Performing a backup of your data used to involve buying software, setting it up on every machine you want backed up, buying a secondary storage device, and remembering to schedule backups for when the machine is actually going to be powered on.

Jordan Sturm was probably stunned when her iPhone was suddenly snatched away by a bike-riding thief. I know I was when the exact same thing happened to me—except unlike Jordan, I wasn’t testing a live GPS-tracking app.
Apparently Jordan was in the middle of testing out a product called Alert & Respond—which is explained as being an app that allows for live GPS-tracking of an iPhone—when an unlucky thief decided to make her his victim. It didn’t take the woman long to recover and call her company who proceeded to guide police officers to the thief’s exact location. The f
ASRock always surprises us. I am not sure if it is because they are just demonstrating their technology capability or do they have large volumes to clear.
Anyway, remember the old AMD 480X chipset, the discrete chipset supporting the AM2 processors.
