With this option, Amazon continues to make bite-sized chunks of its cloud services available to users of all sizes and computing needs. This is just the latest — and biggest instance — and brings the total of Amazon instance types to 12, which vary according to CPU, networking, storage and memory.

Cluster Compute Eight Extra Large (dubbed cc2.8xlarge of CC2 in AWS parlance), available now in a beta, comes with 60.5 GB of RAM and 3.37 TB of instance storage, according to the Amazon Web Services blog.

The new compute cluster should appeal to high-performance computing (HPC) enthusiasts who want to offload come or all of their big jobs to Amazon’s cloud.  Users can opt to run CC2 instances on Linux Amazon Machine Images (AMIs) or Windows Server 2008 R2.

Developers can launch an on-demand CC2 instance for .40 per hour for Linux of .97 per hour for Windows.

The previous largest cluster (the Quadruple Extra Large cluster) started at .30 per hour for Linux and .61 per hour for Windows.

Users can also reserve instances for range of prices. Or they can bid to run CC2 on the spot market as needed. Use of such spot instances is attractive to companies that need to run batch-processing jobs on an ad hoc basis. This may all seem like penny ante stuff, but Amazon has over the past decade built AWS into a billion-dollar-a-year business.

Amazon has opened up more options since launching its first HPC instances in July, 2010. This summer it started pairing spot instance pricing with HPC instances. In July 2010, it launched HPC instances for the first time.

Since this is a beta release there are some limitations — CC2 is available in a single zone in the northeast US region with capacity to be added to other regions throughout next year.

First, you have to know what a registry is in order for you to fix it. Simply said, the registry is a database of information about Windows. This means your Windows settings are stored in this database. Think of this as an information desk where the person on desk knows about all your settings and configurations. The basic problem with the registry is that it can get corrupted in time that you install or uninstall a lot of applications. You end up clogging the registry every time you install or uninstall programs from Windows.

This clogging of the registry slows down your system significantly. To speed up your PC you can buy more ram. However, what if you don’t have the money to buy more ram, or what if you are not technical enough to put in ram inside your PC or laptop? You can speed up your PC by repairing the registry.

Hacking the registry by hand was the only option not so long ago. Yes, a lot of hardcore windows users still manually tinker with the registry. Of course, I cannot advocate the manual tinkering of the registry because it can literally kill your windows install. It will take a lot out of you to restore your Windows install if you damaged your registry. A lot of people opt to just reformat than to mess around with some complicated fix. I must tell you not to tinker with your registry manually.

The easiest thing you can do is to procure a registry scanner. Registry cleaners are a dime a dozen nowadays, so you have to choose carefully what registry cleaner you want to get. Your registry scanner should have a built in system restore. A good registry cleaner should also be able to remove malicious entries.

Nowadays, all you really need to do is scan your PC and it will do the rest. Luckily, we don’t need to manually tinker with the registry anymore. We live in a world where we only need to push button and relax. While this is lazy, I do not suggest that you manually fix your registry.

Do you know that the Apple Macintosh market share is only 3.6 percent in 2010? This means that Mac users are in an exclusive club of users. The numbers are just not enough to make Mac users target of malware. This does not mean that Macs are inherently secure like Linux. This just means that the Mac user numbers are insignificant enough for the malware authors to even bother with.

Since Windows PCs have a huge user base, it is necessary to have adware and spyware removal tools. You don’t want to be another victim of credit card fraud or identity theft do you? That’s just the draw back of using a popular platform used by millions and millions of people. Because Windows XP have a market share of 62.53 percent, Windows Vista with 15.26 percent, and Windows 7 with 12.67 percent market share, it is not surprising why we are a big target of malware authors.

In addition to market share, we all know that Windows users are mostly new computer users who click on anything before reading properly. According to research, Windows users click on warnings before reading them. This is why antispyware and antivirus software should always be present in every Windows machine. You can also help protect your system with an intrusion detection application. Your antivirus should also have heuristic scanning algorithm to detect zero-day exploits. Aside from that, your PC needs to be maintained using registry cleaners.

Remember to use your head when surfing the Internet. Keep yourself protected on the Internet by avoiding IE and using other great alternative browsers like Firefox. It is like the Wild West out there with thousands of attackers ready to rob you every chance they get.

Luckily, no malware authors are targeting Mac and Linux systems. If you really want to be safe online then you can go for Linux or Mac. Then again, Macs costs a lot and Linux can take a lot of knowledge. You can either use security tools available to you or switch platforms. Just use the security tools available to you if you can’t afford a Mac and don’t want to bother with Linux.
