PHP is one of the universal scripting languages for web content delivery. In fact, many popular systems run on the PHP language:WordPress, Joomla, vBulletin and phpBB, to name a few.

Because of its popularity, businesses often need the support of PHP services when choosing a cloud host provider. PHP is naturally supported by both the Linux and Microsoft web hosting platforms, so whichever operating system is chosen, PHP can be used on the servers.

Easy Installation

The PHP coding engine is included with LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, and PHP) environments. Microsoft IIS supports the language naturally with newer versions. For older versions of IIS, the PHP engine is a quick installation with little configuration requirements. The PHP system uses a flat text file to configure an environment, so there are no difficult interfaces to support.

Cost

Microsoft environments are expensive, but PHP and LAMP systems are affordable, especially when the business pays for cloud hosting costs up-front. For instance, Rackspace has the Ubuntu operating system with Apache installed, which are both free operating systems for Linux. The costs associated with Linux are a fraction of the cost to set up Microsoft applications, and plenty of developers offer free tools to install on the server.

Performance

PHP is used in even large corporate web environments. The language is linear, and does not use much server overhead to execute. PHP is great for high traffic websites, and it’s a common language for software developers, so finding a contract or permanent software developer to join the IT team is not difficult.

Security

Security is always an issue when allowing Internet traffic to access a web server. PHP has several functions and configurations to facilitate a safe transaction environment. PHP hosting environments also allow for SSL certificates, which provide encryption for transactions with sensitive customer information.

Support

Support is integral for a web-based business, and a good cloud host provides PHP support when LAMP servers are installed. The host will support any security breaches, network hardware failures, or in some cases, PHP errors that stem from a server configuration issue. The cloud host support team should be able to identify any issue that’s related to the host server configurations and permissions.

Bandwidth

LAMP servers use very little resources, but bandwidth is also a consideration for connectivity support and performance. Cloud computing hosts serve data to users based on geolocation, so bandwidth use is minimized while connectivity performance is maximized. A good cloud host offers data centers everywhere in the world, so even international customers have a fast user experience on the business website.

Number of Domains

PHP supports any number of domains on the web server. PHP is a lightweight language, so there is not a lot of overhead to support multiple sites on one server. This is a consideration when using dedicated servers in the cloud. Theoretically, the server can host hundreds of websites using the PHP scripting language as a backend engine and provider.

Not all considerations are created equal, but the IT manager should ensure that each of these considerations is researched when finding the right host provider.

On the internet there will always be companies and websites tracking your every click and key.  Many companies will take this information and use it to create a database that they can use to sell products to you or, for the more malicious types, use your passwords to bypass firewalls to steal vital information or impliment malware or viruses to your computer.

Amongst most internet users, this is a real problem. While you are on this site you are probebly getting tracked by several companies. But fear not, there are good guys in this war to. You just have to be able to find them. A company that has recently been created called “Ghostery” has a tool that you can use. They have a program that you can use to protect yourself.

This program is completely free to download and requires little installation. What Ghostery does is it tracks the surveys that are tracking you and shuts them down. It allowes you to select which websites you want to track you; so if you want to be tracked by a site by google, but don’t want unknown sites to track you, you can do that. Or you can set it so that no sites whatsoever can track you making you heavly protected. The best part about Ghostery is that even if you block all of the sites or some of them it showes you which ones it is blocking and which ones it is letting track you.

For years now scientist have been plagued with the following question: how do we leave our solar system and enter a new one? There have been many theories for exotic new space engines each one more effecient then the last one. The purpose of this article is to explain several different methods of travel. The current method of space travel is highly ineffectient and will take 168,000 years going at its constant 28,300 Kph. And let me remind you that that is to Alpha Centauri (4.3 light years away), the closest star to us. To go to stars that are just a bit further would take millions and to reach the other side of the galaxy would take 3.636364*10^9 years. By then our home would be long gone. But fear not, there are other ways to travel through the universe. Here is a list of just a few.

