Gladinet Mounts Web Storage Apps as Virtual Drives [Featured Windows Download]

Another step towards cloud computing. However, if your files are hosted with say Media Temple this ap wont work. It does work with Amazon S3, Flickr, & Google Docs.

In theory it is just fooling you to work like your OS. But as computer use becomes more and more application heavy it is making more sense to simplify and streamline often used processes.

Keeping track of thumb drives multiple computers, phones, web apps, and online storage get’s confusing. What is worse is spending a measurable amount of time transferring files from one place to another. If you could auto sync that would be handy. So I add a new .mp3 to my laptop, it is auto-copied on all storage devices. Yeah that is what I want.

The whole notion of uber-software dev creating easy to use for the consumer tools and putting professional technicians in the cold fascinates me.

“This book is an attempt to tell the story of the battles over intellectual property, the range wars of the information age. I want to convince you that intellectual property is important, that it is something that any informed citizen needs to know a little about, in the same way that any informed citizen needs to know at least something about the environment, or civil rights, or the way the economy works.”

“Whenever his son needed any information, he would open up YouTube, type in the search term and then just watch the videos that showed up as matches. He never Googled anything; he never went to any other site; his entire web experience was confined to YouTube videos.”

Thus proving my last post’s point.

Masheable reported (in May) that Disqus has added “video commenting” to it service. This is a big deal that I think will soon become common.

Why Cory Doctorow? I mean there is the red cape and the goggle thing, but that is just eccentric, not douchey.
