It is really very frustrating when you lose data due to hard disk crash or any other computer problem. Whether it is family photos, music collection or any financial data, keeping it safe is your responsibility. Thus, regularly backing up your data and settings is highly recommended.

Google is the most popular tool for various things. Along with search, it offers number of services which are used by a lot of people. Here, we will discuss some of the not-so-famous services of Google which can be very useful for you and your business.

Most of the times you find the Windows Update dialog pop up which direct you to reboot your computer. But, this is a real hindrance when you are very busy.

It is really very irritating when Windows 7 or Vista changes the Sleep/Shutdown button into an "Install Updates and Shutdown" button. Here is a solution for this.

Suppose, you intentionally deleted some data from your system with an objective to avoid clutter, but the very next moment you found that you had done a blunder actually -indeed a bizarre situation. But don't worry. Techvedic, a leading tech support vendor, goes the extra mile to help you recover Windows XP Recycle Bin.

Developers continue to do crazy things to show us what can be done with CSS3. The latest is a fully animated Twitter fail whale by Steve Dennis: The idea for this came to me this morning after being greeted first thing this morning by another Twitter outage. I'd been looking for something to stretch my CSS muscles on, and the Fail Whale seemed perfect. Also I think the animation only adds to his (or her?) charm. How was this made? The short answer is very painfully, by hand, using trial and error. Curves are done using various uneven border-radius properties, stranger angles (such as the strings) are masked using containers with overflow: hidden; set on them. I hope someone else gets a bit of enjoyment out of my wasted Sunday. It was a fun experiment that I don't plan on repeating any time soon. Take a look at the source to see the mass of code such as: PLAIN TEXTCSS:@-webkit-keyframes flutter1 {  0%   { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }  50%  { -webkit-transform:rotate(-25deg) }  100% { -webkit-transform:rotate(0deg) }}.right .wing {  background: transparent !important;  z-index: 22 !important;  width: 15px;  height: 18px;  bottom: 4px;  left: 8px;  -webkit-animation: 'flutter1' 0.1s linear;  -webkit-animation-iteration-count: infinite;} 

Magnifying glass experiment using CSS3. Only works in Google Chrome at the moment and has very limited usage capability. But the initial idea is there and hope to extend with more features later on.

Remarkable. Very well thought out

This is going to help me. Thanks!

wow ! what a thought. u have done a wonder. Most useful to the people doing html and css. thanks a lot.

The Consumerist has noticed a seemingly slight but very important (and disturbing) change in Facebook's terms of service, regarding user-generated content. In short, all of the content you've ever uploaded on Facebook can be used, modified or even sublicensed by Facebook in every possible way - even if you quit the service.

HTML email newsletters have come a long way in the five years since this article was first published. HTML email is still a very successful communications medium for both publishers and readers. Publishers can track rates for email opens, forwards, and clickthroughs, and thereby can measure reader interest in products and topics; readers are presented with information that's laid out like a web page, in a way that's more visually appealing, and much easier to scan and navigate, than plain text email.

Browser idiosyncracies, spam registers, and various mail clients are just some of the pitfalls that must be faced by email marketers. Make sure your HTML email gets through with Tim's essential how-to.

From the creators of TwitterCounter - the popular chiclet that displays your Twitter follower count (see our sidebar) - comes TwitterRemote, a very simple widget that functions much like MyBlogLog, except it shows you recent visitors to your site that are also Twitter users.

This is nice, in a slightly creepy, and yet delightfully geeky kind of way: a fellow named Ed Morita decided to tattoo a WordPress logo on his forearm. It's not just a plain, boring logo type of tattoo, there's all sorts of things happening here: skin is peeled off, wires and circuits are shown, and there's a nice big "W" as the centerpiece.

Remember when you were young and you were tasked with the role of wagon leader and solely responsible for the fate of your fellow pioneers as you traversed the dangerous trail connecting Independence, Missouri to Oregon's Willamette Valley? If you're anything like me, you failed miserably at your duties, with settlers dying off faster than you could hunt and catch food. But very soon, you'll be able to redeem yourself.

It's an addictive little habit, that Twitter. But what if there were ways for you to still keep your ugly tweeting habit while staying productive at the same time? Since I can't fully support the total indulgence in the tool that has the tech-world (and beyond) glued to their favorite Twitter client, I thought I would share a few very useful ways to make the service much more productive while you're living inside of it.

Did you like my previous CSS tutorial on how to create gradient text effects? I'm using the same trick to show you how to decorate your images and photo galleries without editing the source images. The trick is very simple. All you need is an extra tag and apply a background image to create the overlaying effect. It is very easy and flexible - see my demos with over 20 styles, from a simple image icon to a rounded corner to a masked layer (both decorative and complex).

I usually had a big problem on handling more social media website account. I think most of the users come across the same problem. Recently i had a chance to hear about Pixelpipe. On the very first look i really amazed about the features. Initially this site used to post your digital pictures, videos, and audio files to a growing number of different services with only a few clicks. This site seems to be similar as ping.fm, which allows post to text based messages.