Photon sail: What a Photon sail is a sail that is about 100 miles in diamiter that would be used to tow a spaceship. Like a sail boat, the sail would be pushed by a source except that in this case it is a highly concentrated beam of photons (A.K.A. a laser) instead of a gust of wind that would be propelling it. This method would allow us humans to travel at 64 million Mph or about 10% the speed of light.

Fission explosions: A fission reaction occurses when an element becomes to heavy and splits into 2 smaller elements. When this happens it creates a large and extemely violent explosion. This is the exact type of explosion that would occur in a nuclear bomb. The reaction would cause a series of explosions each one propelling the spaceship futher. These explosions could be extremely dangerous but when used correctly could have a monumnetal effect. This method of travel’s top speed would be about 32 million Mph or about 5% the speed of light. Though this method of travel is much slower than a photon sail it is much more effectient because it requires much less resources to power. This series of explosions was origanaly proposed in project orion.

Fusion explosion: Origionaly proposed in project Dedalues a form of spacetravel using a fusion reaction opposed to a fission reaction was proposed. What this fusion reaction does is at the base of the the space ship there would be a smaller sized partical excellerator with several Heleium-3 particles excelerating. Then in the the center of the excellerator would be a single dueterium (Heavy water) atom floating. As the He-3 particles spin they start to pick up speed at the same rate. Then at the same time they release smashing into the Dueterium particle in the center. This would create a much larger explosion then the fission reactor and would use alot less fuel than a conventional rocket. It is estemated that fusion fuel the size of a grain of sand would be the equvilent to 10 gallons of conventional rocket fuel. The dueterium would be aquired from sea water and the He-3 would be extracted from Jupiter or saturn. One of the advantages of having a fusion reactor over a fission reactor is that one could go to new system and “refuel” by borrowing their rescources. This can also be done with a fission reactor in theory but one would have to go mining to find the radioactive elements needed for the reaction. The He and H need for the fussion would be much easier because it is estimated that 98% of all matter in the universe is H and He. There is no estimations for the average speed of this spaceship but is estemated that it would be alot more powerful than the fission reaction considering that a hydrogen bomb is about 50 times more powerful than a atomic bomb.

Antimatter explosions: Following the same concept read in the last 2 posts one could use Antimatter as an expolsion source to propel a ship. When Antimatter comes into contact with matter it creates a violent explosion. The only effectient way to obtain antimatter is to create it in a hydron super collider. To put antimatter into perspective, it takes about 10 milligrams of antimatter to take us from earth to mars. And 1 milligram is about .001 the size of an M&M candy. Though that may not seem like alot it does take massive amounts of energy to obtain and store this amount of antimatter but the payoff is worth it. Antimatter produces Gammarays which happen to be the smallest wave lenght and the most powerful know to us. That being said Gammarays are so deadly they can melt through iron as if it was butter. Because we are talking about Antimatter, you can just stuff them in a bottle like all other fuel, Antimatter has to be stored in an electomagnetic field to make it less volitial. This Antimatter space ship could travel at a whooping 448 million Mph or 70% the speed of light.

Blackhole tow: One final theory is the Blackhole tow. What a black hole does is it warps space around it to create a sort of spacebubble. What this spacebubble could do is bend space around the space ship to tow it. This Blackhole would compress the space in the front of the ship while expanding it in the back. This would make it so the spaceship in theory never moves at all, but instead pulls space towards the ship. This would be devestating though if you were to approach the because it can tear through it in a matter of seconds. This blackhole tow would allow you to “travel” at speeds faster than light. The reason why this doesn’t defy Einstien’s theory of special reletivity is because Einstien stated that nothing(energy or matter) could move faster than the speed of light, this isn’t moving faster than the speed of light. In fact it isn’t even moving at all. It is simpling pulling the fabric of space towards you. For example lets say that you have a ball sitting in the middle of the rug. You could either walk over and pick up the ball, jog over and pick up the ball, run over and pick up the ball, or you could just not move at all and pull the rug towards you with the ball sitting on the top untill it reaches where you are sitting/standing.

