    Is there a step by step to diagnose if you have no internet connection?

    I had something similar happen a month ago. Tried for 5 hours running fixes and malware scans. Ended up rebuilding because I didn't want to waste more time trying to hunt it down.

    Kernel Data Recovery/Nucleus Technologies

    I've used their PST recovery tools. Works good enough. I was a little hesitant, but it never seemed to be malware infected or anything like that. Works, but a little clunky.

    Your Windows 8 Views

    I think the bitching about Metro is interesting. I initially hated it, but realized that MOST (non [H]) users would rather see the <10 apps that they use on a normal basis in front of them, not in a start menu of any kind. Think about your parents. If it's not a shortcut on the desktop...

    You might be taking this a little too far.

    I bit the DUST!

    Really thought his SSD "bit the dust" when he "stomped" on his gun and "accidently fired" and shot his SSD.

    Best online/hard drive backup options?

    +1 for Crashplan. I use it to backup locally and also online with them.

    Screen Protectors

    Cannot recommend bestskinsever.com enough. Had one on my Aria, now on my SGSII. They're the same thing as the Invisible Shield/Zagg protectors, except they're cheap! $6.99 for the front screen, $8.99 for a full body cover. It's a wet application, but I've put them on my SGS II, Aria...

    SkyDrive for Android

    You probably won't see it. Microsoft is going after Android and has decided to not attack Apple. That's why the app only exists on iOS and WP7.

    I use a WRT54G with DD-WRT for this at home.

    Gigabit worth it?

    Another for the gigabit switch. It's cheap, they all work about the same (unmanaged switches) and the speed is worth it.

    Online backup solutions -- recommendations?

    +1 Crashplan, I love it. I'm pretty sure it should do what you're asking for.

    A Network cable is Unplugged... XP w/SP3!!!

    I've seen this happen with a bad cable. Connects at 10/100, but not at 1000.

    Any IT folks running BitLocker?

    We've got about 50 users on BitLocker on laptops. No problems so far, about 8 months and the laptops do travel but never had a recovery mode trigger. I like it because it's transparent, we were using TrueCrypt at first, but then users just wrote the passwords inside the laptop (or printed a...
