Let’s say you need to do some research online, but you’re about to get on an airplane. Well, there is a new service called “Webaroo” that allows you to collect information from Web sites and then view it while you’re in the air. You can store information from newspapers, magazines and other sites on your laptop. Then you can browse the Web without being connected to the Web. It works with other devices as well, and Clark thinks the idea is ingenious. Better yet, it’s free!

In other technology news, there is now a program that allows you to shut down your computer and access to anything on it if it’s stolen. If you carry a laptop with sensitive information, you should consider this service. It’s called “CompuTrace” and it costs $35 a year. There are also programs that you can install that will track your laptop if it’s stolen. Laptops are not such hot commodities anymore because they’ve gotten pretty inexpensive. Decent laptops are in the $299 range, so criminals aren’t really interested in them. So, unless you’re doing a very specialized function, there is no need to reach the $1,000 mark.
