Apple's iPad Tablet - A disappointment or an Elation?

Yesterday (on Jan 27th, 2010 - 3 days after the Mac's 26th anniversary), Apple announced the launch of the iPad, its new Tablet device - a completely new product line which fits somewhere between the iPhone and the iPod Touch, and the MacBook. While some call iPad a great innovative device which could go handy as a portable multi-touch HD video player, eBook and ePaper reader i color and style, a 3D game console, and an Internet surfing and communication device as well as a basic portable Mac computer (thanks to Apple's adapted suite of photo editing tools, a Cocoa-touch version of iWork which I would call Apple's answer to Microsoft Office), others call it as a disappointment regarding to the tablet as an enlarged version of iPod Touch or an iphone without a camera - probably because of the fact that the the tablet device works much like an iPhone, running the applications presently available for the iPhone thanks to its iPhone OS-based operating system running on a microc...

Alternatives to Rapidshare for free file hosting & sharing

Tired of the annoying Rapidshare error messages such as the following to force you into a paid membership at unreasonable prices for file hosting: Unfortunately right now our servers are overloaded and we have no more download slots left for non-members. Of course you can also try again later. See what happens in most cases, when you try again later - hit the browser's refresh button and here it comes: Currently a lot of users are downloading files. Please try again in 2 minutes or become a Premium member. Please note, the server is not going to check again within the next 2 minutes if downloading is possible again. To provide a fair platform, all user get the same options. Your last attempt was 12 seconds ago.
