By today’s standards, the office is not really where a lot of us work anymore. Work is more a mindset than a location than ever before, and especially in the Information Technology field, where collaboration and working with others takes place. There are amazing tools and programs that we all use to get our jobs […]

To put it very simply: SupraSphere is a universal remote for accessing and adding personal data in the cloud. You can host all of your data in one place on one server, access it securely, and share it as you wish.

Where do I begin? Honestly I use every single one of these great tools every day. I’m sure that classifies me as an internet junkie somehow, but as my day rolls on, I check out some news feeds, read my emails, ask for help and assist in the Ubuntu forums, chat on a […]