When it comes to buying gadgets, a lot of care and consideration needs to go into any purchase. While quite a few brands put out products with similar functions, an equal amount cannot measure up to the competition. Knowing the difference will make you happier with your purchase, as well as keep you from spending money on something that you won’t want. Here’s what you need to know in order to make the smartest purchases on gadgets!

Figure Out What You Want 
The firststep is determining what gadget you are specifically looking for. More importantly, what you can expect this particular device to do for you. If you want something that works like a portable computer but has the interface and functionality a smart phone, then newer tablet releases should fit this need. Knowing what you expect from the device will help you narrow down options as well, as there are plenty of electronics that offer less functionality and/or features than others.

Release Dates 
Once you have a product in mind, pay close attention to the top of the line. These companies are known to release a couple of new gadgets a year to improve or add more features to their existing popular products. If you are hoping for a feature you haven’t found, it might be on the way within a year or so. Or, if you are looking to save some money, the latest version should knock the price of the previous model down to make it more affordable for you.

Shop Around 
The key is really shopping around. You have to both look online and in stores in your area for whatever you’re looking for. This is going to give you a good idea of the average price of this device, as well as where you might be able to save some money. Many online locations offer coupons for free shipping or percentages off your order. A little bit of patience and determination can end up saving you big. Be sure to do a Google search for any coupons or promotions (try “Best Buy + Coupons” for example, if you’re shopping there) to make sure you get the best deal possible.

Reviews 
Public opinion is important to any company that makes gadgets, but it should also be equally important to you. For popular devices, you should be able to find hundreds of reviews on various websites offering you unique insight into how products work and/or what people love or hate about it. This will give you the opportunity to test drive a device through other people’s experiences without ever making a purchase. Take advantage of what people have felt inclined to write, and understand what makes the bad reviews bad, and what makes people really love this product. See which of these you can relate to the most, and you should be able to determine the gadget in particular that suits you the best.

Jenda Grimes writes about technology. His recent work is about the Best Computer Science Schools.

Professionals who work in creative media, such as photography, architecture, or film, have followed the path of most 21st-century businesses: They depend on the Web to drive sales and cull new opportunities.

Unlike other businesses, creative professionals are especially dependent on the quality of the images shown to potential customers, all while creating a web presence that is fast and easy to use. A film maker, for example, does himself no favors if his sample videos hang and need to reboot every few seconds. A wedding photographer will sell fewer photos if her site doesn’t allow the user to quickly scan through the selection. It is vital for creative professionals to find the right cloud host.

According to Eelco van Beek, CEO of Jitscale, an IT management organization that works with creative professionals, photographers, artists and other creative types should consider the following issues when looking for a hosting environment:

*Backups: does the provider guarantee backups of your data?

*Bandwidth pricing: most providers charge for the bandwidth that is used to share your artwork. This could become expensive if your artwork is popular on the Internet.

*Quality and Terms of Service: what guarantees does the provider offer in terms of availability?

*Intellectual Property: do you still own the data you upload to the provider?

*Shared or dedicated hosting environment: shared hosting can be inexpensive but usually has less performance and reliability than dedicated hosting.

*Latency: is the network connectivity of your provider close enough to your client base? For example if most of your clients are in Europe, you want to consider using a hosting environment which is located in Europe.

*Security: how well does the provider secure the environment you use?

A cloud storage solution with a Content Delivery Network is also an important consideration, added Carson Ward, a consultant with search marketing site Distilled.

“When your content is image-heavy, traditional hosting is just too slow and unreliable,” Ward said. “If your images blow up in Europe, that small hosting server all the way in Ohio won’t cut it. CDNs ensure that your images load fast, no matter where in the world your fans are.”

Speed matters, especially with high-resolution images, but it’s only part of the equation. “Traditional site hosting just won’t handle a surge in traffic, and your site will go down under heavy traffic — right when people are trying to view it. CDNs will automatically adjust bandwidth, continuing to serve images quickly even when your content goes viral,” Ward said.

