Exploring Your External Drive

You have your own way of saving your precious data that your computer may use everyday. Back up this and back up that , save here and save there. When you extract your data to your externals to keep it safe. But is that enough to have a secure data storage ? Is it enough to have storage devices to keep your data safe ? External drives purpose is to keep your information safe and secure for future use and reference. What do you do when your external source has decided to not work anymore ? what happens to the data that you have worked so hard on that is now lost in limbo?

Firstly your data is not totally lost when your drive gos down, there are data recovery services that are there to help you do just that but the catch is its going to cost you, cost you more than you think. Ask your self that question is it worth it? And other than that fact these services may not be able to recover all the data either. A  typical extraction from a defective device is 145 depending upon how much data is on it , can run into the thousands of dollars .

Second there are ways to get your drive to work again but only temporarily to get your data out. All those methods getting to the data are very risky and may ultimately become a waste of time and also a lost drive as well. External drives have a history in fact to break down , why that is a mystery .

Problems with computer components are a normal assurance, nothing really lasts forever and especially when a computer has so many dependent functions to keep it working properly. So best advice to anyone who has problems with external drives is to have more than one kind or more than one so that if one fails  the other will back you up.

Your Security Matters

People from all walks of life are connected to you and your family through your school and neighborhood and church. Its only natural to be curious to know who these people are and what influence they have on your family and friends.With so many social structures around its hard to pin point where the positive and negative safe ground really is. The greatest downfall to any social relationship in this world is Internal deception. The people that we trust the most seem to be the ones we should be worrying about the most. But that isn't the case always, just it would seem so. Our contact with other people that we confide in the very important life issues like , childcare, home care, in general anyone that has the greatest contact with you or family.
Its apparent that research of an individual is the only way to know to some degree is necessary.There are all kinds of research tools available. Just need to know what kind of check you want to do, according to the situation that you are in. Running a background check of an individual is very simple in fact , it takes a matter of minutes before you get all the information that you are seeking. It applies the same as we scan our computers for viruses , so we must do the same with people that we know very little about whom are asking for your trust. Its your right too be informed of anything that you think that its be a threat to you and your family. Even if it a phone number that someone keeps harassing you .Or someone you would like to know that has passed away. Either way you will be able to get valuable information to protect your self.

Buyers Perception

People's perception of products have always been what the media illustrates to the people through the media. Its no surprise sometimes when you go to the store and immediately you are influenced by an ad that you may have seen earlier or from an indirect source. That is called pulling your strings to get you to make a quick decisions based on a visual representation or just by mere glamour. Its the job of the media and there little tricks to get you to buy there products, never disclosing the full product information. We all know what it feels like to be pushed into a decision based on just limited information. The television commercials are notorious for that kind of influence to the mass's. To many marketers is no big thing to mis-lead people and even manipulate you to think what they want you to think, it's there objective.

Take a Moment 

Always take a moment and think about what is going on and then make a final judgment by just saying no. Really say no and that alone will give you time to see what its about from looking outside the presure of buying any product of any kind. Its almost like letting other people try it before you to see if what they promise is in fact true and its almost having a lab rat to test what your interested in. Just to get the information you need to make sure you are not being taken advantage of or mislead with promises that are being said or disclosed to you. Being a consumer , we are all at risk everyday when we purchase merchandise or in fact anything at all. Most of the time we are being taken advantage of the people we trust already like family ,friends ,but most of all the government , but that is besides the point im making here. Im talking about the companies that surround us with out everyday products.  

Be a Better Shopper

In the long run you will see that , you decisions on making that major purchase or any kind at all would be more less likely to end up making you pissed off at your self and others. Its a kind defense, using information to benefit you. There are so many ways to get the information you need to research the products you buy.

Resources that you need

The Internet for one, its the number source of information in the world that is endless, boundless. Which is where you will find 99% of the information you need and the other 1% through your network of friends or family. Its a gathering of information to see what the pros and cons are to anything at all. One good source is consumer reports , where you can find most products to stay away from. But realistically you just need you gut and wit to know sometimes. 

Googles Phone Version

The Never ending changing cell phone platform at which all phones base them selves on evolution of itself.Which direction is this market really going? Google is starting to get the attention of many people who are wondering about what they have to offer in this particular area of the market. Google is going to introduce this new phone (Nexus) to you and what it has to offer on there new web site( google.com/phone). We all noticed that big giant companies allways try to get there hands on the big market movers that bring in tons of revenue and interest from the mass's. In order for Google to pull it off there They would have to use every bit of every marketing idea out there. One of the biggest eye openers is the the applications that are available for this phone are only 18,000 and the iphone have about 100,000, big diffrence when considering that a large majority of people use there phones for specific programs and application that are available to them. The Nexus Allots only but a tiny 190 megabytes of storage for downloaded apps.

The phones sleek comfort to the touch and grasp to its touch makes me wonder if the touch screen limitation are worth it. , there is no physical touch ringer, nor can you multi-touch screen like the I-Phone. Phone shopping can be frustrating when looking for a phone that fits you needs , you should check the phone out only because its new and may make you turn your head but may not open your wallet.
