    Is a VPN really worth it?

    Several months ago I replied to someone that, "your VPN is not safe from hacking". He mocked me. Now, about once a week I see an article about a VPN being hacked. I used to use a VPN to bypass geo-restrictions for UK, Canadian and Australian TV. I know that the UK and Australia have now found a...

    Dirty little Blu Ray secret?

    I know this is pretty late to the party, but am I mistaken or is there no REALLY good way to play Blu Ray discs on a HTPC? I've recently bought a couple of Blu Ray sets on sale only to discover that despite having a Blu Ray DRIVE in my HTPC, I cannot play them. One of the sets had digital...

    15 Gmail Tips and Plugins

    Don't know whether to give jimmike a Thumbs Up or Down. I don't like this style of article either since click through to read is just plain inconvenient given where I usually read. But I learned long ago that you just have to hit the print button, if you can find one, to get a one page version...

    Is IE9 or Yahoo! Mail the Problem?

    Over the past week or so I've noticed that Yahoo! Mail in IE9 has become slow to respond. Any thoughts? (Other than changing the applications I'm using.)

    Want to Create BOOTABLE Clone Drive of my OS/System Drive

    I agree with Hawkeye22 about a real time clone. I just screwed up my RAID1 registry and it immediately mirrored the corruption so now I have two drives that won't boot. RAID1 is a solution for HARDWARE failure only. On the other hand if you really do need to be back up and running immediately...

    Blu-Ray: Internal or External

    To begin Tom's might want to update its categories to reflect Blu-Ray. Either change CD/DVD to generic optical or add Blu-Ray to the descriptions. I couldn't figure out where the best place to post this question, but I'm confident that Tom's users will point me in the right direction as they...

    Hijack, Redirect, What do I call this?

    While I appreciate these replies, the problem is not that MY COMPUTER is hijacked, it is that the WEB SITE is hijacked. (I'm using caps for emphasis, I should probably learn how to use the highlight function.) The issue is that one web site I visit redirects me shortly after arrival. This is...

    Hijack, Redirect, What do I call this?

    What is it called when you visit a web site and are then redirected to another site and a dialog box pops up and says something like "Your computer may be infected, click here for a free scan."? This only occurs on one specific web site. As far as I can tell my system is not infected. I simply...
