An interesting perspective on data farming.

As you may know, Mozy online backup has been purchased by Carbonite who will be ending support on April 15th. Carbonite have no free backup option and seem to be geared more for corporate customers. IDrive has a 5 GB free option (Mozy's free quota was 2 GB) and a very inexpensive paid option if that's not enough storage. If you want to check out IDrive follow this link: https://www.idrive.com/p=irwincompu . I'm available to assist anyone wanting to migrate to IDrive to keep their data secure in the event of a disaster.

Here's a tip I just discovered for those of you using the Chrome web browser. You probably know that they added an icon in the tabs so that you know which tab is playing sound (see illustration). That’s really nice, and very helpful when some site suddenly starts playing noise, usually from an irritating auto-playing video. You can now right-click that little icon (even if it’s not the in-use tab) and, on the fly-out menu, you’ll see Mute Site as one of the options. Not mute video or mute tab but mute the site it remembers your selection for each domain so that they can’t blast you with sound in the future. Want to hear the sound later? Just right-click it again and unmute.

Although this is for the U.S. its advice is valid for Canada. --- Caller ID Falsification...Continue reading
