Get 6gb of free, online storage with Orbitfiles

by Lee Mathews Oct 14th 2008


Looking for another online file hosting option? Orbitfiles offers 6gb of free storage. For a measly $5 a month, you can upgrade to the "Zeus package" with unlimited storage.

The maximum upload size is 50mb, which is more than enough for what I'm doing with an online file store - namely stashing encrypted backups of my files and my wife's fonts folder (for obvious reasons). Their Hercules Uploader does a good job of taking care of my archiving tasks with minimal effort from me.

You can tag and describe your files, and share only what you want. Orbitfiles will also zip multiple files online and quickly generate embed and BB codes for your site.

Orbitfiles even offers you the opportunity to make some cash by selling your files and referring friends. New signups will earn you shiny new dime, and the commission fee for sales is a very reasonable 2%.

Mozy - PC and Mac online backup you never have to think about

WindowsMacby Jason Clarke Aug 20th 2007

Computer damageWe've mentioned Mozy before, first just over a year ago, then more recently in passing, but somehow we've never mentioned that the service is available for both Windows PCs and Macs. Having used it now for just over a month on a Mac, the surprising thing is that it truly is "set and forget". It's possible to hide Mozy in your user interface so completely that you don't see any clue whatsoever that it is running, and yet it's there, faithfully backing up your precious data.

While we haven't upgraded to the paid version (mainly because we haven't needed to), the free version of Mozy is operating like a champ. Keep in mind that it's not a full-drive backup; for that you should be looking at something like SuperDuper! for the Mac, or Acronis True Image for the PC.

Symantec to release Online Backup Service

by Chris Gilmer Apr 18th 2007

symantec to offer online backup serviceA large expense, and head scratching issue many businesses face is data backup. Should they pony up the cash to develop an internal solution, or do they hunt out external solutions. Symantec, the well known protection company, has opened a solution for small to mid-sized businesses.

Symantec has released its Online Backup Service for beta testing, with a full release later this year. The system is aimed at businesses that have been facing challenges with data protection, offering them an affordable solution with a name they can trust. Symantec's data recovery and backup system would sync critical data to Symantec's data centers under a high level of security and backup systems.

There is no word yet on the cost of the Online Backup Service, but with Symantec's track record at protecting users and businesses, we can guess its going to be a great (if pricey) offering.

Build the highest tower with 99 Bricks - Time Waster

Wrapping your mind around a simple game like 99 Bricks is harder than you might imagine. The object of the game is to build the highest possible tower using only 99 pieces. Sounds easy enough, but you're playing with Tetris pieces and distinctly non-Tetris physics. If you screw up, you don't just leave gaps that you could have used to score points, you cause your whole tower to wobble and collapse.

Pieces also don't lock to a grid in 99 Bricks, the way they do in Tetris. You can wind up with pieces slanted diagonally, and there's an edge of the board that your toppled bricks can fall off of. 99 Bricks is kind of like Jenga, in that it's almost as satisfying to watch your tower crumble as it is to play seriously. Once you get the hang of the way the pieces behave, it's an addictive little game.
