In movies, music is used intensively to set the stage for a dramatic appearance or a sad goodbye. Just imagine Pretty Woman without Roy Orbison, Wayne’s World without Queen, Robin Hood without Bryan Adams, Men in Black without Will Smith, or Kill Bill without the entire soundtrack. These movies wouldn’t be the same. Music can be entertaining, bring back memories, trigger strong feelings, distract, and comfort. Music creates moods because it betrays your brain and you can use this little trick in your favor. Apply music for your mood, in order to promote or change it. Here are the 5 best websites that play music matching your mood or the mood you desire. AUPEO! AUPEO! was launched just over a year ago in Berlin, Germany. This explains the funny language on great parts of the website. However, the mood categories are pinned down in English, so you’re all set to go! As you can probably guess by the screenshot, you can also play music you like by entering an artist you enjoy listenin...

No matter which version of Windows you use, you will find your PC slowing down after a few months of regular use. This holds true for the latest incarnation as well – Windows 7. There are several third-party utilities that optimize Windows, but it is not safe to run system programs from unknown developers. In this guide, we will cover speeding up windows 7 and how to optimize your Windows 7 PC or Laptop in a safe manner. These steps do not involve any “hacks”, so you can safely use them without harming your system in any way. #1: Remove Unused Programs & Windows Features When you buy a PC or laptop, it usually comes pre-installed with a lot of demo-ware, trial-ware, try-before-you-buy kind of software. If you like to play with new applications all the time, you might have yourself installed software downloaded from the Internet. Each program installed on your computer uses system resources that you are wasting if you don’t really need the software. Remove and uninstall all soft...

Now I am here to show you some really cool Windows 7 wallpapers that you will really like. After all your desktop is a representation of yourself and you do look at it pretty often. What are you currently using for your desktop image? We would love to hear from you in the comments below. But in the meantime we will be showing you a few sites.

Once upon a time, online translation services were a seldom seen wonder. Now, the internet is bulking with them. Suddenly you need to make a choice; whether to go with Babel Fish , WordLingo , Google Translate , or yet another new service. Great, if not for the fact that choice always creates the possibility of error. And with so many services available, people just don’t know what to choose. A lot of my friends – who are not at all tech deprived – ended up using a bad translation service. Bad: in terms of grammar, accuracy and overall user experience. This article will show four reasons why the Google Translate tool beats (most, leaving a margin for undiscovered greatness) other translation services. Note that this is not an opinionated, but a factual argument, but that shouldn’t keep you from disagreeing. 1. Fluent Language Use For most languages, but especially for English and Spanish (two of the world’s most popular languages), your translations will prove incredibly fluent – m...
