Free GFI Backup Home offers powerful-yet-simple backup and sync
by Lee Mathews Jul 2nd 2009
A good backup routine is a must for anyone that has any important data on his or her computer. Your documents, photos, music - even your Photoshop brushes and settings - those things are all a real pain to recover when they go missing.
For home users running Windows, GFI Backup is an excellent option. Not only does it do traditional folder and files backups, but it also makes backing up your registry, email, and program settings a breeze. The program settings feature is especially handy, and comes with built-in support for apps like Skype, Putty, Photoshop, Dreamweaver, Winamp, Firefox, IE, and Opera.
Backups can be saved to CD/DVD, removable drives, LAN folders, or remote FTP. Scheduling, compression, and AES encryption are also supported, and GFI can also run tasks before and after your backup job - say, a CCleaner /auto run to make sure you're not backing up useless files.
And since a number of users sync to external hard drives or NAS devices instead of backing up, GFI can also handle synchronization tasks, too. It's an excellent, free way to keep your data safe.
If you'd rather not register on the GFI site to get the download, you can also find it at Snapfiles.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
