Use Tubes to share files
by Emily Price Mar 1st 2007 at 7:00AM
Tubes is a application designed to simply file sharing on the web that works similar to an IM program for your files. In order to share content with a friend or coworker you merely need to invite them to have access to your tube and drop the files you want to share in. Once you grant tube access to a particular person then an image of your Tube shows up on their desktop and files dropped from your desktop into the Tube are instantly be accessible to others who have Tube access.
This is awesome for those of that have work with others on projects and have to trade files constantly giving everyone an easy place to put the files where everyone else working on a project can have access to them. Tubes is a PC only application and can be downloaded for free from the Tube's website.

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.

I've been watching this company since January - they are gettin more buzz each day. Finally decided to install and it works great for a beta. Also have it running on Parallels on Mac and can drag and drop with ease.

I have been using Tubes since its launch and it is awesome! I am able to share my digital content with myself. So whatever I put into my tube in the office is automatically sent to my tube at home! There is nothing out there like it. www.tubesnow.com

I have been using Tubes since it launched and it is amazing! I share a lot of my digital stuff with myself actually. When I am at work I save all my files into my Tube and then when I go home the stuff I saved in that Tube is on my home computer. It is really a time saver! You guys should try it out. www.tubesnow.com

I like it, but beware it consumes a lot of resources. When synchronizing, it grinds my system almost to a halt.

Hi All,
My Dad just bought a HP computer abd when he boots up and gets to his desk top he gets an icon saying: Windows Installer which then goes to this Icon saying: TryApp and no matter what he does he cannot get rid of it? We've tried every thing that we know of with no results?
Is there anyone out there with the knowledge on how to get rid of these icons?
Thanks Very Much,
Kevin and his Dad: Bob
