Filemail: Email files up to 2GB

by Brad Linder May 7th 2008

It seems like every day a new company comes along with a service that lets you send huge files over email. Or rather, they let you upload a file to a server and then send the download link to a friend. Filemail may be one of the newer kids on the block, but there's a lot to like about this service.

Filemail lets users send files up to 2GB for free. You can also password protect your files, and customize how many times each file can be downloaded and how many days it will be available on the site. Filemail also lets you ZIP and encrypt multiple files. And you can receive email notification when a file is downloaded.

When we took Filemail for a spin, the upload and download speeds were good, but not spectacular, at around 200KB/s. We've had problems with corrupted files the last few times we've tried our previous favorite file sending service, so it's nice to find another alternative.

For $2.91 per month you can sign up for a premium account and send files up to 5GB. Or if you want to send files up to 25GB, you can snag a corporate account for $24.91 per month. Premium and Corporate account holders get a few other benefits as well, including the ability to leave files onine for longer periods, and an option to let each file be downloaded more than 20 times (which is the limit for free users).

Civiballs is a beautiful, soothing physics puzzle Time Waster

I 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.
