BitCasa just killed the hard drive (jaw-dropping)

BitCasa just killed the hard drive (jaw-dropping)

What is BitCasa?

Bitcasa-Logo-GreenIts an application that enables an online virtual drive on your computer  that works the same way an external hard drive connected to your computer would but with steroids. It adds all the benefits of having all the information you put on this drive securely backed up online and available to access it from any device you have (PC, MAC, Tablet, Smartphone) no matter in which part of the world you are. You can choose to move, copy or mirror folders you have on your computer to the BitCasa drive and if you choose to move them, those files wont take space on your computer.

BitCasa explained by Tony Gauda, CEO and Co-founder

When I heard for the first time Tony Gauda´s statement “We are killing the hard drive” it immediately got my attention. (more…)

8 Reasons why Apple should support a mouse on the iPad

8 Reasons why Apple should support a mouse on the iPad

iPad-MouseThe following is a list of reasons on why Apple should support the use of a mouse on the iPad.

1) I already do a lot of things with the iPad. Several other things I wish to be able to do them with the iPad but I cant because using touchpad for them is really a pain.

2) Its really complicated to select a cell on an Excel sheet. OK, not Excel but any other spreadsheet App. I don’t want to zoom in to be able to correctly select the cell I want.

3) Using an RDP (Remote Desktop) or TeamViewer session with the touch interface is not comfortable at all. In the end you are trying to control a remote computer designed to work with a mouse, without it.  (more…)

18 features the ideal online storage service should have

18 features the ideal online storage service should have

Cloud StorageFrom month to month I check several cloud storage services like Dropbox and Google Drive. I test them and check about any new functionality their developers might add. But still, there is not one service on the market that really rules.

Companies like the two mentioned on the previous paragraph might be more well known than others but still they are missing several features and flexibility.

The following is a list of must have´s for a cloud storage service to really lead the market:

1 – Not everything in one folder:
I have several hard drives con my computers and work on a certain way with them. I don’t want to change the way I work to be able to use a service. Dropbox works very well but having to put everything into one folder really makes me sick.

Stop Candy Crush Saga from annoying your friends Facebook timeline

Stop Candy Crush Saga from annoying your friends Facebook timeline

Please_Stop_Candy_Crush_SagaI have a lot of friends who play Candy Crush Saga on Facebook. I really don’t play much anything and it is starting to be irritating to have a lot of automatic posts in my Facebook timeline about how my friends are doing with their game progress.

I don’t blame them, they probably don’t know that this is happening or maybe they totally ignore these messages as most of them are fans of the game 🙂

I prepared this short message you can share on your Facebook timeline so that your friends can disable the auto post functionality by Candy Crush Saga. A lot of your friends will really thank you:

28 Must have FREE applications on your new Windows PC

28 Must have FREE applications on your new Windows PC

freeI usually help a lot of friends and family with their computer problems and doubts, I also help them to decide which computer, peripheral or accessories to buy when the opportunity arrives.

One of the most frequent questions I receive is, OK, I have my new computer, and now what?

I personally like to configure things a certain way, install certain applications that will allow me to do almost anything I will need to do with the computer. So whenever a friend asks for help I try to commit the same way with them as if it was my own computer.

The following is a list of most of the tools I will install on a freshly installed computer (assuming nothing of this is already installed on it). (more…)

Facebook chronological order of pictures in albums

Facebook chronological order of pictures in albums

Hi there! Just wanted to share with you a request I´ve just submitted to Facebook.

Hi, I´ve been adding a lot of pictures from my life. I´ve added the date or the year the picture was taken. As I find more pictures I add them, but the problem is that then they are all mixed up in the album. I am a baby on the first picture and the second one maybe is when I was 30.

I know I could arrange all the pictures by dragging and dropping the albums but when you have a lot of pictures it really takes a lot of time.
It would be great if you could implement a “Sort” button, allowing us to click there and make sure all the pictures we add are shown according to the date we defined in chronological order. Basically the same thing Facebook already does with the Timeline itself but for albums.
Thanks in advance for taking in consideration this update.

What do you think of this request? Should they implement it? Please share your comments below.
