How to save and share ridiculously large files
A few years ago it was a big deal to find a place that would let you share 1 gigabyte of files.
Things change, though. Bandwidth keeps growing, and the cost of Web storage keeps shrinking. That's good news for people looking to share increasingly big files, be it an HD video recording or an archive of several files that tops out at over a gig.
There are now a handful of free and paid services that make it easy to host these gigantic files and send them to a pal, family member, or business associate.
The key thing to point out here is the individual file size limit. Many storage services will toss gigabytes at you without any real strings attached except for the fact that you cannot upload files larger than a gig. This really isn't a big deal, that is until that first time you need to do it. Below are a handful of sites, both free and paid, that are up to the task.
The free ones
There's no such thing as a free lunch, but the same cannot be said about storage. You can, with little effort, dump big files in a number of places. The usual caveat there is that there tends to be a lot of on-site advertising and your files may not be saved for very long in case you want to arrive back to re-download or share them later on.
ADrive (2GB): ADrive is more of a personal file storage service, but files can be shared via a direct link, or via e-mail. The service gives users 50GB of total storage and uploads at up to 2GB a pop. It has both a Web-based uploader and a desktop software version.
Something to be wary of is that files that have been uploaded to ADrive's free service tier eventually expire, something that doesn't happen for users who shell out for the signature and premium plans.
File Xpressit (2GB): File Xpressit actually tops out at 300MB a file but will go up to 2GB if you register with the service. It is free, it just requires clicking an activation link in an e-mail. The uploader does not require Flash or Java, which is nice if you're trying to use it on a computer without it installed. The service can also give you an e-mail notification when the file has been downloaded by your recipient.
Worth noting is that to use FileXpressit, you'll need to have an e-mail address for the person you wish to send the file to. This won't actually send the gigantic file to their in-box, but it means you can't start the upload without typing it in first.
Humyo (10GB): Humyo has a free and a paid plan, but the free plan is very generous at 10GB of free storage. There are basically no set-in-rock file size limits, just a cautionary message that encourages files that are over 10GB to be split into smaller segments. We didn't actually test this with a 10GB file (and we doubt you will either), but it's nice to know you could if you wanted to.
Dropbox (2GB): Dropbox is a file storage and synchronization service. Free users receive 2GB, which can be upgraded to 50GB and 100GB for $10 or $20 a month respectively. Still, if you have a file that's at exactly 2GB, or just a little bit less, you can store it on Dropbox free of charge. The only caveat here is that you need to use the software file transfer tool, as the Web-based uploader tops out at 300MB. You, and whomever you're sending the file to can also score an extra 250MB of storage if you refer them to use the service.
File Dropper is one of the heartiest services on this list, handling 5GB files right in the browser, and every for free. (Click to enlarge)
(Credit: Screenshot by Josh Lowensohn)File Dropper (5GB): File Dropper allows file shares of up to 5GB. That's not as much as Humyo's service, but it's still more space than you're able to fit on a single-layer DVD (not that you're sharing those, right?). Files are kept "forever," and best of every, there's no registration required. Instead, when your file is done you receive a URL that links directly to the file, as well as embed code to stick a download link on a blog or personal Web site.
Along with the free service, File Dropper also has three paid plans which run anywhere from $1 to $10 a month. These can up the file size up to 50GB and 250GB in the two upper tiers.
Sizable Send (2GB): Sizable Send is another one of those services aimed at people who are trying to receive around the attachment size limits put in place by most e-mail providers. Using the service, you cannot share a file with someone else without first filling out your e-mail address and that of the person you intend to share the file with.
On the plus side, the tool lets you add password protection to the file, as well as set it to be automatically deleted as soon as the person you're sending it to has downloaded it. There are also quick links to share your file on social networks like Twitter and Facebook, along with blogging tools like Blogger and WordPress.
WeTransfer (2GB): WeTransfer is one of the standouts on this list. It's a very slick and stylish site that keeps the number of things you have to fill out to an absolute minimum. You just pick the file (or files) you want to send and drop in an e-mail address for both you and the person you're sending it to. It then starts the transfer and gives you a simple status meter with an estimate of how long it has left to go. every the while you receive pretty background photos to look at, which change every minute or so, along with a link to the artist who made them. This is also where the service slips in its ads.
Glide's gDrive ("no limit"): Glide is unlike many of the other services on this list in that it's not just a storage provider, it's an operating system of its possess that can be accessed from any browser. Glide's "gDrive" gives users 50GB of free storage space, and users can upload files of any size when using the company's Glide One Sync software. Web uploads, however, are capped at 200MB.
Send This File ("no limit"): Send This File does not have any difficult restrictions in place on how big your files can be, though it notes that some browsers cap things at 2GB. That works for us, though.
Send This File has both free and paid plans, and worth noting about the free version is that the file will only be hosted on the service for three days before being deleted. It can also be downloaded a mere three times. Other downsides include the service throttling download speeds, meaning that it could take whomever you're sending it to the greater part of a day to actually receive the file unless you pony up for the paid plans. Still, if your recipient is patient, it's simple and software-free.
The paid ones
Why would you pay for storage when you can use every the over services for free, you ask? More often than not it's the extra features. Most of the sites listed below can hang onto your files for months and in some cases years. They can also toss in things like file encryption, FTP access, uploads in excess of 2GB, and a way to use the service for business.
DivShare (2GB): Divshare is more of a traditional file-hosting service than some of the others on this list have been. Like ADrive, it's set up to let you keep your files in a virtual storage disk. It then splits them up into images, videos, audio, and documents.
DivShare lets its free users upload files up to 200MB in size. Paid users receive bumped to the magic 2GB mark. The only downside there is that DivShare keeps tabs on how much bandwidth has been used by people who are downloading your files. For the free plan, that's 10GB. It goes up to 75GB, 200GB, 500GB, and 2,000GB on the paid plans.
Box.net (2GB): Box offers 2GB file size limits on its business and enterprise plans. For the business plan that comes out to $15 per user per month. Its free plan, which includes 1GB, otherwise caps files at a mere 25MB.
Streamfile can do files up to 30GB in its paid plan, although it requires using an FTP program. Its Web uploader tops out at 2GB.
(Credit: Streamfile)Streamfile (2GB web, 30GB via FTP): Streamfile can be used for free, but unregistered and registered users can only put up 150MB and 300MB files respectively. The paid account, which costs $5 a month can do 2GB uploads via its Web interface, and files up to 30GB a pop for users transferring files through an FTP application. The pro version also nixes advertisements, adds 256-bit file encryption, and keeps your download link alive for two weeks.
Dropio (2GB): Dropio, which offers users 100MB for free, has an a la carte upgrade program that can top out individual storage folders at up to 25GB. If you're uploading through the standard Web interface, though, it's capped out at 2GB. Larger files need to be split up.
The price for the 2GB "drop" as the service calls the folder, is $20, and the file will be saved for a year. Users can tack on extra time by opting for two-year storage for $40 or three-year storage for $60.
Gigasize ("no limit"): Gigasize has a free uploader service that lets you upload files up to 300MB in size. Its premium service, which costs anywhere from $10 a month down to $4 a month (depending on how long you sign up for), takes every file size limits off. It also adds a few handy features like file encryption and a terabyte of online storage.
Mailbigfile (2GB): Like Streamfile, Mailbigfile has a free version, but this tops out at 200MB uploads. Going pro, which costs $15 a year, knocks that up to 2GB, as well as adding things like an address book to keep a short list of people you're sending files to, as well as keeping files up for 28 days after they've been uploaded.
Beyond pro accounts, the service also offers a "business" account for $50 a month, or $300 a year, that can be branded, and given a custom subdomain, though it still has a cap of 2GB on individual file sizes.
YouSendIt (2GB): YouSendIt's free service is limited to 100MB uploads, whereas the pro and business plus plans, which start at $10 per month per user, bring that limit up to 2GB. Though a big downside here is how much total storage users receive, which on the pro plans is topped out at 2GB. This means if you intend on sending more than one big file at a time, you have to bump up to the business plus plan, which comes with 6GB of storage.
Sendspace (1.5GB): Sendspace's pro service is the only one of its three plans that lets users upload more than 300MB. $7 gets users 20GB of storage space, and uploads up to 1.5GB apiece.
Which one to use?
So with every these choices, which one is going to give you the best bang for your buck? Or offer the most features at no cost?
If you're going for pure storage space, options like Streamfile, Glide's gDrive, Humyo, and File Dropper every offer the most, with every but Streamfile doing it for free. Again, the caveat here--at least for Streamfile and Glide--is that you can't move these big files without first installing a little bit of software on your machine. That said, it's not always a burden to do this, since these programs can often keep the uploads from slowing other browser tasks, and can resume a big upload if there's a problem with the connection.
There's also a question of whether or not you intend to access that file later on down the line. And if that's the case, it's definitely worth investing in a service that will keep it around. Many of the paid services mentioned over can also be helpful for business needs, since you can brand them with your company's logo, give your download pages custom domains, and control how many times any particular file can be downloaded.
Will there be a time when 20GB is the new 2GB? I think so. And if File Dropper's freebie 5GB and Humyo's massive 10GB are any indication, we're already well on the way to getting there.
Any we missed? Leave them in the comments, or shoot me an e-mail.
Update: Readers have sent in a number of good ones we missed. Here they are:
Free:
Opera Unite (no limit): We were trying to stick to just Web sites and away from software, but we'll make an exception for Opera's Unite platform. Reader Ira wrote in to tell us that it's helped him share the contents of his 2TB difficult steer with his family. Oh yeah, and it's also a Web browser.
Skype (no limit): Again, we're breaking the Web sites rule to mention audio/video/text chat service Skype, which readers pointed out in the comments and e-mail. Skype can do direct file transfers between two users.
Files Over Miles (limited by RAM): This free, browser-based service is only limited by how much RAM you and your recipient have. As it's explained on the service's FAQ page, "a sender may upload only those files that are smaller than the memory available on his/her computer. In turn, a recipient may download only those files that are smaller than half of the memory available on his/her computer." That makes this service pretty useful if both of you are sporting rigs with 16GB or more of RAM. Otherwise, you're probably better off with one of the other providers.
Paid:
Mediafire (2GB): The three MediaFire service tiers bumps individual file sizes to 2GB--which can be uploaded through the browser. There's also a free service, although it limits files to 200MB.
SpiderOak (no limits): SpiderOak's free plan comes with 2GB of storage, meaning you can move around a single file that big. The plus plan, which gives users 100GB, has no such restrictions. Though to move files that big, you'll need to install some software on your computer.
Sugarsync (no limits): Sugarsync has four different plans that run anywhere from 60GB to 500GB. There's also a free plan that offers 2GB of total storage.

