Twitter has been gaining serious momentum in the last year, and that is likely why Google is in talks with the company as a potential target of an acquisition. Out of curiosity, I decided to take a quick peek at the company’s performance on Google Ad Planner, and here’s what we see:When you have a traffic chart that looks like this, there is something wrong if big companies aren’t trying to snap

You may not notice it at first sight, but a deeper look will surely reveal a few dozen duplicate files on your hard drive, eating up precious disk space. Are you going to stay there, without lifting a finger? Of course not.

Have you noticed a sudden slow-down in your PC’s performance? Does your Internet router or modem seem to be working (lots of lights flashing) even when you’re not browsing the Net? Have your browser settings (like homepage and default search engines) changed without your permission?

Now that Last.fm will start charging for its online radio service - except for the United States, United Kingdom and Germany - maybe it’s time to move on to other alternative online services that can also help you discover new bands and new music styles. To be honest, I think the €3 monthly fee is reasonable if you compare it to what you obtain in exchange: your favorite music anytime, anywhere.

If like Dell, you’ve gone back to XP after being left thoroughly unimpressed with Vista, you probably won’t be missing the various problems it caused but you may well be missing the slick graphics and look of Vista. Or, maybe you don’t see much point in upgrading but like the look of Vista. If so, you can have the best of both worlds by installing a Vista theme pack. Theme packs don’t convert
