Investigate memory usage with Windows 7 Resource Monitor

Memory basics

Without getting too technical, let’s take a moment to briefly look at memory management in Microsoft Windows 7. Doing so will help you to interpret the information displayed on the Memory tab.
To begin with, Windows 7 operating system’s memory manager creates a virtual memory system that is made up of available physical memory and a page file system on the hard disk. Using this virtual memory system allows the operating system to allocate fixed-length blocks of memory, called pages, that are contiguous in both physical memory addressing and virtual memory addressing.

TimelineRemove: Hide Facebook Timeline For All Profiles

If you don’t like the new Timeline feature on Facebook and want to view profiles in the old style, then TimelineRemove is the perfect Chrome extension for you. This tiny, but handy tool disables the new Facebook timeline feature and restores the classic look, without changing the timeline behavior for other visitors of your Facebook profile. The extension basically works by hiding the timeline, so you can view your own and others’ profiles in the old style. TimelineRemove works automatically once installed, and a button is added to the toolbar that lets you toggle the timeline on and off, whenever  you want.

Google Search: Change is Coming

Google is the midst of overhauling its search to make it more intuitive and provide more relevant answers to queries, but if you’ve been reading Mashable, you knew that already. As Google Fellow and SVP Amit Singhal explained to Mashable last month, the shift attempts to go beyond mere words and into the world of entities, attributes and the relationship between those entities. In practice, that means that over the next few months you will begin to see subtly different results to searches. (Singhal also mentioned Mashable‘s story in a post he wrote on his Google+ page on Thursday explaining the ongoing changes regarding Google’s search.)

Windows Phone 8 Details Leak: Bigger and Faster

While Microsoft is still trying to get people to care about Windows Phone, details of the next big version are already nailed down, claims Pocketnow. The site says it's acquired a Microsoft video spilling the beans on Windows Phone 8.
So what should we expect from Windows 8 "Apollo"? Will it fix everything that's bothered us about WP7? Will it be enough to make people buy a Windows Phone, or even know they're in existence? We hope so—and it looks promising:

X-Ray X-Mas Tree Is X-tra Neat

Nick Veasey is a mad scientist-photographer who x-rays everything that falls onto his hands, including a Boeing 777. He did a new series for these holidays: gifts and Christmas trees photographed with his giant x-ray machine.
With this artwork you will never have to wait again for December 25 to find out what is hiding under the tree.
The artist Nick Veasey from Kent, UK, has a penchant for X-raying inanimate objects to find out what is inside.
"It's probably every child's dream to be able to have X-ray vision and see inside the presents before the big day,” Nick told the Daily Mail.
"I suppose it's better than shaking them to listen to what they sound like, as that can cause problems."
Using a scanner ten times more powerful than those found in airports and hospitals, he created these intriguing shots of Christmas gifts.
From high heels to iPhones, dolls to spanners - with Nick around, you never have to be surprised again.
