What, not surprised? Yeah, I didn't think so… Cynicism aside, Google announced on Tuesday it would be joining the expanding world of cloud computing with "Google Drive." The new service will provide its users with 5GB of free cloud storage with the option of purchasing more at a monthly fee. This will also expand on the already existing Google Cloud, which lets users store documents and email. The purpose, like most cloud drives, is to allow users to store, share, and easily transfer larger files. According to Google, users can pay $2.50 a month of a 25GB storage upgrade. The service will also be accessible through both PC's and Macs as well as an Android app. An app for iOS devices is promised for the near future. Google is also getting a bit of criticism for joining the cloud drive game so late. Apple has had iCloud available since last June while Microsoft, Dropbox, and Amazon have had a strong presence as well. Facebook Is Concerned About Your Security (I Guess?) Facebook, who recently released that it's reached 900 million users this past week, is now making it known how serious they are in keeping its users safe online. They announced on Wednesday that they are teaming up with McAfee, Microsoft, Symantec, and others to help combat the threat of spam, viruses, and malicious URLs. Facebook has created a URL blacklist system that scans trillions of clicks per day. The new partnership allows the social network to combine their database of malicious URLs with the databases of the security companies. Facebook has also introduced AV Marketplace. This allows users to download a 6-month license for full antivirus protection from one of the new partners. The best part? It's free of charge. You can also "Like" Facebook's security page to get regular security updates. ~Mike Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

Bob from FL writes: The PC I have now is 9 years old. I am getting a new one within the next few months. Are there any advantages or disadvantages to getting one with dual hard drives. Can there be more headaches by doing this? Hello, Bob, and thanks for the question. Actually, having dual hard drives can SAVE you a considerable amount of headaches. Most computers that I've seen over the last several years have the two drives set up in "RAID" configuration – or "redundant array of independent discs". That means that whatever you save to one drive automatically saves to the other. That means NO MORE BACKUP! Everything that you have is automatically backed up. Of course, it only backs up your data, not stuff like your computer's configuration or Windows save state, which Window's built-in backup does. I would love to give you step by step instructions here for setting RAID up on your computer, but there are an amazing number of variables involved. So I would say that if your computer isn't already set up in RAID configuration (your seller should be able to tell you) then bring it to your friendly neighborhood computer repair guy or gal to do it for you. If you choose not to set RAID up on your computer, then another use for dual hard drives is to use one to store your programs and one to store your documents. This will make your programs run faster, to one degree or another, because your computer doesn't have to look through so much code to find what it's looking for when it's executing a program. So I guess that the short answer to your question is "Providing that your computer doesn't suffer simultaneous catastrophic failure of both hard drives, then there are no headaches that I can think of to having dual drives." I hope that this helps. ~Randal Schaffer Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Do you have a question for us? Ask it here!
All About Siri You may not believe it, but the iPhone 4S comes equipped with a personal assistant. Its name is Siri, and your wish is literally its command.

Typing is done by tapping onscreen characters with the mouse. To create the shortcut, right click on an empty spot on the desktop. From the menu, select New and Shortcut. Read the rest here!

Wait...Isn't WiFi Supposed to be FAST? And What's With Your Range? You Mean You Have to be RIGHT Next to it For Service? NEVER. AGAIN! Say Hello to a 150Mbps Lan Adapter With a 5dBi Antenna! WICKED FAST SPEED - AMAZING RANGE! Connect up to 900 Feet Away - Without Losing Speed! This Is The Answer You've Been Dreamin' About! A 5 dBi Antenna is RIDICULOUSLY POWERFUL! Unbelievable Price! Just $20.97!!
A FRUSTRATING Story... So you just set up your new wireless router at home so you can enjoy wireless anywhere in the house. There's only one problem... "anywhere" isn't quite right, is it? What always seems to happen? There's the one spot in your home that you enjoy relaxing and browsing the Internet...but that seems to be the spot where you just can't get quite enough signal. It's just a little too slow and too weak. My one question to you is - Why should you have to put up with that slow, weak, crappy internet connection? Huh?? Or - how about when you're at a hotel that brags about having "wireless internet"? Yeah, we've all been there - they ALWAYS seem to stick you in a room that's juuusssst out of reach of that wonderful "wireless internet" they claim to have. So, what if there was an ANTENNA you could plug into your laptop or desktop computer that would give a little extra coverage that your lookin' for?? Well, we found one! This blazin' fast Dynamode 150Mbps 802.11n adapter with a 5dBi antenna...is gonna give your signal that extra ump that it needs...AND THEN SOME! Most "top of the line" lan adaptors you see have a 3dBi antenna. Are they nice? Yep. So imagine the power of a 5dBi antenna! So - last weekend I took the family to one of my favorite hotel resorts and decided to bring this bad boy along. I had my laptop in my hotel room and was only gettin' between 1 and 2 bars. I plugged this little sucker in and WA-POW....I had 4 bars!!! Talk about a boost!!! I'm always bringing this little guy everywhere my laptop goes from now on!!!! This surfin' is smokin fast too!! In the bad old days (like last month), if you had an 802.11g adapter, you'd be stuck cruising along at 54Mbps - this does a whoppin' 150Mbps! You don't even need to know that Mbps means Mega Bits Per Second to see it's nearly double the speed! Setup is super easy too - it's just a wireless USB internet adapter with a powerful antenna, so just plug it into your computer, run the software, and a few minutes later you're surfing! You can be up to 984 feet away and STILL pull in a good signal! Now THAT'S impressive!! Bottom line - if you are sick and tired of weak WiFi signals and surfing the net at super-slow speeds, it's time to upgrade to the Lamborghini of LAN adapters!!! Your price? Just $20.97 and US shipping is FREE! Heck, you can't buy a standard wireless internet adapter from the big box stores for that kind of money, let alone one with extra coverage at insanely fast speeds!!!! http://store.worldstart.com/product/7297
