About the Finder... - Ars Technica. It's no secret that I don't like the Mac OS X Finder.
Almost every article I've written about Mac OS X has included a litany of criticisms, from small annoyances to fundamental philosophical differences. Some readers agree with my criticisms, and some disagree, and some aren't sure exactly what the problem is. 5 cool things to sync with Dropbox on your Mac - Ars Technica. If you're not already familiar with file syncing service Dropbox, you should be.
The easiest way to describe Dropbox is that it acts as a type of online storage that gives you access to your files wherever you go, no matter which computer you're on, what OS you're using, and where you are in the world. No need to use a DVD, USB drive, or e-mail to transfer important files. However, Dropbox is really much more than that: you can access and work on files even when you're offline, share folders with friends and coworkers, and most importantly (for this writeup, anyway), sync settings for numerous applications without having to fork over any cash.