To best store media files in the cloud so they upload quickly, van Beek pointed out a trade off between quality and speed. “To get the best quality online you will need to use larger media files and thus it will take longer to upload. Getting a high-speed connection to the internet will make it much quicker but will be more expensive,” he said. For customers who are downloading the data, it’s important to separate static media files (pictures and/or video) from the dynamic content (text articles) on your site. Full size pictures should only be offered as a separate download and initially shown as thumbnails or lower quality versions.

In the end, the storage media you choose will depend on what the most important deliverable to your potential customers will be.

The iPhone is an amazing piece of technology. If you’re still not privy to this ubiquitous trend, then you should know that people use their iPhones to connect with their family, get directions, and run their day to day lives. Many people could not imagine their lives without an iPhone. One of the biggest benefits of the phone is all of the apps available for download. There are literally thousands of apps to choose from, no matter what you need to make your life more fun, manageable or even profitable. Unfortunately, too many apps can spell trouble, causing the phone to become cluttered and unorganized. It can also be overwhelming for those who are new to technology. If this sounds familiar to you, then here are four steps to organize your apps!

Get in the Know

You should know how many iPhone applications you have, and what type of applicants they are. The easiest way to check is to connect your phone to your iTunes program. After syncing your phone to your iTunes account, open the Apps icon in the navigation bar on the left. Here, you will be able to view all of the apps installed on your iPhone. This will give you a good start in cleaning up your cluttered phone. You can organize your applications in any number of ways, alphabetically, program type, or date installed. Now, you should have a clear idea of your situation.

Uninstall

Lets face it, a lot of us installed useless applications, while others have become out of date. Check out the last time you have used the app. If it has been months, or even years, consider removing the application. Also, when uninstalling apps, look for duplicate applications. There is no need to have two weather apps or two sports apps – one app per subject should suffice. It’s likely that one or two of these apps were downloaded for some kind of promotion (“Get a 5% discount by downloading our app!” – Sound familiar?), and if that’s the case, never fear! You did your part – they obviously haven’t given you any reason to stay on as a customer! In the worst case scenario, you can always download the application again. Maybe it’d be better on a different platform, such an iPad.

Create Folders

After you have consolidated your apps, you should create folders. Though it is a tedious process, it will be the most important process in getting organized. You will need to create folders based upon your supplied parameters. For example, you can make a folder for finance, photography, games and so on. You can put up to 12 apps into a single folder, and this should suffice when wanting to clean up your iPhone screen. Remember, this process might take a long time, especially if you have a lot of apps on your phone, but you can likely get all your apps onto a single screen if that’s your goal!

Efficiency

This tip only applies if you don’t mind having multiple pages of apps to scrolls through. And for us in this camp, it is not uncommon to have dozens of applications. So, put the most used apps on the first or the second page – this makes them much more accessible. Remember, most apps are not used daily (for instance, an Airline app or Netflix), so it only makes sense to move those to the back of the line. Also remember that you’ll thank yourself later if you put closely related apps together – credit card apps, for example.

The iPhone is a great tool for our busy lives. Nowhere is the iPhone more impressive than in the applications arena. Unfortunately, a lot of people go crazy and download too many apps, which becomes difficult for them to organize. Luckily, thanks to a little program called iTunes, you should be able to organize your applications in no more than an hour or so.

There are a plethora of instances that necessitate complete removal of sensitive information that was previously written to your media storage device. You may require disposing of your old Mac or selling it to a stranger. Before disposing of this computer, it is essential to clean the data off your old drive to reduce the chances of an identity theft. Accidental disclosure of data may occur in any of the following scenarios:

• You sell your Mac’s hard drive without securely erasing your confidential data on the drive.
• You return your impaired drive to the manufacturer without using any appropriate media destruction practice.
• You disposed of your computer that had a functional drive.

To secure yourself against such incidents or avoid becoming a victim of identify thefts, you should rely on appropriate data destruction methods. The best way to counter data remanence and remove all traces of sensitive data from your storage media is disk wiping. The method of wiping typically involves overwriting the hard drive with all 0s, all 1s, or any random sequence of 0s and 1s. This overwriting can be done multiple times for a higher security. Recent studies have shown that a single overwrite is sufficient to securely erase your media.

