Sadly, burglaries and home invasions have become commonplace in recent years, and the problem seems to be getting worse instead of better.

Several major companies have been providing homeowners with home security hardware and monitoring services for decades, but the solutions they offer tend to be on the expensive side.

What’s more, most of them require professional installation.

A while back I started seeing advertisements for SimpliSafe, a “Do-It-Yourself” security system that doesn’t require professional installation. I decided to check them out, and for the most part I was quite impressed. This is what I learned… [Read more…]

Modern computer hardware is generally more reliable than what we had back in the early days of personal computing, but users still frequently lose irreplaceable data due to hardware failures.

There are many reasons for data loss that range all the way from the simple failure of a hard drive to catastrophic events such as lightning strikes and fire damage.

This all boils down to one conclusion: If you have photos, videos, Office documents and/or other irreplaceable files stored on your computer’s hard drive, you need to back it up ASAP and make additional backups as you add more files.  [Read more…]
