So when I was on my trip back home. I came across a program that would come in handy for me. Seeing how I'm always working on three computers and needing to transfer files. I needed to find another form of saving my documents and having access to them on all my platforms. Then I found Live Mesh Beta.
With Live Mesh, you can synchronize files with all of your devices, so you always have the latest versions handy. You can access your files from any device or from the web, easily share them with others, and get notified whenever someone changes a file.Working on one computer, but need a program from another? No problem. Use Live Mesh to connect to your other computer and access its desktop as if you were sitting right in front of it. Live Mesh has a lot of different features that allow you to share folders with others and manage your folders within Mesh. It also gives you a live desktop that is accessible through a web browser and they provide you with 5GB of free space to save on your Live Mesh Desktop. So check out Live Mesh Beta and let me know what you think. If you have a Windows Live ID you can use that to start your Live Mesh Beta account.

Google Chrome OS is an open source operating system designed by Google to work exclusively with web applications. Announced on July 7, 2009, Chrome OS is set to have a publicly available stable release during the second half of 2010. The operating system is based on Linux and targets specifically designed hardware. Google Chrome OS will be targeting the netbook sector for their operating system. With a strong focus on speed, the Chrome OS promises nearly instant boot times of about 7 seconds for users to login to their computers.
The first Chrome OS netbooks will be available in late 2010, It will not be available as a download to run and install. Instead, Chrome OS is only shipping on specific hardware from manufacturers Google has partnered with. That means if you want Chrome OS, you'll have to purchase a Chrome OS device. (Kinda lame in my opinion).
Chrome OS netbooks will not have traditional hard disk drives -- they will rely on non-volatile flash memory and Internet-based storage for saving all of your data.
Why Should Not Use IT?
Google Chrome OS is not for free.
Will not be available for download to run and install on your laptop or Mac.
It will only be available at the end of 2010 & you have to buy a Chrome OS netbook approved by Google only.
It requires Web access to run applications.
Chrome OS netbooks will not have traditional hard disk drives
It will depend on internet-based storage for saving all of your data.
Google encounter problems with the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) for bundling Google Chrome browser with the OS, just like Microsoft did with its Internet Explorer?
Why Should Use IT?
Google says Chrome OS is a faster and a more secure alternative to rival Microsoft Corp.’s Windows.
It’s booting times of about 7 seconds for users to login to their computers.
Google Chrome is both the browser and the OS.
All apps are web apps which mean that we don’t need to installs or update our products, everything runs online.
It’s not just operating system, it’s an advertising medium.
Google has produced a free, easy-to-use, efficient browser that pushes users to the Web, and Google’s ads, as quickly as possible.
Google said the OS is a medium, like television, radio or the Internet.
No software, just the web.
Google’s careful about saving the money you’d spend on an external hard-disk drive.
Chrome OS netbooks will not have traditional hard disk drives.
If you are a good Google Citizen and use all these services, you’ll never have to worry about having all your latest data with you, whether you have a net connection or not.

He has interesting ideas and a deep sense and understanding of his ideas and they are captured in his work.
