Where Does Data Go When a Hard Drive Dies?

IT DISAPPEARS - FOREVER!

Don't Have a Backup?

Then You Won't Have Your Data Ever Again - It's THAT Simple!

WorldStart's Got The Program To Make Backups EASY!

COMPLETELY AUTOMATIC BACKUPS!

No Hassles, No Complicated Steps!

Full Restores - Partial Restores - Whatever You Need!

Compress, Repair, And Catalog Backups Automatically!

You'll NEVER Worry About Crashes Again!


There's Two Kinds Of People...

Those who keep backups... and those that will wish they had!

Which one are you?

MILLIONS of people suffer hard drive crashes every year. Add on to that all the viruses and malware. Don't forget user error too, sometimes we delete stuff not realizing how important it was until it's too late!

What do you keep on YOUR computer? Software? Music? Videos? Photos?

You can't replace a family photo!

Rebuying your music would require a second mortgage!

All that software you learned and configured... it's even MORE expensive to replace!

It's too much for ANYONE to handle losing forever!

But look, I get it. Keeping backups is annoying. If you tried it before, by week 45 of pressing the button to backup your data AGAIN, you probably started going "Why bother?"

THAT'S WHY THIS SOFTWARE IS SO MUCH BETTER!

Easy & Painless Backups - Schedule It And FORGET IT!

TurboBackup takes ALL the "work" outta keeping your system backed up!

Scheduling your backups takes only a few minutes at MOST (depending on how much you wanna backup) and it lets you set them to constantly backup automatically!

Look at the screenshot below - there's TONS of options to get the automatic backups that you NEED!

And that's just the tip of the iceberg!

There may be a lot of backup solutions out there, but nothing comes close to how thorough and flexible this one is!

Everything can be done with The Wizard! If you've used any of the default Windows programs, you're probably familiar with "wizards." They walk you through each step with simple selections and easy to understand language. It gives you full control without requiring a computer science degree!

TurboBackup 9.1 gives you the best of both worlds: It's easy as pie for the average user, but it has a great amount of depth for those special backup needs!

For instance, it allows you to backup to pretty much whatever media you want!

Trust me, this is SO useful!

The interface is just a simple selection one too! My kids are using this for their backups now! There's no tech jargon here, just simple point and click selections!

Most people will probably stick to the top three, but it never hurts to have options!

And really, this selection is great! Backups are nice to have on an external hard drive, but stuff like family photos and music are so much nicer on a flash drive! That way you can move 'em around in addition to making sure they stay safe from crashes!

Increment Your Backups!

A lot of backup software out there, particularly the automatic ones, limit you to just ONE backup file that keeps getting overwritten every time you do it! Sure, in most cases that might not effect you much, but what if your automatic backups happened a few times after you deleted something important?

Now you can't get it back - what's the POINT of the backup then?!

TurboBackup lets you catalog your history of backups! So now if you accidentally delete something, THEN back up your computer... you didn't lose it! Don't fret!

You can just go back to the incremental backup that took place BEFORE you deleted it and TA-DA! The file is back again!

Talk about saving your hide!

I could go on and on and on all day about why I love TurboBackup 9.1! Just look at this list of features and you'll see just how extensive it can be!

WOW - that's quite a list!

Security Matters Too!

If your backups aren't protected, your files are SO much easier to steal! An unsecured backup on a vulnerable computer is basically a gift-wrapped treasure chest of data for theives!

TurboBackup lets you encrypt & password your backups so that ONLY you can get access to them!

But don't be fooled - this is STILL the easiest software out there! Nobody has ever combined power and simplicity quite like this before!

And I'm not the only one going crazy over TurboBackup 9.1!

You don't get awards like this without being a pretty impressive piece of software, after all!

Plus there's at least two dozen more awards from the over the years on top of this!

"TurboBackup, by FileStream, Inc. is a powerful program for backing up all of your important data. You can backup one computer or backup multiple computers on your network. The program is really easy-to-use and perfect for users with all levels of experience. I like the fact that the program lets you back up to external drives, CDs, and DVDs. That gives you extra flexibility when backing up."

- Michael E. Callahan aka Dr. File Finder

THAT'S a glowing recommendation!

So now you're wondering... "Is this gonna cost me an arm and a leg?"

NOPE!

Not only can you keep your limbs, you can keep the money in your bank too - because this is practically pocket change! Only $9.97 and you get FREE shipping in the US!

If you skip this one, orderlies might show up at your doorstep to bring you to a padded room! That is, if losing all your files hasn't already driven you nuts!

