icon 24 Reasons Why Windows Built-in Defrag is Not Enough
Like many "built-in" tools in Windows (such as WordPad, backup, image editing, etc.), Microsoft offers its operating system's customers a basic solution to common needs, while providing Microsoft partners, and even Microsoft itself, the opportunity to build more robust solutions. For example, Microsoft licenses their robust Word and Outlook applications, Adobe offers Photoshop, and enterprise ISVs such as Symantec, CA, and Acronis offer comprehensive data backup solutions. Built-in tools can be useful for home and casual use, but due to their limitations, a more full-featured approach is necessary for the demanding business, government and enterprise environments. You wouldn't expect your organization's design department to rely on Microsoft Paint. The point of that statement is that relying on tools that offer only basic functionality reduces the productive capacity of the user. Third-party programs typically offer solutions in the form of advanced features and functionality, which add value and reduce costs to an organization's bottom line.

Application Bloat: 3 Tips for Slimming Your App Portfolio
Application portfolios have grown big, complex, and unwieldy. IT organizations bear high costs simply to sustain them, while IT productivity suffers as staff spends too much time integrating applications, dealing with large data volumes, and wrestling with redundant and duplicate applications. Besides gobbling up IT budget simply to "keep the lights on," these sprawling application environments prevent IT organizations from pursuing strategic enhancements and innovations that can drive value for the business. It's a vicious cycle that can materially impact business performance

Genetically influenced responses to alcohol affect brain activation both with and without alcohol

Posted: 14 Oct 2011 01:28 PM PDT

A low level of response (LR) to alcohol reflects at least in part a low brain response to alcohol and carries significant risk for the later development of alcoholism. A new study used functional magnetic resonance imaging to examine brain activation in individuals with low and high LRs to alcohol while they performed a cognitive task. Significant differences detected in brain activation may contribute to the inability by individuals with a low LR to recognize modest levels of alcohol intoxication.

Heavy drinking undergraduates who are impulsive, aggressive may be at high risk for alcohol problems