Most of us confuse file deletion with file wiping or disk wiping. When you simply press the delete button on your keyboard or even empty the Trash bin, you do not end up erasing that file. Instead, the contents of the file remain intact on your hard drive in their original place. This can give a chance to intruders to get access to these files by using simple recovery methods.

The Mac OS accesses files using pointers. A pointer gives information to the OS regarding the start and end of a file. When a file gets deleted, a pointer to this file is removed, which indeed marks the disk space occupied by the file as ‘free’ or ‘available’ space. The operating systems follow this tactic as it is relatively simple and fast. Performing complete erasure of data may take significant overhead. On the contrary, deleting a pointer consumes less time.

The file system can no longer view the deleted file, and thus cannot locate the contents of the file. However, this file can be still recovered until the space occupied by it gets overwritten with new data. It is possible for a file recovery program to comb through your drive and recover this file. In case the OS partially overwrites this file, only a part of it can be reclaimed by the recovery program.

Hence, file deletion does not ensure data destruction leaving you at the risk of disclosing your private or confidential information to unauthorized users. In order to prevent such information leakage, you should wipe your hard drive before letting off an old Mac. There are plenty of professional Mac disk wipe utilities on the market nowadays. With the help of these tools, you can securely erase all remnants of confidential files on your hard drive beyond the scope of recovery.

Author: Vishal, just shared the need of File Eraser utility for Macs to ensure no confidential data is hampered after letting off the Mac/hard drive.

As Google pushes forward with its plans for gigabit fiber Internet access, I wonder if they are considering the repercussions from competitors. As they offer a free 5MB downstream of the Internet for anyone willing to pay the $300 installation price, this could greatly tear into profits of competing ISPs in those areas. Could Google wind up in court yet again for being innovative?

1. The Competition – It seems that if you’re not with Google, then you’re against them. Since the search engine super-giant threw the hat into the ring of mobile computing, everyone not supporting Android has barked up Google’s tree.

If Google is true to offering free Internet and residents eat up the idea, this could be extremely troublesome for the competition. Before long, a class-action suit could be filed against Google for trying to monopolize the market or some other technical jargon that can be spun by money-hungry lawyers.

It’s not Google’s intention to rob various ISPs of potential income using trickery devices, but it’s to promote interest in the service. If a service provider wants to quell the damage wrought by Google’s advertising team, it needs to devise its own form of damage control. Any marketing campaign can be countered if the competition can dedicate themselves to providing a better deal to consumers.

2. Microsoft Revisited – Do you remember when Microsoft had to divide itself up because too many competitors were complaining about the power the software mega-giant wielded? Could a similar instance happen to Google?

It is ridiculous to imagine that if a company grows too large, our law enforcement officials can say when it needs to be reduced. Isn’t that the whole premise of living in the “land of opportunity?” Instead, we pay too much attention as to not hurt anyone’s feel-goods that we sacrifice much of what this country was built on. Tolerance doesn’t mean “to placate.”

3. More than Internet – One of the features offered through fiber optic from Google is the Fiber TV service. Now, they are planning to pummel cable and dish networks. If the service is better, then so be it.

If cable and dish competitors want to stay in the game, they need to develop innovative plans themselves. If it’s not cost effective to install fiber optic lines to replace aging copper, then something else will need to be addressed.

4. Adaptation – As with any activity on a network, you’re only as fast as your slowest router. If you have a 1GB connection, it doesn’t mean that you’ll stream data from YouTube at the same rate. Communication servers and routers between your Internet connection and YouTube’s actual server could have considerable lag on them.

In order for consumers to get really excited about 1GB downstreams, Google needs to devise a plan relating to latency on aging communication lines. I still have full intentions on paying Google to install fiber optic at my home as soon as they come in the area. I just hope it’s as fast as it looks on paper.

