What happens when BitTorrent meets Hamachi meets remote desktop meets networking? Well you get something similar to Remobo (no longer available). Remobo lets you create an IPN which is an Instant Private Netw
Most of us fire up Microsoft Word for our run of the mill document needs. Most of us don't peek under the hood to see and use the other ready at hand tools that are just a few clicks away. I too accuse myself of this common shortcoming. It is perhaps a dire need or a serendipitous event that lead me to exploit a feature until now igno

Although not mandatory on all PCs, having some type of protection on your computer today is almost always a must. The problem that most tech savvy users have with them, is that most, just don't work and most eat up way to many resources. Having a way to actually test some of the options out there, is a fantastic way to make your final decision. So you try it out...Download the latest AVG, Symantec or NOD32 trial and see which comes out on top with each of these to

Click one of the computer names that you want to access. Choose "Remote Control" from the menu that shows up. Enter your buddy's password and you'll get remote access to that computer.
