START NOWWord on the street is that users of Samsung’s newest phone, the Galaxy Nexus, are experiencing the best Android experience ever. Android 4.0, Ice Cream Sandwich, has breathed new life into an already lively platform.
Galaxy Nexus’s highlighted features include:
Face Unlock (lets you unlock your phone just by looking at it)
Easy-to-read data usage (limits on data usage; instant access to current usage)
A panoramic camera
Ability to have multiple web pages open at once
Improvements to auto –correction and touch recognition
Voice dictation of emails and texts
While not necessarily better than the iPhone as a whole, the Galaxy Nexus does have a faster camera with higher resolution, as well as more RAM, than the iPhone.
If your computer is running slowly or it's getting a lot of pop-ups, it may be infected with a virus, spyware or malware, and your immediate attention to this is crucial.
When those of us at DCG are asked to work on an infected PC, we deploy these tools in the following order: Malwarebytes, followed by CCleaner, and finally Combofix.

I started the diet in March and, by July, I had lost 30 lbs.
Network firewalls and antivirus software are staples of any business place. But a third and equally vital safeguard has become just as important: Web filtering.
Over 41 percent of small businesses, as well as two-thirds of large companies, use web filtering, according to research firm IDC. At its most basic level, a web filtering tool blocks certain URLs that companies don't want employees drifting onto.
