 Recovering from a hard disk crash can be a tedious and time consuming job. Having an image backup handy can eliminate all that hassle and have your computer up and running again in no time.

No one really expects a disk crash but drive failures do happen—and often at the most inconvenient times.

 Texas may be best known for "Big Oil." But the oil that could some day make a dent in the country's use of fossil fuels is small. Microscopic, in fact: algae. Literally and figuratively, this is green fuel.
"Algae is the ultimate in renewable energy," Glen Kertz, president and CEO of Valcent Products, told CNN while conducting a tour of his algae greenhouse on the outskirts of El Paso.