A sale like this CANNOT last forever - you need to get on this before they sell out! If there ARE any left Thursday, the price goes up to $16.97

No Hard Drive Lives Forever...

Hard drives are sensitive, complex mechanical devices. Most modern hard drives can hit over 7200 RPMs!

But it's not without a cost: No matter HOW hard you try, 100% of hard drives will eventually crash.

AND THAT ALMOST ALWAYS SPELLS DISASTER!

What do you do when your hard drive crashes?

Well, there are only two outcomes...

1. If you don't back up your data:

It's gone. Throw your hard drive in the trash and start fresh... because you are NOT recovering that data. A dead hard drive is just that. It's game over.

2. If you DO back up your data:

You take your handy little Super Talent16GB back up flash drive and put all your saved files on your next computer. With JUST ONE CLICK!

You don't lose a single file, and you don't spend the weekend wishing you had printed those vacation photos that you'll never get back.

Which one would you prefer?

There's only ONE reason not to back up data: it USED to be hard. It took a lot of time, it took expensive hardware or software, and it took some tech-savvy. You had to know file extensions, directories, the whole works.

NOT ANYMORE! IT JUST GOT AS EASY AS ONE SINGLE CLICK!

The Super Talent 16GB Instant Backup Flash Drive!

NO software. NO set up. NO time consuming steps. All you do is plug it in and click "backup"!

Could it BE any easier?

The first time you pop it in, it just asks you what directories you want to backup. After that, every new backup is just a click away.

What's great is that it keeps ALL of your directories and folders right in the order you have them on your PC. So you'll know EXACTLY where to find them on the flash drive or after you back them up to another PC!

AND USING IT IS AS EASY AS A CLICK! LOOK!

Think about everything you have on your computer: TONS of photos. ALL of your favorite music. Family videos and contact information.

How about work documents, important files, sensitive documents. Even your passwords, e-mails, favorite web pages... EVERYTHING!

After a crash, you can't get those photos back. The videos are now distant memories. And your passwords? Good luck remembering the ones you haven't had to type in for years.

BUT IF IT'S BACKED UP, YOU WON'T LOSE ANYTHING! PERIOD!

And with backing up this easy, you won't even have to think about it!

This DEFINES User Friendly!

We tested it out, just check out the video:

Ultra Sleek, Ultra Secure, ULTRA FAST!

It looks, feels, and acts just like your standard flash drive (of course, standard flash drives can't hold a candle to this one) so you know it's gonna be easy and lightweight to move or store.

Plus, when you aren't using it, you can flip the drive around to protect the connector! YES!

IT WORKS JUST LIKE A REGULAR FLASH DRIVE TOO!

That's right - Just drag and drop files to it and use it like any other flashdrive! Talk about the best of both worlds!!

Take it anywhere! Back up any PC or laptop! Use it for EVERYTHING!

And if you're looking for fast, this thing is gonna BLOW YOU AWAY!

This is a Super Talent high-speed USB 2.0 drive.

We're talkin' up to 480Mbps of PURE SPEED!

Last but not least: IT'S SECURE!

When you back up anything on this drive, you can choose to encrypt it and guard it with a password of your choice! Nobody but you or those you trust get access to YOUR files.

So all your tax, financial, and confidential documents? You can back them up too without worrying! FINALLY!

It's not just passwords, either. It's full-power encryption!

All those passwords on your PC don't mean a thing if you don't have SECURE backups.

But with the included backup software, it's not a problem.

A Backup Drive For UNDER $19! WOW!

If you go anywhere to try and get a backup drive, you'll be looking $40 for the BARE MINIMUM! And those are bulky, heavy external hard drives that you really can't move or store.

Personal note - I needed another backup drive for all my photography, and these were just PERFECT for the job! They're sooooooo handy!

You will NOT find a faster, more convenient backup drive out there for just $18.97 with FREE US SHIPPING anywhere else!

These are simply one of the coolest devices I've ever seen. PLEASE don't miss out on this deal. We only have so many and once they're gone... that's it.

Folds Up To Easily Store Too! YES!

Watch Our Video - You're Gonna LOVE This!

SAVE YOUR EARS!!!

We don't ALL carry big boomboxes around anymore. The decade for that has come and gone. But sometimes you want to be able to share your music or listen to it louder than a whisper!

From impromptu gatherings, parties, or even when you're just working at your desk... music makes everything more enjoyable!

But you know what's NOT enjoyable? Those crummy little speakers built into your phone or tablet! Those things barely meet minimum quality standards!

AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON VOLUME! I turned my phone up to the max and still have to practically touch it to my ear to hear it! It's enough to make ya scream!