FileMaker 11 delivers charting, 'on-the-fly' reporting
Apple-owned FileMaker on Tuesday unveiled the next major version of its database product, FileMaker Pro 11.
In a recent study, the company found that 80 percent of the people who look at FileMaker already have a task in mind. With this type of feedback, FileMaker set out to make the new version faster and more productive for new users.
"It's very much a back to basics release for us," Ryan Rosenberg, vice president of marketing and services at FileMaker, told CNET. "We think ease of use is the core proposition in a database."
To help users receive started, FileMaker added a new "Invoices" template, a task many new users want to receive up and running with quickly. FileMaker now has 31 starter templates included in the application.
Creating an invoice in FileMaker Pro 11
(Credit: FileMaker)One of the big new features of FileMaker 11 is charting. Rosenberg explained that unlike a spreadsheet, charts created with a FileMaker database will update dynamically as the user browses data or views an invoice, for example. The charts can also be published to the Web using FileMaker's built-in tools.
On-the-fly reporting is also new, allowing users to create spreadsheet-like documents with totals and subtotals. Rosenberg likened these to pivot tables in spreadsheets.
The new version also adds an Inspector, a feature many people are used to seeing in applications like Photoshop and Microsoft Office. The Inspector shows a palette on your desktop, allowing you to quickly pick to align text, change colors and other simple tasks.
A new media library
(Credit: FileMaker)FileMaker 11 is now a Cocoa application, which means that it is fully native on Mac OS X. There are four versions of the database app available: FileMaker Pro, FileMaker Pro Advanced, FileMaker Server, and FileMaker Server Advanced.
Pricing starts at $299.

