If you needed some extra online storage space to save whatever you wanted from movies to games or mp3, SkyDrive is offering a completely free 25gb of space.  A typical amount of free storage space is usually 5gb, making this seem like an incredible offer.  However, we’ve seen alternatives before which went belly up after only a few months.

Improvements of the SkyDrive Service
We’ve seen SkyDrive gradually improve their service quality over the last few months. Now with a full 25gbs, the service seems worth to use, just make sure SkyDrive isn’t your only backed up location for files and folders. As I’ve had happen in the past, the best way to be safe with your stored materials is to backup everything in at least two locations, preferably not in the same room.

Some newer features include; an online slide show for your photos. Control over your online data such as download photos directly to Windows Live Photo Gallery, download as a zip file, move files between folders and copy files to multiple folders. Increasing the display size of photos.

Any new user can benefit from a free SkyDrive account. sign up via this link.

What Fonebook will not do: It won’t grab their email addresses and phone numbers.  Though they claim this is a privacy issue, if it was listed anyway, why not grab it for us, to make our life easier?

Fonebook will: Grab all of our contacts, so if you have a million friends, you will have a million contacts.  This could be information overload for your outlook contact list.

You can get the software from Ross Dargan via this link.

How it Works
You need to have two computers to use Orb. The main computer that holds all the pictures, Tv, Videos, needs to be running the Orb software. It needs to have a Tv card if you want to share your Tv over the Internet.
After you have a computer with Orb running, you can simply log on to any other computer in the world connected to the Internet and log on to Orb. Now you will have full access to your data and be able to watch your local Tv channels anywhere you are.

Cable Tv Anywhere
I plan to have a computer with Orb connected to my parents cable Tv, so I can watch American Tv while I am away in Germany. (Not much American Tv there.) Or I wouldn’t mind watching it while I am stuck in a hotel in the middle of nowhere. There are plenty of practical reasons for using Orb.

All your favorites can be played for free without any required download (except Java if you don’t have it already). I spent more time than I should have wasting time playing a gameboy on a screen much smaller than my laptop screen. It feels almost like having a rule gameboy except for the fact that the “Gameboy” is just a picture of a gameboy, and you have to use your keyboard for the controls. In any case, visit home.lv and play some awesome Super Mario Land.

Support
According to the site: It supports 500+ GB Games, GameBoy emulators with full functions Sound, Save Game, Joystick support and more…

Is it Easy?
Well you need access to a digital camera. Then, according to the site, you need to take a digital photo of the subject with a neutral expression, closed mouth and open eyes to create biometrics-compatible photo.

Upload the photo to the ePassPhoto site and they take care of the rest.

Check out this fun Arcade game called Mexican Hat Catch.

Virtualnes.com lets you play all your favorite NES games online for free without downloading any software or games. Simply choose your favorite game from their long list of NES game and start playing.

One thing I don’t like about the system is that there is no way to full screen. The games have to be played on a small window within your browser. Maybe that makes it easier to hide the fact that you are playing NES games online rather than being productive?

At least keyboard support is enabled, making game play easy. Otherwise they also offer an option to buy an old NES controller to make the experience more authentic.

Benefits
This works great when you are sitting on a computer without any word processor. The system is easy to use and offers you to save your documents right on their website without any need to download them. My laptop is already short on hard drive space, so I have no problem now deleting Microsoft Word from my computer and using Zoho instead.

If you are trying to create a professional document, Zoho offers a variety of templates for creating great looking, resumes, documents, or even flyers.

On the one hand I found the interface a bit confusing to use at the start, but on the other hand the interface of the Free Online Word Processor is similar to Microsoft word. Even with this familiar interface it may take awhile until you’ve figured everything out.