Is there a solution? Of course there is... and WorldStart's got it just for you!

It's a UNIVERSAL tablet/phone stand and speaker ALL IN ONE!

It's powered by either 3 'AAA' batteries OR a USB connection!

Flip It Out - Set It Down!

Two steps! That's all it takes to enjoy the pure audio bliss of FINALLY having good speakers for your favorite mobile device!

STEP 1. Put your device on the stand.

STEP 2. Plug the cable into your device's headphone jack.

That's all you gotta do!

Now THAT'S easy!

It's Clear And It's LOUD!

You may have bought your tablet or phone thinkin' "Hey this is cool, I can watch videos wherever I want now!" Then you heard those built-in speakers and felt like someone kicked the excitement right outta you!

THIS IS THE TRICK TO GET EXCITED AGAIN! Once you listen to your movie or video through THESE speakers you're gonna be BLOWN AWAY!

The audio quality is top-notch and you can finally get a booming sound without having to hook your tablet up to a full-on stereo system (which would be downright goofy!)

The Fold Out Stand Is Incredible - Have you ever tried to watch a LONG video on your tablet? You're stuck holdin' that thing for upwards of 2 hours! After you're done, you feel like a weight lifter!

This stand is SIMPLE and EASY! It's fully adjustable to work with even an iPod but can go all the way up to full-sized tablets!

This is like a portable theater station for your mobile devices!

WORKS WITH ANYTHING!

I've been talkin' up tablets and phones a lot. But since that connector is a 3.5mm jack - it'll work with nearly ANY modern audio device.

You know that place where your plug headphones in? If your device has one of those, it's COMPLETELY COMPATIBLE!

So if all your music is on your iPod (which probably doesn't even HAVE speakers) you can still listen to it on this! There's no reason to buy those $100 speaker stations!

And speaking of prices... wait until you see this: IT'S ONLY $16.97 with FREE US SHIPPING!

That's music to ANYONE'S ears!

Quick Tip

Helen from Morrisville, PA writes:

I have seen many notes about Blu-ray. I have no idea what this is. Could you explain it?

Sure Helen. Blu-Ray is a format for digital storage on discs. It is the same size and shape as a conventional DVD or CD, but can hold much more information, giving you a much clearer high-definition picture. The first Blu-Ray player was released in 2003.

You cannot play a Blu-Ray disc on a standard DVD drive. Though you can play a standard DVD in a Blu-Ray drive. So be careful when you're purchasing DVDs to make sure you're not buying Blu-Ray if you don't have a player.

Blu-Ray players are generally more expensive than standard DVD players. Though, these days you can find a basic Blu-Ray staring around $50 and running up over $1000 for fancy models with streaming features. Blu-Ray discs will often cost $4 or $5 more than standard DVDs.

If you own a HDTV or HD monitor, a Blu-Ray is worth the cost for the improvement in picture.

One last thing, don't confuse Blu-Ray with Bluetooth. Bluetooth refers to the ability to connect devices like headphones and keyboard wirelessly.

Computers 101

Patricia from Nevada writes:

I am going to waste a little of your time to tell you why nothing you say is going to persuade me to like Win8 in any form. It was not designed for someone like me. It was designed for the person Microsoft wants me to be, or thinks I should be. It does what Microsoft wants it to not what I want it to.

I use my computer for correspondence, accounting, finances, taxes, etc., with a bit of shopping, e-mail, and reading the news. I am advised Office 2013 is mostly web-based, with some kind of family subscription plan. What family? I would be the only user. I don't use the cloud because I don't trust it. I don't collaborate. I don't share anything. I have no shared or public folders or files, and I never will. I don't listen to music, or the radio. I don't watch movies or television. I don't stream anything and don't plan to. I don't use Skype. I don't play games. I don't take, edit or share pictures or video. I don't have any "My Pictures" or "My Videos" or "My Movies." I don't need to see the weather because I live in the Las Vegas Valley where it doesn't change much. I am a very private person. I have no social media accounts and don't want any. I use a keyboard. Period. I have a form of dyslexia, and I cannot learn to swipe, tap, squeeze, flap, whatever. (I can't use a mouse, either.)

So, when the sad day arrives that I have no alternative to Win8, I will be spending my first weeks with it trying to figure out how to strip out all the stuff I don't want, don't need, cannot use and won't use, and then finding 3rd-party utilities that will make me a computer I want.

Patricia, I love a challenge. And although nothing I can say can make anyone love a particular operating system, I do think you have some misconceptions about Windows 8 and Office 2013. But let me play devil's advocate (Microsoft being the devil in this case.)

