    The Benefits Of Motion Sensor Hidden Cameras

    Although home invasions can take place at any time of year, research has shown that burglaries occur more in the summer than any other season. While this is an unfortunate reality that can’;t always be prevented, there are things every home owner can do to deal with the threat. If you want to do just that, you can install a motion sensor hidden camera in every location that needs monitoring.

  • Exploring Mobile Printing

    Exploring Mobile Printing

    Most consumers have been under the impression that ever since Apple introduced the AirPrint feature into iOS all problems related to wireless printing may well have been resolved. But, the real story is a little different. This futuristic technology still hasn’t led to the advent of the wireless office and that is backed by a set of reasons.

    As an individual user, you wouldn’t notice the shortcomings as a large company or organization would. It’s amusing to know that AirPrint only supports over 200 printers, which is a big drawback. However, the most crucial requirement that is expected out of mobile printing technology is that many organizations require the printer to be instructed from anywhere on the planet.

    Recent surveys show that the primary reason why people are not availing the mobile printing option is because they don’t have access to a compatible printer. Despite there being numerous apps, both free and paid, offering solutions, there are still limitations in place that restrict freely available wireless printing.

  • How to Run SpinRite in VirtualBox

    How to Run SpinRite in VirtualBox

    SpinRite is a popular hard drive maintenance and data recovery software from Gibson Research Corporation, and costs $90 to own. While I haven’t extensively used the software, it has helped me recover data from hard drives when I thought the data was lost. It is a small application, and you also don’t need a powerful PC to use the application.

    The once aspect of SpinRite that makes it different from other drive maintenance and data recovery tools is that you are required to boot up your computer using SpinRite to launch the application. SpinRite loads a copy of FreeDOS, detects the disks on your system and then allows you to perform specific scans of the disks.

    Of course, if you need to scan a hard drive, you will usually need to connect it to either the IDE your SATA interface within your computer, which requires you to open up computer, and then connect the hard drive to the correct interface so the FreeDOS operating system can find your hard drive. In order for you to connect the drive to the USB port of you computer requires you to load the USB drivers within FreeDOS in order for the hard drive to be detected.

    The alternative is to use a virtual system created by software such as VirtualBox to automatically setup and use a hard drive that is connected to a USB port. While the scanning may not be quite a fast, it is much easier to simply connect a hard drive to a USB port and then have SpinRite scan the hard drive in a virtual system.

    I outline the steps that you need to follow to run SpinRite in VirtualBox.
