DropBoks, is a nice little file storage service with limited features and neat & clean interface. The service has got no frills attached to it and it seems that neighter they are interested in attaching any either. The service is providing you a simple 1 Gb of space and that too for free. The nice thing about the service is that they are giving the service with simplest of the features and design. However, it would have been nice if they would have offered the option of sharing the service. But, if they will offer that service then it will be too costly for them to maintain the bandwidth prices. I beleive that because the service is fast and simple, it will be able to attract the users. Right now, they are allowing only 50 MB per file only and I think that they should create some plugin like Gdrive to make it popular among the users. They are only depending on the donations and want only $ 1 as the donation. They hope that if people will like the service, they’ll be getting donations as well. Lets hope that nice and good service should be around more and that people will actually donate them to keep them alive.
The service has got such terms and conditions which may allow users to upload the files without worrying about the checks on their files and thus this may attract the players of dark side of the internet, which tries to keep everything free on the internet in illegal way.
All in all, the service is extremely nice as the simple things have the tendency of attracting the people and we can see that how Google started out with the simplest designs ever and has grown into such big giant. I am not expecting them to make wonders like Google but just the idea of providing good service in a neat way seems really nice.

Clipmarks, A little more than the social bookmarking service has launched the weekly newsletter called ClipWeek. Clipweek will feature the top clips (submissions or bookmarks), featured clippers and the news related to Clipmarks. The clipmarks service was reviewed in June 2006 and it was considered that it was way better than Google Notebooks. The step of starting ClipWeek is most likely taken to increase the user involvement, which is most likely missing as compared to many other social bookmarking services. It will be good to see if Clipmarks gets equal popularity as other services like Digg, Reddit and Del.Icio.Us have got.
Clipmarks has improved a lot in its interface from last time. Now, it has more like Google Reader design, where we have the clips on the left and then the main content of the clip on the right hand side and that too scrolls in a small box and thus the full page scrolling is not there anymore and looks much neat and clean than before.
However, what I would like to see more will be the use of AJAX in case of logging into the service and displaying of the clips. Not only that will make the site much more easy to use but will make it much more nice looking and useful.

We all work on computers, all day and night and be it work or home, we are some or the other way are using the computers. Now, the point is that after so much use, what exactly we do to keep our computers running as fast as new. I know it is next to impossible to keep it as fast as a fresh loaded machine but yes the results can be brought some what near to that performance.
Now, the tips in this tutorial or article may be old and may be that most of us must be aware of these tips as well but I’ll try to incorporate as many tips as I can and I’ll hope that you’ll find something or other useful in this tutorial. I’m being specific to windows computers over here and not talking about Linux or Macintosh (I’m sorry to disappoint Mac & Linux users, but some simple tips will certainly help you people as well.)
* Software Installation : Installing more and more software can make the computer slow down. The reasons for that are that installation of a software will make entries in registry and that is somewhat bad. The software may be running in the startup. The software will install various files on the computer and an overloaded hard disk makes the computer slow.
* Free up disk space : Try to keep your hard disk space free. You’ll always notice that a computer with free space on hard disk will always run much faster than the one which is loaded with extra stuff.
* Remove Unwanted Items From Startup : Well, if you’ll remove the unwanted softwares from the startup then your computer will boot up much faster and the memory (RAM) will also remain free and thus that will again result in better computing experience. I’ll suggest you to use free version of WinPatrol for this if you want you can buy the paid version and that is Winpatrol Plus as well. It is a very nice software and will help you a lot.
* Run hard disk maintenance utilities : Always run the utilities like Disk Defragmentation or Disk checking utilities regularly, around once in 2 weeks.
* Run Registry Cleaner : Right, this one is related to first tip. In case you’ve already installed and uninstalled various softwares before reading this tutorial then you can go ahead and run various registry cleaning softwares. Regseeker is one of the highly rated software and has some of the good utilities to help you in various computer tweaking.
* Keep your windows and security softwares up to date : Yes, updating the windows and keeping the security softwares will help you being safe from latest viruses and worms. Having a good anti-spyware is one of the good options.
