Just a couple of days back the brand new version of Mozilla Firefox (3.5) was released. This version of the popular browser is known to be feature-rich and much faster than the previous versions. More than 5 million downloads of Firefox 3.5 have been reported in just about 3 days.

But not all add-ons / extensions are ported on to Firefox 3.5 by the developers yet, and hence many of you might be holding back yourself to test the brand new version of Firefox. If so, then you can download Portable version of Firefox 3.5 to get a first hand experience of the new browser. You can simply export and import the add-ons and their settings using Firefox Environment Backup Extension (FEBE).

The portable version can be run directly from USB if needed and can be used in parallel to the older versions of Firefox. It is currently compatible with Windows OS only. Simply extract it to a folder and start the executable. No installation required.

Planning for a backup for all the important things in your life is a must. Especially when it comes to your Computer Data the probability of losing it is very high (due to hard disk crashes, power surge, laptop being stolen etc). Hence, one can look for an online service to backup the data.

I would not like to go into the discussion about “if online data backup is safe or not“. But storing your valuable data online gives you easy access to it, in the event of disaster and, even more usefully, lets you retrieve your files remotely from any location. There are lots of reliable and secured ways of taking data backup online but most of them come under Premium section. If you are looking for a free version of Online Data backup services then read ahead.

It has taken a lot of effort to come up with this list. It would be great if you consider STUMBLING or DIGGING the article if you like it.

3. Revolutionary online Backup – Adrive

ADrive’s Basic plan offers individual users 50GB of online storage and backup for all file types for FREE. The Basic plan is intended for individual or personal use only, but I guess that should suffice for any personal needs.

Its true that many Tech Bloggers jump in to write about promotional offers like this. But not everyone writes them without doing a background research on the source of information. Some of the other Bloggers who missed out writing about this have started pointing fingers at me and my responsibility as a tech blogger and all I can say is “good job mate”. But, I had done a little homework before I posted that.

This was the search results for “Kaspersky India” and I thought it is genuine enough to post These were the first 2 results, mind you.

Lite-On developed the Smart Erase technique to give users a reliable way of erasing the data on CDs and DVDs without damaging the disk. This technique is compatible to all CD-R and DVD-R disks, not only their rewritable counterparts.

Smart Erase overwrites the data contained on the disk with random characters much like the tools that can erase files or the free space of a hard drive so that the data is not recoverable afterwards. Nero 7 Essentials which ships with the retail versions of each DVD writer will have that feature build in which can be used in combination with one of the announced Lite-On DVD writers.

The new technique supports two modes: Quick Erase will only erase data in the lead in track and the first track of the CD / DVD while Full Erase will erase the full disk.