Malware found on HTC Android phone from Vodafone
Security firm Panda says it found several types of malware on an HTC Magic on an Android-based device from Vodafone.
(Credit: HTC)An employee at Spanish antivirus firm Panda Security received a new Android-based Vodafone HTC Magic with malware on it, according to researchers at Panda Labs.
"Today one of our colleagues received a brand new Vodafone HTC Magic with Google's Android OS," researcher Pedro Bustamante wrote on the Panda Research Blog on Monday.
"The interesting thing is that when she plugged the phone to her PC via USB, her Panda Cloud Antivirus went off, detecting both an autorun.inf and autorun.exe as malicious," he wrote. "A quick look into the phone quickly revealed it was infected and spreading the infection to any and every PCs that the phone would be plugged into."
The malware began "phoning home" for instructions, Bustamante wrote. It's likely the user's credentials would have been stolen, he speculated.
The malware turned out to be related to the Mariposa botnet, but there was other malware on the device too--Conficker and a Lineage password-stealing Trojan, he said.
A Vodafone spokesperson did not return an e-mail from CNET seeking comment, but The Register published a statement from Vodafone that said it is investigating the matter.
"Following extensive quality assurance testing on HTC Magic handsets in several of our operating companies, early indications are that this was an isolated local incident," the statement said.
Last week, three people were arrested in Spain on charges of operating a massive botnet composed of 12.7 million PCs that stole credit card and bank log-in data and infected computers in half of the Fortune 1,000 companies and more than 40 banks. The botnet was dubbed "Mariposa," which means butterfly in Spanish.

