The LaptopLock - Free Tracking and Data Protection Solutions

The LaptopLock is a tracking software, A free package offering a solid basis for your own security solution.

LaptopLock is a free offering that eschews a fancy interface for a simple, no-frills look. Signing up for the service is quick, you simply need to enter your email address and a password, and you're taken straight to the online control panel. From here you can add a computer, giving it a name for easy reference. From this page you can download software.

During installation you can choose whether or not show a splash screen when the laptop starts up - it's nice that you're given the choice.

There are no tracking features with this program, so ideally it should be installed alongside a free service that does, such as Prey. What LaptopLock concentrates on is protecting your data if your laptop is lost or stolen; and is broken into three parts. The first security - here you can select the data you want LaptopLock to delete if you flag up your laptop as stolen via the web interface.

Choosing the files and folders is very easy, and you can select to securely delete the data, so that data recovery tools can't access it. If you're not too keen on the scorched earth policy, you can choose to encrypt the files instead.

The second part is notifications. You can select to show a message or play a sound when the missing laptop is in use. The final part is that you can select a program to launch when the laptop is reported stolen - a good chance to run a tracking program, or activate your webcam and upload the photos it takes. The laptop can also be marked as stolen, notifying a recovery team that will begin collecting evidence to hand over to the police. LaptopLock might appear simple, but with it you can make your own laptop security solution.

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD

Creative Mind Data , Hardware Review

Best Price, Top-End Performance | Best Solid State Drive

Where once the SSD was the preserve of enthusiasts with deep pockets, these days there are so many drives to choose from that the struggle to get them out to the market at a competitive price has become especially cut throat.

Kingston HyperX 3K 120GB SSD

As price continue their slow downward fall, the 120/128GB capacity has become the sweet spot, so much so that at these capacities the magic �1 per gigabyte barrier has at last been broken for SSDs. And that's been a long time coming.

To try and leverage a better price point of the HyperX 3K series, Kingston has used 3K NAND memory (hence the 3K tag) instead of the 5K NAND of the original HyperX drives.

The 3K label means the NAND should last up to 3,000 full writes of the new drive's maximum capacity versus the 5,000 full writes of the original HyperX. Because of this the NAND is less expensive helping to drive the price down while retaining the pace you expect of a drive carrying the HyperX branding.

Kingston quote sequential read/write figures of 555MB/s and 510MB/s respectively for the drive, confirmed by a quick bas through the ATTO benchmark. Our drive produced figures of 551MB/s and 512MB/s for read/write speeds respectively.

As with all SandForce controlled drives its handling of incompressible data isn't anywhere near as impressive as it is with compressible files; something that is quite nicely illustrated in the AS SSD benchmark. When tested in the default incompressible mode the drive gives up a sequential write score of 171MB/s. Switching to testing compressible data with CrystalMark this jumps to an impressive 466MB/s.

Hyped Drive

For incompressible performance, then, it drops behind the likes of the Marvel-based Corsair Performance Pro, but eh HyperX 3K still manages to hold its own against the other SandForce drives.

When it comes to the drive's internals, Kingston has turned to Intel for the NAND chips. With eight chips housed on either side of the PCB, and with the SancForce 2281VB1 controlled joining group on the board.

Although the new drive uses NAND with reduced program/erase cycles than the original HyperX drives, in practice most people will come nowhere near the drive's write limits. What it does do, however, is put a drive with enthusiast performance at a price point in reach of a lot more people.

Our review drive was standalone product that comes with just a 3.5in bracket and mounting screws. If you're looking for more extras, then the drive is available in a full upgrade bundle, which adds a 2.5in USB external enclosure, cloning software, a fancy screwdriver and SATA data cable to the mix for �130.

At the standard price tag there is simply nothing not to like. It's great performing drive for a fantastic price. The SandForce controller may not be the fastest any more, but will still make a difference to your PC.

3 Massive Apps for HTC Explorer

Creative Mind Android , HTC

HTC Explorer: A low budget Android Smartphone, Running on Android 2.3.5 Gingerbread, having HTC Sense 3.5 and 3.2inch HVGA resolution Touch-Screen.

A very common �low memory� notification is a serious headache for HTC Explorer users specially for social-network�s geeks. Whenever you try to download more than two or three apps from Google Play Store, that notification will warn you every time that you are using a low budget smartphone with a low internal memory.

There is an option to move apps to SD Card, but apps like Facebook and Twitter causing a big trouble as they do not have a move to SD Card option and they are very big on memory also.

Performance-wise the HTC Explorer is superb, with 600MHz of processor it gives a much high-end output every time. But the problem is to choose apps, which will gently fits in HTC Explorer�s limited memory, to resist its low memory notification.

These three social networking apps will not effect too much on HTC Explorer�s memory as they can be easily move to SD Card to wipe up some additional internal storage.

1. Instagram

Instagram is a very cool and trendy photo sharing & editing app for Android Operating system. Due to very common in-use on social networks these days like Facebook and Twitter, everyone of you would like to install it in your phone but as it requires at least 12MB of space you will definitely not interested to get it although it�s a free app, but it has a move to SD Card option which is a good news. So don�t worry go ahead and get one to show-up your colleagues that you also have a high-end device. To read more about Instagram or download, visit the Google Play Store

2. Flipboard

Flipboard is a kind of Social News Magazine, lets you find and see everything in one place. By bringing together the world's stories and life's great moments, you can stay up to date with the things that matter most. Flip through the news from your Twitter timeline as well as from outlets like the BBC, USA Today and The Verge. See everything from posts and photos shared by friends on Facebook and Instagram to videos from Stephen Colbert and pop culture nuggets from Rolling Stone. Find inspiration for your travel, style and life from places like National Geographic, Oprah and Cool Hunting. It requires only 2.3MB of space to be installed and covers upto only 4.95MB after installation. As it don�t support to move to SD Card option, but its not very worthy on memory. To read more about Filpboard or download, visit the Google Play Store.

3. Plume for Twitter

Google Play store have a specific category on their front cover, �HTC Recommends� , which shows you a large collection of free and paid top apps, inside that I find Plume for Twitter, one of the best Twitter clients for Android, also you can connect your Facebook account with Plume to get updates from your friends. The Twitter for Android app will cover more than 7MB of free space while its not movable to SD Card, the Plume for Twitter will adjust within 3.5MB of space after installation and also movable to SD Card which is definitely makes it better than Twitter for Android. To read more about Plume for Twitter or download, visit the Google Play Store.
