Warning: Snapchat images can easily be saved and shared
Snapchat has quickly become one of the most popular social networking sites on the web thanks to its “disappearing photos” feature, and it is especially popular among teenagers.

Well, that changed a while back when the prices of 2TB SSDs dropped like a rock.

Do you run a WordPress blog?
If so, you’ve probably spent a lot of time thinking about what would happen if your blog got hacked or your server’s hard drive crashed?
I know I have, and it isn’t a very pleasant thing to think about.