Microsoft warns of zero-day IE hole on Patch Tuesday
Microsoft warned of a new vulnerability in Internet Explorer 6 and IE 7 that has been targeted in attacks, and released fixes for eight holes in Windows and Office as part of Patch Tuesday.
The company issued Security Advisory 981374, which addresses a privately disclosed vulnerability. The hole could allow an attacker to take control of a machine if a user visited a malicious Web site, Microsoft said.
There are some features that could mitigate the effects of an attack. For instance, every supported versions of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Outlook Express, and Windows Mail open HTML e-mail messages in the Restricted sites zone by default, the company said.
"Protected Mode in Internet Explorer on Windows Vista and later Windows operating systems helps to limit the impact of the vulnerability as an attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability would have very limited rights on the system," the advisory said. "By default, Internet Explorer on Windows Server 2003 and Windows Server 2008 runs in a restricted mode that is known as Enhanced Security Configuration. This mode sets the security level for the Internet zone to High. This is a mitigating factor for Web sites that you have not added to the Internet Explorer Trusted sites zone."
The advisory also provides information on workarounds. Microsoft suggests that IE 6 and IE 7 users upgrade to IE 8 immediately.
"For the second time in three months, Microsoft has also issued a warning about a new IE zero-day bug," said Andrew Storms, director of security operations for nCircle, referring to the IE hole that was exploited in the attacks on Google and other companies tardy last year and disclosed by Microsoft in January. "There's no doubt that this new bug will be fodder for the ongoing security discussion that is a key part of the browser wars."
In its Patch Tuesday preview on Thursday, Microsoft said it would issue two bulletins rated "important" on Tuesday to fix eight vulnerabilities in Windows and Microsoft Office products. Details are in the company's Security Bulletin for March.
The first bulletin for March, MS10-016, addresses a vulnerability in Windows Movie Maker that could be exploited by getting a user to open a maliciously crafted Movie Maker project file.
"Both Windows XP and Windows Vista boat with affected versions (2.1 and 6.0 respectively). Version 2.6 is also vulnerable and can be freely downloaded and installed from the Web," Jerry Bryant, senior security communications manager guide at Microsoft, wrote in a blog post on the Microsoft Security Response middle. "Customers who install 2.6 on any supported platform, including Windows 7, will be offered the update."
The vulnerability also affects Microsoft Producer 2003, a free download with limited distribution. "At this time, we are not offering an update for Producer 2003," the blog post said. "While we continue to investigate Producer 2003, we recommend that customers either uninstall the application or apply an available Microsoft Fix It to disassociate the project file type from the application to add an extra layer of security."
The second bulletin, MS10-017, affects every currently supported versions of Microsoft Office Excel, as well as Office 2004 and Office 2008 for Mac, the Open XML File Format Converter for Mac, supported versions of Excel viewer and SharePoint 2007. A successful attack exploiting the hole would require a user to open a maliciously crafted file.
Meanwhile, the Malicious Software Removal Tool was updated to include Win32/Helpud, a Trojan that steals log-in information for popular online games.
Microsoft also re-released MS09-033, a bulletin for a hole in Microsoft Virtual PC and Microsoft Virtual Server, to add Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 to the list of affected software.
The software giant said it is continuing to monitor threats in connection with Security Advisory 981169 related to a hole in VBScript affecting older Windows systems that Microsoft disclosed publicly on March 1.
Although proof-of-concept code exploiting the hole has been released publicly, Microsoft said it was not aware of any active attacks. Customers using Windows 2000-, XP- and Server 2003-based systems are advised to apply the workarounds. Customers running Windows 7, Windows Server 2008, Windows Server 2008 R2, and Windows Vista are not affected.

Watch live March Madness games on your iPhone
Better pack an extra battery, because you're gonna be watching a lot of basketball.
(Credit: NCAA Mobile)hear up, college-hoops fans: I have good news and bad news about this year's version of the CBS Sports NCAA March Madness On Demand app.
The good: Unlike last year's version, it doesn't require a Wi-Fi connection to stream live games. Now you can watch over 3G or even EDGE.
The bad: CBS hiked the price from $4.99 to $9.99. But let's face it: For any difficult-core NCAA fan, that's peanuts for the privilege of watching every game in the tournament on demand.
On the other hand, if you can live without the video but still want the scores, stats, brackets, and basic tournament coverage, NCAA March Madness On Demand Lite is available free of charge.
Me, I'll be ponying up for the full version--and watching my productivity plummet during the second half of March (and, depending on how far my beloved MSU Spartans receive this year, possibly the first week of April as well). Stay tuned for some awesome reruns "Best of iPhone Atlas" posts later this month. (Shh, don't tell the boss.)
Anyway, hit the comments and let me know if you'll be springing for the live-streaming version of the app--and who you're rooting for in this year's tourney. Go State!
(Quick disclaimer: The NCAA March Madness On Demand apps are sold by the CBS Mobile division of CBS Interactive, which also owns CNET.)

