Watching files in our computer or mac, we do realize that most of the file extensions wake up in our brains reasonable doubts of the meaning, most still popular like jpg, png, gif, doc etc…

But still others are rather a mistery for us, this site helps with the description of each extension and encourage us to support and help others adding comments and new extensions name, kind of social networking growing website sharing knowledge for Microsoft Windows, MAC OS X and Unix based operating systems.

It also gives advice how to remove spy ware and links you to programs that scan the computer and help you solving this problems.

Sometimes it´s nice to read a little bit but there is not always a book or a magazine available, most phones these days are java enabled and support text reading.

This website offers per free download (you can donate by PayPal) books that you can transfer to your phone rather by blue tooth or direct download, the book its´self comes with a reader program integrated which enables the possibility to :

Adjust the font size, Adjust the Vision at Night, Navigates per Chapter,
Pause & Auto-resume function, resumes to accommodate incoming calls, Auto-bookmark.

Books are cataloged in several tags such as Artist, Philosophy - Adventure - Historical - Mistery etc.

So, why not reading a book in a different way?

GDrive is coming

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:38:41 +0000

The possibility to store files on line like music, images or documents is already a fact as we dispose from services like Flickr, Picassa, Gmail, Google Docs etc…

But what if we could upload the whole computer on line and have access to it from any where on the world?

That´s the idea of Google with Gdrive, which is going to offer a massive Storage to upload all our files on line, similar services to this are Microsoft´s Skydrive that disposes 25Gb storage but with a maximum of 50MB / File other services like ” Live Mesh ” offer more services but less space.

Google offers for free 5Gb on Gmail and 1GB on Picasa Web Albums images, if you are interested in purchasing extra storage you ´ll find the information here.

You can already download GMail Drive 1.0.13 which creates a virtual file system on your computer to storage files into your GMail account.
Available to download on Fileforum.

When you launch the application you will find going on the data of your computer a GMail Drive symbol as if you connected an extern storage, double click on it and you will be asked to sign in on your gmail account.

As it is a local application it works the same way as moving files from one folder to another, pretty simple. Available are 7Gb space storage.

Test it!

More information about File storage and usable applications you can find under my Partner Blog Roguedeals - Better Ways to Use Files.

Cluuz Search

admin — Tue, 20 Jan 2009 00:54:45 +0000

Cluuz is a semantic web browser based on cluster graphs, image extraction an tag clouds. It displays the relevant of the search by images, combined links and tags, its more a visual browser with text results, making it a new web 3.0 search engine.

In their own words:

The difference between standard search engines and Cluuz is in the fact that Cluuz does some work for you. A standard search engine shows links in a list. Cluuz instead peers into the searched web pages, extracts important terms and images, clusters them and gives them in chart format (semantic graph) and in a tag cloud where you can click on any entity to further focus your search

Is this the new way of searching?
Think about it!
