The Internet Is Failing The Website Preservation Test

I blogged a few months back about the increasing problem of dead links (known as link rot) on research web sites. Not surprisingly this problem is not isolated to academic websites. An article by Rob Miller in TechChrunch, called "The Internet Is Failing The Website Preservation Test," makes the case for a a digital Library of Congress to preserve and protect all of the content on the internet to counter this growing problem. Preserving the integrity of the web for posterity cannot he (and others) argue be left to content publishers or non-profits like the Internet Archives Wayback Machine or the British Librarys UK Web Archive. The web is such a vital information source to us all know it must be preserved for future historians.

Recycle Bin for your portable devices

Hi all!!!
I am back with a very important utility software - iBin

Whenever we accidentally delete a file from our computer, we can recover it from our Recycle Bin.
But when we delete from a Pen Drive, it is deleted permanently and is not put into the recycle bin of our computer. This application becomes very useful at that time.

It functions same as a Recycle Bin in your PC. The deleted filr are put into a recycle bin on the pen drive.

It is a small and stand-alone portable application. To begin, download and place it on your flash drive and run it to create the iBin folder. This will be your portable recycle bin that will store all your deleted files. You may configure a larger flash drive with a lot of files. In a nutshell, iBin will indexe the entire drive to build a list of files it should protect and send to the recycle bin.
