Dropbox is BIG. The Dropbox application has become so big that the San Francisco Chronicle recently highlighted them in a feature article. It’s a cogent statement, acknowledging the massive success achieved by this SF Bay area digital titan of file storage. The article makes a terrific point in that people feel more secure saving their most cherished data with a company like Dropbox that isn’t as pervasive as behemoths Google, Microsoft or Apple. You know. Those bellwethers of the web, that along with providing their now indispensable services sometimes look an awful lot like that Big Brother fellow described in that iconic sci-fi book so many moons ago. Dropbox isn’t like those other choices. They are happy with their place in the file storage sun and wouldn’t dream of being naughty. Bottom line, it’s easy to feel warm and fuzzy about Dropbox. So let the fuzz fest begin! (Plus, Dropbox is also available for the iPad!)
Silicon Valley: Still the Place to Be
Silicon Valley is still where businesses of all levels want to be. If you haven’t heard of it (and you probably should have), it is located in the southern region of San Francisco in Northern California.

Home to thousands of companies, the name is used to refer to Santa Clara Valley, but now refers to a much wider geographical area and is used as a metonym for the technological industry in America.

Choosing a Cheap Laptop
When you start looking, you may well be surprised to find that getting hold of a really cheap laptop is actually pretty easy. They’ve come down considerably in price since tablets have entered the market, and refurbished ones are better value still. These are used or previously broken laptops which have been professionally restored to a good standard. The main problem then, is not finding a cheap laptop; it’s finding a cheap laptop that is right for you. It’s no good buying something that costs hardly anything, but doesn’t actually do what you need it to.

4 Best Apps for Printing from iPhone
Why bother to get a dedicated app to print from your iPhone when AirPrint is already included in the iOS? Because all printer types are not supported by the AirPrint feature, and even if yours is, sometimes all of the ducks refuse to line up in that proverbial row. If you have an AirPrint enabled printer and the printer is connected to the computer through what is known as Bluetooth, the technology that allows for wireless connection of many different types of devices, your request won’t print. That’s because your iPhone does not enjoy native Bluetooth support for printing. Worse yet, if the printer is attached via a USB cable, the most common connection of the day, well, that’s not supported either.
