A couple of years ago we lamented the stated of Microsoft’s cloud storage services. On the one hand, there was SkyDrive, with gobs of storage. On the other hand, there was Mesh, with file synchronization and remote access. Two separate products, when really there should have been one.

“And the Oscar goes to…Netflix!”
The other night in Hollywood, The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences handed out the Oscars for the best films and best film talent of the year…and what a year it was. Many of the the night’s top prizes went to extraordinary movies that will be available to watch instantly on Netflix in the weeks and months to come.
The two biggest winners this year were “The Artist” and “Hugo.” Both films celebrate the world’s passion for the history of movies. “The Artist,” using classic moviemaking techniques, is presented in black and white and without dialogue, while “Hugo,” employs Hollywood’s latest technical artistry to present a dazzling experience in 3D to theatrical audiences.

VLC, the greatest video omnivore of them all, has finally reached its two-point-oh, after eleven years. What’s new? Plenty. But don’t worry, the old standby can most importantly still play virtually anything you throw at it.
Mac users will see the biggest immediate benefit: VLC isn’t ugly anymore! The program’s Windows 95-chic UI is gone, replaced with an Apple-y, single-window interface that’ll match everything else on your desktop. It’s smooth, simple, and comprehendible, for once. Drag a video onto the window, and it’ll start playing. Kaboom.
