NextAdvisor.com Launches Lost Laptop Guide

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) July 15, 2008

NextAdvisor.com, a leading provider of independent reviews of consumer services, is launching its free Lost Laptop Guide to help consumers cope with the aftermath of a lost or stolen laptop.

Over 12,000 laptops are lost or stolen at U.S. airports each month according to a recent survey commissioned by Dell, and NextAdvisor.com responded by outlining some of the best ways for consumers to deal with laptop loss.

“Aside from the immediate financial loss and the loss of valuable files, a missing laptop can drastically increase your risk of becoming an identity theft victim,” said NextAdvisor.com Associate Editor Caitlin Podiak. “Fortunately, there are many precautions you can take to ease the pain of a lost laptop, as well as steps you can take to mitigate the risks and costs if the loss or theft has already occurred.”

NextAdvisor.com’s Lost Laptop Guide offers a variety of tips and tricks for safeguarding valuable or sensitive data and preventing laptop loss in the first place as well as the immediate steps consumers should take when they first realize that they can’t locate their laptop. The guide also suggests that laptop owners use an online backup service to protect important files on their computer before it is lost or stolen as well as an identity theft protection service to help prevent further victimization.

“By storing copies of all your files with an online backup service, you can be sure that if your computer goes missing all those files can be easily recovered,” said Podiak. “Additionally, an identity theft protection service can help prevent criminals from using information stored on your laptop to steal your identity.”

The Lost Laptop Guide is available for free by visiting:

The Internet is Everywhere but Your Laptop Might Not be

Concord, MA (PRWEB) September 8, 2006

Many people rely on their laptops to stay productive while traveling. However, following last month’s terrorist threats, some airport authorities introduced no hand luggage policies and many more could do it at any time.

Many companies decided that staff should leave laptops at home rather than check them in as baggage, leaving affected employees disconnected from their work once they reached their destination. Companies seeking to enable uninterrupted access to all work related material, without a personal laptop, might choose to utilizee a secure online collaboration portal.

Even if a laptop is checked in, most airlines exclude this from any cover and will not accept responsibility for checked computers. By having data accessible on a secure web site, you can be assured that you your information will be available at the other end.

To avoid potential problems, it will be best to change the reliance on personal laptops that can get damaged or lost to a secure web collaboration site that can be accessed anywhere and from any internet connected computer.

Wounded Soldiers Ease Back Into Daily Life With The Help Of Donated Laptops Soldiers’ Angels’ Project Valour IT Donates Laptop Computer to 500th Wounded Soldier

Pasadena, Calif. (PRWEB) June 23, 2006

During every war, in which the United States has been involved, civilian groups have come into existence which were composed of individuals dedicated to providing for the human needs of American soldiers and their families. Programs such as the Overseas YMCA Workers Program played a pivotal role in helping American soldiers while they were deployed and when they returned from the battlefield during World War I.

Today, during the War on Terror, many similar charitable organizations have emerged to provide for the needs of the American soldiers and their families. The memberships of such organizations are diverse and include among their ranks veterans, milbloggers, family members of soldiers and civilians. Some of the organizations exist to provide a specific need to soldiers while others exist to provide a wide array of help and comfort to those in the armed forces. A common theme among the groups is the desire to provide aid and comfort to the men and women who wear the military uniforms of the United States of America.

Soldiers’ Angels is such an organization. In the summer of 2003 Patti Patton-Bader was inspired to found Soldiers’ Angels when her son wrote home from Iraq expressing his concern that some soldiers did not receive any mail or support from home. Within a few short months Soldiers’ Angels had grown from a mother writing a few extra letters to an Internet Community with tens of thousands of angels worldwide.

One of the many projects established by Soldiers’ Angels was Project Valour IT (Voice Activated Laptops for OUR Injured Troops). The project was established in memory of SFC William V. Ziegenfuss, a Vietnam era veteran . SFC Ziegenfuss’s son, CPT Charles “Chuck” Ziegenfuss, was wounded in Iraq. While convalescing from hand injuries he discovered the therapeutic benefits of being able to stay connected to the world through the use of voice-controlled software and a laptop computer. He was one of many soldiers who were able to blog from their hospital beds. Out of his struggle and in coordination with Soldiers’ Angels, Project Valor IT was born.

The purpose of the project is to provide voice-controlled software and laptop computers to wounded soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines recovering from hand and arm injuries or amputations. Operating laptops by speaking into a microphone, wounded soldiers are able to send and receive messages from friends and loved ones, surf the ‘Net, and communicate with buddies still in the field, all without having to press a key or move a mouse.

During its initial phase, Valour-IT created “libraries” of laptops equipped with voice-controlled software for the severely wounded staying at major military medical centers. In many cases laptops are provided to a wounded hero for permanent use. Valour-IT has continued to accept donations of any amount to supply the “libraries” of laptops at major military medical centers and gifts to individuals, but has also added the option of an individual or organization directly sponsoring a wounded soldier by completely funding the cost of a laptop and continuing to provide him or her with personal support and encouragement throughout recovery.

Through donations from milblogger challenges, churches, groups of coworkers or friends, and members of community organizations, Project Valour IT has recently donated its 500th laptop computer to a wounded soldier. This project helps keep wounded soldiers from falling into depression by providing them with task-oriented activity; giving them access to entertainment and news; allowing them to sustain positive self value; and allowing them to maintain and enjoy rewarding personal contact through instant messages, email and even voice chat. In essence, the voice activated laptops provided by Project Valour IT become instant lifelines for the severely wounded soldier. The project directly and positively helps those soldiers who have given up so much of themselves to protect their fellow countrymen and gives them the ability to experience some of the small enjoyments found in daily life.    

Continuing the time honored tradition of civilian support of American soldiers, Soldiers’ Angels sponsors programs which provide support to American soldiers and their families. Soldiers’ Angels’ programs include first responder packs, support, and laptop computers to wounded soldiers who are receiving treatment at American military hospitals; care packages, letters, and support to deployed soldiers; armored blankets to military ambulances; items shipped for deployed soldiers to give children in the war zone; and memorial trees for the families of soldiers who have died in the service of their country.

If you would like more information about this topic or to schedule an interview with Patti Patton-Bader, please call James Riley at (615)676-0239.

A new generation of low cost, lightweight laptops is rapidly becoming a global sensation. For many people around the world, owning a personal computer has long been considered a luxury. In the last couple years, manufacturers of mini laptops (also referred to as mini notebooks or mini notes) have managed to strip down a lot of the bells and whistles that come automatically with standard laptops, to make a lite version that fits in more peoples’ hands…and pocketbooks. Unlike previous computer products that aimed at reducing size and cost, these mini machines have powerful processors, substantial memory and come with all the basic software, entertainment options and Internet most people need.

To entertain the possibility that each family member could have their own computer without a significant financial investment opens up a whole new world of opportunity for most of us. Children, stay at home parents, senior citizens and disabled family members can easily get plugged in to the larger world around them, and going wireless gets us all out into the world more. Similarly, many small businesses struggle to get by with old, unreliable computers that are stretched thin between employees. To be able to equip each employee with a powerful, affordable computer expands the business’ potential for growth tremendously. With a price range of 0-0, mini laptops or notebooks make this a reality for them.
