Seven Mistakes PC Users Can Avoid

See article here

1. Use pre-installed software (use DeCrapifier)

2. Accept Default download and install presets (check for 'checks')

3. Cleaning Registry to 'speed up' PC (you may slow it down)

4. Too much defragmentation of your PC hard drive (Windows does it automatically)

5. Failure to restart your PC (try once a week)

6. Failure to backup PC (use Crashplan)

7. Failure to keep apps and anti-virus up-to-date (check for updates often - install Secunia PSI)

Get Google Cloud Storage but ...

I totally like, agree and use Google for many services - email, Google Docs, Google+ and this Blog. However, I do not use it blindly. Why? read on ... from Google Terms and Conditions

"Your Content in our Services: When you upload or otherwise submit content to our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes that we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. 

The rights that you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting and improving our Services, and to develop new ones. This license continues even if you stop using our Services (for example, for a business listing that you have added to Google Maps)."

Bottom line: use all the services and just do not put sensitive, personal or anything you would prefer NOT be made public in Google.
