File hosting is a big issues these day. Files are getting larger and larger and because there is always a risk of losing or breaking your hard drive, it is a good idea to also backup your files online. Here are the top 5 file hosting sites available today.
FileSavr.com makes file hosting easier with Web 2.0 technology and the use of Ajax and Flash. FileSavr has 10 GB upload size limit, currently the largest available on the internet. This allows users the flexibility to upload any large file of 10 GB or less.
FileDropper’s beauty is in its simplicity.It has one click file hosting where you simply click on the upload button and select your file.After the file is uploaded you are taken to the page where the file is hosted.If the file is an image, it shows the image directly on the page for easier sharing.Upload size is an impressive 5 GB.
FileFactory lets you host files up to 300MB for free. You don’t have to register and there is nothing to download. Your files can be downloaded an unlimited number of times! One thing we found very annoying and spammy about FileFactory was the number of ads they have on the page.
With File Den’s free file hosting and online storage service it’s easy to share files across the internet with friends, family, work associates or anyone else. They allow our users to direct link to their files also giving you the oppurtunity to embed your files into your webpages, myspace or other social networking profiles.
Fileqube has an eye-pleasing design that shows its intentions well.When you upload a personal file it gives you a download link, a link to remove the file, and embed code to drop your file’s link on a website.The only downside is the 150MB file size, which is rather small with some of the other sites in comparison.
There has been a lot of reports this morning about the Pirate Bay and their trial. Im going to list some of the best sources at the bottom of this post if you are interested in reading. Anyways, the Pirate Bay trial was very interesting indeed. At times the trial was just a media circus and it didn’t really have much substance. However, I wanted to just write a few of my thoughts and also pose a few questions because I’m not an expert at copyright law, especially in Sweden.
The Pirate Bay trial came to a verdict stage but after watching Peter Sunde chat about the results Im really too clear on the actual verdict and what is going to happen to the site and also the people involved.
According to TorrentFreak who was the first to report on the verdict (because it was leaked from the court), all four of the guys involved has been fined and also received a jail time of a year each. However, as you can tell from the press conference Peter Sunde did, is that he is not actually in jail. Here in the UK the process is quite simple. A court case is either civil or a criminal. In Sweden it seems as though they first of all don’t define a court case, and considering that copyright law is a civil case that also means that jail time is not an option.
Peter Sunde also suggested that this was only the first verdict and implied that it was in a very low level court and the Pirate Bay is going to continue to appeal and this whole process could take between 4-5 years.
Am I right on all this information or am I missing something here?
What is the future of file sharing
Let’s say this whole thing plays out in the high court and The Pirate Bay loses. Let’s say BitTorrent completely ceases to exist as a result. (Just play along for a minute.) Would that, then, be the end of online file-sharing?
The answer: of course not. Even in that extreme (and extremely unlikely) scenario, little would be accomplished in the grand scheme of things. Technology is constantly evolving. Just as more advanced decentralized peer-to-peer networks sprung up in the wake of Napster’s shutdown, new alternatives would surface once again were a site like The Pirate Bay to lower its sails. Already, countless other methods exist for exchanging data with ease, and more will only pop up as the months wear on.
Have you ever wanted to take over the world in the same way as either Microsoft or Google? Well there is a board game called Risk that used to be very popular, and I thought I would provide everyone with a couple of places to play the game for free online.
The Facebook application – At last this may truly be it… a Facebook application that is not either completely pointless or annoys the hell out of me. Attack! is similar to Risk and can be played against your friends or anyone else who has the application (2% of Facebook users apparently). Just be aware, no matter how good you think you are… everyone else is better!
Java Risk – When you visit the download site this game sure may not look pretty and you may even think it not worth downloading at all. However the actual game is fairly decent. There are a large range of options and player AI, and even a number of extra maps to download when you get bored of the original. Luckily too, Java Risk doesn’t seem to have gone the way of most small developer games and still gets the odd update. The last one was only a month or so ago and provided an installer for Vista.
Conquest – If you want a nice simple and easy game of Risk then Conquest is a good choice. Unfortunately the AI is very predictable and can be counted on to make the exact same moves and strategies again and again. What this game is especially suited for is Pocket PC’s and you can download a version designed just for that right here.
Play online with LandGrab – This is maybe the best online Risk game I’ve seen. After registering for an account you can start playing. If you particularly like it then you can also purchase a premium account.
Have you ever wanted to watch a movie online but don’t want to have to download anything to view it? Well the answer is Watch-Movies-Online.tv. All movies on Watch Movies are full length and there is no downloading required.
The site lets you search for movies, browse them alphabetically or by genre such as action, fantasy, drama, sci-fi, horror, thriller, adventure, comedy, war and animation. You can also check out latest releases. Each movie is rated by site users so you can easily find out the movie quality before watching it.

Like Shareaza, Kaaza was one of best and most popular p2p during early days of p2p evolution. but in past few year due to many issues like virus infected files, lawsuite, spywares, Kazaa has lost its
popularity.
However kazaa has been continually trying to make Kazaa network virus and spyware free with many new features like built in virus scanner, infected file blocking made available in latest Kazaa Client to protect users.

eMule is one of the biggest and most reliable peer-to-peer file sharing clients around the world thanks to its open source support and based on edonkey2000 client.

