon. My reviews are very good, my sells are not. I got Tighe's book in hopes of seeing what I was doing wrong. Was I impressed. I have read help sites and other information, but those other sources were lacking. Here is what Tighe's book gave me.

1) I know SEO & keywords as I build websites. However I did not know how to reaserch my keywords on Amazon. Tighe explains this in detail, from his explanation I changed the Keywords on all my books.

2) I learned the proper way to set up a free promotion. I was doing it wrong. So I made notes and look forward to setting up my next promotion.

3) My description. I know HTML but "some" HTML is only what can be used. After trial and error I have now figured it out mentally, so I will change. But he also had other excellent suggestions, which I have applied or soon will.

4) Social media, I have been using it, but I needed to inprove, which I did.

5) Now what sets Tighe's book apart from others I have read. Other books and sites cover where to place your book, but not one I have read explains the difference between the live Amazon site & the KDP information. When Tighe pointed it out I was surprised, and guess what?, I had to correct all 3 of mine. It took time because you have to keep going back and forth between the two to check. In the end I did the best that could be done. This is one of the points that appealed to me the most.

Overall this book has the most useful information in one publication I have found. It is not fluffy with words, but to the point. I still have work to do, but at least when I'm done I can say I did all I could.

Thanks for a to-the-point book on publishing on Kindle.
