If you’ve ever felt the need for an online Virtual OS, maybe because you own a netbook and don’t want to weigh it down with office apps and whatnot then I’ve got the THE solution for you. G.ho.st is pretty much the slickest OVOS around. It offers a ton of apps including an office suite, calendar, and IM clients for AIM, Yahoo, etc… With a solid 15gb of space for signing up you can store a reasonable amount of stuff on there, as well as share it with other users. As a bonus you can “sideload” files from other websites directly into your G.ho.st machine.
There is also a huge library of public files available to browse through and a ton of community designed and provided apps. You can even write your own apps for it and upload them. I use it for documents or files that I want to have accessible from any internet connected PC as well as to transfer some of the processor load off of my system if I’m on a lightweight laptop or netbook.
If you’re interested in moving into “The Cloud” any time soon then G.ho.st is the place to go.

There are a lot of troubleshooting articles out about the 0×85010014 error. Chances are, one of them will fix whatever problem you’re having that has resulted in the error. However if after trying all of the regular troubleshooting you still can’t get the phone to sync then I just might have a solution for you.
After about an hour of wading through all of the troubleshooting for this issue and being completely certain that all of the settings on the phone and the server were correct I STILL couldn’t get a phone to sync. A little bit of deeper digging resulted in the following discover. Log on to your exchange server, open up the IIS management console, right click on the Default Website, and click Properties. Now click on the ISAPI Filter tab and take a look at the entries listed there, chances are the SBSFLT.dll has a big red arrow next to it, indicating that it failed to load. Locate the file (which should reside in c:\inetpub\sbsflt\sbsflt.dll) and then remove the SBSFLT ISAPI filter and re-add it. Now restart IIS. Wait about 10 minutes and your devices should all be happily syncing away.

And as always, if this helped you please donate to the cause using one of the buttons at the top of the article.

Today Microsoft released an manual workaround for closing the SMB2 flaw revealed earlier this month. Initially the flaw was believed to only allow an attacker to crash a vulnerable machine, but since that time more exploits have been released which allow remote control and penetration of unpatched systems.

If you’ve been paying attention to alternative energy news over the last week or two you will have noticed a lot of buzz about something called a MicroFueler. Just going off of the name a person might assume it’s just a very tiny gas can, but that person would be an idiot. The MicroFueler is in actuality a compact Ethanol production facility. E-Fuel has been developing it for the last year or so and recently installed their first unit in San Diego. More units are expected to begin shipping any day now. What does all of this have to do with you? Read on to find out.