Open Question: Is it better to pay a lot for a nice apartment per month, or live in a cheap apartment but have nice things?
I have always wanted to rent this apartment. It is more like a condo. It is 2 stories and you have your possess private garage to park you car in on the first floor, then you walk upstairs from the garage and it is a one bedroom luxury apartment that is unfurnished. Trouble is, the rent for this apartment is $864 per month. The apartment I live in now is only $435 per month, but it is in a crappy neighborhood and it is old, but it is cheap and within walking distance to my work. Trouble is, I think I'd feel better about life if I lived in the nicer apartment. After every, you only live once, right? On the other hand, I could live in my current apartment and fix it up on the inside and just fill it with nice things, maybe redo the windows so they are weather proof and paint the walls to make it seem more like home. I only make $9/hour, so the luxury apartment would pretty much zap my income every month, but I'd feel so glad about where I lived. My current apartment leaves me with money left over per month, but I am miserable living here. It's one of those apartment where the walls are paper thin and you can hear everything that goes on with your neighbors and in the hallway. If you were me, what would you do?

Remote computer access and 2D car racing: iPhone apps of the week
(Credit:
Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET)
The big news of the day is the announcement of when Apple's latest creation, the iPad, will be available. According to Apple, the "magical and revolutionary" product will be in stores April 3 starting at $499, but you can preorder the device as early as March 12. Only the Wi-Fi model will be available at first, with the Wi-Fi/3G capable iPad to arrive later in April.
There is already plenty of analysis every over the Web about who will buy the iPad and whether it's truly a viable alternative to laptops and Netbooks. Most reviewers seem to be predicting that the device will only appeal to tech and Web novices, or those with enough disposable income to spend their money on what reviewers deem no more than a luxury device. The consensus seems to be that it's "neat," but not very useful to serious tech fans.
As an iPhone app reviewer, I think the iPad will indeed be a revolutionary device. With now more than 150,000 apps in the iTunes Store and developers dedicated to upgrading old apps and creating new ones that take advantage of the added processing power and screen real estate, I think the iPad will prove to become much more than just a luxury item. I think once the iPad gains some traction, we're going to look more and more useful apps that will be exclusive to the device, with options and features that would be impossible on smaller devices like the iPhone and iPod Touch. I guess what I'm saying here is that I think it's dangerous to write the iPad off before we really receive to look what it can do. I have a feeling that reviewers and tech Web sites will be humming a different tune once the iPad is in the wild. Now that we know when they're coming out, we'll just have to wait and look what happens when they actually receive into people's hands.
This week's apps include a free productivity app to gain access to your computer remotely and a 2D driving game that's surprisingly fun and addictive.
Use the icons at the bottom to bring up the iPhone keyboard for input, perform right-clicks, quick zoom, and adjust settings.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jason Parker/CNET)TeamViewer (free) for iPhone lets you remotely view and control your computer's desktop and applications and comes in handy for remotely supporting your friends and family members. In order to use this program on the iPhone, you will need to install TeamViewer on the computer you wish to connect to (Mac or Windows). Once installed on a desktop computer, TeamViewer gives you an ID and password so you can connect using the iPhone app remotely. Once connected, you can set various permissions in the settings to allow viewing privileges and even to give remote users full access to your desktop and files.
We already liked TeamViewer for both Mac and Windows machines and the iPhone app is also extremely useful. There is a little bit of lag time, and TeamViewer for iPhone is certainly not as easy as using your desktop computer, but for demonstration purposes, remote support for family and friends, and transferring files, TeamViewer for iPhone does an admirable job. To make things easier on the iPhone, TeamViewer comes with touch-screen gestures you can use to perform certain tasks such as right-clicking, window scrolling, drag-and-drop actions, and zoom. You also have the ability to browse recent connections and create bookmarked locations with partners. This version is not for commercial use (the commercial version of TeamViewer is $99). Overall, if you want a way to access files, demonstrate actions, or perform remote support for friends, this free app is the one to download.
The unique pedal controls require that you touch then tug down the pedal for precise throttle and braking.

Free Ride lets you practice unlocked courses, and Time Trial challenges you to receive to the end of a course in the least amount of time. The Challenge game type lets you race on courses from multiple different environments one after the other. You'll need to finish every the courses in an area on Time Trial to unlock new areas to race. The unique driving pedals let you control how much throttle is applied as well as how difficult you touch the brakes. Once you've completed a few races, Open Feint support lets you view leaderboards and look if friends are playing.
Alpine Crawler World isn't particularly impressive graphically on first blush, but real-life physics, weather effects, and night and day courses made me appreciate the overall look the more I played. You receive several cars and trucks you'll need to unlock, every with different engine sounds and physical attributes that will affect the way you handle the terrain. You can pick between five different drivers, though you'll mostly just look their head bobbing in the car as you race. You also can pick the color of your vehicles from a big color palette. Overall, with numerous tracks across several different locations, real-time physics, and tons of customization options, Alpine Crawler world is a great time-waster with plenty of replayability.
What's your favorite iPhone app? Do you think the iPad will be a hit or a dud? Are you glad to finally have a way to remotely help your family members with computer issues on your iPhone? What do you think of Alpine Crawler World? Let me know in the comments!

