All about speed, eh? Well, the quickest and easiest way to get to your Windows Task Manager is simply to right-clickan empty area of your Task Bar and choose "Start Task Manager". Ta-da! An instant view of what your system is doing! Of course, there are some that would argue that Ctrl+Shift+Esc is even faster, but I'll leave that up to you to decide. ~Andrew Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version Fact: No Matter What, Your Hard Drive Will Eventually Crash...

No Drivers - No Setup - Just 100% Plug & Play Backups! 256 Bit Password Protection - Multiple Computer Support! ALREADY OVER 1 MILLION SOLD - THAT'S JUST THE BEGINNING! You've GOTTA See This Video! A Sad Fact, But a True One.... Hard drives are sensitive, complex mechanical devices. No matter what, 100% of the time, they will eventually fail - causing a crash. This can be a disaster. What will you do when this happens? Sure, you can pull out your program CD's (like your Windows program) and reinstall your operating system. But what about ALL OF YOUR DATA? You know, pictures, videos, files, settings...the list goes on and on. If your system crashes, I've got news for you: that stuff is gone for good! Now consider this: there's hundreds of millions of computer users out there, and 80% of them do NOT back their files up. Why? Because until now, backing everything up was a long and complicated process. You'd have to find specific things to back up, deal with directories, file extensions, etc. IF you were able to figure it out, there's no way you'd have the time to back up every single thing. I mean...you've gotta sleep sometime, right? These problems are over for good! We've found an automatic backup drive that does ALL of that work for you! Did I mention it's automatic? Oh...well guess what? IT'S ALL AUTOMATIC! The ClickFree Solid State Automatic Backup Drive is here! NO software. NO set up. NO time consuming steps.

Do you know if this is true? If so, can you tell me how? Thanks! Gmail is the fastest growing choice for email, and its rapid development has attracted an ever-growing number of users. However, with this rise in usage, the number of different types of mails we receive has increased too. There are various mails like newsletters, deals and offers, chat and Facebook notifications and what not. With so many different categories filling up our inbox, it's extremely crucial that we have a management strategy for our emails to prevent important ones from getting lost in the clutter. Using Gmail Filters to Categorize Emails Filters are an amazing way to take control of your incoming mails in Gmail. With filters, you can sort mail into different folders as and when they arrive. This sorting is done automatically, and creating a filter is just a one-time process. Before we go ahead with the sorting, it is extremely important to formulate a strategy for dividing mails into categories. Let us consider a scenario: I am an active social media user and blogger – I read newsletters, and I am subscribed to deals for my city. Therefore, my probable labels are Social Media, Blog comments, Newsletters and Deals. Now that you have decided on your label names, it is time to create them. I am using the new look on Gmail, which has the feature of creating filters without going to the settings page at all. Step 1: Select some of the mails you want to filter into one label and select "Filter messages like these" from the drop-down menu. Step 2: Test a search with the filters as applied by you, and make sure no irrelevant results get through. Now, we are ready to create a filter using this search. Click on the link saying, "Create a filter with this search". Step 3: Now that we have a number of emails matching this search, we will decide what to do with them. If you already have a label suitable for these emails, then simply create the filter. Or else, click on "Choose a label" as shown. Step 4: If you click on choose a label, it will show you the following list. Click on "New label…" and a window will appear asking you to enter the name of the label. As you can see, I am naming my label DB Backup. Step 5: Select the checkbox beside the "Create a filter" button that says, "Also apply filter to (n) matching conversations". Click on "Create a filter" and we are done.

Sending Email in OpenOffice Everyone has at one time or another needed to send a file that's currently being edited to someone in an e-mail. What did you do? Did you save the file, start a new message, attach the file (which we all know involves a couple of steps too) and then save it? If you could get OpenOffice.org to do most of that work for you would you want to know how? Of course you'd want to know… who wouldn't? Read the rest at Worldstart!

The Scale of the Universe 2 I remember being blown away when I brought you the visual cell size scale, but now I've discovered The Scale of the Universe 2! When you arrive at the site, you'll notice the instructions are right on the main page. You'll use the slide bar to zoom in an out, and then you can click on objects to learn more about them. Click the black start button to begin your exploration of the universe. The first thing I noticed was that there is nice background sound to the application, but if you are at work, you'll want to click the music notes in the top right corner to turn off the sound. Now while your navigating the universe, I noticed that I can also use my mouse wheel to zoom in and out. I found that was way easier than moving the slider bar. The other thing I noticed – probably because I love sparkle – is that when you get zoomed way out into the universe and are looking at nebulas – they sparkle! I found I wanted to click them and learn more about them. And when you zoom in to the universe past what you can see with the naked eye, the rays are animated. I like little touches like that because they're unexpected and make the interface more fun to use. I think you're ready to go explore the universe!
