19.12.2005 How to Share Large File on The Web Using MegaUpload
The following tutorial will explain you how to share a large file on the web between you and your friend or anyone else. I'm choosing
MegaUpload as an example here - not for any particular reason - but later, I might write more tutorial for other large file sharing service, such as
YouSendIt and
RapidShare.
One of the most advantage of using MegaUpload, compare with other similar service, is the duration how long your file(s) will be kept in their server. Your uploaded files will be deleted only after it become unused for 30 days. So, if many of your friends download it, over and over again, the files will always be there. The size is quite big, up to 250MB. Not as big as YouSendIt which allow up to 1GB file size, but it's more than enough to share your music files, movies, etc.

Microsoft's Big Bet: Win Within the Web
Although the latest version of Microsoft Windows is more than six months from shipping, company brass already have christened Vista as the best and biggest Windows release since Windows 95.
The company is making bold predictions, claiming Vista will be preloaded on as many as 200 million new personal computers in the first 24 months that the product is available. Windows 95 shipped on a mere 67 million new PCs during its first two years. These numbers are important. The prospects of nearly every product Microsoft makes ride on maintaining the ubiquity of Windows, which has in excess of 90 percent of the PC operating system market. It's been five years since the current Windows version was released, and Windows XP now is looking rather dated.

The WhereAmI Project
Sarah Perez: The WhereAmI Project is an attempt to use GPS tracking to find your
friends and have them find you. The project, an experimental beta at the moment, has its only users in WhereAmI's creator, Nagi Babu Punyamurthula,
and his friends. WhereAmI works by letting a user transmit their GPS location to a central server using an application that runs on a GPS-enabled
mobile device or a similarly-equipped laptop with an internet connection. On the server, a web service runs to collect the GPS data send from the
mobile device. The third part is an ASP.NET AJAX-enabled web page running a Microsoft Virtual Earth Mapping Control to plot the user's position on
the map. Users running the WhereAmI app can not only find each other, but also things around them like ATMs, shops, and bars. Of course, there is a
big disable button for the times you don't want to be found.

Microsoft Tagspace (Refresh)
Tagspace
is a Web-based "social
bookmarking" service that
will revolutionize the way you
collect, organize, discover,
consume, and share links to
the sites that you find
interesting or valuable on the
World Wide Web.
If
you're unfamiliar with the
term "social bookmarking,"
you can think of Tagspace as a
gigantic "Favorites folder"
on the Web, which frees you
from having to import and
export your favorites from
browser to browser and
computer to computer. It also
allows you to organize your
links in a more intuitive way
than you can just by using the
bookmarking tools available in
your browser.
We
could rattle on for days about
how social bookmarking is
going to change your life for
the better but frankly, we
don't want to put you to
sleep. Instead, we recommend
that you find a friend who
uses Tagspace or another
social bookmarking service and
ask them to describe how it
has changed their life for the
better. If you don't have any
friends who match this
description or if you'd
simply like to make more
friends, please join us for a
blog party that never ends:

various team member blog
posts, which will, naturally,

Sprint, Microsoft Deliver Mobile Search Innovations
As part of the strategic alliance between Sprint and Microsoft Corp., today the two companies are providing Sprint customers with the industrys first
fully integrated GPS location-aware mobile search service in the U.S. with entire Internet search on Sprint phones. Voice search with visual results
by Live Search for mobile using Tellme technologies will also be available on select Sprint phones as a separate download. The new services enable
people to find Web, local, and phone content easily using traditional input methods or voice.
With the enhanced mobile search
service launching today, Sprint customers can now:
- Search the entire Web, local listings and maps, and Sprints mobile content catalog using
the same familiar search box powered by Live Search, on the Sprint mobile Web home page.
- Use Sprints built-in GPS capabilities to
automatically find local businesses and listings nearby quickly and easily without needing to manually enter location information. The new GPS-enabled
search allows customers to give permission to let their phone automatically identify their location to return nearby business search results, such as
the closest gas station, pizza place or movie theater “ all by simply typing in or, on select phones, speaking the name or category of business for
which they are searching.
Additionally, Sprint is the first mobile operator in the U.S. to launch GPS-enabled voice search capabilities, which are
powered by Live Search for mobile. Customers can simply say the business listing and then see the search results on the screen. Speaking rather than
typing makes it even easier for customers to find the results they are looking for. This feature uses award-winning voice user interface design from
Microsofts recent acquisition, Tellme. ..
