Gmail Makes Email Switching Easier.

By Kevin Purdy, 5:30 AM on Thu May 14 2009

Been looking to move a friend or relative to Gmail, but they complain the move from AOL, Hotmail, or their ISP email would be painful? Let ‘em know Gmail now offers an easy switching tool.

New sign-ups to Gmail from here on out should see a feature in their settings, under a renamed “Accounts and Import” tab, that can make an account switch with just a few checkboxes and one button push. Contacts, old mail, and new mail for the next 30 days can be grabbed from a fairly big list of supported email provider.

SearchMyFiles lets you Search Windows without Leaving Traces

May. 13th, 2009 By Karl L. Gechlik

I recently had to perform a search on a computer that is not connected to our network and I was not allowed to leave any trace behind that I was there, installed any applications or ran any searches on the machine. I had to search the machine for all files created in the last 5 days and save my results.

Install a Minimal Ubuntu Desktop.

By Kevin Purdy, 5:30 AM on Wed May 13 2009, 9,596 views

If you like the looks and features of Ubuntu 9.04, but want a lighter, swifter version of it, try this minimalist installation that can knock memory usage down by up to 75 percent.

Ubuntu Forums user TheShiv likes to build his system from the ground up, and doesn’t like a lot of software and services he’ll never use. So he installs a core, bare-bones system from either the Ubuntu Server Edition CD or a Minimal CD, then, when he gets access to a command prompt and he’s wired to the internet (presumably through a LAN cable, though perhaps wireless works as well), he uses two or three commands to install enough features to get a working desktop, but very little that won’t be used day to day.

Phishing and Spam IQ Quiz by SonicWALL.

SonicWALL Phishing and Spam IQ Quiz

Formerly the MailFrontier Phishing IQ Test

Chances are that in the past week you’ve received an e-mail in your inbox that pretends to be from your bank, e-commerce vendor, or other on-line site. Hopefully you’ve realized that many times this e-mail is fake – a phishing or spam e-mail. The sender phisher of these fake e-mails wants you to click on the link in the e-mail and go to a phishing Web site – which will look just like the Web site of the company being phished. Once on the phishers Web site they hope to obtain your account, financial, credit and even identity information. Of course not every e-mail you receive is a phish. In fact you should expect your bank or e-commerce vendor to send you legitimate e-mail. But how can you tell the difference? Well that’s what the Phishing IQ test is all about – give it a try.

Windows only: We took a strong liking to controlling multiple computers with a single keyboard and mouse nearly two years ago, and the concept’s still cool, but the software hasn’t updated. Synergy-Plus keeps the multi-control party going.

yWriter – A Word Processor For Creative Writing

The tools used in the creative writing process differ as wildly as the authors; some perform best when using old school pen and paper, while others prefer top-notch text processors.
I, for one, used to put my words down in Microsoft Word, although I never quite thought it to be the ultimate tool for the job.
