Google Drive vs. Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync, and others: a cloud sync storage face-off

Google Drive vs. Dropbox, SkyDrive, SugarSync, and others: a cloud sync storage face-off
Google's very own "Loch Ness monster," also known as Google Drive, has finally launched. It's the new face of Google Documents, and it's also Google's oft-rumored Dropbox-killer. It enters a scene crowded with competitors besides Dropbox that let you sync multiple folders, collaborate with friends, and stream data to your mobile device — so how does Drive fare? We'll take a look at the top apps that let you sync files between all of your devices automatically, share files using password protection, pick which folders you want to sync, and do anything else you might want to do with a syncing app. Sticky TOC engaged! Google Drive Google Drive While Google Drive isn't much more than a Docs rebranding that syncs to a folder on your computer, it has a few key features that make it worth checking out. In terms of everyday use, Drive offers the same drag-and-drop syncing as Dropbox, and lets you pick which folders inside Drive you want to sync from within the desktop app. Dropbox Dropbox SugarSync

Best Free Antivirus Software Comodo Antivirus is my top pick for advanced users, or for Intermediate users who are okay with an antivirus software which will occasionally ask them for input. However, if you do not fall into those categories, or for any other reason find it to not be a good fit for you, then you will likely find my next pick suitable. Also, for those who prefer a complete solution, there is always Comodo Internet Security (CIS), which is also free and includes a firewall in addition to all other components which already come with Comodo Antivirus. Firstly, I will note that I am a volunteer moderator (not employee) on the Comodo forums. However, this is certainly not the reason I chose this for the number one position. Comodo Antivirus also uses the cloud to facilitate the detection of the most recent malware, as do many other Free Antiviruses reviewed in this article. Panda Cloud Antivirus is an excellent choice for average users, who may find Comodo Antivirus too confusing. Avast! Comodo Antivirus

Web 2.0 Directory | Web 2.0 Applications throckmorton hello my name is throckmorton... lately a few folks have asked why this little blog is dubbed "throckmorton". as with most (if not all) things, there is a story. in college, my friends were liberal arts folks -- mostly english or fine arts or PLS (notre dame's great books program -- the PLS stood for "program of liberal studies" or "probably law school"). however, every rule has an exception, and my exceptions were my friends amy and adrienne (also my three-times-a-roommate) who were both math majors. amy and adrienne had to take a physics class as part of their required courses. the textbook that they used was full of story problems about the mysterious "your cousin throckmorton", as in: Your cousin Throckmorton is playing with the clothesline. He unties one end, holds it taut, wiggles the end up and down sinusoidally with frequency 2.00Hz and amplitude 0.075m. or, workless refrigerator

The Edible Woman Audio Book | Margaret Atwood | Download The Edible Woman This may have been the first book I read of Atwood's - probably 13-14 years ago - a recommendation from a writing mentor, please forgive how pretentious that sounds. (Lady Oracle may have been my first). Reading this book for the first time as a 22-23 year old, I was amazed by how much I was experiencing the same conundrums as our protagonist. She struggles with feminism and femininity, a woman's place in society and in the home. She is working a job that was just a j-o-b (and during the time this novel was written, it was almost just assumed that when the woman married, she would quit her job - especially when she is marrying someone as Marian is marrying) While I wasn't getting married, I was watching all my friends take that step. The narration is ok - I give her 3 stars because her tones and inflections could be slightly better, more in rhythm, but I've listened to the audiobook I think 3 times now, so I obviously don't hate her reading of it.

Une discipline faussement aisée - Réussir son marketing Web "Le marketing web est un métier qui est fait par des personnes qui ne l'ont pas appris à l'école. Ce n'est pas le seul dans ce cas mais, dans l'histoire moderne, peu de disciplines qui n'étaient enseignées nulle part ont pris si rapidement une telle ampleur. À l'heure où j'écris ces lignes, il existe bien des cours dans des universités qui couvrent ce domaine, mais dans leur grande majorité, ces lieux de formation en sont encore au commencement de cette aventure. "Faire de la publicité sur internet est paradoxalement très facile et en même temps assez compliqué" [...] Si tout se passe comme prévu, cette première campagne ne donnera pas les effets escomptés.

Why The MPAA Can't 'Win The Hearts And Minds' Of The Public: File Sharing Is Mainstream A few weeks ago we wrote about a new "digital music index" from London-based Musicmetrics looking at the popularity of file sharing by location in the UK. The results showed that the act of file sharing was mainstream, rather than a limited activity. The same group has now released a US version of its report, which more or less shows the same thing. Americans downloaded more than 97 million albums and singles using BitTorrent during the first half of 2012, with Gainesville, FL named as the country’s “pirate capital” in an influential new report. Of the 97 million torrents downloaded across the USA, around 78 percent were albums and 22 percent singles. The report admits that not all of the songs being downloaded were unauthorized, but suggests that since many of them are, the characterizations are fair. Karaganis explains that some seem to think that there are just two views of file sharing: This, of course, is the point that we've been trying to get at for many, many years.
