Sheeyah!

If you know what dropbox is and you use google docs then you’re going to have a problem. Like dropbox, Google plans to let you upload whatever file type you want to your own space on their servers, so you can keep backups, photos, documents, etc online and always available.

See below

Over the next few weeks, we’re rolling out the ability to upload all file types to the cloud through Google Docs, giving you one place where you can upload and access your key files online. Because Google Docs now supports files up to 250 MB in size, which is larger than the attachment limit on most email applications, you’ll be able to backup large graphics files, RAW photos, ZIP archives and much more to the cloud. More importantly, instead of carrying a USB drive, you can now use Google Docs as a more convenient option for accessing your files on different computers…

Upload You Files and Access Them via Google Blog

Best Buy’s December sales top expectations! states Market Watch owned by the Journal (wsj)

You might know a few IT guys, nearly every company has them. Next time you pass by your tech guru ask them if they like Best Buy, I’ll bet my yearly income that 90% of them hate it. Why you ask? Purely ripping off consumers! I’ve been in IT for nearly 10 years working at small and major companies and one thing is apparent in tech, if you aren’t in the know you’ll end up paying for it.

Let me share an experience with you. This week I bought a used Canon 40d camera off craigslist it didn’t come with a compact flash card and I was so excited to start snapping away I went to my local Best Buy. They quoted a price of 169 dollars for a 16gb CF card (x133 speed for you techs). I simply looked at the teen quoting me the price and said “are you serious? wow…” She looked at me dazed and confused. After this I left (duh!), got home, and logged into newegg.com ordered the same brand and size and got it for 54 dollars shipped + tax.

I understand the convenience price hike for some items (returns), but give me a break. I think I would willing to pay an extra 20 bucks for the CF card I wanted, but 100 dollars over the price! you have to be kidding me. It’s really sad, and when I see a report of how their sales top expectations it pisses me off.  Maybe some of the price hikes are due to Circuit City being shut down and having no 1 on 1 competitors, who knows.

Now don’t turn on me and get it wrong Best Buy does occasionally have sales on some of their Items, black friday, etc. But overall Bestbuy is a complete rip.

What do you think?

Nice…

If I could describe WAR in 1 word it would be “deep”. I don’t feel like i need to grind to the highest level right away. I am actually taking my time to Level, Rank up, and gain Influence. We all know what levels are, but what are the other two.

Each character has levels and ranks. Your ranks are tied to your RVR xp, the more Ranks the better armor you can use and the better your character will be. Not only is it smart to RVR from level 1 on, but it buffs your character and it’s fun! From RVR you get Renown points as well, you will get points you can throw into buffing your weapon skill (gets through armor) or strength, int, etc.

Getting influence in an area is another cool aspect. I mentioned about the Public Quests getting you loot and xp, well i left out how influence is another reward. Complete a few public quests to get influence, once maxed (you have a bar) you can get armor based off your influence that is far superior to  items your level.

More to come….
