Lost or Stolen Laptop - San Diego Laptop Owners be Prepared!
If you are concerned about the possibility of your laptop being lost or stolen laptop - here is the software for you!
Adeona is a software package that will allow you to locate your laptop if lost or stolen!
It will report on the IP address the the laptop accessed the Internet. You then give this IP number to the police and they will be able to get the account information for the IP address. If you are fortunate you have a good chance to recover the laptop.
I loaded the software on my XP machine. It works as described by the developers. I was able to retrieve the last several IP address that my XP machine was used to access the Internet.
The software is "Open Source" (free) and should be on every machine you own.
If you need help to install this software, please go to my home page: Computer Repair and contact me.
You should also review how you are backing up you computers: Backup?

Google Chrome - New Browser!
From the Google Blog, (http://googleblog.blogspot.com/2008/09/fresh-take-on-browser.html)
"A fresh take on the browser
9/01/2008 02:10:00 PM At Google, we have a saying: “launch early and iterate.” While this approach is usually limited to our engineers, it apparently applies to our mailroom as well! As you may have read in the blogosphere, we hit "send" a bit early on a comic book introducing our new open source browser, Google Chrome. As we believe in access to information for everyone, we've now made the comic publicly available -- you can find it here. We will be launching the beta version of Google Chrome tomorrow in more than 100 countries..."
For all of you that for one reason or another don't like Internet Explorer (IE6, 7 or 8) this is the browser to watch and download.
This software is a result of the "war" between the old server/PC Centric Microsoft and the Internet focused Google. No entity has created a browser with as much technical resources invested, software and human interface design skills and Internet understanding than Google.
