As a webmaster, you need to constantly optimize your website for the search engines and most importantly for your users and their on-site experience. Google created a Firefox plugin that analyzes your page speed, gives it a ranking and offers some advices regarding the loaded elements from that site. Don’t get too hasty, few sites get high scores, but your job is to be somewhere above average at least. The Google Page Speed plugin analyzes elements such as JS files, CSS files, caching and compression, DNS lookups and so forth. You can easily find out what you can optimize/repair, following the detailed errors/warnings. FileCluster.com has an average rating of 82/100, while site such as Facebook (not logged) went for 88/100, Twitter 89/100 and CNN.com 69/100.

It seems that Apple decided to sue one of its strong competitors, HTC, for several patent infringements, related to the iPhone’s user interface and hardware. Apple CEO, Steve Jobs, stated: ”We can sit by and watch competitors steal our patented inventions, or we can do something about it. We’ve decided to do something about it. We think competition is healthy, but competitors should create their own original technology, not steal ours.”
We finally decided that we should use our design skills to create some quality WordPress themes. With that in mind, we are proud to announce that the first versions of our themes are ready to download. What can we say about our themes, well, they’re stylish, clean, widget ready and customizable.

And no, we won’t kill them with “his song”, we will kill them directly with Killing Me Softly. The application practically allows you to schedule an automatic restart or shutdown also killing all the unresponsive processes.
