Let’s face it: during the year, we all have our favorite online shops. Shops that tailor to our specific needs. On these sites, we have a few usernames that easily remember all our vital information. However, during the holiday season, we will have the urge to separate from our tried and true stores.
For instance, you might check out a clothing store for your wife, a tool store for your husband, a toy store for your kids, an antique store for your parents, and an electronics store for your geek. Chances are, you probably will not frequent ALL of these sites for yourself, outside of the holidays. Because of that, most of these sites will not have your shipping address and credit card information saved.
Your probably thinking, who cares? You can just set up a new account, or make a one time buy with no account (available at some stores). However, you still have to enter all the ridiculous information that online sellers need: name, address, you’ll have to dig through your wallet/purse to find your credit card, then they’ll want to know your mothers maiden name, date of birth, social security number, and galactic interplanetary serial identification construct. OK, OK, maybe its not that bad, but you will undoubtedly waste 5 minutes of your life grilling through their questions; 10 minutes if you are not an expert typer, or not computer savvy.
Those days are now over, because now you have installed RoboForm. RoboForm remembers all this information and more (well… you might have to remember your galactic id # yourself). It (optionally) keeps this information all locked up behind a password, and a secure layer of encryption.
When you go to a website with a long annoying form, you simply click your ‘identity’ button. Then RoboForm springs to life; using some fairly impressive AI, RoboForm will detect each field’s type (credit card #, address line 1, etc) and enter the information as needed. Then, you just breeze through making sure it did not miss anything (very rarely) and you’re done.
If you are worried about your secure information (credit cards, bank accounts), they will all be protected by secure AES encryption. However, if you are especially paranoid, RoboForm does not have ANY required fields. If you don’t feel comfortable entering certain information, just don’t. The time it saves you on whatever information you DO trust it with… will certainly be noticeable.
To top it all off… RoboForm remembers your login information to every website you have an account on. A simple click of your mouse, or tap of a hotkey will instantly log you into all of your existing banks, forums, and social networking sites.
And now the moment you have been waiting for… the 20%. If you act quickly, you can save 20% on RoboForm, RoboForm2Go and GoodSync from RoboForm‘s website by entering the coupon code NEVR1 during checkout. In case some of you are wondering, they decided to hide the coupon code box if you click the image in the middle of their page. To see the coupon box you need to click "buy rf pro" from the upper navigation.
Free Drawing to Reward Our Patient Readers. We ARE still Alive and Kicking.
Monday, January 19th, 2009UPDATE: Our first giveaway (of many to come) has already started, be the first to post, and win your copy now!
Firstly, a big thank you to all our loyal readers who have continued to check in with us over the past few weeks. The holidays ended up overloading us over here, more than expected. However things are starting to slow down, and we’re finally starting to get caught up. A while back, we promised you some articles on getting good deals locally, and they’re still coming. Unfortunately we did not get them ready to post before the holiday rush.
We also had planned a special gift which was never even announced. It was originally planned to be either the week before or the week of Christmas. However, because of the holidays, there was an unexpected delay in processing the licenses. So, unfortunately by the time they were in-hand, it was too late to be either a Christmas or Hanukkah gift. Once we missed the holidays it seemed less urgent, and got side tracked… sorry. We were going to wait for another holiday, but decided a gift is better late than never!
Some time within the next week or so, we are going to be announcing a drawing for 3 free licenses of GoodSync! The drawing will work as follows. Each of the licenses will be given to the people who post comments in the next post about the drawing which will be coming soon. This will likely be the very next post, however if we see something that is just too good to pass up, we will post it first.
The way the drawing will work is as follows: The first person to comment will receive one license. The remaining two will be given to either the best comment (see below, chosen by us), or chosen by random. Which of these two methods we use will be loosely based on the quality and quantity of the comments posted.
When you make your post be SURE to include a VALID email address. This address will not be shown publicly, and you will not receive any spam from us; however, if you do not include a real email address, we will have no way to send you your registration information.
For anyone who doesn’t win, does not want to wait, or needs more than one license; you can always go to the GoodSync website and apply the coupon NEVRG during checkout and you will receive 20% off your whole order.
The most popular uses for GoodSync, in my experience, is the ability to sync your My Documents and/or RoboForm data to a external/flash drive automatically. This is absolutely critical if you make frequent use of the ‘generate’ function in RoboForm when creating new logins. If you do not have your RoboForm data backed up, a hard drive crash could be even more devastating! It is also quite useful to sync your data between RoboForm desktop and RoboForm2Go (usb/u3), so that you have the same information at home and on the road.
My two favorite features are the ability to run when you insert a usb drive, and the option to to ‘tag’ the sync directories. This makes routine backups nearly completely automated. The tagging is to prevent syncing to an incorrect drive that has stolen the original drive letter.
For those who want to prepare for the drawing could do a couple things.
The request at the end of the post announcing the drawing will be to write a comment detailing why you like, or would like to have GoodSync. You could also post about what you plan on using it for. We would also love to hear your comparisons (both positive and negative) between GoodSync and other competing products.
If a post stands out as being especially detailed, useful, thought out, or any other consideration we may make up… That person will likely win one of the licenses before any one line comment. Again, you do not HAVE to post a detailed comment, and writing one does not GUARANTEE you to win the drawing. However, those who do will get extra brownie points, and we all know that everybody loves brownies
Finally, we have to get to the sticky stuff. If you are in any way related to anyone who helps maintain this site, anyone at SiberSystems, or any affiliate thereof, you ARE NOT eligible to enter, or win this drawing. Please refrain from doing so.
PS Feel free to comment below, but this is NOT the post to comment on, to win the drawing! It should be in the next week.
