With the internet being used more and more everyday and increase in social networking, file sharing is of great importance. There are tons of services that lets you share files for free. Right from Dropbox to Box.net to RapidShare. However, I have been using Upload Robots for some time now and have found it to be the next step in file sharing. It has all aspects of a perfect file sharing host - Simple, Fast, Efficient. The most impressive is their interface, a beautiful website right from the front page, sign up to dashboard. After all simplicity is the key to efficiency. Also, when I first uploaded a file, I was amazed by the speed. It is seriously fast! This makes it a great choice for file sharing. Further more, It is a media temple venture so I like it even more as I love media temple.

With more social networking and web communications, sharing files online is becoming a basic need, and not just file sharing, its sharing files with a click! There are great solutions out there like Dropbox, ZumoDrive and many others. However, today I came across an awesome Mac application that lets you share files with a drag! The unique feature about this app is that you have to use your own FTP server to upload and share files.

I really wanted to write this post from a long time. But with lack of Blogging time, I was covering more of current issues. I just read about Government sites implementing OpenID and even Facebook is doing it, so I said I will write this post at once. There have been similar posts over the course of time, but now this topic is getting more interesting. So here it goes…
As the internet is growing at a rapid pace and everything is heading to the cloud, the number of website memberships increase. Right from E-mail, Online Banking, Shopping, Forums, Blogs and of course Social Networking. With so many login credentials to remember, OpenID came up with the strategy of 1 login for all websites. You can use your OpenID to login to your E-Mail, Online Banking, Shopping, Forum, Blogs and Social sites. This is indeed a great way to go. You also have several OpenID providers to choose from, so you can get OpenIDs of your choice.

And with the new taskbar, the Stacks look even more appealing and useful. In this post, I will be covering 2 different Stack applications: StandaloneStack and 7stacks.

Windows hacker Rafael Rivera has found that Windows 7 has additional login backgrounds. This is an additional customization feature to be added by Microsoft which would allow users to have custom login backgrounds. It would be nice for organizations to have their company logo on the login screen or just home users to have a better design on their login screen. However, this feature would only be enabled in the newer builds or the Release Candidate of Windows 7. But Rafeal has got a trick to let you change your login background in Windows 7 beta.
