If your one of those Logmein users be ready for the not so free LogmeIn service. Not only did they cancel everyone's free subscriptions. But they gave current user's seven day notice to upgrade or loose remote login privileges. So sad to say good bye, you will be missed.

Tossing Tax Returns
Worried about an IRS audit? Well this advice from Kiplinger may just put your fears to rest. It's been know that if the IRS does not initiate an audit, three years after the date of return.
So if you failed to file or record anything, you could get away with it, but the other reason's not to toss a tax return has to do with social security benefits, depreciation on home office, rental and business equipment, home mortgage and disability insurance. It can also maybe one day back you up from identity theft.
If you need to re-order tax returns from the IRS, you can do so using form 4506 at a current cost of $57- each. You decide if you want to keep them or not.

802.11ac
Looking for the newest router in town? Well the 802.11ac is out but I would buy it just yet, until everything is finalized. The new 802.11ac is in pre-draft mode and if everyone remembered a few years ago when 802.11n was available. There were a lot of problems with computers connecting with the pre-draft version. You could expect it soon in 2014.

Wanting to rescue your Windows 8 computer now that it's infected. Well unless you have a secure boot software, it's going to be hard to rescue your computer. Secure boot new technology will not let rescue disks, live boot and live usb work unless they have been verified by Microsoft.
They say it's the only way manufactures can stop viruses and illegal copies of the software, go figure?

Win 7 credentials error
I've seen this a few time and I hope Microsoft addresses this very soon. It's the Windows 7 credentials error when signing in to a network server. It looks like the computer looses it's identity and you either have to re-join the computer back on to the network or reset the computer in active directory.
