Auslogics Disk Defrag has been part of my system maintenance toolkit for quite some time. With the release of version 3.2, it's now even better at tidying up and optimizing your system's hard disk drives. In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-use interface, Disk Defrag 3.2 offers improved single file and folder defragging, better processing of multiple disks, a simplified scheduling screen, and more informative tool tips. Auslogics has also fine-tuned the program's defragmentation and file consolidation algorithms.
For laptop users, there's a new option to lock the program if your system is running on battery power -- so scheduled operations don't kick in and drain your power source at an inopportune moment. If you happen to have an SSD installed in your PC, you can head to the Disk Defrag options and exclude it from scanning (many think that defragmenting an SSD is a very bad idea).
Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download and works with most versions of Windows.

Freshplum, an analytics startup for online retailers that was founded by a former Facebook product manager, is going after small to medium businesses with an easy way for anyone to add a shopping cart to their site. Called Helium, the product is based off a product that another company in the Y Combinator network, payments startup Stripe, launched a few weeks ago. Stripe recently launched a product called Connect that makes it easy for any business to enable its customers to do direct transactions without having to wait weeks for approval by a payments processor. Freshplum’s founder Sam Odio says that while the developer community appreciates Stripe for its simple API, it’s not really that easy to use for non-technical business owners. “Stripe is a great product. We’re big fans of the company. The only problem is that for a small business, it’s actually pretty difficult to integrate,” he said. “You need to have programming experience. You need to set-up a back-end to store the order data, and you need to set up a shopping cart front-end and pass that order information to Stripe. So Helium is essentially a front-end for Stripe.” With Helium, you add a line of Javascript and then another line of code wherever you want a “Buy Now” button. You’ll get a dashboard that shows you recent orders and lets you easily add items. While Stripe could go ahead and build a comparable product for small to medium-sized businesses, Odio says that hopefully Freshplum will be moving fast enough that by the time they do, his offering will have sophisticated retail analytics to offer customers. Freshplum’s core business is in analytics that help retailers optimize on pricing, so that they don’t charge too much or too little for their products. They already have a product in beta for the very biggest online retailers that’s generating revenue. Helium is for the lower-end of the market. Odio says this group might include a blogger looking to sell content, or musicians that are selling unreleased tracks. Freshplum will take a 2 percent share of revenue on top of Stripe’s 2.9 percent and 30 cents per transaction. He says that makes it roughly equal to Gumroad’s 5 percent plus 25 cents a transaction. The company has raised $1.4 million in funding from investors including Google Ventures, Charles River Ventures, NEA, Y Combinator, former Gmail product manager Gabor Cselle, CRV’s George

If you have a notebook Mac and you use it both in an office and on the road, you probably know by now that having it at a comfortable viewing angle when in the office is key to the long-term health of your spine and posture.

Apple released its 10-K filing with the SEC today, reflecting its financial status and records for the entirety of 2012. Most of the content is what we've seen already from quarterly results, but a couple of statistics stood out as particularly interesting and worthy of note.
