Advantages of a VPN Server: How to Set It Up

Virtual Private Network, or a VPN server, is an Internet-based private network that is set up between several computers. With recent news that the NSA monitors a great deal of Internet-based communication, setting up a private network to give an extra layer of privacy between yourself and government agencies overstepping their bounds can’t hurt. A VPN might sound complicated to set up at first, but the advantages are well worth the effort you put into the server search and configuration.

Fix: My Keyboard Keys are Messed Up

Windows 7

Occasionally, I have been having a problem with my keyboard when in some applications. Sometimes as I am working in Firefox when I try to insert a punctuation symbol such as a double quote (“) another character – È – would be displayed on the screen. When I switch to another application the double quote would appear properly. As this would happen on a frequent basis at times, I would get frustrated as I would need to restart Firefox to have the keys return to normal.

Tmart 8GB Simple MP3 Player Review

Tmart 8GB Simple MP3 Player

I remember way back in the 1990s when MP3 files first started to become popular. Computers back then didn’t have large hard drives, and external drives weren’t as readily available as they are today. Playing music on compact discs was the best way to listen to music. When the MP3 file started to become popular people gravitated to that format because you can easily have good quality music using a fraction of the storage space of a CD.

When Apple released their iPod music player and iTunes, MP3 files really took off, and soon portable music was easier than ever to enjoy. While the iPods are still popular today, some may not want to spend so much for a music player, and may be looking for a much more affordable option. This is where something like the 8GB Black Simple Fashionable Exterior Plump MP3 Player could fill the needs of some.

Outrun 2 Arcade Machine

Outrun 2 Arcade Machine

Through life we are offered a wealth of different investment opportunities; a new boiler, 3D television, overseas property or even in the form of having a child. Investments can be damaging to the wallet, so one must always choose wisely in order to not be financially broken.

However, when a person sees this awe-inspiring Outrun 2 machine retailing at nearly £68,000 – they simply weigh up their possible investments, turn to their partner and state ‘We don’t really need a kid anyway…do we?’.

The Outrun franchise is perhaps one of the most well-known arcade racing games there ever was.

BYOD Rules, Network Security & Your Business

BYOD Rules, Network Security & Your Business

The integration of sophisticated interfaces in modern devices has made it difficult to draw a line between personal and business usage. Nearly a decade back, it was fairly easy to differentiate between data/software/applications targeted or being used at an enterprise level and those at a personal scale.

The data that is being circulated around can be classified as business and non-business. Each has its own specific attributes with respect to sharing and security management. For instance, under no circumstance would you want enterprise data (account information, client detail, etc.) to be circulated freely.

CryptoLocker – Holding Your Computer for Ransom

CyptoLocker - Holding Your Computer for Ransom

In September 2013 a new type of malware was discovered to be making the rounds in computers running Microsoft Windows. This new malware is not really a virus because it typically requires a user to open an infected e-mail. What makes this malware particularly dangerous is what it does once it infects your computer – it holds your files for ransom.

How to Backup Your Files for Years to Come

How to Backup Your Files for Years to Come

It is amazing how fast life can go by sometimes. I was recently looking at some of my digital photos and realized that I have over 28,000 digital photos saved since 2002. That was the year I bought my first digital camera. Back then I didn’t realize how many I would actually accumulate, but after starting a family since that time, the number of photos has grown exponentially.

Photos aren’t something that I can recreate, which means that if I lose one, it is lost forever. If you are like me and have kids, losing photos is probably something you hope will never happen – because you can’t retake the picture. As I was going through my photos I am always glad that I have a good backup process in place that allows me to enjoy the same photos 11 years after they were taken. Having a backup process is the reason that I know I can view these photos 11 years into the future and beyond.
