How To Select a Virtual Server Backup Product?
March 8, 2011 By 7 Comments

The Kinnect and Windows Phone 7 show that innovation and creativity is alive and well in Redmond!

I’ve recently switched to a new method that uses cloud storage service, Dropbox, and am thrilled with the result. Read on for my document synchronization formula!

Benchmarking the 2011 13″ Core i5 MacBook Pro
March 2, 2011 By 3 Comments
As I mentioned in my previous article, I decided to buy the 13″ Core i5 (base model) MacBook Pro. It meets my needs as a travel workstation, but how does it perform? I decided to benchmark it against my other Macs to see how it stands up.
