Does leaving it plugged in all the time wear it out quicker, or should I be plugging it in only when I need to copy something to it? This is great question, Bob – especially since we've all been conditioned from the days of mechanical hard drives that the longer a mechanical device is running, the shorter its remaining lifespan is. The good news is this isn't true for flash drives, as the wear and tear comes from when data is being written to or read off of the device, not sitting idle. One reason that it might be a good idea to disconnect the drive is in the event of electrical surge. If a surge is powerful enough to damage the components inside of your computer, it may also damage anything connected to the computer at the time. If your hard drive is fried in a lightning strike and your flash drive goes with it, you may have no backup left. ~Tim Click here to rate this tip | Printer friendly version

The Three Guarantees in Life: Death, Taxes, and Hard Drive Crashes! 80% of People Don't Back up Their Files... 100% of Hard Drives Eventually Crash! THE CLICKFREE 16GB BACK-UP DRIVE IS AUTOMATIC! The EASIEST Back-Up System in the World! 16GB - Automatic Back-Ups - USB 2.0 - Durable Aluminum Body! CLICKFREE IS THE EASIEST BACKUP SYSTEM IN THE WORLD! 100% Plug & Play Automatic Backups! 256 Bit Password Protection - Multiple Computer Support! EVEN COMES WITH A WALLET SIZED CARRY CASE!
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 Automatic Backup Hard Drive is here! NO software. NO set up. NO time consuming steps. All you have to do is PLUG IT IN and it AUTOMATICALLY finds, scans and saves ALL of your files. It's a MASSIVE 16gb of AUTOMATIC back-up space! Think about everything you keep on your computer: TONS of photos. Your ENTIRE music collection. Work documents, important files and sensitive information. And don't forget about those vacation and family gathering videos. You've gotta back that stuff up! EXTREMELY user friendly: it'll even categorize your music, pictures, videos and documents into separate areas for maximum organization! Oh, and it works on multiple computers - you've gotta check this thing out! Ultra Durable Aluminum Construction WITH a Wallet Sized Carry Case... It's Just the Size of a Credit Card! Have you noticed that all of the high end computer manufacturers are using aluminum these days? Take Apple, for example, with their MacBook series. That's because aluminum is durable and will protect the sensitive internal parts while keeping them cool. This back-up drive is made from that same aluminum, and you'll notice the quality right away. It's as thin and small as a credit card, but UNBELIVEABLY strong and durable! Take it everywhere without worry: it comes with a high quality wallet style carry case! Stick it in the case and you'll be carrying around your automatic back-up system in comfort, with full protection! If You Think it's Hard or Time Consuming - YOU'RE WRONG! Seriously, this thing couldn't be any easier to use: EVERYTHING IS AUTOMATIC! All you have to do is pop it into your USB port and let it do it's thing. As soon as it's done, you'll be presented with ALL of your files, backed up and organized! And there's a TON of cool features on this thing, too. Check this out: Easy Viewer: open this up, and you can view ALL of your saved files the same way they were saved. You'll know exactly what you're looking at and exactly where it is! Easy Music: This is COMPLETELY iTunes compatible! Take your iPhone, iPod or iPad, and this copies ALL of your media, backs it up, and automatically places it in your iTunes library!

How can I create non-repeated numbers between 100 and 300 in Excel? Hi, Ashkan. Thanks for the great question. What you're talking about here is creating a "unique series" – and there's actually a pretty easy way to do it. You didn't specify any parameters in your query, so I'm guessing that you're just talking about a series by ones (100, 101, 102…298, 299, 300) right? So what you do is enter the numeral 100 at cell 1A. Then, in cell 2A enter "=a1+1″ without the quotes. This will give you the numeral 102 in cell A2. (Want these tips in their entirety?

Tom from CA asks: When saving a picture, Windows always calls it a bitmap. How can I change it so it saves as a jpeg? The real question here isn't how your computer is SAVING the picture, rather in what format the picture was UPLOADED. Many times, website creators will use .bmp rather than .jpg or .jpeg, simply because the quality of the picture is higher. A bitmap (.bmp) is an uncompressed photo, whereas a jpeg is a compressed format, which means some quality sacrifice. It may not be obvious to the naked eye, but it IS there. Your best bet is to save a picture like this in its original format and then use a photo editing program to save it in whatever your preferred format is. I like jpeg because, although it takes up less space than .bmp, it is still a good quality image. Here's a .bmp of a mandrill that I found through Google images. Read the rest over at Worldstart!

So you're trying out a lapdesk. This is a sensitive concept that, when not engineered the correct way, can yield horrendous results. You took a chance, and it blew up in your face: that thing sucks! It sits flat, isn't adjustable, and it makes your laptop fans work extra hard - and it's getting HOT. It's also bulky and heavy. You feel absolutely ridiculous carrying that ugly chunk of cheap plastic around. You've just wasted your money. Actually, you traded your cash for a sore, stiff back and sore wrists from trying to use this piece of junk. You've given up. You're out of options.

Heat Dispersing Aluminum Top! Fans? FORGET ABOUT 'EM! The designers of this thing used technology to their advantage! See, when your laptop gets hot, it starts and ends with the bottom.
