Armed Notebooks – Is it a guy thing?

These spiral bound notebooks from MollaSpace feature 3D covers made of PVC, which are shaped like a grenade, revolver or knife. There’s a small ring that you can use to attach items to the notebook – not sure why you would want to do this, but it’s there if you want to. The notebooks are currently on back order, but are priced at $20 each. Is it just me, or are they a guy thing? Any women out there that would buy one? ...

13 Things to Consider Before Buying a Digital Media Storage System

I was a Windows user for many years, and I fell victim to malicious software a couple of times. My home computer has files that are vitally important to me. I have tax records, bank files, and other files that would be bad to lose. I have photos of my daughter and my family that would be devastating to lose. To protect my files, I've used antivirus software, but it wasn't enough. I also had to use antispyware and other programs to try to find and remove tracking cookies and other malware.
