Recently, I received an email notifying me that Yahoo! Briefcase is shutting down.
If my memory serves me right, the last time I uploaded a file to Yahoo! Briefcase was like 3 years ago. Naturally, I login and browse through the files I’ve in the briefcase. I have my college diploma major project, some HTML/php pages and some image files there, quite interesting that you look back at the work you have done 3 years back, I still remembered vividly how I struggled through endless nights to deliver a VB program for my diploma’s major project. Okie, enough of traveling back to memory lane…
Anyway, Yahoo! back then offered 30MB of storage, I am kinda curious on how online storage has evolved and did some searching.
Skydrive by Microsoft – 25GB storage. One major turn down is that you can’t upload folders. Ah, one more turn down for me, in Firefox, you don’t have the ‘drag and drop’ to upload feature.
In Firefox or Chrome, you get this.
Where else for IE.
No, I wouldn’t browse 10 times for 10 files I want to upload and I wouldn’t switch to IE for this purpose as well. So Skydrive is not for me, but anyhow you could just zip it and upload.
I found this Firefox extension – Gspace, quite suitable for me as most of the time I’ll have my gmail opened, it utilizes your Gmail storage and upload files there. When you open up Gspace, it appears as a tab inside your Firefox, it looks much like a FTP client.
Basically you just drag and drop, and it will appear in your Gmail inbox.
There’s load more of storage online services. There’s rumors saying that Google online storage GDrive will be launched within this year, by then it will be judgement day for all the other online storage services.
For now, let’s stick to what we have offered. Click here to see a detailed comparison chart by LifeHacker.com. Alternately…let’s just load all the files into your 2GB pen drive and attach it to your keychain 
Everyone is talking about browsers..
A lof of people have been writting review for IE8, they installed it, surf the net, and claimed “holy mad cow, it’s faster than Firefox, it renders things faster! It’s more secure!”.
Doing a few search on Google reveals a lot of things that prove IE8 still has a long way to go. But anyhow, applauds to the team IE8 in Microsoft for heating things up in the browser war
IE8 passes the Acid2 test, which renders CSS2.1 correctly now! Lesser head ace for web developer yes!
IE8 failed the Acid3 test, which focus on the ECMAScript ( Javascript is a variation of ECMAscript) and DOM level 2.
In the recent annual Pwn2Own contest, all 3 major browsers have been exploited. Safari on MAC is one of the fastest to exploit, followed by IE8 and Firefox.

I am really surprise that Google Chrome was the one target left standing. Way da go Google.
Firefox is famous of the massive list of extensions available, and for now I can’t live without them, and moreover I’ve had really bad experience styling webpages with CSS in IE…I have had nightmares, waking up during midnight dreaming about a misaligned navigation bar in IE6. One day(years later)…who knows, IE will dominate in the browser war again.
