- How to Save Your Old Hard Drive
[Computers-and-Technology:Hardware] So you've finally decided to change that old piece of electronics with a flaming new PC. But, when you think about it, maybe not all of the old stuff is to throw away indiscriminately -- hard drive technology, in particular, doesn't progress as fast as microprocessors technology, and even if that old hard disk can't store that much, you're thinking that, after all, maybe you could still use it as a backup unit. Here are a few tips on how to make that happen.

This article provides you with an easy step-by-step guide to make sure a smooth reformatting process.
- Best Free Backup Utilities
[Computers-and-Technology:Data-Recovery] When introducing for the first time his 'Time Machine' back in October 2007, Steve Jobs briefly mentioned that, based on a survey made by Apple, only about 5% of PC users use an automated backup software to protect their data against hard disk failures or accidental data loss. The aim of Apple's new software would therefore be to radically invert this trend by providing Apple users with a both powerful and easy-to-use tool that would automate the backup process and make the 'rollback' procedure an easy, even enjoyable user experience.

- The Future of Computers and Artificial Intelligence
[Computers-and-Technology:Software] In the last 50 years, the advent of computer has radically changed our daily routines and habits. From huge, roomy, terribly expensive and rather useless machines, computers have managed to become quite the opposite of all the above, seeing an exponential growth in the number of units sold and, stunningly, usability as well.

- The Different Types of Internet Scam
[Internet-and-Businesses-Online:Security] If you frequently surf the Net, you'll have probably stumbled upon countless ads and pages promising you will earn incredible sums with no or very low effort in exchange for paying a small sum to join their programs.

- Reasons to Downgrade from Vista to XP

- Comparing MacBook Air with MacBook Pro
[Computers-and-Technology:Mobile-Computing] So you've seen the latest Apple Keynote and Steve Jobs seemed pretty convincing to you when he presented his latest creation, the MacBook Air.

- How to Use Wikipedia For Your Research
[Internet-and-Businesses-Online] "Welcome to Wikipedia, the encyclopedia that anyone can edit" recites the banner on the front page of the site.

- Philosophy and Advantages Behind Open Source Software
[Computers-and-Technology:Software] To analyze the pros and cons of Open Source (or 'Free') Software model, one must first understand the philosophy in which it is rooted. Suppose you're a student reading a physics book which explains the Theory of Relativity. Now, you are able to read the book, use the notorious formula E=mc^2 to solve all of your exercises and, if you're a particularly brilliant student, why not, even start from there to come up with a new scientific discovery.
- How to Recover Almost Anything

There's no need to panic: luckily, a wealth of different tools have been developed for distract people like you, and yes, you can recover that information in the vast majority of the cases.
- How Babies Learn to Talk
[Home-and-Family:Babies-Toddler] Living in a polyglot family, one of the aspects that more than others trigger my curiosity is understanding the mechanisms through which people, and especially newborns, learn a new language. According to common sense, babies are less intelligent than adults, as intelligence is thought to be something that naturally grows with age. When making such considerations, though, we must be careful not to confuse intelligence with the amount of real life experience: one of the most widely accepted definitions of intelligence is, more or less: 'the ability of solving new problems'.
