Tonight has been a very stressful night for me. People kicked in my door when me and my roommates where out of the apartment and basically took everything. And because I'm such a tech geek, I was hit the hardest. So I really considered not doing this post at all, but I'm sitting at my mom's house late at night about to try to do the best that I can.
One thing that really interests me is checking out what is going on in the technology world. Google being one of the companies that is always in the news about their latest innovations, makes me read up on anything that mentions their name. Well while surfing the net during some downtime at work, I stumbled across a story about a major improvement to Google Docs that will be coming to all users in a few weeks. There will now be an option to upload files that are non-Google Doc files such as music, videos, pictures and zips to be held on Google's servers. All users will be give 1GB of storage for free, with the option of adding additional storage for a small fee. (Picture above shows how the app will tell you the amount of storage you have left)
While the sudden addition of being able to add non-Google Doc files is nice, this may not be the long awaited G: Drive that sparked rumors last summer. Some say that when it Google official storage space is added, that it will be more tied into it's properties and will be available to all users. I personally like this idea very much. How many of us have had to email ourselves a paper that we worked on all night and had to print it out at the lab? This eliminates all that. Basically upload anything, your favorite songs or photos to the Google storage and it will always be available where ever you go. And I'm sure they will find a way to implement this into other Google Platforms like Android and play a major role in Google Chrome OS.

I first wanted to send my apologizes to you with how sad I am that your were broken into and your stuff was taken. It really doesn't matter what was taken, just the fact that it was yours hurts more than anything. I hope you called the police right away. I also have had a similar thing happen to a good friend and he had insurance on his house. He was able to get a lot of money from the insurance company. In the end though it really is not enough and the damage has already been done.
ReplyDeleteI wish you luck and good job for posting something when I know you didn't want to think about doing class work.
I hope things will get better for you soon. Its really sad that some people take things that aren't theirs.
ReplyDeleteYour posts is nice. I always like finding out new information.
