Carputers News and Computer Tips

We blogged in July about Free Downloadable Business Forms.  Here’s the next generation:

docstoc is a user generated community where you can find and share professional documents. Find free legal documents and free business documents. Upload your documents for all the world to share.  In addition, users can store their documents in their own personal online folders for anytime, anywhere access. 

The docstoc FAQ can be found here.  This is another online service worth watching!

Patric Herber writes for Mashable:

“Search, the holy grail that pushed Google into global Internet domination, is still coveted by many. The fact that most users don’t even consider switching Google for anything else doesn’t mean that there’s no innovation going on in the field of search. Quite the contrary; which can also be seen from this list. “

For more on search engines, be sure to check out the Alt Search Engines blog.  Their unique approach is to ”expand coverage of search engines to include the hundreds of alternative / niche search engines.”  They feature a monthly top 100 list of alternative search engines that we’ve discussed here before.

“(This) short report is a plain-English explanation of badware threats to user privacy and security, based on our research over the past year. It explains online security issues such as compromised websites, social networking scams, and other badware trends that pose significant risk to the average internet user.”

The report is a great explanation in layman’s terms of what computer users are up against.  It is highly recommended reading.
