    New phone time

    I found a bunch of places that repair phones locally. I'll call them tomorrow to see how much it is to repair this. The Note 2 is going to be close to $700 without being upgrade eligible, which is really a lot of money for a mobile phone.

    New phone time

    I should have had a case, but I dislike cases and have never broken a phone before. I wonder if Sprint would take my GS3 as a tradein for a Note 2 that comes out next week?

    New phone time

    That's what I've found too, the protective glass is half impossible to remove. I can buy a refurbished touch screen for $200.

    New phone time

    My GS3 fell out of my pocket when I was sitting in a chair and fell about 12 inches (30 cm) onto concrete. The screen cracked in several spots. Now I need to figure out what my options are to fix it.

    I need more drive space. What brand/drive is good these days?

    I bought a couple of these in July. I just use them for mass storage so I'm not worried about the speed.

    Online backup

    I am trying the Crashplan trial on one of my Linux machines to see how it works and did notice this blurb on their website: I would be more willing to buy 4 years worth of service for $6/month with the possibility to cancel if it doesn't work out. Is anyone else using Crashplan?

    Online backup

    I'd like to find a decently priced, unlimited online backup service. It must support Linux and Windows and all me to backup more than one computer. Backblaze seems like a good deal, but they don't have Linux support. $5 month-to-month. Crashplan supports Linux and is a good deal if I pay for 4...

    PC not booting :(

    Can you pull 1 stick of RAM at a time and see if it POSTs that way? Can you reset the BIOS somehow? Other than that, it sounds like the motherboard is done for.

    My Toshiba laptop's HDD Protection program keeps getting disabled

    Yes, but which is more likely, losing a decent SSD (Intel) or a mechanical disk?

    I believe that is correct and it needs be compatible with ActiveSync 14 or whatever Outlook 2010 uses. The default Samsung mail app supports it, but that application is really crappy.

    Another mass build and some hardware thoughts

    I haven't really been keeping up, but why not the Intel 330 Series Maple Crest SSDSC2CT180A3K5 2.5" 180GB SATA III MLC Internal Solid State Drive (SSD)? It's $115 cheaper and 20GB larger.

    question No more computers

    What happens it the user's host system is compromised? Can't this in turn have deleterious effects on the virtual machine as well? Sensitive data will still need to be transmitted through a shared NIC.
