1. Find My iPhone (Free)

Losing an iPhone is scary, but with Find My iPhone it doesn’t have to be. With this app, you can log on to any iOS device and sign in using your Apple ID, allowing you to track your phone on a map, play a sound, display a personal message, lock your device, or wipe it clean of personal data. Ideally, you’ll be able to track down your phone and get it back, but if not at least your personal information can be erased from the phone.

Perfect for businesses that let employees use their phones for company and personal messaging or for sports teams that want to create an easy to manage messaging group.

TigerText works on pretty much any device including iOS, Android, Windows and BlackBerry.

3. LastPass Password Manager ($1/month)

With so many email accounts, bank accounts, shopping sites and social networking sites, it can be difficult to remember all of those passwords.

It also has a secure password generator to keep your passwords fresh. It works on multiple devices including iOS, Android, Windows and BlackBerry.

4. Call Blocker (Free)

Call Blocker is the best receptionist you’ll ever have. The app comes with a black list that rejects unwanted calls, forwards calls, or sends an automated SMS message to missed or ignored calls. It can also block annoying SMS messages and back up your contacts list so you always have a spare copy. Call Blocker will also delete your call history and messages between you and a contact for ultimate privacy. This app works with multiple platforms, including iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

5. Lookout Security and Antivirus ($2.99/month)

Lookout has basic loss and backup protection, but it also comes with antivirus software that keeps your phone safe from unwanted viruses. The app blocks harmful URLs and performs weekly antivirus scans of emails, apps and other files. Lookout can detect and remove viruses and spyware from your phone so that it runs quickly and safely. Plus, the app can lock or locate lost phones and backup and restore information if your phone is accidentally erased. Users rave about Lookout being the best security app out there. The app runs on major platforms like iOS and Android.

It's compatible with iOS, Android and BlackBerry.

7. Silent Circle ($29-40/month)

Originally designed for military personnel to communicate securely, Silent Circle provides complete confidentiality between you and other Silent Circle users. Phone calls, texts, emails and videos are completely encrypted when sent between Circle users so that they are the only ones able to access the information.

How to create a bootable Windows USB drive.


A common use of a bootable USB flash drive is to use it for booting into Windows. This can allow you to perform diagnostics on a computer that has hardware issues or can't boot into Windows. You can also use the flash drive to install Windows, instead of using the Windows installation CD.
This guide will outline making a bootable USB flash drive with Windows XP, Vista, and 7. Before we begin, it's important to note that the computer you want to use your bootable USB drive in will need to have the capability of booting to a USB drive. Most recent computers built since Windows Vista was released are capable of booting to a USB device. Prior to the Windows Vista timeframe, it's hit or miss with motherboards.
USB boot options in BIOS (CMOS) setup
To determine if a computer is capable of booting to a USB device, access the computer's BIOS and check the bootable device list. If a USB device is listed, set the USB drive to be the first boot device. If you do not see a USB device in the list of bootable devices, your BIOS is not capable of booting to a USB device. (NOTE: You may need to have your USB flash drive plugged in when you access the BIOS).
