Backup your Files to Amazon Glacier with the help of Dropbox

Amazon Glacier, if you are new, is an online backup service from Amazon where you can store files by paying as little as 1¢ per GB of storage space per month. Glacier is a recommended option for saving copies of files that are important but not accessed very frequently – like the photo archives on your disk. →Amazon doesn't provide a file uploading tool for Glacier but there are several third-party Glacier clients that you may use to easily upload files and folders from the local disk to the Glacier cloud with a easy drag-n-drop interface.There's another service in town called IceBox that eliminates the need for installing a separate Glacier client. The service links Amazon Glacier with your Dropbox account and any files that you add to a particular Dropbox folder are automatically uploaded to your Glacier vault.The Dropbox files are queued for uploading to Amazon GlacierThis is a one-way operation so once the files have been uploaded from Dropbox to Glacier, you can safely delete the copies inside Dropbox without affecting the files that are already inside Glacier. You can also browse the file list on the IceBox website to verify that all your Dropbox files have been successfully added to Glacier.To get started, go to the AWS dashboard to request your Access Keys for the Amazon Glacier service. Next follow the wizard on the Icebox website to link your Amazon and Dropbox accounts. This will create a new folder in your Dropbox folder and any files that you add to this folder go straight into your Glacier vault.The service initially had a major security vulnerability – anyone could access your Amazon Keys by simply changing the URL – but the issue has been patched now. Alternatively, you may create a guest user in AWS for IceBox and grant access to only the Vault Archive and none of the other assets in your Amazon cloud.

What Happens if you Forget the Yahoo Password
http://www.labnol.org/internet/forgot-yahoo-password/25991/
Oct 8th 2012, 15:26
How do you login to any web service if do not remember the password? The answer is easy. →You will click the "forgot password" link on the sign-in page, the website will ask you to provide an alternate email address associated with your account and a password reset link will be sent to that address. Simple.However, if you are using Yahoo Mail, Flickr or any of the other Yahoo services, recovering your account's password involves a few more steps.Yahoo will verify your identity before sending the password reset link.You will be required to provide your date of birth, your country of residence and your postal code and Yahoo will only send the password reset link to your alternate email address if the entered information matches with the data stored in your Yahoo profile.I created a second email account at Yahoo sometime back for testing but did not use the accurate birth date in my profile. I am therefore having trouble getting into that Yahoo account as I no longer remember the birth date I entered at the time of creating the account and without it, Yahoo won't send the password reset link to my alternate address.Do yourself a favor. Go to edit.yahoo.com and make a note of the postal code, date of birth and country that is associated with your Yahoo profile – you may need this information in case you ever forget your Yahoo account's password like I did.Bonus Tip: If you are a Gmail user, keep a record of your account creation date as that information will be required in case you ever lose access to your Google Account.

Why do some Email Messages have the Letter 'J' in them?
http://www.labnol.org/internet/j-letter-in-email-messages/25967/
Oct 8th 2012, 11:06
Why do emails have 'J' in them?You may have received email messages in the past that have the capital letter 'J' in them (see above screenshot). The letter mostly appears at the end of a paragraph but sometimes you may also also find this 'J' in the middle of a sentence. →What is the email sender trying to convey by adding the single letter 'J' to the message? Is it an abbreviation or an Internet slang that you not aware of?I looked at the HTML source of one such email message and instantly got the answer:
<p class=3DMsoNormal>
<span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";>Thanks so much</span>
<span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;'>J</span>
</p>
It turns out that the email was composed and send from Microsoft Outlook. In Outlook, if you add a smiley figure – something like :) or :-) – to your message, the email program automatically converts it into a smiley icon using the Wingdings font.The Wingding fonts is installed on all Windows PCs but isn't available on mobile devices. Hence, if you read that Outlook message on an Android phone or your iPad, the smiley icon is displayed as the capital letter J, which happens to be its Unicode equivalent (0x4A).Also see: Outlook ruins Birthday CakeThe character code of J is the same as Wingdings' smiley icon This story, Why do some Email Messages have the Letter 'J' in them?, was originally published at Digital Inspiration on 08/10/2012 under Microsoft Outlook, Internet.
