How Secure Is Your Document Sharing Provider

Image
Companies and Enterprises are constantly on the look-out for a reliable and enhanced way of sharing files among their employees without leaking vital information. This is where file-sharing services such as Dropbox and SugarSync come into play. Box, Google Drive and other cloud hosting providers offer users the ability to sync files and folders, make them accessible everywhere and emphasize on security thus a lot of businesses seek their well-regarded services. The past few weeks have been overwhelming for the providers with the trending news of Dropbox going through so far another security breach. This begs the question, how secure is your document sharing provider? Dropbox being one of the most reliable cloud service providers had recently reset most of its client's passwords owing to a data breach that had occurred in 2012. Nevertheless, even with all these steps of ensuring user security they were hacked and data stolen from its users. Owing to this, cloud service...

There are many good things about turning your iPhone to a wireless hotspot. For example, you are travelling somewhere and you are carrying your laptop or tablet. You have two options, you can work offline on the tablet or laptop, or browse the internet on a very small screen.

Natural and DIY Skincare and Chemicals: You Ask, I Answer

Image
Here's my second "You Ask, I Answer" post, where I consolidate some common (and not so common) reader questions. Reader questions aren't a new thing on my blog, and I've written a bunch of posts based on reader questions over time , including some of my personal favourite science-y posts, like my post on parabens , and my post on talc . But I thought it would be nice if I could share some of my reader Q&As with everyone else too! Today's question on DIY and natural skincare comes from Chelsi: Chelsi asks: I want to ask u something. It's so hard for me to get organic and natural skincare that avoids not using harmful chemicals...the fact is there are lots of brands outside there use chemical ingredients... I want to make DIY skincare but I think i don't have enough time to make it while I have to work and after work I am tired and just wanna take a rest..So , do you think it's okay to still using the skincare which still contains chemical ingre...

Productivity Tool Preview - Able2Extract Professional 11

Image
The majority of our office documentation comes in PDF - the most known, universal format for viewing and storing documents. No matter the industry, profession or experience, everyone is still using it. The PDF�s main trait is its non-editable nature. You cannot edit or change any content inside a PDF document, by default. Two reasons why: Security - PDF format is the most secure type currently available, thus you are unable to easily alter documents. Portability - PDF files tend to always keep the layout so they can be viewed and shared across devices and platforms. Because you cannot copy or edit a PDF file, various companies develop software to help us solve that particular problem. One of those tools is Able2Extract, whose latest version is set to be released on December 5. This brand new office productivity solution is called Able2Extract Professional 11 and we had the pleasure of reviewing it prior to its release. Here is what you will have a chance to see in the latest build: PD...

Wikipedia Becoming More Acceptable in the Classroom

Image
Wikipedia has been the go-to source for many people over the last decade. Despite it being considered non-reliable, it is still one of the first places people look due to its ranking so high in search results. Academia is one of the industries that have not had a good relationship with Wikipedia throughout the years but this could be changing thanks to recent trends. Due to Wikipedia not being considered a reliable source, many colleges and universities have banned its use by students for research projects. However, the Los Angeles Times recently reported that some college professors are actually using Wikipedia for classes , something that would not have been allowed just a few years ago. Even though academia has shunned Wikipedia in the past, there seems to be a growing trend to allow its use in schools. There are many reasons why this could be occurring but here are some of the most common. Wikipedia Now Being Edited by Experts  Wikipedia is no longer edited by a small group of ...
