Those who tend to be on the road a lot or frequently see that “low battery” warning on their mobile device can understand the inconvenience of a dead battery. In today’s world, our smartphones have become an extension of our lives, allowing us to connect with friends, check the local news, or even see if stormy weather is incoming. Although electricity is all around us, it can be difficult to find time to wait for our phones to charge. My Galaxy S3 can take a few hours to recharge from a dead battery and phones with larger batteries can experience…

Recently, I announced that Paragon-Software would be releasing a free preview edition of their newest hard drive software, HDM 15. Following this recent announcement, the software based company is at it again with a new beta testing program to try and report feedback on their new and upcoming Boot Camp Backup solution. Search the web for a quality program to create Windows backups while in a Mac OS X Boot Camp setup, and you’ll find nothing. Noticing this, Paragon-Software has just released the solution to this puzzling problem. Boot Camp is a multi-boot utility that is included with Apple based…
Locked and loaded! You enter the battlefield with your M16 assault rifle, M9 pistol ready for battle, but wait…what was that noise; a grenade perhaps? The engine roars in front of you while you race the 2014 BMW M4 and you suddenly hear a loud crash behind you. You’re in a maze, its dark with a lit door on the other side of the room. All around you, you begin to hear the walls slowly approach you, closing the box, so it may be time to start running for the door. These three examples are situations that gamers face throughout…
Alongside the large assortment of cat videos found on YouTube, there appears to be an increasing number of driving videos making their way to the video sharing website. With many of these uploads coming from places like China and Russia, you can find videos showing accidents, falling asteroids, bad drivers, people who inflict self-damage against a car, and much more. If you have ever been in a car accident, you may have experienced the situation of the person at fault attempting to lie their way out, claiming that YOU were at fault. With accidents mostly being a two person event,…
In a previous Logitech mouse review, I briefly mentioned how computer mice are some of the most robust accessories that we use and own. Surprisingly, given their operation and the amount of usage a mouse receives it’s amazing that it can withstand the test of time. Having to deal with millions of clicks, thousands of webpages scrolled through, and miles of distance traveled over a mouse pad, it’s surprising that we don’t need to replace them every year. I am a user that fits that claim quite well. Since it first came out many years ago, I have been using…
If I were to create a poll asking random people if they preferred a Lamborghini Aventador over a Ford Taurus, there is a strong chance most people would choose the Lamborghini. So why is that? As humans, we tend to engineer everything to a better standard than the previous generation. In our complex minds, we seem to believe that the more power and more speed a certain object has, the better it is. We wouldn’t be wrong for thinking that, as the Lamborghini has a zero to sixty time of just 2.9 seconds whereas the Ford takes 6.6 seconds. These…
If you’re anything like myself, before making a purchase for some types of computer software, you scour the web for reviews, free alternatives, or read through comments to find out if this software will fit your needs. Fairly recently, the popular software-based company, Paragon-Software, has been hard at work offering a premium service to their loyal customers. By providing free editions of their older Windows and Macintosh software, Paragon-Software has allowed users who don’t mind, to use older software to fix their current problem.

It doesn’t matter if you’re an Intel or AMD user and it doesn’t matter if you like mATX or ATX computer cases. When it comes down to the basics of keeping your computer cooled and in working order, air cooling is the superior challenger that gets the job done. Since the beginning of computing, novices, enthusiasts, and professionals have been using air to cool the hardware components of the computer.

Ever lose a flash drive? Ever have important data stolen from you? Are you a victim of identity theft?

Microsoft, yesterday, held their San Francisco event that will unveil the newest and latest version of Windows. In a surprise to all, Microsoft will dub the new Windows, ‘Windows’ or ‘Windows 10’; skipping over the expected Windows 9 codename. Terry Myerson, VP of operating systems at Microsoft, said it well in stating that it is a substantial leap to skip the Windows 9 branding. “Windows 10 will run on the broadest amount of devices. A tailored experience for each device,” Myerson said. “There will be one way to write a universal application, one store, one way for apps to be…
