Facebook Photo Zoom

If you socialize with Facebook, you might have felt it irritating every time you have to click a photo - Profile Photo, Albums, Wall photos etc.,- to enlarge it and then hit the back button in the browser to continue. This can be easily fixed by customizing the browser by installing a Facebook Photo Zoom Plugin to it. After the installation, the browser starts showing the enlarged picture when you move the mouse pointer over the picture.


This Facebook Photo Zoom plugin is available for both Firefox and Google Chrome Browsers. If you are using any of these browsers install the plugins from the links given below which surely enhances the Facebook experience.

For Firefox you can click here, click "Add to Firefox" button and then restart the browser to start using this addon.
And for Google Chrome go here and click the "Install" button to enable the extension.

After using it for almost a month now, I find it very useful and addictive that I take my mouse over the thumbnails in other websites like Google images, imdb.com and expect them to show the enlarged picture.

Try these plugins in your browsers and give your feedback.

Dropbox - File Sharing across Computers and Online Backup

Ever thought of taking a backup of your files- at least the Documents- daily so that your business is not crippled when a virus attacks or Hard disk fails?
Have you thought of sharing your files across multiple Computers? For example, A Quotation that lies in your Office Desktop which you need on your laptop that runs Mac OS X or Linux while travelling.
Do you need a solution to work from home where every document that is updated or created by your secretary at your office is immediately replicated at your home computer or laptop.


Here is the Answer.


Dropbox

So What is DropBox?


DropBox is a software or service that syncs your file to an online storage and across the Computers.


Installation and Setup


You will have to create a Dropbox account with your email ID(any email ID works) by clicking the following link - https://www.dropbox.com/login#register.

After the registration is complete you will be taken to the Download page.

Download the Setup file and install it. During Installation you will be asked for Account information to connect to the Dropbox online storage. Select a folder you need to synchronize to the online storage and you are done. If you want to synchronize your files across Computers install the same Software in the computers you wish to sync and give the same account information in all the Computers.


Storage Space


DropBox gives you a free 2 GB online storage while you start and you can increase that free space to 5GB by referring it to your friends. You get 250MB free for each friend you refer.


Platforms
Dropbox is supported in Windows, Linux, MacOS X, and iPhone OS. This means a file that is used on your windows PC can be accessed from your MacBook pro in a jiffy.


Online Storage
Use Dropbox to have a backup of your documents so that you will not your files in case of a disaster. In case of a hard disk crash, don't worry about the data. Install a new hard disk. Connect to the internet. Setup DropBox again. Leave the computer online for a few hours. Voila! Your data is back on your computer again.


Paid Storage
DropBox's Storage space can be increased by paying them a service fee for the Space on a monthly basis. You can get a 50GB Space @ $9.99/month and 100GB Space @ $19.99/month.


I personally use this sofware and recommend it to everyone if you use a lot of documents.
