We talked about backing up our vital data more than once, and we won’t ever stop, because there will always be someone still not doing it right or, even worse, not doing it at all! Unfortunately, most people figure out how important data backup is the hard way, and the ones using excuses usually claim [...]

Some say mankind is lost, and if you look around, you may be tempted to agree. Fortunately, there are a lot things worth fighting for, and of them is history. Since we should be talking about computers and Internet here, it’s about the history of these domains, obviously. Founded back in late 1994 by David [...]

These last few days I’ve been out of town, trying to meet with some people in the city I was born and spent my teenage years. Unfortunately, we’re no longer teenagers, and synchronization was a really big problem. Well, I must admit people can’t find time to spare easily starting somewhere in their late 20s, [...]
