How to Recover your stolen Gadget

Always worried what will happen when your phone, iPod, camera is lost or stolen??. You are totally clueless of what to do next. This CNN story discusses some of the retrieval services . Like for example it tells you about a new Singapore-based software that when you download it to your phone, messages everyone in your phone’s database whenever a new chip with a new phone number is installed in the phone. This makes it very hard for someone to steal your phone as all your friends get their new phone number.

Microsoft launches free Web Space

Another step by Microsoft to give competition to their rivals.

Microsoft Corp. is giving computer users up to 500 megabytes of online storage for their documents, music, photos and video.Microsoft made an early, “beta” version of the Web-based file storage system available to 5,000 people in its latest effort to bulk up its online offerings. The beta will be widely available later this summer.The service gives users who e-mail documents between home and work computers an alternative way to access their files on the go. Users can keep files private or share them with people they know or with anyone on the Web.

This service is not the only service of this type. Read more about these type of services.
