Windows Experience Index

Looking for the Windows Experience Index and wonder if Windows 8 still has it. Well it's unfortunate that Microsoft removed this utility, I guess user's were not truly interested to see if their computer performance was at it's peak because the benchmark was not that accurate.
Regardless if your still interested in getting these stats from your computer, you now can download it for Windows 8 and benchmark your new computers performance.

Hard Copy Backups

Today's new digital world brings new technology and new ways of doing things when to compared to just a few years ago. Now I love technology but what would happen if one day everyone was hit with a virus and all our online data information was lost. Sure we have our cloud backup to save us from disaster. But if that failed, how can you prove that you own what you own and you have what you currently have. It might seem like a pilot for a new movie, but it's not.
Today we live in a society where it's alright to get paperless statements from the same guys that recently caused our economy melt down. Are you risking your entire life savings or existence on these guys, again?
My deep thinking is not to scare off people from the new technological age but to make them aware that it's not a bad idea to keep a hard copy of bank statements, mortgage payments, car payments, investment summary, etc. on hand. You never know when your going to need them or when they would one day be useful.
Identity theft is a may concern why many people go paperless. But in reality, your making it way to easy for someone to erase you from society should we ever have a technological melt down.
My advice to others is to make several backups of your financial information, have hard copies of bills and year to date balances. And don't ever take for granted on how far we have come in the technological era.

Microsoft bets on XP Disaster

It's sad that this big software giant is going this way because it just showing how little they valve the product that they sell. Ending XP earlier and pushing new software on it's current customer will irritate many. Microsoft years of being the best on the block is over and if they're smart, they would do whatever it takes to keep it's current customers. It's only a matter of time before another software company takes over. Maybe Microsoft should start looking for new ways to make money and stop killing something that still works.
But in the end what this means is that April 8, 2014 is that last days for XP.

Online Backup Reviewed

Here's the review for online backup. It's not bashing other vendors but it gives you the results of the best feature that they currently offer when compared to other online backup companies.

1- CrashPlan - it's not number one because it's great, but if you consider pricing important. Then CrashPlan would be your first option on savings.
2- Carbonite it's still in work in process if you don't mind slow uploads and bandwidth throttling speeds.
3- Mozy use to be very popular a few years back, but that all changed when it dropped it's unlimited plans and started a tiered plan in early 2011.
4-SOS Online Backup, it's not the cheapest when compared to apples and oranges. But it has a continuous data backup feature that backups a new version, the instant a file is changed, not seen elsewhere.
5-Linedrive is the military grade AES-256 program with competitive pricing.
6- Bitcasa are making small but important movements and in time I hope that they will be better.
7- Backblaze - if your worried about complicated or confusing online backup, this company will take that fear away.
8- SpiderOak - it's a unique refer a friend program that can get you 12 GB free.
9- SugarSync - if you want more than an online repository for safety, you'll like this one.
10- Acronis True Image Online - you can backup 5 computer images online with one account.