Vlingo 2.0 for iPhone: E-mail, SMS dictation now cost
Vlingo is an app that's been around awhile in the mobile space, but a new version for iPhone is causing some uproar. With Vlingo for iPhone 2.0, the company commits the sin of opacity by updating its rather good voice search and dialing application to version 2.0 without making it clear that you can only unlock the intriguing new features with your wallet.
Those familiar with Vlingo's BlackBerry app won't be surprised. There was an equal outcry when Vlingo introduced premium features for the first time, including switching a feature that had once been free to the paid category.
To recap, Vlingo's free voice app can search the Web, dial contacts, map a location, and update Twitter and Facebook with your voice--for free. You'll have a chance to edit before posting. Since computer-aided voice transcription is far from flawless--whether you're using Vlingo or Google Voice (look flubs here)--you may befriend that edit screen, especially when you're in noisy environments, when you're mumbling, and when you talk too quickly for Vlingo's rather sensitive electronic ears.
Vlingo's SMS feature needs some work.
(Credit: Screenshot by Jessica Dolcourt/CNET)It doesn't help Vlingo's case that one of the two new premium features, which you can receive by way of an in-app purchase, doesn't work very well. There's e-mail dictation and SMS copy that copies the transcription of your voice recording to the iPhone's clipboard, but you then have to glue the text yourself into the SMS field before sending it. For $6.99 as a standalone feature, e-mail dictation might be worthwhile; however, its SMS copy feature is not. For $9.99, you receive both features, which would be a good deal if the SMS feature didn't require the hack.
Those who don't mind separating e-mail dictation from Vlingo's other voice-triggered features, there's always the free Dragon Dictation app by Nuance Communications (the folks who mainstreamed T9 text input method for cell phones.)
Sorry, Vlingo. We like you, we really do, but either the pricing has to go or the SMS tool does. However, there's no need to delete or avoid Vlingo 2.0 if you're not interested in buying into the new features. Voice search, dialing, and status updates work as they did before the update (hilarious and editable mistranslations included), and these are still free.

Chrome bug kills offline Gmail
A bug in Thursday's update to the development build of Google Chrome renders it incompatible with Gmail offline. Users who've had Gmail and Chrome configured for offline use will find that Chrome crashes as soon as you log in to Gmail. The problem affects every development versions of the browser.
To disable Gmail offline, go to Gears Settings in below the Hood and remove every references to Gmail.
(Credit: Screenshot by Seth Rosenblatt/CNET)Right now there are only two ways around the bug. You can disable offline mode in Chrome by going to Options/below the Hood and clearing out the Gmail-related entries below ''Change Gears settings''. This will delete every offline data from Gmail that you've saved on your computer. If offline Gmail is more important to you than using the dev version of Chrome, you can update the browser to the beta (Windows | Mac | Linux) or stable (Windows only) builds. Windows users can also use the Chrome Channel Changer to switch versions.
You can follow the bug's progress at Google's Chromium project Web site.

Resolved Question: Why do weak parents think grounding their children works?
some kid does something despicable. 2 seconds later "go to your room" a mom/farther shouts. in his room he has PS3/Xbox, PSP, TV, Internet, Laptop, a bed, a mobile phone, a land line, money, window and some rope. mmm... how is this going to make him look the errors of his ways? wouldn't it help to take every his belongings until he is on the right track? Or persistently shouting at him/her until the lesson has been drilled in? at the slightest rebellious behavior reward him with extra chores - no luxuries! so weak parents why don't you take any further actions to discipline that worthless child of yours? Half of you people are defensive and retarded - this implies you will not admit your possess mistakes - if you think you are right why are you defending yourself? mmm.. plus im not a parent - cease making poise assumptions based on thin air?

