There’s a lot of online storage services in the last few years, some better than others. But ADrive has to be the one with the largest amount of storage space yet (tell me if I’m wrong) with a massive 50GB of space. No, it wasnt a typing error, thats right 50GB of online storage space for free.

Its currently in beta and is totally free to sign up to and use. You simply sign up with your email address for a free account and then you can start using it immediately. It even allow you to do complete folder uploads, as well as drag and drop support. You also can optionally share files. What’s more, the maximum file upload size is a whopping 2gb.

I’d recommend trying out this site to anyone who has a lot of data they’d like to back up remotely, as the site is very well designed and very usable, the user upload interface is very easy to use too. This storage service is surely raising the bar in online storage with the huge amount of storage offered alone. Another good thing is they seem to take data storage very seriously and professionally as you can see by reading this link http://adrive.com/technology

CanYouRunIt is an online tool that gamers are sure to find useful.

If you’ve ever bought a game and excitedly brought it home only to find out that your computer is unable to run it, then this is a site worth adding to your bookmarks. It has an ever-growing list of computer games, mostly current popular titles. You simply select the one you’re interested in buying/installing, – you can safely accept any prompts that pop up, as it needs to scan your system. This takes about a minute or so.

It gives a detailed rundown on several areas such as graphics card, free memory and processor requirements for the game in question. The report is detailed yet simple enough for just about anyone to understand. It compares the games minimum system requirements to your systems capabilities, letting you know clearly if you’re able to run that game. This is a cool tool for example, for parents who’d like to make sure their computer can run the game their little one has been begging them for,(also suitable for the big kid in all of us who needs a break from work at times!)

Quickbot is an online bot that can be a useful addition to your MSN Messenger contact list. You simply add Quickbot to your MSN buddy list and then it can help you out in several ways. You do this by simply adding “bot@techie.com” to your buddy list.

The functions it has are controlled by typing commands (listed on the homepage below or just type “help” to it in MSN Messenger). It can provide translations for most of the European languages and Chinese. You can also do a bunch of other things ranging from doing calculations, telling the weather, news headlines, reversing text, random quotations,and generating insults, among others.

It’s an interesting tool as there’s nothing to install or download and it therefore takes up no space on your computer. It also replies to non command specific messages with humorous (if somewhat limited) artificial intelligence, which is a fun touch.

StickyView is an interesting piece of software because what it allows you to do is to view all of your images from different directories in one slide show without having to worry about going around and moving pictures around incessantly.  
 
If you are like most people with computers, images will find their way into multiple folders and categories that will be removed from each other.   This is not necessarily even because of disorganization, although for some people that probably does play a part!  Even an organized person will have different folders for pictures and they might even have more folders than a disorganized person because of all of the different categories they have for their different pictures.
 
StickyView as a piece of software has a lot of good things about it, but the main is the extra convenience it provides.   Windows can not play a slide show from multiple folders and this can make it very frustrating for you if you have similar pictures in different folders that you want to view at once (i.e. if you happen to arrange your folders by the date they were taken, for example).  StickyView on the other hand will find all of your different picture files across directories and play them for you as much as you want.  That makes it a truly worthwhile piece of software.
