Omnidrive, a complete storage aggregator
by Chris Gilmer Nov 10th 2006 at 9:00AM
Omnidrive is an online storage service offering 1GB of free space that can be accessed from a Windows app or web interface (Linux and mobile clients are in the works). The system allows users to store photos and files from their desktop similiar to a regular OS, and choose to share their files or keep them private. If you find yourself always transferring files back and forth from device to device or sending a lot of files and photos to people, Omnidrive files can easily be shared and accessed by the individuals you choose. When sharing files with a person, the shared file will instantly be dropped into their Omnidrive account, and a notification email sent to them. Omnidrive also has the ability to publish files to the web with a unique URL that anyone can access. There is also a music player that song files can be played through without downloading them first. The Omnidrive dashboard can be accessed either from a web client in any browser, a Windows client, or Mac client application. Omnidrive is a really simple online storage area. Its clean design makes navigation and working with files easy. Check out some screenshots of Omnidrive in action after the jump.

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...

One thing that wasn't mentioned was that Omnidrive is currently invitation only. You have to have a invitation code in order to create an account. FYI.

Did anyone else notice the vista graphics rip-offs?
