Crash course:
Computer memory
used with permission
from HP Technology at Work
There are dizzying amounts of memory types in modern computer
devices, from DDR SDRAM to L3 caches. And for many of us, understanding
all the nuances of computer memory is a bit like understanding
how the catalytic converter in your car works: It might be nice
to know, but you probably don't have the time to become an expert,
even if you use one every day.

firewalls, anti-virus programs, spam filtering, and
backup/disaster recovery tools. But when is the last

using the cloud - and didn't know it
used with permission
from HP Technology at Work
In 2015, small businesses that moved to the cloud doubled
their profits and achieved 25% additional revenue growth compared
to their cloudless contemporaries.
Still for many of us, "the cloud" can seem more buzzword
than reality: we may have a vague sense of what it means, but
don't really understand what it means for our business. Isn't
it complicated? Isn't it something only a global enterprise

used with permission
from Microsoft Office Blogs
 In a world where more than 30 million people work from
home at least one day a week, the virtual workforce is rapidly
becoming the rule, rather than the exception. And whether you
work from your home office, your favorite coffee shop or
your kitchen table, chances are good that online collaboration is
critical to just about everything you do.
Of course, working with people who may be a city, state,
time zone or country away can be tricky, but with a few simple
tips, a little patience and a steaming mug of caffeinated goodness,
you can probably get more done at home than at the office. In
fact, according to a study by the Telework Research Network,
more than two-thirds of employers report increased productivity

What Is Spear
Phishing?
used with permission
from Norton by Symantec
by Nadia Kovacs
Spear phishing isn't what you do when you're on vacation
in Hawaii. It's a targeted attack on your personal information.
An updated version of the old trick "phishing," where scam artists
simply ask you for your password or other private information,
spear phishing takes this trick to the next level, using social
engineering. Before you respond to that email asking for you
to verify your address or other personal information, read this
article to protect yourself against spear phishing.
