Dropbox is the easiest way to share and store your files online.

Dropbox works just like any other folder on your computer, but with a few differences.

Here’s how it works:

• Drag and drop to move files around, just like you normally would
• Any files or folders inside Dropbox will get synchronized to Dropbox’s servers and any other computer linked to your account.
• Green checkmarks will appear on top of your files to let you know that they’re synced and up to date.

Your files are always safe. All data is transferred over SSL and encrypted with AES-256 before storage.

Worry-free Syncing

Dropbox keeps track of every change made to any of its contents. Any changes are instantly and automatically sent to any other computer linked to your Dropbox. The Dropbox clients for Windows, Mac and Linux all play nice with one another too!

Dropbox is also smart with how it tracks changes to files. Every time you make a change, Dropbox only transfers the piece of the file that changed (also known as block-level or delta sync), making it easy to work with big files like Photoshop or Powerpoint documents

Not at any of your computers and want to grab one of your files? Just hop onto Dropbox’s web interface for access to your files from anywhere in the world.

The web interface is your Dropbox away from home. Download your files to computers without the Dropbox client, or upload new files to be synced to all your computers.

Dropbox’s web interface is also like a virtual time machine that remembers every change you ever make. View or restore any previous versions of a given file. You can even undelete files that you may have accidentally trashed.

Dropbox’s shared folders make it easy for you to share a bunch of stuff with other people. This makes Dropbox perfect for team projects, music/video editing, and much more.

• Any member of a shared folder can add, edit and delete the contents within.
• Collaborators of your shared folder won’t have access to any of your files outside of that folder.
• Changes made to a shared folder are instantly sent to every member of that folder.

Need to share some files with non-Dropbox users? Just drop files into your Public folder. Any files in here will be given a link that you can send to others in e-mails, IMs, blogs, etc. without requiring people to sign up for Dropbox.

Want to share your pictures with friends and family? Just create a folder within the Photos folder and drop your pictures inside. These folders will be viewable in a gallery on our web interface.

Galleries in your Photos folder also have a unique web address that you can share with others (non-Dropbox users too!) through e-mail, instant messaging, or blogs.

Any speed shortcomings in Apple’s iPhone were the fault of its rival chipset manufacturer ARM, a senior Intel executive said in Taiwan yesterday.

“The shortcomings of the iPhone are not because of Apple,” Intel’s director of ecosystems for its ultra-mobility group Pankaj Kedia said at the Intel Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan. “The shortcomings of the iPhone have come from ARM.”

The comment followed statements from Shane Wall, Intel’s VP, mobility group and director strategic planning, platform architecture and software, ultra-mobility group, on the device’s lack of oomph. “Any sort of application that requires any horse power at all and the iPhone struggles,” he said.

He said that although Apple did try to tackle the internet and achieved a massive buzz due to, according to Wall, great user interface and Apple chief Steve Job’s ability to sell, the hyped device fell short in a number of areas.

Kedia didn’t just stop at the iPhone, claiming ARM was a malaise afflicting smartphones in general. “The smartphone of today is not very smart,” he said. “The problem they have today is they use ARM.”

The discussion came after Wall’s keynote. “If you want to run full internet, you’re going to have to run an Intel-based architecture,” he had said, claiming that Intel processors achieved two to three times the performance of ARM equivalents.

Wall believed the situation was unlikely to change anytime soon, saying Intel was two years ahead of the rival company. He didn’t believe fast, full internet would receive a debut with ARM-based devices in the near future. “Even if they do have full capability, the performance will be so poor,” he said.

Kedia agreed. “I know what their roadmap is, I know where they’re going and I’m not worried.”

Suzanne Tindal travelled to Taipei as a guest of Intel.

Listen up, Beatles fans — your holiday gift has just been located, and it’s on aisle 17 in Bloomingdale’s. The somewhat janky limited edition collector’s box is a dream come true for fanatics of the Fab Four, packing 13 original Beatles’ CDs, an engraved guitar pick, two masters and the “Love” CD — none of which are available via the iTunes Music Store, mind you. Just 2,500 of the $795 sets are available, but — humorously enough — you’ll be stuck ripping and transferring every last disc onto your individually numbered, etched-with-a-Beatles-logo 120GB iPod classic. Ah well, at least this scenario lets you choose your own bitrate, right?

The festival, which will award a series of prizes, runs until 31 October.

As much fun as it is to tinker with Microsoft’s multitouch Surface table, most of its applications have been decidedly gimmicky. By offering a lower price (sooner than MS), more compact design, and more complete suite of software, SmartTech wants to bring multitouch tables to the people who would probably most appreciate them kids. From the video (and press release), it looks as if the SMART Table has a nearly identical ? if not better ? set of capabilities to the Surface: multitouch, gesture support, a 27in screen and a super-simple SDK. Details are slim at the moment, but the price is a comparatively low $7000, so expect to see the SMART Table popping up in more affluent school districts as early as Spring 2009.

Not surprisingly for AT&T, the iPhone 3G is a strong part of their quarterly earnings report. Off the top they added two million net subscribers, ballooning to nearly 75 million total, and it looks like the iPhone 3G played a solid part in landing them. Of the 2.4 million iPhone 3Gs activated last quarter, 40 percent were to new AT&T customers (which doing the math, shows that nearly two-thirds of iPhones are sold outside of the US now). Interestingly, selling so many and subsidizing them so hard actually cost AT&T $900 million this quarter. Oh, and AT&T is still the financial size of a small country: They spent $25.7 billion to make $5.6 billion. [AT&T]

Smile at your naked pictures on your next vacation.

The European commission have proposals of putting x ray cameras that see underneath clothes to be placed at airports. Welcome to fascism.

Being harassed by Airport security already is not enough, they will see you how you came into this world and keep pictures for records. Millions of people that travel everyday to mayor aiports will be photographed.

What happened to our rights?! Your Goverment is full of perverts.

In time of world crisis apparently Kenya has the money to expand their airport for the Air Force One to land.

Obamas father was born in Nyanza Province. In Kisumu, Obama, is a hero to them; They even named a local beer after him! (losers).

In the Nyanza Province Mps said that they already know Obama is going to win this year Presidential elections, so they already have started the expansion of the airport with some minor delays that is making them go a little behind schedule, but they expect the project to be completed by 2010.

But seriousy Kenya spends money on expanding their aiport, but doesnt feed the poor? or help the needed?
