Godaddy 4GH Web Hosting Sucks

Recently, I found Godaddy.com was advertising a new hosting package called “4GH Web hosting” and it was claimed to be the “4th generation hosting”, which is cloud-based, “revolutionary”, even better than Rackspace, GoGrid etc. I was intrigued and signed up. The result? It’s been quite disappointing. If you’ve been using other hosting services and familiar with […]

Dropbox: 免费的文件同步工具

最近发现了一个免费的网络工具——Dropbox。这个工具可以用来为电脑上的文件进行网络备份，还可以当作一个文件同步工具使用。假如你同时拥有好几台电脑，你可以在每台电脑上都安装一个Dropbox软件，当你在其中任意一台上把文件存在Dropbox指定的文件夹里时，这些文件就会自动在Dropbox的服务器上备份，并且可以显示在你其它的电脑上，这样一来，你就不需要很费力气地使用U盘在不同电脑间复制、传输文件了。 Dropbox可以实现很多有用的功能，比如：同步文件夹、同步MSN和QQ聊天记录、同步文档、同步桌面、同步IE收藏家、网站自动备份等等。 Dropbox是一个免费的软件，目前为每个账户提供2G的免费空间。下载、注册Dropbox请按这里。

买Kindle还是买Nook？

最近一年以来电子书开始流行，网上书店Amazon.com推出的Kindle（Kindle 2和Kindle DX）很受读者欢迎。最近美国的另一家大书店Barnes & Noble宣布推出另一款电子书，名叫Nook。圣诞节快到了，本来用户可以开始订购Nook作为圣诞礼物送给朋友，但Barnes & Noble最近说发货要推迟到2010年初。到底是Kindle好还是Nook好？据说Nook最大的优势之一就是支持“借阅”功能。但最近Amazon的老板出来讽刺这种功能，称“Barnes & Noble所提供的借书服务，其实仔细去看，是受到狠大限制的。你一次只能借一个朋友，不可以找两人，也不可以轮流借。所以只要借出去了，就没有别种可能性了。” 前几天有看了纽约时报上的一篇文章，这篇文章的作者批评Nook功能太差，速度慢，触屏反应慢等等。到底是买Nook还是买Kindle？看来还是等等再说。
