Remote Access to Home or Office Computer

Do you need to access your home or office computer while you are at either location or away from both? Fear not, there is a FREE service just for you! Sign up for a LogMeIn.com account to access your computer(s) remotely! The only thing you cannot do with the free account is to transfer files. No problem, simply e-mail them from the remote location to your current location. An excellent (and free) solution to solve the remote access problem!

Send Messages Late at Night that You Wish You Hadn't Sent?

If you are a Gmail user, you have a new feature that can save you from sending messages you may regret at a later time. Google developer, Jon Perlow, uses the analogy "beer goggles" for e-mail messages. This feature is available late at night and during the weekends. So if you e-mail after a few too many drinks, make sure that you have your "Mail Goggles" on.

Read about this feature on Reuters Blog and Official G-mail Blog.
