Depending on your use case, Truecrypt may still be ok (as long as you don't use 7.2, use 7.1 or below).
Despite what happened with it's developers, there doesn't seem to be any known exploits as of yet. If you just need 'good-enough' encryption, it's still fine. Bitlocker works too, but restricts you to Windows.
IMHO, if you need better encryption than Truecrypt, then you need one of these bad boys.[^]

Essentially
If what you are planning to encrypt is so sensitive that Truecrypt isn't sufficient, then just don't store it digitally at all

It's about risk at this point. We have need for backing up the hard copies on a non-cloud service and easy enough for non-tech group member to be able to use it. If it is in Truecrypt, then I would assume a pro (or lucky noob) would be able to break its encryption if it were to be physically compromised.

No, one of these[^].
I mean, that never failed before, right?

They still can be physically compromised..... key's letters can be mixed up out of QUERTY etc.

If you don't work for MI-5, and your porn isn't likely to be sought after by government agencies with huge decryption facilities, TrueCrypt is perfectly secure enough.
If you do work for MI-5, just leave your unencrypted laptop on the back seat of your car.

I was addicted to the Hokey Pokey but I turned myself around.
I'll get my coat, I know where the door is I'll show myself out!
Have you ever just looked at someone and knew the wheel was turning but the hamster was dead?

Be warned, as you're breaking your addiction, at some point you're gonna shake it all about

My future wife experienced screen sharing for first time. She was amazed. Everything of this sort comes under the word online for her. Being a medical professional, I do not really expect much from her. She wants to learn some programming for she can make her own website. Life is going to be fun.

I was on a google hangout call a year or so ago with 3 other people. Blew me away, how you could see everyone, and whoever was speaking got the main window focus. It was fast and in sync, which I cannot say for Skype or, actually, subsequent Hangout calls. Maybe the people who were on the call were in high bandwidth areas (I know one was in SF.)
Anyways, I've been in this industry for years, I worked on video surveillance over the phone (using 14.4K modems and custom encryption algorithms), seen the 'net grow and grow, and frankly, I am still blown away by the fact that I can chat and see the people I'm chatting with in real time.
Why any "desk" job requires a 100% on site presence (or even 10%) with all this tech is absolutely beyond me. But don't get me started.
