Introducing the GMail Drive. It turns the storage space you have on your GMail account into an online hard drive, which is awesome for those of us that work on documents from two separate computers. Also, you can access all the files from any computer with internet since all of the files show up as attachments in your inbox.Although there are other solutions, you could back up important documents/pictures on a separate email account. Google is pretty good with people’s data and won’t be going anywhere soon.

Mozilla developers post a screenshot of what Firefox 3.0’s unified bookmarks, history and downloads manager, named Places, may look like. Since this is just a mock up, we’ll probably end up using something that looks completely different. Get the full screenshot after the jump.

Tomato Firmware
Website: link
Download: link

This firmware will only work with Linksys’ WRT54G/Gl/GS and Buffalo WHR-G54S/WHR-HP-G54 routers.

List of new features:

• Easy to use GUI
• Bandwidth usage monitor
• logs of total upload/download totals
• ping and traceroute
• run custom scripts in telnet/ssh
• raises the limits on maximum connections for P2P
• along with tons of other new features

I’ve been using this for a while now and I’d have to say that I would install this on every router if I could. Everything is clearly labeled and navigating is tons easier compared to the default firmware. It also has tons of extra features that other firmware just doesn’t include. You can check if anyone is stealing your wireless interwebs and prioritize certain ports so they don’t get slowed down (good for gamers). If you have a router that can work with the firmware, I highly recommend that you stop reading this and you install the Tomato firmware. You have nothing to lose. There are screenshots after the jump.

I give Tomato a 10/10 for router firmware.

If you’re like me and you’ve been having trouble playing .avi files in Vista, then you should download VLC 0.9.0. Although it does come with its setbacks, it works. Just go into Settings > Preferences > Check Advanced Options on the bottom right > Video > Output modules > and change it to either DirectX Video output or OpenGL video output. It should work although some people have reported lots of video stutter. For me, the videos have been playing great, but my second monitor always stops receiving a signal and shuts off and the Aero theme shuts off while VLC is running. Still, its better than having to boot into XP whenever I want to watch a movie.
Download the newest version here.

FrostWire

• Information: Website
• Size: 5.89 MB
• Download: FrostWire
• Download: ImportantWebiste
• License: Open Source

FrostWire is an open-source peer-to-peer file sharing program that is heavily based on the better known LimeWire program. Frostwire was created by members of the LimeWire open-source community after LimeWire’s distributor finally implemented a code that would block its users from sharing unlicensed files.

For those of you that have used LimeWire, FrostWire won’t be anything new, besides the fact that the “Turbo-Charged Connection,” a feature that you had to buy for LimeWire, is available for free on FrostWire.

FrostWire also recently added the compatibility for BitTorrent. Although I won’t be using FrostWire to download most of my torrents, I have tried it and it works perfectly.

Other than those two things, FrostWire is basically an exact copy of Limewire. However, there are small extras that some might find useful like the ability to set a specific download location based on the type of media being downloaded.

So far, FrostWire has been working perfectly for me and I highly recommend that anyone that uses LimeWire immediately switch to FrostWire.
