Easeus Todo Backup is a simple, free hard drive cloning tool for Windows

Easeus Partition Manager became one of my go-to drive utilities after the first time I used it. They're now offering a hard drive cloning utility, and it's just as handy.

Unlike Partition Manager, there's only one version of Todo Backup, and it's totally free to use in any environment. You can clone drives and create images of your partitions all from the comfort of your Windows desktop. Performance is excellent and comparable to Macrium Reflect which has been my app of choice up until now. Since I can put Todo to work at the office as well, I'll likely be making the switch.

Todo also supports sector-by-sector copying, compression, spanning, and encryption. Image files you create can also be mounted and explored from within the application. Create a bootable rescue CD and Todo can restore images without booting into Windows. Perfect for those times when the proverbial poo hits the fan.

I love Easeus products - so much so that I'd be willing to help them re-work the English on their product page. "Are you still wasting your time to reinstall system, procedure and recover lost data when there is a system failure, crash or other unexpected damages?"

So if you want to avoid unexpected damages, start cloning your drives with Todo Backup. In the words of Mr. Sparkle, "It's disrespectful of crash!"

Bottom line: Todo Backup is a great, free application. Check it out.

How To Hide Text In Microsoft Word 2007, Reveal It & Protect It

Sometimes what we hide is more important than what we reveal. Especially, documents with sensitive information, some things are supposed to be ‘for some eyes only’. Such scenarios are quite common, even for the more un-secretive among us. You want to show someone a letter composed in MS Word, but want to keep some of the content private; or it’s an official letter with some part of it having critical data. As important as these two are, the most common use could involve a normal printing job. Many a time we have to print different versions of a document, one copy for one set of eyes and others for other sets. Rather than creating multiple copies and therefore multiple printing jobs, what if we could just do it from the same document? That too, without the hassle of repeated cut and paste. We can, with a simple feature in MS Word – it’s just called Hidden and let me show you how to use it to hide text in Microsoft Word 2007. It’s a simple single click process. Open the docum...

Boom, the startup that wants to build supersonic planes, just signed a massive deal with Virgin

Have you heard about Boom? Boom is a relatively new startup that’s aiming to build something pretty crazy. They’re not building an app… or a social network… or even some new gadget for the Kickstarter crowd. Boom wants to build planes. Really, really, really fast planes. Specifically, they’re trying to design and build a supersonic passenger plane that goes 2.2x the speed of sound. If all goes to plan, they’ll be able to shuttle people from New York to London in 3.5 hours, and SF to Tokyo in 4.5. Sound crazy? I wouldn’t disagree. It’s worth noting that the company is in the very early days for something as intensive, massive, and hugely expensive as designing and producing a passenger aircraft. They’re still working on their first prototype, and hope to fly it by late next year. But it’s also worth noting that the team behind the plane has some serious talent in its blood: the company’s 11 employees have collectively contributed to over 30 aircrafts — having worked on thin...

Fun Tools to Translate Your Name into Japanese Calligraphy

Japanese calligraphy is an artistic writing style of the Japanese language. Its Chinese origins can be traced back to the twenty-eighth century BCE. Calligraphy found its way into Japanese culture in 600 CE and is known as the karayo tradition. For Westerners, calligraphy is forever fascinating. However, it takes years to learn how to properly draw the signs. Two basic principles must be known to understand Japanese writing: there are different writing styles and different alphabets. Kaisho for example, is a writing style most commonly used in print media. Tensho on the other hand is used in signatures. Other writing styles are Reisho, Gyosho and Sousho. The alphabets include Kanji, Hiragana, and Katakana. Katakana is used for writing foreign words. It can also serve to highlight words, in analogy to capital letters as we know them from the Roman / Latin alphabet (Romaji in Japanese). Each Kanji character has a meaning of its own, while Hiragana or Katakana characters merely repres...
