One man found out a few weeks ago that mixing technology and sweat is not a good combination. Reports claim a 20-year-old student known only as Wu opened his computer case to stop it from overheating but as his sweaty legs came into contact with the machine he electrocuted himself, delivering a deadly shock. Eastday.com reports the sweat triggered a shock of 380 volts.

Shocking!

Looks like I’m getting a new TV set soon! We’re renovating the basement and I think I’m going to turn it into a den / rec room. So, of course, if it’s a den I’ll need a new TV … right? You’re following my logic right?

Last time we bought a new TV we got a DLP HDTV. It’s nice but we had a lot of trouble with the first brand that we bought. We went through three of them before changing brands! I don’t even want to think about those months of having a brand new very expensive TV that didn’t work.

So this time round I’m thinking about getting an LCD TV. An HDTV of course. Now that I’m used to one I don’t think I’d want to give that up. So I’ve been reading write ups to find out what the best lcd tvs are so that we don’t run into any problems when we buy one.

I think it’s good to do some research before you purchase something that you’re going to be using for 10 years or so. It’s not like we didn’t do any research when we bought our DLP tv, we did, it’s just that the brand that we thought had the nicest picture turned out to be one heck of a lemon!

The technology isn’t as new now, especially if we go with an LCD TV so I’m sure with a little research we won’t have a problem at all.

It’ll be a few months before we are ready to buy a TV so If any of you have HD LCD TVs and want to point me towards some brands that you’ve tried I’d love to hear your suggestions.

There’s nothing I hate more than getting a virus on my computer or encountering a website while surfing that causes my system to crash. These things always seem to happen when you are in the middle of writing an email, or working on a document don’t they?

How often have you lost files that you’ve been working on and haven’t saved, or that were saved in the past, but were open for editing?

It would be great if you could easily recover files that were damaged by virus attack, accidental formating, or maybe ones that were in the recycle bin that you deleted by mistake?

Well … there is a program that can recover damaged or deleted files and folders. It’s called Active File Recovery, and it’s easy to use. You can also use the program to recover photographs and other media files, even those deleted from flash memory, or data that has been lost due to formating a memory card.

Not only is this program really easy to use, but it also acts as an efficient data recovery tool. The Active File Recovery Software Enterprise Installation package comes with a CD/DVD ISO image that you can burn in order to get a bootable DVD or CD with a lightweight version of windows Vista that will run in RAM.

So if your system crashes and you can’t get it to boot up you can just slip the DVD or CD into your system and you’ll be able to get it to boot. This will allow you to get into your computer and perhaps use system restore to return your system to a time when it was working properly, say before you installed a program that corrupted files on your computer.

Being able to boot your crashed system will also allow you to use the Active File Recovery program to check for damaged or deleted files as well. Perhaps simply recovering a file that you deleted or that was damaged before you system crashed will be all that’s needed to get your computer working properly again.

Another thing that I like about Active File Recovery is that you can also perform a Partition Recovery. So, if you have format damage to a partition, or you’ve had disk partition loss you can repair it with the professional version of Active File Recovery.

If you’d like to use this software for your business you can get a Corporate license. There are three versions of this program - Standard, professional and Enterprise with prices ranging from $29.95 to $99. Each product comes with free updates and technical support.

If you’d like to try before you buy you can download a demo copy of this program on the main page of the site. Check it out, it sounds like a great software program.
