At home I have a NAS box. I originally purchased one of these because I’ve somehow used all the storage that my cloud provider had available and the cost to upgrade was nothing short of insane. I’d tried other providers, however the cost, the reliability, and the fact …

I got me a USB 3.0 Hard Drive, baby. It’s red. It looks cool and it’s got bucket loads of space for your stuff. Got lots of pictures and videos on your smartphone? Got a full laptop? How’s a big field with 3TB greenery for you eh? Included …

Back in January, Leigh looked at the MEEM cable which was in the Kickstarter stage. What is MEEM I hear you ask? Well it is a phone charger cable that automatically backs up personal data on a smartphone to the cable, every time the phone is charged. MEEM is …

See? This is what gets me about cloud storage. You can spend hours, days, months and years uploading your treasured memories to an online drive, only for the provider in question to shut up shop. You’re then left scrambling around trying to find a new provider, or buying …

It’s not been long since our MEEM review and you’ll be able to get the cable yourself within days. It’s on Kickstarter with just a small amount of cash remaining. Early adopters have the chance to get the MEEM before general release and at a discounted price, which …

I’m terrible at backing things up. I mean, really terrible. I like technology because it makes my life easier, but sometimes it does make you a tad lazy. Backing up the photos, videos and messages isn’t too difficult if you’re technically aware. You can hook up your Google …

I am utterly hopeless at backing stuff up. I’ve held onto my ageing LG G3 because there’s buckets of photos on the internal and external storage. I just can’t bring myself to move to another phone but – even worse – nothing is backed up. If I lose …

I’m just sitting back in the office chair after visiting the Olympic Games in London. It’s a spectacular event, filled with pride and happiness. Down in the London Underground things seemed to be coping well too and it was filled with tourists visiting the various events. However, I …
