Take that, suckas! BoingBoing reports on a study that shows female users of the net outnumber male.
Just kidding - it’s not a competition. But it looks like people are already poising themselves to cash in.

After scaring the crap out of everyone with How I’d Hack Your Weak Passwords, One Man’s Blog has been kind enough to provide a solution to this problem in the form of a Roboform tutorial video.
I have to say… I really hate having to watch a 20 minute video to learn something I could’ve gotten from two pages of instructions and finished in 5 minutes. Of course, I’ve used Roboform, so maybe that made me more impatient. But seriously. I wish people would just write out their damn instructions.
Don’t mean to sound ungrateful, though. You’ll know everything you ever needed to know about Roboform when it’s done.
If you’ve recently moved from PC to Mac, you might miss the “My Computer” interface that lets you browse the hard drives you have access to in a way that Macs handle a bit differently.
Turns out there’s a rather easy way to simulate it, and Dave Taylor has the illustrated guide.

First off, an apology to anyone who’s offended by the terms “slave” and “master” drive, but those are the terms currently used, and some people who’ve heard of the technique won’t recognize it without that label. This is the last you’ll hear of them, though.

First off, an apology to anyone who’s offended by the terms “slave” and “master” drive, but those are the terms currently used, and some people who’ve heard of the technique won’t recognize it without that label. This is the last you’ll hear of them, though. 
If you have a lot of stuff on an old computer which you’d like to transfer to a new computer, and the old computer is incapable of cabling with the new one and simply sending over the info, there’s still a way to make it happen. You can also install the old hard drive as a second drive in the new machine, but if your old machine is too old to cable, the hard drive may be near the end of its life already.
Unplug the old computer and open up its case. Look for the hard drive. Detach the hard drive’s power supply cable and the ribbon cable from the back. Remove the screws that hold the drive in place. Take the the hard drive out of its bay. Set the hard drive as a “slave drive” - there should be a diagram on it that shows you how to do this with the jumpers. Now shut down the new PC and open its case.
Put the old hard drive into an open bay at this point, then attach a power cable and a ribbon cable to it. Close the new machine and turn it on. You may need to reset your BIOS, or it may immediately recognize the second drive. Now you can start moving stuff over by simple click and drag. Again, if the old hard drive is very old, it is recommended to move everything instead of relying on it.
Fire up the computer and see what happens, some will detect a new hard drive with no problems at all, you take no further action while some might need the bios changing - again it’s not hard you press delete on start up to enter the bios, then use the arrow keys to highlight the area you need, save your changes by pressing certain keys and then restart.
Have you ever copied something to your computer’s clipboard, but then you need to dash off from that computer before you can paste what you copied where you wanted it? Here’s an online copy and paste service that lets you save it online so you can access it later from any computer.

It could also come in handy if you have tech problems and need to reboot your computer before you can use the program you want to paste into, but you’re still able to use your browser before restarting.
