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 [...]

One of the things I love about the evolution of Internet is that everything became cheaper in the last years, and services that were really expensive a decade ago can be used for free today.

I don’t have any statistics at my disposal, but you [...]

In an ideal world, every product would get lifetime warranty, and you wouldn’t have to keep the packaging until it expires. Unfortunately, we’re not living in such a world, and you have to track all those papers and boxes for a lot of time, “just in case,” because you never now when something may break [...]
