Windows: LAlarm uses the USB port or power port of your Laptop as a sensor to detect when your laptop has been disturbed.
While a piece of software is no substitute for keeping your laptop directly in your hands at all times, when it isn't immediately practical or convenient you can use LAlarm to give you a heads up if your laptop is on the move.
Once installed you can set LAlarm to perform a variety of tasks if your laptop is unplugged from its power cable or the wall, or if the USB drive—which you would need to use a strap to secure to something—is removed from the USB port. What task it will perform is up to you. LAlarm can sound the alarm, literally over your laptops speakers, launch applications, delete files, or recover them. In recovery mode critical files can be sent to you remotely if the thief uses your laptop.
Have your own favorite application for laptop security? Let's hear about it in the comments. LAlarm is free for personal use and available for Windows only.
People often ask me if I ‘do weddings’. That’s a funny question for a photographer. Perhaps like asking a chef if he ‘does chicken’. I’m a photographer and I have the ability to photograph anything. Do I base my business solely around weddings? No. Can I do them? Certainly! And I love it. 
Mind you, I have only done a few weddings and I don’t claim to be an expert by any stretch of the imagination. But I do think that I have a few tidbits I can share with anyone who is just starting out or perhaps is a man in the business looking for a little female perspective.
Don’t be shy in front of the audience. Obviously, use a zoom lens so you’re not hip-to-hip with the priest but be strong and bold and remember that you have a license to be there! You were hired and everyone knows that so don’t worry about moving around and shooting from behind the priest if it’s appropriate.
When I first started weddings, my clients were friends so I generally knew one side of the family better than the other. It was entirely subconscious, but I realised that in the ceremony, I was gravitating to the people I knew and leaving the others out. 
If you wanted to add Firefox to your system, simply search for it in the search bar farther down the page. Results from the repositories you've chosen appear, and you can click "Add+" to load them into your system, with dependencies and other needed packages automatically included. What if you don't see something you know runs on Linux—like, say, Google Chrome? Find an RPM-formatted package, like those I found at 
The 'Build' section is where you get the good stuff. Pick the format you'd like to download, whether an ISO for creating a CD/DVD, a disk image for hard disk or USB transfer, or a ready-made virtual machine file for VirtualBox or VMWare. Choose your format, set a version number, and that build will always be available for downloading or 'cloning.' Not quite sure what to do with the files you received? Here's SUSE Studio's guide to

The Pidgin multi-protocol IM client not only works on both Windows and Linux, but the profile directory can be synchronized across both operating systems with Dropbox and a little symlink trickery. The basic idea is that we'll move the profile folder into our Dropbox folder, and then create a symlink from where the original used to be so Pidgin won't even know you moved it.
These days, almost every application has a portable version for use on a thumb drive, but what you may not have known is that your portable applications work perfectly when you add them to your Dropbox folder and synchronize them across all of your machines. You've already shared your 
Dropbox is designed to simply sync files and folders, but you can use it to trigger other tasks by simply adding files to Dropbox in a particular folder and monitoring that folder on another computer. For instance, most popular BitTorrent applications include a folder-monitoring feature that checks for and automatically opens new torrent files in a user-specified folder, meaning you can easily

In this step, you're going to format your thumb drive and then restore the Snow Leopard DVD image to the thumb drive because later we'll be installing Snow Leopard to your hard drive using this thumb drive rather than the DVD. 'Why?' you ask. Because in order to boot the installer, we need to customize the disk image with some special helper files of our own.
