Have you ever heard about cloud computing? If not, you will get familiar with it very soon. It’s the new hype on the web, and basically takes us back to the old times with only a few large computers. The difference now is that “everyone” has access to them.
One of the services that is based on this is icloud.com
They give you 3 GB of storage and your own desktop online, so you can access your desktop anywhere anytime without dragging your laptop around.
You also get:
- 50 free applications
- a public profile
- a free email
- and much more
iCloud currently support Internet Explorer and Firefox, and if you want to try it out, go to their website today and register for free. A activation email will be sent to your email address shortly after you have registered and you may then log-in with your user name and password.
AVG has released a new version of their antivirus software. AVG is considered one of the best antivirus programs on the marked, and offers good protection while not occupying a lot of the system resources.
One of the most exiting news are the Identity Theft Protection.
Identity Theft Protection prevents new and unknown threats from stealing your personal information like bank and credit card details.
“Traditional” viruses and spyware keep on growing – every day we see tens of thousands of new examples in our labs. And online criminals are getting smarter– they keep inventing types of threat that have never been seen before, usually aimed at stealing your bank account, credit card details or other personal information, so we’ve developed an extra layer of identity theft protection that sits on top of traditional antivirus and antispyware software. It looks for changes in your PC’s behavior that are caused by new threats – and then stops them in their tracks.
AVG is available in both a free version and pay version where you got a more complete security package for your computer. It should also be mentioned that AVG is compatible with Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.
I’ve used a lot of tools to keep track of my tasks, but none have been a perfect match for my needs.
Todoist.com was the answer to my prays. It’s very easy in use and got some nice plug-ins, among them one to connect it with your Gmail account and a FireFox sidebar.
It’s easy to edit existing tasks, add new and to go back and look at your history. One thing I discovered it was very handy for was making a packing list when going on holiday. My girlfriend kept nagging me, remember this, remember that. But I just used my todoist and she was very surprised that i remembered everything.
And best of all, it’s free. Keep track of your todolist, check out Todoist.com.
