Wenn wir von aktuell gehaltenen Systemen sprechen, denken wir in erster Linie an Windows Patches, Servicepacks, Treiber, sowie das tägliche Update des Virenscanners. Aber nicht nur die Aktualität des Systems im Allgemeinen und der gängigsten Dienstprogramme ist wichtig, auch veraltete Software stellt Sicherheitslücken dar. Und wer von uns ist schon ohne entsprechende Hilfsmittel in der Lage, präzise zu bestimmen, welche Programme sich auf unseren Rechnern tummeln und vor allem wie lange deren letzte Aktualisierung her ist? Ganz zu schweigen vom nötigen Zeitaufwand, sich auf Herstellerwebsites regelmäßig zu informieren und die Programmupdates zu suchen.
Nun wäre es wünschenswert, wenn es ein kleines Tool gäbe, welches uns dabei helfen könnte. Microsoft hat zwar angekündigt, diese Funktionalität zur Verfügung stellen zu wollen, schafft es aber seit Jahren nicht, externe Programme in ihre Updates einzubinden. Bei Linux ist dies beispielsweise besser gelöst.
Die Firma Secunia jedoch bietet den kostenlosen Personal Software Inspector (PSI) an, welcher ein Softwareinventar unseres Rechners anfertigt und für updatewürdige Programme auch gleich die passende Aktualisierung sucht. Was das Programm genau kann und ob es sich im Praxistest bewährt, sehen wir uns im Folgenden einmal genauer an, viel Spaß beim Lesen...

At the launch of the new HD 7950 we checked out a pair of pre-overclocked Sapphire cards in CrossFire. Today we check out the other HD 7950 the company is offering and see how it goes with the latest WHQL driver from AMD which is the first official driver for the HD 7900 series.
Outside of our normal Catalyst article we expanded upon our testing when we looked at the Diamond HD 7970 where we tested our complete benchmark line up on the latest driver and found some nice improvements.

You have probably seen an article posted by Gizmodo listing 7 reasons to stick with Windows XP. Well, there are certainly some reasons for sticking with Windows XP and the one that really makes sense is if your current system is too old to support Windows 7. You may not meet the minimum system requirements or your system may have an odd ball piece of hardware that is not supported. However, if your system can pass Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor I suggest you bite the bullet and do the upgrade. If you still have your doubts because the 7 points highlighted by Gizmodo are reason enough, here's my take on Gizmodo's points.

If you take into consideration that WordPress is the most widely used blogging platform, it is confusing why they are still living in the past. I am referring to the usage of AIM, Jabber, and Yahoo in the user's profile. Currently, within WordPress, there is no way for you to modify these choices. However, with a few simple lines of code in our functions.php file, we can bring WordPress into the 21st century.
