Facebook who view my page

I always wondered about this with Facebook and here is the results on who view my page. As per Facebook, they do not track who views you. And as for third party software telling you they do this. Well it can only occur if they add this application to your account and I if you do so, you might be risking more than you bargain for. So take control of your privacy and don't be fooled with third party add on's.

Reset a Computer

A while back I talked about resetting a computer back to clean slate (Deep Freeze) and it's still a great option for public computers but the software was eventually discontinued for new versions of Windows.
Now Reboot Restore Rx is following Deep Freeze footsteps and taking it further in Windows 7 and 8 version. But it comes with a premium price that's reasonable for now for public machines.
Steadier State is another option to take but it only works for now on Windows 7.

Logo Designs

Looking for a new logo or starting fresh and need a logo. This is a new logo design and concept in which you  ask developers a few questions with the current business your in and they design a logo for you within minutes. If you like the logo all you have to do is pay a fee and own the the logo rights.
You can also hold off and see how long other developers take your logo to the next level.
Great idea, good designs and at a reasonable price for lifetime ownership. Give it a try.

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.

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.
