FeelHome Gives Easy Remote Access to Your Files Across Platforms
by neetika on Mar.12, 2010, under Latest Web Technologies

Windows/Mac/Linux: If you would like to easily access, edit, and save files across multiple computers, free application FeelHome allows you to share files across operating systems and over the web.
Once you install FeelHome on your computer and specify which folders you want to share, you can access those files from the web or from another computer in your virtual FeelHome network.
Files aren’t stored on the FeelHome servers, and FeelHome isn’t an online storage solution like Dropbox. Your files still reside on their respective computers. Instead, FeelHome allows you to access them between machines and through the web-based interface. FeelHome’s servers act as secure mediators in the transaction—much like the LogMeIn Hamachiservers help mediate your VPN connections.
Mini Wide Fullscreens Gmail, Is Very Netbook Friendly

Firefox/Chrome: Small netbook screens make you really appreciate every last pixel on your device. The Mini Wide userscript for Gmail adds a “netbook mode” shortcut to Gmail that removes navigation and ads for a streamlined, netbook-friendly, message-focused view of your inbox.
Once installed, just tap ‘w’ to toggle between the default Gmail view and netbook mode. That’s all there is to it. Assuming you’ve mastered Gmail’s keyboard shortcuts, the lack of navigation isn’t all that big of a deal—plus you can easily bring back the default view with a quick press of the ‘w’ key. The tweak is a little rough around the edges at times (I couldn’t use ‘g’ + ‘l’ label navigation unless I toggled out of mini mode, for example), but it’s a nice start, and could be really useful for netbook users.
You’ll need the Grease monkey extension to install it in Firefox; Chrome supports installing userscripts as extensions, so just head to the homepage and click Install.