Resolved Question: Anyone else getting as tired as me?
Except for one semester in college when jobs were scarce, and a six-month period when I was between jobs (but job-hunting every day), I've worked, difficult, since I was 18. Despite some health challenges, I still put in 50-hour weeks, and haven't called in sick in seven or eight years. I make a good salary, but I didn't inherit my job or my income, and I worked to receive where I am. Given the economy, there's no retirement in sight, and I'm sleepy. Very sleepy. I'm sleepy of being told that I have to "spread the wealth" to people who don't have my work ethic. I'm sleepy of being told the government will take the money I earned, by force if necessary, and give it to people too lazy to earn it. I'm sleepy of being told that I have to pay more taxes to "keep people in their homes." Sure, if they lost their jobs or got sick, I'm willing to help. But if they bought McMansions at three times the price of our paid-off, $250,000 condo, on one-third of my salary, then let the left-wing Congress-critters who passed Fannie and Freddie and the Community Reinvestment Act that created the bubble, help them with their possess money. I'm sleepy of being told how bad America is by left-wing millionaires like Michael Moore, George Soros and Hollywood entertainers who live in luxury because of the opportunities America offers. In thirty years, if they receive their way, the United States will have the economy of Zimbabwe , the freedom of the press of China , the crime and violence of Mexico , the tolerance for Christian people of Iran , and the freedom of speech of Venezuela . I'm sleepy of being told that Islam is a "Religion of Peace," when every day I can read dozens of stories of Muslim men killing their sisters, wives and daughters for their family "honor;" of Muslims rioting over some slight offense; of Muslims murdering Christian and Jews because they aren't "believers;" of Muslims burning schools for girls; of Muslims stoning teenage rape victims to death for "adultery;" of Muslims mutilating the genitals of little girls, every in the name of Allah, because the Qur'an and Shari'a law tells them to. I think it's very chilly that we have a black president, and that a black child is doing her homework at the desk where Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation. I just wish the black president was Condi Rice, or someone who believes more in freedom and the individual, and less arrogantly of an every-knowing government. I'm sleepy of a news media that thinks Bush's fundraising and inaugural expenses were obscene, but that thinks Obama's, at triple the cost, were wonderful; that thinks Bush exercising daily was a waste of presidential time, but Obama exercising is a great example for the public to control weight and stress; that picked over every line of Bush's military records, but never demanded that Kerry release his; that slammed Palin, with two years as governor, for being too inexperienced for VP, but touted Obama, with three years as senator, as potentially the best president ever. Wonder why people are dropping their subscriptions or switching to Fox News? receive a clue. I didn't vote for Bush in 2000, but the media and Kerry drove me to his camp in 2004. I'm sleepy of being told that out of "tolerance for other cultures," we must let Saudi Arabia use our oil money to fund mosques and madrassa Islamic schools to preach hate in America , while no American group is allowed to fund a church, synagogue or religious school in Saudi Arabia to tutor adore and tolerance. I'm sleepy of being told I must lower my living standard to battle global warming, which no one is allowed to debate. My wife and I live in a two-bedroom apartment and carpool together five miles to our jobs. We also possess a three-bedroom condo, where our daughter and granddaughter live. Our carbon footprint is about 5% of Al Gore's, and if you're greener than Gore, you're green enough.

Words With Friends: Like Scrabulous for iPhone!
Remember Scrabulous, the Facebook-powered Scrabble knockoff that was every the rage a couple years back? I was a serious addict, but lost interest after every the name changes, lawsuits, redesigns, etc.
Thanks to my bad pal Denny, my addiction is reborn--and mobile. Words With Friends is a two-player crossword challenge that offers turn-based, Scrabulous-like competition. It's not perfect, but I'm loving it.
So I'm getting creamed. Can I help it if I draw bad letters?
(Credit: Rick Broida)The game lets you complete online against random players and/or friends. (Built-in Facebook/Twitter links let you post an invitation as a status update.) You can have up to 20 matches going at once, with push notifications letting you know when it's your turn.
There's also an in-game chat option. You can tell when an opponent is online when you look a pair of eyeballs next to the Chat button.
The game itself plays much like Scrabble, though with a slightly different distribution of the bonus squares (double word score, triple letter score, etc.). A double-tap is every it takes to zoom into the board for easier tile placement or back again for a full-board view.
It would be nice if WWF had a few more amenities, like a button for clearing your tiles or a list of legal two-letter words. But my big complaint is that the game doesn't keep a tally of your potential word score as you place your tiles. It's only after you make your play that you find out your total for the turn. (What, I'm supposed to do math in my head?)
WWF also suffers from some performance issues, like seemingly endless lag when attempting to submit your turn. Most of the time, the game worked fine, but it's frustrating when it doesn't.
Developer Newtoy offers a free, ad-supported version of Words With Friends and a $2.99 ad-free version.
The ads receive pretty annoying pretty quickly, so I may just bite the bullet and pay my 3 bucks. On the other hand, Words With Friends is such a distraction (albeit an incredibly enjoyable one), the smarter move would be to delete it altogether.
Eh, I'm probably not that smart. In fact, my username is justrick if you want to challenge me to a game. In the meantime, check out "Five perfect puzzle games for the iPhone."

