Choosing the Right Domain Name for Your Business
It’s been declared over and over that the best domain names are already taken. As of the publication of this post, Verisign reported over 118 million .com registrations. It’s certainly not easy to pick the domain name that’s right for your business, but it can be done. The first and most important consideration when choosing a domain name is that it’s easy to remember, easy to type, and easy to spell correctly.
New Product Offering: an Innovative New Data Security Solution
Every day, it seems like there’s a report of a new data breach at a major company. This live map showing attempted hacks on just ONE honeypot server is sobering. Even if you’re not a huge corporation, your data is still one of your company’s most valuable assets. Preventing digital theft of intellectual property, trade secrets, or confidential information is critical. The problem is that even if your in-house network is secure, your employees likely are using mobile devices that represent opportunities for security breaches. Microsoft Windows still represents the most used operating system, but it’s nowhere near the 95% market share it enjoyed in the past. In fact, PCs themselves are being overtaken by an array of smartphones, tablets, and personal devices that are constantly requesting access to your network from different locations and at different times. Users are too busy worrying about their day-to-day job duties to concern themselves with security policies, even if they are tech-savvy enough to stay away from malware, phishing schemes, and other infiltration by bad actors.
Cool Tool: A Review of the EyeFi Mobi Card
If you have a DSLR camera, you have doubtless experienced this scenario. You take your SD card out of the camera to download your photos. Then you take your camera out to do some more photography, but… you forgot to put the SD card back in. No photos today, sir! EyeFi Mobi cards have been out for a few years, but until recently we thought we thought they were supremely indulgent. How hard is to stick an SD card in your computer or card reader? But lately, we’ve been wishing we had access to our DSLR photos on our mobile devices. Theoretically, you can purchase an “On the Go” cable (also known as an OTG cable) that allows you to connect your DSLR and your smart phone, but a lot of the cables sold on eBay and the like are not very high quality. We purchased an OTG cable from Fry’s that didn’t work at all—very frustrating. Finally we decided to pull the trigger on an EyeFi Mobi card, and WOW.