It may be years before some of these services begin seeing the decrease of a customer base, but it could still happen. As time and fiber progresses, competitors will slowly come from the wood-work to spell trouble for advanced technology. They always do.

As many companies seem to believe that innovation comes from lawsuits, Google will need to tread lightly. Although we may think some of these lawsuits are insanely frivolous, it is still cause for concern about where and when the next volley of them will appear. Personally, I believe Google should give away free Internet if they can afford to do so. If the competition is hurt by this practice, then the competition needs to come up with a better plan.

Super agents may be able to run really fast and climb sky-scrapers like nobody’s business, but what really saves their lives in the end of the day are those high-tech gadgets they are jam-packed with. And here are the top 5 spy gadgets that any self-respecting super-agent should have in his or her arsenal.

1. You are no secret agent if you don’t have tiny video camera hidden in a seemingly ordinary object. But glasses and pens are so widely-used they can cause suspicion. What about HD spy camera with night vision in the form of remote car door controller? This tiny video camera with an infrared LED provides illumination and allows you taking 1080p HD videos even in the darkest rooms. This smart gadget doesn’t look like a camera even on fairly close inspection, so you can take it anywhere without fear of being caught, and 8 GB memory built in will allow you to record even the longest conversation. The camera also has motion-detecting record activation, so you don’t even have to be in the same room to start recording. 
2. Another must have device for any super-agent is the gsm earpiece. Being an undercover agent you have to be able to answer tricky questions on the spot, and invisible earpieces can help you with that. This smaller than a pin gadget is wireless and designed in a way that is completely unnoticeable to people around you. Even in the center of the wildest crowd you will hear clearly all the instructions provided by your team on the other end of the phone line, and a highly sensitive microphone built in the Bluetooth transmitter will allow you to communicate with your partners.  The device works up to 8 hours without changing the battery, so you can be sure it won’t fail you during the mission.

3. In some situations it’s crucial to prevent your enemy from calling backup, and this handheld mobile phone jammer was designed specifically for those cases. And thanks to a 30 m range you’ll be able to shut down an entire crowd if necessary. 
4. Did you know that your heart rate can show when you are nervous and even when you are lying? And be sure that experienced secret agents know how to read those heart rate diagrams. But you won’t ask your suspect or object under observation to take off their shirt and measure their pulse, right? Thanks to heart rate camera app you will be able to find out what’ going on with your target’s heart’s rate without drawing suspicion. 
5. Living in information era we all know that knowledge is power, and the most treasured information is usually protected with elaborate passwords.  So from now on there is no need to wait long hours before your suspect gives up and provides you with needed password, you can use LM technologies Ps2 keysafe pro gadget to record all the keys pressed on a computer. 

Hopefully this essential arsenal will help you on your missions.

It comes as no surprise to us that Mountain Lion has many key changes when compared to the previous OS X versions. But there are a few among them that are highly significant and worth noting. Mac OS X has always provided its users a fair share of security that makes it superior to Windows; however, nothing was said about it in earlier versions. But the cornerstone of this eighth major release seems to be security and Apple has highlighted this throughout its communication about the OS.

Gatekeeper

This is a security setting in ‘System Preferences’, which ensures that your Mac does not install any software from untrusted sources. This means that you are always protected from malware attacks. You can configure the Gatekeeper to allow only the applications from Apple’s App Store. Trusted sources usually have a key provided by Apple that helps to distinguish them from other sources.

Sandboxing

The technique is used to make apps run within their own protected memory space (does not mean same bit of RAM), which means it cannot affect any other component in the system. This was done for Safari in the earlier versions. Now, the current version sandboxes Mail, FaceTime (videoconferencing), Reminders, and Notes. Another feature called Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) makes sure applications do not use the same portion of RAM always, and it has been optimized to make everything this way.

iCloud

iCloud is a means to integrate your Mac with a range of commonly used devices. The data generated by iCloud-enabled applications is synchronized and saved on every device that runs the application. These applications are Contacts, Notes, Mail, Calendar, Safari, etc. You can save files in the same way on your hard drive. However, to enjoy the benefits of iCloud, you need to specify your choices before saving. In addition, Windows users too can synchronize their data between multiple devices (such as iPhones and iPads) using the iCloud control panel specifically designed for Windows.

