You may or may not remember but in Tech Tuesday: Episode 6 I mentioned the software application Miro.
Well being as I have been using it more and more I thought I would write a bit more about it.
Miro
In case you missed it last time Miro is software that will allow you to "subscribe" to various channels across the internet and bring videos right to your computer. These videos range from full length prime time TV episodes to amateur TV content to videos from around the world.
The nice thing about Miro is that you can "subscribe" to just about anything at no cost. Now while the quality of content varies there are some great "shows" in many categories.
This week in tech we will be looking at ways to recover lost files.
Do you think that since you emptied your recycle bin you cannot get those files back?... think again. Below is a list of some free ways to recover those files.
Restoration
Restoration is a freeware application that makes recovering files easy. All you have to do is download the file, unzip it, and double click on Restoration.exe and you are well on your way to recovering files (no need to install).
I have personally used this product and it worked well.
This week in tech we will be going over the newest Mozilla browser: Firefox 3.0
Mozilla has done it, after years of development, Firefox 3.0 has been released to the masses. At the time of this writing according to Mozilla over 1.4 million copies have been downloaded, at the rate of over 8,000 downloads a minute. You can see live counters at http://downloadcounter.sj.mozilla.com/. Don't forget that we mentioned on the message board that Mozilla is trying to set a world record with the most software downloads.
Wondering what is so great about Firefox 3? Read on...
Well we are back for another exciting episode of Tech Tuesday. Last week we presented exciting new additions to Firefox, this week we will be delve into the topic of computer security.
Computer Security
You have probably heard of hackers, viruses, spam, and Internet scams but you may be unaware of solutions to help keep your computer and yourself safe. Well in this article we will discuss various free things you can do to make yourself more safe. We will focus on Anti-Virus, Anti-Spyware, Firewalls, and Safe Internet Practices.
Being as this is the first "episode" of the weekly Tech Tuesday I thought I would give you a little background info before I start blabbing about Tech.
Every Tuesday I will post a new article about technology, said articles will range from software to computers to GPS to just about anything you can think of. If you want an article about something in particular let me know and I can work on one.
About me: I am not a computer science major or anything related, I simply have an interest in technology. I like to mess around with technology, read tech-related magazines, and build websites etc. Though, I do not come off too geeky. Anyway, enough with the intro .. onto the article!
Extending Firefox
So if you have not heard of Firefox, you really need to read up on it, it makes IE look rather sad.
Anyway, while the standard installation is sweet and all you really need to add some extensions to make your browsing experience all the more fun...
