Back Up Your Carousel of Nostalgia: Don Draper Would Approve
My dad had the coolest Nikkormat film camera and lenses. He shot vacations and family events almost exclusively on 35mm color slides. He taught me about f-stops and depth of field and Super 8 movies. Our basement darkroom reeked of stop bath and always had black-and-white prints hanging to dry. We even had a separate circuit for the red safelight.

Service Providers: Fight Ransomware, Become a Superhero to Your Customers
We’ve spend the last few weeks examining various aspects of ransomware, a type of malware that encrypts computer hard drives and demands an online ransom of hundreds or thousands of dollars for the decryption key, without which users can never access their files again. In both its effectiveness and its astonishingly rapid proliferation, it represents a unique new threat both to consumers and businesses. Its ease of use by low-skilled criminals, highly-leveraged distribution model, and versatility at defeating a range of endpoint security measures is unprecedented in the history of malware. By denying access to critical applications, a ransomware attack can cost a business tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars, damage the brand, and even (when hospitals and public safety organizations are the victims) put lives at risk.

Photos, Videos, and Contacts: How Valuable Is Your Mobile’s Data?
Just like millions of other people, my wife uses her mobile phone for almost everything – to keep track of important activities, search for babysitters, look up tutors for our daughters, order food, mobile banking, paying bills and much more. Mobile phones are great – they save a lot of time. But most of us store data on our phones without even considering what might happen if they’re lost. Just pause for a moment and think: does your phone have the only copy of your photos, contacts, and other important info? Will you be able to recover it if you lose your phone?

Hyper-V Story of Bill, Ted, and Matthew
Our story began many months ago, in a small, but very techy town on the eastern coast of Florida. The small office building couple of blocks from the beach was home to two young, small, but promising companies – let’s call them Bee Business Solutions and Tee Technologies. Both companies had an IT team of one – Bill handled Bee’s systems, and Ted worked in Tee. Needless to say, they were best buddies. Almost at the same time, they realized that their companies have run out of server capacity, as they needed to run more data workloads. But they didn’t have the budget to buy more servers. So, they decided to use Microsoft Hyper-V virtualization technology on old servers instead.
