Web-based Computer Sharing

I recently learned about a web-based tool for gaining remote access to a computer.  Join.me allows a computer user to give another computer-user one-time access to his or her computer.  This is useful for helping a friend or family member with a computer problem or other similar scenarios, and you can use this for free!

Recovering Deleted Files

So today I was uploading pictures from my SD card to my Mac.  When the upload completed, I chose the option to delete the pictures from the SD card.  Within 5 minutes, I had deleted a file from iPhoto, and I couldn't recover it.  I have access to forensic tools, but I thought that would be overkill for the simple recovery of a single file.  A quick google search led me to an article about 15 Free File Recovery Software Programs.

I chose the first recommendation - Recuva - and was happy to see that a tool can be free, easy to use and can get the job done quickly.  You can download Recuva directly from this link:  http://pcsupport.about.com/od/filerecovery/gr/recuva-review.htm.
