With quicker internet connections becoming available we can do allot of new things. Pogoplug is an interesting product that allows you to share USB drives on the internet without allot of hassle. According to the website it takes about sixty seconds to set up and does not require you to modify any firewall settings. You can also connect up to four USB drives to the device. The main thing I like about this product is you only have the initial cost. There is no ongoing monthly fee that you have to pay in order to use the device. Check out the links below to find out more information on the Pogoplug.

I am a big believer in learning about life from other people. Thankfully I have found some important people to follow and have applied some of their principals. The ones I have been able to get myself to adopt have been life changing. Bob Parsons has a list on his website that states his sixteen rules for success. There are several of them that apply to the technology field. My favorite one on the list is get and stay out of your comfort zone. I completely agree with this rule one hundred percent. I have made the most progress in life when I tried new things. Almost all of the time I look back and wonder what I was so worried about. So the second favorite one on his list is always be moving forward. I also agree with this point one hundred percent. You should also be trying to make yourself better. If you stop doing this not only will you not grow but you will start to move backwards over time. If you get a chance stop over and read all sixteen. I think you will probably agree with all sixteen points as something you could and should live by.

Google just released their newest service which is public DNS. DNS is one of the most important services when it come to using the internet. Most of the times your local ISP does not have the resources to set up a good reliable DNS infrastructure. Most end users don’t realize that the average user performs hundreds of DNS requests each day. Going to some web pages only require one look up, but advanced pages make several DNS look ups.
The main reason to use the service is reliability, speed and increased security. For advanced users one thing to note is that the service does not support DNSSEC. Google has put in other measures to help with overall security. I have been using the service for the past couple of days and have not had any issues. Google’s DNS service is a great upgrade from my ISP service. So would encourage to try out the new service. I doubt you will go back.
