Although it has already become a trend to watch movies on computers, there are still some people who love to watch them on TV. For them, what counts the most is the high picture quality displayed in a large HD screen. They don't care about the convenience, but a visual feast.

So for those people, if they want to play an iTunes M4V movies on their TV, either should they own an Apple TV or a DVD creation software, like iDVD. For those with Apple TV, they can sync iTunes to their home TV so to play the movies on it. For those with iDVD, what they should do first is to burn the movie to a DVD so to play it on TV with DVD player.

But here comes a problem, that is, iDVD doesn't support DRM protected iTunes M4V files. In order to import the movies to iDVD, you need to convert them into the formats that iDVD can recognize, like MP4, MOV, before burning. In that case, a M4V converter becomes a must.

What's better than an iPhone, or even an iPad for that matter? How about a table with full multi-touch capabilities that just requires a simple cable connection from your iPhone?

That's exactly what the guys at Table.Connect (their website isn't currently up and running) are demonstrating in the video on the next page. The heck with Microsoft's $12,500 Surface, a similar table with touch capabilities -- this is something that a lot of iOS fans will eat up.

There's no word on availability or pricing yet. What do you think about it?

Imagine if you lost every file on your computer in 10 minutes. Would you be able to recover your data from a backup, or would you spend the next several days trying to track down all of the information that you had stored on your hard drive? Windows Vista and Windows 7 make it easy to schedule backup sessions that will create copies of your most important data and transfer it to a secure place.

Before You Start

1. Select which files are most important. Certain things, such as computer games and applications, don't usually need to be backed up. You can easily reinstall these files from the original source in the event of a system failure. The most important documents to back up are items that you have created, like documents and photos.

 2. Consider creating multiple backups. Having one backup may seem like enough, but a problem that you were unaware of could be present on a backup copy. In this event, recovering your data without experiencing the same problem may be impossible. Maintaining a cycle of two or three different backups is usually a good policy.

 3. Decide how often you want to back up your files. If you use your computer daily for business, a daily backup of important files is a good idea. If you are a more casual user, a weekly backup may suffice.

Step by Step: Using Windows or a Backup Program

Step 1 Open the Start menu and click Control Panel.

Step 2 From the Classic View, open Backup and Restore Center. Using the new control panel, clickBack up your computer under the 'System and Maintenance' heading.

Step 3 Click the Back up files button from the Backup and Restore Center menu.

Step 4 Select where to store the backed up files. The first drop-down menu allows you to choose from local drives such as a second hard drive, a DVD, or a recovery partition on your current hard drive. The second drop-down menu lets you select a location that you can connect to via a network. If you do not see your desired backup destination, try selecting the Refresh option from the drop-down menu.

Step 5 Click the Next button after selecting your desired location.

Step 6 Select which types of files to back up, and then click the Next button to proceed.

Step 7 Assign a schedule to your backup so that Windows will know how often to create a new backup of your files. Click Save settings and start backup when you are ready to create your backup.
