Microsoft Silverlight Beta 4 for Facebook

The brooding Silverlight app has a pretty cool horizontal grid stream. However, it’s not unlike the various Air apps that always seem more cumbersome than the online experience.

Filing Taxes From The iPhone?

I’m really curious to see the stats on this later in the year. Doesn’t make much sense to me, unless you have *really* simple returns.

Grr…Behance Releases Awesome Journals

I have way too many notebooks, including many of Behance’s Action Books. It is with frustration, then, that I ogle their new line of Action Method Journals.

Must. resist.

Apple Tablet: Visual Guide of Possibilities

This handy guide feels ripe for some sort of betting game. As long as the thing is released, I’ll be happy.

SugarSync Out. Now Dropbox or ZumoDrive?

That I couldn’t readily find a way to delete my SugarSync account — their Help instructions are wrong, even — is only further encouragement that the backup solution isn’t right for me. A few months ago I upgraded to the paid service to really get into having access to my home and work files at any time. But, the service only works when you have the desktop app running, and damn does it buckle my poor lil MacBook. Plus, I always encountered issues when downloading bulk files, which were never fully resolved with their support team.

So…onto another service. I’ve had the free versions of Dropbox and ZumoDrive for a good while now, but never really dug into the offering. While both aren’t necessarily backup services so much as online storage, I think either could meet my needs; which is essentially to have ready access to my active/working files wherever I go. And each seems to have gotten better about including files/folders outside of the single folder defined by the application.

Dropbox seems to be the dominant player of the two, but Zumo just announced a deal with HP.

Anyone have in depth experience with either, or simply a preference?
