MediaFire - Free unlimited file hosting

MediaFireThere are a host of companies on the interwebs providing file hosting services, and MediaFire is one of them. (A "host" of hosting companies... har!) Okay, anyway, all kidding aside, MediaFire is interesting in that they offer unlimited file sizes, unlimited file uploads, and all with no signup required. They will also allow you to upload multiple files at once, and the service can be used like many other large file emailing services - simply email a pointer to the file from within their interface, and the file has been shared.

In fact, once a file has been uploaded, MediaFire offers multiple ways to share the file; in addition to the email feature, they give you a straight download link to use as you please, HTML link code that can be copied and pasted into a blog or MySpace page (for people that don't know HTML), and even forum link code formatted for phpBB or vBulletin forums.

So how can they afford to provide unlimited uploads with unlimited file sizes? Well, they're using ads to support the service. And apparently it's lucrative enough to allow the service to continue, which is good news for those of us that need to share large files.

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

CiviballsI have an absolute weakness for physics games, and while Civiballs isn't the strongest physics-based game, what it lacks in the physics department it makes up for a few times over in style and fun.

In Civiballs, you are presented with a few colored balls, and your goal is to get those balls into the same-colored urn on the level. The "civi" part of Civiballs is that there are 3 sets of levels to play, each representing a different civilization. While the civilization doesn't affect gameplay, the artwork for each level is beautifully themed to it's appropriate era.

To play the game, you are given only one tool - a sword with which to cut the chains that are holding the balls. The puzzle part of the game is in figuring out what order, and with what timing to cut each chain. Do it right, and all the right balls end up in the right urns, with no stray balls entering an urn (a no-no). Do it wrong, and you get to start over again.

Civiballs is not terribly deep on gameplay; the entire game can be completed in about 15 minutes. But if you enjoy this type of game, it will be a very enjoyable 15 minutes.
