We live in a connected world where everyone seems to be online. While there are many benefits to going online, those with children, however, need to keep in mind what their children are doing.

There are many threats to children on the Internet. The most common being strangers that are looking to prey on children or take advantage of them. Friends can even become a problem if they have a falling out with your child resulting in bullying.

February 26, 2016May 27, 2013 by Guest Blogger

In spite of the predictions of naysayers everywhere, the iPhone 5 has triumphed, by and large. While of course, the device isn’t perfect, and arguably nowhere near the incredible amounts of hype surrounding its release, it is an incredible piece of technology. But what about the less heralded, but equivalently useful accessories that go with it. What about iPhone 5 cases?

Streaming Mobile Video is Changing TV and Movies Forever

August 16, 2013May 24, 2013 by Paul Salmon

TV isn’t just for TV anymore. We still watch content day and night, but the access to our favorite shows doesn’t run exclusively through the living room television anymore. Tablets and smartphones grow in popularity as online streaming services develop apps that allow us to watch our favorite shows and movies on the go. A CNET study discovered that “real-time entertainment” like streaming videos from Netflix or Hulu consists of nearly 66 percent. That means more than half of all Internet consumption is some sort of video entertainment—a huge number when you think about the scale of the Web, and mobile streaming is only becoming a larger part of the picture.

Backblaze Launches Mobile App for iPhone

September 25, 2022May 23, 2013 by Paul Salmon

I have been a fan of Backblaze since I started using them to backup my data to the cloud. I find their service affordable ($5/month) for unlimited data backup, easy to use, and secure. The one thing that has been missing was a way to access my files from a mobile device. I use an iPad on a regular basis, so having access to my files on Backblaze from my iPad would be a huge benefit. The good news is that Backblaze has released a mobile app for the iPhone that will also work on my iPad.

I haven’t installed the app yet, but I will soon, but from what I can tell it does have some cool features.

Three Reasons Why Your Next Upgrade Should Be An SSD

February 26, 2016May 23, 2013 by Guest Blogger

When our beloved computers start to give us grief by slowing down and struggle to perform the simplest of tasks, many of us have traditionally resigned to the fact that we need to buy a new machine. That was until Solid-state Hard Drives (SSDs) came around. You see, the storage inside our computers is often overlooked and taken for granted. As Dong Ngo from CNET puts it, “How many times have we asked ourselves where that Web page we’re viewing (like this one), the movie we’re watching, the song we’re listening to is stored, or even how the iPhone remembers to wake us up at 7 a.m every day?”

Still Using 90’s Internet Technology?

August 16, 2013May 22, 2013 by Paul Salmon

When internet usage became common in the late 1990s, the lack of speed was not regarded as such an issue. The whole concept of the world wide web seemed so magical at the time that an image sometimes taking minutes to appear was easy enough to bear. That view quickly changed, not surprisingly, as the Internet evolved and internet broadband began to appear.

Nowadays, a high speed internet connection is considered, by many, to be as essential a part of their life as electricity and water is. An area that lacks good broadband internet access will often be seen as a blackhole. Because, broadband itself is not always enough – and that’s becoming more the case as increasingly fast speeds are possible.
