Paragon NTFS & HFS+ for Android Removes Interoperability Barriers between Android and Mac OS / Windows PCs

Incompatibility issues always are troublesome when you work in multiple platforms. Now-a-days, both Windows and Mac are widely used and as such interoperability barriers between Android and Mac OS / Windows PCs are getting strengthened. Very often a Windows user fails to record a program received by an Android-based media center to his USB stick (using NTFS) and a MacOS user copies a new movie onto an HFS+ formatted portable HDD but fails to play that on a Android-based media player. Both of these happens due to the lack of built in drivers for NTFS and HFS+ in Android based Smartphones. Paragon software has recently released a new application called Paragon NTFS & HFS+ for Android, that installs a driver on Android and is currently the only solution available on the market that mounts NTFS/HFS+ formatted USB drives or SD cards automatically!

Incinerate Files with Kakasoft Super File Shredder

Normal File deletion in Windows (Shift + Delete) deletes only its metadata. Actually, the files hides on your hard disk somewhere and Windows only removes the entry from the FAT (file allocation table) so that the system does not see the file. These files can be found and recovered again as long as they haven't been overwritten by new data yet. As such the entire file can be recovered with the use of special data recovery softwares. To avoid privacy and security issues resulting from insecure file deletion, you need a software that will delete every trace of the existing file. Kakasoft Super File Shredder is such a software. It is distributed as Free under GNU public license. The software can quickly shred files by overwriting random bits, 15 times using advanced algorithms, making recovery literally impossible. According to the website:
