Hey, do me a favor? Next time you go on down to the Piggly Wiggly, see if they've got them there tablet six packs? I won't have 'em all, I promise; I just want a couple for the road.

And on top of all that, we've got some really cool Gadgets in Hand to share with you, ranging from the wearable to the virtual (network, that is).

Backblaze
Whether you have a Mac or a PC, Backblaze runs natively on your system and gives you unlimited online backup for your recipes, documents, music, photos, and videos. If you've never heard of it, that's okay – we hadn't either until recently, but now we feel sheepish about that. Why? Because Backblaze has restored over 10 Billion files –that's billion with a "B"– and has backed up over 150 Petabytes of data for its customers. You can access your online files from anywhere you have an internet connection, using the easy web interface or the Backblaze app for iOS and Android – and if you need a USB hard drive for a larger restore, Backblaze has that too.
It's simplicity itself, right down to the pricing: just $5/month per computer for unlimited, unthrottled backup ... and if you're a Pocketnow Weekly listener (Protip: you are), then you get a free two-week trial. How awesome is that? (Protip: pretty awesome.) Go to to claim yours.
Backblaze. Backing up is easy. Restoring data is complicated.