Sharing

Mountain Lion allows you to connect to your social networks easily. With this feature, you can post to your social networking sites directly from various applications such as Notes, Photo Booth, Safari, etc. Apple has also developed an API for third-party developers to allow you post to your desired social network from any relevant app.

There are several other enhancements to the earlier versions (such as Notifications, Spaces, full screen apps, and more) that make Mountain Lion more robust.

In spite of a bounty of cool stuff, Mac users still need to worry about one thing: data loss. Bad programming, hardware failures, and improper shutdowns are common reasons for data loss on Macintosh. If your system files get corrupt, it may lead to further kernel panics and boot failures. To recover from these data loss disasters, you might have to turn on a data recovery app that can effectively run on the latest OS X ‘Mountain Lion’ to retrieve all your lost, deleted, or formatted data.

Vishal is a geek, Mac expert and a data recovery professional. My motive is to make user aware about the Mac data recovery loss and recovery choices.

Today, many people are searching for ways to bring their work on the road and stay productive while they travel. Online file storage and sharing services finally make that possible. They’re an appealing alternative to USB external hard drives that can often break or become lost. Read on to find out how you can stay connected to technology, yet untethered while you see the world.

Stay on Task

Fortunately, you can still handle your deliverables even if you’re across the country from your coworkers. Choose to either upload your files via a desktop platform or online interface so you can transfer them via your own laptop, or while you sit in an Internet cafe. Sometimes, your superiors might be resistant to the idea of you traveling while there’s work to be done at home. However, when you use a reliable file storage system to upload your projects and presentations for your coworkers to see, you’ll prove that it’s possible for you to meet deadlines even in the face of differing time zones or countries.

Lighten your Load

Whether you’re traveling to the next town, or across the world, it’s a relief if you can tote around everything you need without feeling overburdened. When you use an online service to upload and share your files, you can have the peace of mind of knowing that you can access your files from wherever you are without having to bring along extra computer gear in your luggage.

Find Places to Connect

There are several iPad and iPhone apps that enable you to find Internet access by zip code, country or city (although it’s a good idea to have a list of places that you can go online before you leave your home country). These apps fit with the spirit of spontaneous decisions. If you decide to take a quick trip to a neighboring country during your usual travels, you can quickly find out where you can get online with just a few swipes of your fingertip.

Communicate with Coworkers

Before you head out on your travels, make sure that you’re open with coworkers about where you’re going to be, and for how long. Also, try to give them an idea of when you might be online or uploading files for them to view. If you plan to use password protection for your files, ensure that anyone who also needs to view them is informed of the password in a secure manner.

Today, it’s more possible than ever to tackle your workload from almost anywhere that has an internet connection. Online file storage and sharing services let you keep all your important files in a single location so that you can view them whenever you want, and let people you work with do the same. At first, your absence from a traditional office environment might take some getting used to, but once you prove that you’ve figured out all the main necessities before your departure, you should be more able to showcase that you can thrive in a mobile workplace.

Fans of the online video game store Steam will be delighted to hear that a new feature called “Big Picture” will let them take their favorite games to their living room.

In addition, Big Picture boasts a “First-Person Web Browser”, which means that you can surf the web using your controller right from the comfort of your couch.

In order to make Steam TV and game controller friendly, designers crafted large tile-based interfaces for the game library and the game store . Also, a unique “DaisyWheel” makes entering text faster and easier. Simply navigate between groups of four letters using the d-pad or analog sticks and tap a corresponding face button to choose a letter.

Since this feature is currently available in the Steam Beta, you will have to turn on Beta Participation for your client by going to Steam -> Settings. Click “Change” in the Beta Participation section, and select “Steam Beta Update” from the dropdown menu that appears.

Big Picture is currently only supported on Windows, but Mac and Linux users can expect to see it in a future official release.
