ASUS' ZenBook 3 - You Can't Be Too Thin Or Too Fast

ASUS' ZenBook 3 is thinner, lighter and faster than the MacBook. ASUS has announced a new ultrabook that only weighs 2 pounds, is 12.9 mm thin, and can be configured with a Core I7, a 1 Terabyte SSD, and 16 GB of RAM. Insane specs, in a thin, light body. Of course, that configuration will probably cost close to $2,000. I am perfectly happy with my Samsung Spin, which has 4 GB of RAM, a Core I7, 256 GB SSD, and weighs 2.9 pounds. I am suspicious of how comfortable the keyboard can be in such a thin device; but, there is no question that the battle for thinnest, lightest most powerful is on.

GoodSync: Do You Know Where Your Files Are?

GoodSync: File Synchronization Software, File Backup, File Sync. I just upgraded to Version 10 of GoodSync Pro. The Pro version is well worth the $29.95 charge, as you have unlimited jobs and files. We all have essential files on our computer that we can't afford to lose. Of course, imaging the entire drive, in rolling backups performed on a daily or regular basis is important. Some of you prefer backing up to the cloud, which takes longer, but may be safer in the long run. I have client documents, photos, financial information, years of receipts and scans of paper records, tax records, and personal records that I must preserve indefinitely. I have tried about every backup system known to man, and I haven't found any better than Goodsync. I backup my essential files to a micro SD card in my computer, and to a USB drive. I run the sync program at least every other day, and I try to keep several iterations of the current backup set around, just in case. So, I ask again. Do you know where your files are? Be careful out there.

#ParrotSunday - Rio Goes To Work

I normally don't like selfies. However, I make an exception when they include one of my parrots. Rio is helping me work in this one. Or not.

Memorial Day - A Day For Remembering

Memorial Day - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. You may have the day off tomorrow. You may relax and enjoy yourself. But, take some time for somber reflection on the sacrifice made by men and women who died while serving their country in the military. That is what the day is for. This is Martin Mahlon Georges, my father, who died while serving in the Army Air Corps, in a training plane crash in Albuquerque, New Mexico, when I was 5 years old. I have flashes of memory of him; but, no more than that. His sacrifice impacted many lives, and there are millions like him. Say a prayer for them tomorrow.  

Google - We Don't Need No Stinkin' Passwords

Google set to kill passwords by end of this year with 'Project Abacus'. What if your computer or device didn't need a password to verify who you are? What if it could analyze your voice, face, and the way you swipe the screen? We all have unique identifiers that can be analyzed by our devices, with the help of Google engineer created algorithms. Of course, having a computer, or device, or Google, have that depth of knowledge just by the way we look, sound and move is a little creepy. In addition, law enforcement will cheer this development since physical attributes probably aren't protected from search; just like fingerprints. A password, or key, inputted into a device from our brain cannot be forced from us. What do you think? Will the convenience be worth it?

Google Photos - Every Move You Make, Every Photo You Take

Google Photos Is 1 Year Old -- Here's What's Next For Photos | Digital Trends. In the one year since its introduction, Google Photos has taken over the Internet, with 200 million users. It is such a joy to be able to know that every photo is stored, catalogued, and available with a click on every device. With the seemingly limitiless storage capacity of Google Drive, and the power of the Google Search algorithms, I can't contemplate using any other method to store my photos. Thanks, Google, and Happy Birthday, Google Photos.

HoverCam Mini 5 - Document Camera In Your Pocket

HoverCam Mini 5 Document Camera HCM5R B&H Photo Video. I have been fine tuning my presentation go bag. This Saturday, I located my HoverCam Mini 5, which is a tiny camera that sends documents and solid object images to the computer via USB. In the old days we used huge projectors and equipment to perform this task; now, I can project any image with a tiny six inch long device that plugs into any USB port. While modern attorneys usually have pdf copies of trial documents on computer, and project them directly, the HoverCam permits the manipulation of solid objects, and can also record video for real time projection, or later use. Just one more thing to take with me to presentations.