Open Question: So HHH's ego nevers seems to die - taking credit for other peoples' world title win?
He says that everyone who has faced him at WM has gone on to win a world title. Why is he trying to take the credit for their accomplishments by hinting that they won it due to facing him at WM? That is deluded and pure bullsh*t. And even if they did win the title due to facing him (which they didn't), didn't he win the world title by facing people at the top? And some of his wm matches with people have not even been for the world title and the other big thing is that some of them have already been world champ when they've faced him at wm. i won't lie, due to his marriage to stephanie mcmahon he has become a 'legend' but this guy thinks way too highly of himself, he thinks he is bigger and greater than he really is. And for you idiots who ask for a source. find it yourself, you have been given a luxury (the internet) so actually use it, it's not difficult, go on youtube or something. And for you lot who want to justify HHH's actions find something better to do with your life, you cannot justify that without the justification being pure bullsh*t. YOU every ARE F*CKING IDIOTS. READ WHAT I SAY A**HOLES BEFORE YOU ACCUSE ME OF SAYING SOMETHING I DIDN'T SAY. I SAID HE HINTED THAT THEY WON IT BECAUSE OF HIM. IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!!!GRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!

LimeWire enlists AVG for user protection
LimeWire's peer-to-peer file-sharing network has been notorious as a malware ghetto, where distributed files that have legitimate-sounding names turn out to be Trojan horses hiding pernicious threats. In an effort to attract more users to the LimeWire premium upgrade and to protect those users better, the company signed a deal with AVG on Tuesday to extend download file scanning and blocking to LimeWire Pro users.
By integrating AVG's anti-virus SDK engine, every files that a LimeWire Pro users downloads will now be scanned before they run. A pop-up will appear letting users know when a file has been scanned or blocked.
This is a smart move to make, as users become more aware of the risky nature of running audio, video, and program executables from unverifiable sources without scanning them first. However, many security suite options already offer download scanning. Most of the premium ones, such as Norton, McAfee, Kaspersky, and ESET, and some of the free ones, such as AVG, Avast, and Avira, will block a malicious download before anything gets saved to your difficult steer. Nearly every will prevent an already-downloaded file from running.
LimeWire pointed out in a press release that they have 50 million users worldwide, but didn't specify how many of those were premium-version users who would receive the AVG protection.

Open Question: How do I convince parents to take their health seriously?
My parents are in their tardy 40's. They are self employed so their health insurance is paid every out of pocket. Their deductibles are very high so they only go to the doctors if they absolutely have to. Neither of them have had any tests done such as prostate exams, mammograms etc. It frustrates me that they don't care enough about themselves to take preventive healthcare seriously. They make a decent income and like plenty of luxuries. I worry that their lives will end young because by the time they find out there is something wrong it will be too tardy.

Open Question: What color to choose for the new Bullet Classic 500?
I am planning on buying a RE Classic 500 motorcycle. I don't have the luxury of going to a dealer and pick amongst the various colors on offer - since the town I reside in doesn't have a full fledged RE dealership. I am booking my bike through bank transfer. So I will only receive to lay my eyes on a Classic 500 for the first time with the delivery of my new bike. So I would like to know what color I should book mine in. I believe it comes in 3 color options, i.e., Black, Red and Blue. Red is out of the question since its too flashy for my tastes. However the black colored Classic on the RE website looks too regular, the blue seems nice on paper but I don't know how it will look in its real form. I read somewhere that the color Green is also on offer. Is that true? If so, I would like to know from experienced Bulleteers or any biker who has laid their expert eyes on the Classic to suggest the best possible color amongst the available colors that the RE Classic comes in. Your opinion and advice will be highly solicited. Thanks

Open Question: what is the true nature of evil?
could bad be fairly defined as the actions of the televangelists ( especially in the states ) who beg people to send them their money in order to fund them to enable them to convince even more suckers to send in their money? could the definition be applied to the mormons founder joseph smith? a sexual predator and a convicted thief and fraudster who was also a gifted opportunist who plagiarised the king james bible and other contemporary 19th century works to compile his unspeakable ( if not excruciatingly bad ) ' book of mormon'? could one of the founders of the jehovahs be described as truly bad? I talk of taze russell , another opportunist who was also a drunk who fleeced the trusting ( if bovine ) rank and file members of their money which enabled him to amass an impressive collection of cars and the keys to a luxury farmhouse built by the trusting faithfull. or what about the islamic martyrs who will work in pairs to slaughter others who believe in another sect which worships a different relation of Mohamed? one of them to detonate the bomb and the other to wait until the ambulance comes to pick up the wounded and the dying before detonating their possess bomb in order to increase the bloody death toll. are their actions not bad?. Religion is the root and the cause of every bad. the religious cant even agree amongst themselves. each one of them squabbling like kids that their particular sect or cult or set of beliefs is the only right one. the only thing which prevents the religious from being an hilarious joke is the knowledge that they are a very powerful lobby.