Ares is one of my favorite p2p program and I have been using it from last 4 years, ares network is not that much big as compared to other p2p but its completely free from viruses, spywares and adwares.
I haven’t got any infected files or corrupted installer. Ares List is used more then normal Ares client because of its low size, speed and performance.
Soluseek central server type of P2P file sharing application. Soluseek is good old
p2p file sharing program best of sharing music files. i haven’t tried soluseek ever but have heard that soluseek is best of music, audio, Mp3 file download. Supported Operating system:

Everyday we get some interesting emails from iPhone application developers who are looking for a bit of extra press and insight into their apps. Today I thought I would run through iCascade a new game for the iPhone and iPod Touch.
iCascade is a puzzle game that comes with a new addictive gameplay. Try to find the right place for your blocks, but think ahead because the playing field rotates! Get points for 3 or more contiguous blocks. iCascade is a very addictive game that really promotes a huge amount of thought process (well for me anyways).

There are so many financial applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch already, but how do you know which ones are actually worth using? Mint has put together a great list of the top 10 Financial applications everyone should use, so I thought I would post our top 5 and then let you head over to Mint to see the rest.
Wall Street Traders swear by the Bloomberg Terminal to analyze real-time financial market data, place trades, and get news and price quotes. Bloomberg Mobile isn’t quite the same thing but it is a beautifully designed app that provides up-to-the-minute news, stock quotes, company descriptions, and price chart and market trend analysis. The My Stocks feature is a more detailed replacement for Apple’s stock Stocks app. And Bloomberg Mobile takes full advantage of the iPhone’s position sensor by providing larger charts when you rotate the phone to a horizontal position.
Bank of America’s iPhone app, Mobile Banking is little more than a wrapper around its existing mobile site (which isn’t optimized for the iPhone) but if this is your bank you’ll still find it useful. You can use it to check available balances, pay bills, and transfer funds on-the-go 24/7. Its best feature is its ability to find the nearest ATM and Banking Center locations using the GPS in the iPhone, something that isn’t possible with the mobile site. BofA’s Online Banking Guarantee is its assurance that you won’t be responsible for any unauthorized transactions and it uses advanced encryption technology to prevent unauthorized access to your accounts and to protect your online identity.
In Japan many have thrown away their wallets in favor of paying for everything from train tickets to beer from a vending machine with their mobile phones. We’re not quite there yet but the PayPal app provides a tantalizing glimpse at this future. It provides complete access to your PayPal account allowing you to check your balances and send money to your friends and family, all from your iPhone. It supports 16 currencies and is secured by your existing PIN or password. It’s a good start but I’d like to see it go further. Missing is any way of displaying your transaction history and I’d also like to see it use the notification indicator on the app icon to show when money has arrived in your account.
Designed to help you navigate the often treacherous waters of financial lending, Loan Shark provides a number of features that let you calculate and compare loans from different vendors. You can calculate any component of a loan, including payment, interest rate or loan amount, see the full Amortization Table for the loan’s lifespan and play with “what-if” scenarios that let you determine the effect of making extra, higher, or lower payments. Loan Shark can help you determine how long it will take to pay off that credit card, determine how close you are to paying off your mortgage, and compare the cost of different loans, among many other uses. Kudos to FoggyNoggin Software for an easy-to-use and good looking interface that works well on a mobile device.
Bonus feature: Lets you locate nearby banks using the iPhone’s location-awareness
Tipulator stands out in a crowded field of tip calculators (it’s often said that the true test of how successful a new platform will be is how quickly a tip calculator appears for it) by marrying cute graphics with easy-to-use number dials. You can probably split the check without it but you won’t have as much fun doing it. And for 1/3 the price of your last latte, you owe it to yourself to at least try it.

Google has just release Chrome (its internet browser) to the world in beta stage. If you are interested in testing out this new browser then head here to download.
So, what does a Google Chrome beta bring? Speed, and lots of it. According to Google, it’s 25 percent faster than the stable build of Chrome, which is nothing short of amazing given that Chrome is already blazing fast.
Other new features are form autofill, full page zooming and autoscroll, as well as a way to get a side-by-side view by dragging out tabs to the side of the browser window, which you can see in the amazingly short video below.
There has been a lot of talk in the last few days about a new Twitter directory that has launched, its called Wefollow and its from Kevin Rose creator of Digg. Wefollow is a user driven Twitter directory that places twitter accounts into certain categories. Categories include tech, celebrities, sports, blogs, bloggers and more.
How can I get on Wefollow? Simply tweet this .. @wefollow #yourtag #yourtag #yourtag
Remember to replace #yourtag with the tags you’d like to be listed under. So you could send a twitter message like
@wefollow #tech #blogs #web
Remember you can choose a maximum of 3 tags. Choose wisely as there are hundreds of tags out there. Of course it is advisable to select tags which match your niche, but see how you can rank higher on the tag page depending on the number of users in that tag, how popular they are and if the tag is featured on the front page.