You can use Windows 8 for Word Processing and Accounting the same way you use previous versions of Windows. The Office 2013 interface is a little different, but certainly familiar. There is an Office 365 subscription plan available (that makes Office available on up to 5 devices), but you can still purchase a single use, one computer copy if you choose. And you don't have to use the Internet with Office 365 if you don't choose to.

Organize Facebook Pages With Lists

Facebook can seem a little disorganized at times, especially if you're trying to keep track of numerous friends, family, bands, shows, businesses and more. While friends and family appear in your news feed, you might be missing out on important updates from your favorite pages. Facebook changed the way page updates appear in your news feed, resulting in few, if any, updates. You could follow each individual page or you can create organized lists to easily view just the pages you want.

Lists were created to help you organize your friends and family and work as mini news feeds with just the people you want included. However, you can use the same feature to keep track of businesses, bands, authors, websites and more.

From your news feed page on Facebook, locate the Friends section on the left side of the screen.

Amanda's Coolsite

Investopedia

Investing money has always seemed like a mystery to me, but I've started thinking about it a lot lately. I decided to do some research and I ran across this site. I thought it was particularly helpful, so I wanted to share it with you.

Investopedia offers a lot of free information and tutorials about investing your money as well as investment news.

When you arrive at the site, you'll land on the main page which features the most recent articles, news, and even a dictionary word a day.

Along the top of the page you'll find a navigation strip with the following categories: Dictionary, Investing, Markets, Personal Finance, Active Trading, Forex, Professionals, Tutorials, Videos, Simulator, and Free Newsletter.

Check this site out to learn about investing, how it works, and how you can start planning for the future.

One More Big Deal

What Good Is a Light You Can't Turn On In The Dark?!

Switches? Strings? You KINDA Know Where To Look...

But Actually Getting Them?

GOOD LUCK!

You Need a Light You Can Just TAP To Turn On!

And We've Got The Coolest Little One You'll EVER See!

Super Bright Mushroom Touch Lamps!

All You Gotta Do Is Tap The Top!

Banged Knees And Bad Words...

Aren't you tired of it?

You come home, you struggle to find the switch for the nearest light... and right into the table goes your knee.

That's USUALLY followed by some "choice words" that'd leave anyone else's jaw-dropped and eyes wide.

You aren't alone! The entire idea is ridiculous!

Think about it: You need light to see. You need to SEE switches or strings to turn your light on. There's a HUGE disconnect on the logic here!

THESE MUSHROOM LAMPS ARE WAY TOO EASY TO USE!

Walk into a room, stick your hand out in the general area, and flick your wrist!

All it takes is a tap to get more than enough light to do anything!

A Tap Lamp For ANY Space!

These lamps with their portable size and fun design can literally fit in ANYWHERE you want! I've got one for a desk lamp, but sometimes I move it to the kitchen to make some midnight snacks if I don't want to light up my entire home!

You'll find having a little lamp that you can move around saves you a LOT of stress!

That spot in your house that NEVER gets the right lighting? The desk where you keep having to twist and pull the lamp cord to get light actually where you're working?

Yeah, you can solve all that with this little lamp!

NO CORDS OR WIRES!

It's portable battery power for this little guy! YES!!!

That means you can even take these on the go! They make GREAT options for travel!

Could This Deal GET ANY BETTER?!

Of course it can - this is WorldStart after all!

These bad boys are only $4.97!! And what's more - if your order is over $5, you get FREE US SHIPPING! Grab two or three of these... you're gonna LOVE 'em!

Sale ends Thursday and these go back to $8.97 !!

Polar Bear Shaking Off

This image is one of a series where this big 'ole Polar Bear emerged from a snow bank and decided to take a stroll around our Polar Rover. He had already brushed off once, so I really wasn't expecting it when he paused for a moment mid-stride and gave a giant shake! He looked like a big dog just coming out of a bath – a snow bath in this instance! My favorite part…(More)

Silent Stargazers (great for mobile devices)

Winter in Bryce Canyon, Utah. It's cold. Like 20 degrees below zero, but it felt like more like forty below from an aggressive wind biting at your face. And I decide it might be fun to go out and shoot some star photos :) Fortunately, I had plenty of arctic gear with me and that made all the difference in the world. My hands were always cold from...

Goose Fight

It was a snowy day and I was bored. Winter was almost over and spring hadn't yet sprung – it was brown and boring. The nature photographer's doldrums. Oh well, I needed out get out so I figured I'd check out the Magee Marsh Wildlife Area and see if there was anything interesting going on. 45 minutes later I was there – and as I feared... (More)
