If you’re reading this, then it’s a great reminder that it’s time to do a backup. Each month we see several people who have lost data due to a bad hard drive or data loss. Sometimes, we can help them, and other times, we can’t depending on how bad the damage is. Your best bet is to have an online backup program in addition to a local hard drive, but either one is better than none!

Several customers were fans of iGoogle and were bummed to see if go last summer. While several alternatives have come out, none were quite as customizable and easy to use as iGoogle was…except for iChrome. Chrome users can download iChrome, which is an iGoogle look-alike and continue to get news, weather, and other top stories on their homepage automatically without the annoyances of advertisements and auto-playing videos that pages like portal.wowway.com and yahoo.com have gone to. It’s a cool option if you haven’t checked it out before. Go to http:/www.omgchrome.com/ichrome-new-tab-page-helpful-useful/

Interesting new product offering…and maybe enough to get people to think twice about alternatives like Open Office or Libre Office.

With the costs rising on Microsoft Office products, many less-frequent users look to competitors like Open Office or Google Drive to fulfill their word processing needs. Google just upped the game by allowing for plugins for their Google Drive products. As of launch day, there are several useful plugins, some that make Google Drive seem more like Microsoft Office (there’s a cool track changes plugin), and there are some that boast of features that Office doesn’t have (the HelloFax plugin lets you easily send an occasional fax). Lifehacker discusses some of the popular ones here: http://lifehacker.com/the-best-add-ons-for-google-drive-1541643206?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+lifehacker%2Ffull+%28Lifehacker%29
