An interesting new online toy

The system feels like a normal desktop environment and uses the applications on your host OS to open files such as .doc. What it does offer though is online storage and a place to view photos, videos and share files and folders. To call it web storage with a nice face would be grossly understating what this application can do. Apparently however it is memory hungry and so struggles on low end machines but even with that this is worth a look.

NBC have the rights to Top Gear

digg this | Add to Del.icio.us

This story appeared on Gizmodo today and I totally agree with the author, I'm very dubious about how well this will turn out. Thank God for the BBC version, long live Jeremy, James and Richard.

I've got good news and bad news. First, the good: the amazing British auto show Top Gear is coming to the US! Now, the bad: it's in the form of a remake on NBC, haters of original ideas and kings of the unnecessary remake! That means that the wonderful hosts — Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond — won't be involved. Instead, knowing NBC, it'll probably be hosted by Macho Man Randy Savage, Vern Troyer and Alicia Silverstone. Time will tell whether or not they'll be able to pull the remake off (they did a damn good job with The Office, after all), but I'm more than skeptical. Hit the jump to check out my favorite Top Gear segment ever and then try to imagine NBC doing something half as entertaining.
