    How to Choose the Right Backup Plan You need a plan for backing up your photos, your work files, and all your other data. Whether it's a quick-and-dirty cheap solution or a more costly but highly redundant strategy, we've got you covered. There are two kinds of people: Those who back up their data and those who haven't lost anything yet. I'll never get tired of that joke, because it's painfully true. Losing your files can be heartbreaking, career-ruining, and expensive if you try to recover them with the help of an expert. Backing them up yourself is a preventative measure that avoids all those issues. While  backing up your data  sounds like a tedious chore, it doesn't have to be. There's a backup solution for every kind of person—the lazy, the diligent, and people somewhere in between. Take me, for example. I haven't gone to every possible length to make sure I have a watertight plan, but I've covered ...

    GOOGLE'S OWN The Pixel, Google’s first fully home-grown phone, required a dedicated team with an eye for detail and a love of blue. Google was ready for more. Since 2010, the tech giant teamed up with companies such as Samsung, LG and Motorola to create phones that would serve as marquee devices for its mobile operating system, Android. Known as Nexus phones, they ran the newest Android version available at the time, in hardware built and branded by these other companies. But after launching the  Nexus 6P  with Huawei five years later, Google flipped the script. It decided to make a new phone without any outside partnerships. Another company would still assemble the device (a task that HTC picked up), but Google alone would engineer, design and sell it. Designing the  Pixel , as the phone would be called, however, would be like creating a phone for Goldilocks. It had to have premium hardware without compromising its style. I...

Windows 10 review     Windows is more than just an OS Microsoft believes the future of Windows is as a platform for all. Like Android, the strength of Windows is in the thousands of companies that develop for it and use it in their products – on multiple devices. That's why Windows 10 is no longer just an operating system for 32 and 64-bit PCs. It also runs on ARM chips as  Windows 10 Mobile  for smartphones (and, eventually, Microsoft promises, smaller tablets). That's thanks to the OneCore foundation of Windows. Like Windows XP, Vista, 7 and 8 before it, Windows 10 is built on the Windows NT kernel, but much more of Windows is now shared between the different devices, and apps built for the Universal Windows Platform (UWP) will run not only on PCs, but on Windows 10 phones, Windows 10 for IoT devices, HoloLens headsets and  Xbox One  as well. Note that we've published a distinct Windows 10 Mobile review  here ...

A great story in particular centers around a single 1993 Bentley Continental: R.
