I have been using Live Mesh for about 3 weeks now with no issues and I have to say I am truly impressed with it so far. Basically I have not had to carry a thumb drive for the last three weeks because it is working so well..

I await Live Mesh updates in the future that might support even more and more interesting features like bookmark syncing across multiple devices and Outlook email syncing possibilities?

Service update: new build coming today (0.9.3103.9)

from Live Mesh by Live Mesh Team

We are pleased to announce the release of our next update, which will be is now available later today. We’re making Live Mesh available to even more people, and removing the limit on the number of invites that you have. We’ve also greatly streamlined the sign-up process. And of course we’ve made a number of general performance improvements as well. There are more details below. By default your Live Mesh client will automatically update itself within 24 hours of the new build being posted, but you can always right-click the Notifier icon in the system tray and choose to force an immediate update.

What’s new

• More capacity: We’ve again raised the limit on the total number of customers we’ll allow to access the Live Mesh Tech Preview. Get ‘em while they’re hot!
• Expanded availability: If your country/region is the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, or New Zealand you can sign up for Live Mesh directly, with no waiting list, by visiting www.mesh.com. We’re limiting the Tech Preview to these countries/regions for now because we want to make sure that all customers have a great experience with Live Mesh, and we’re still in the process of testing the experience for other countries/regions.
• More invites: There is no longer any limit on the number of invitations that Live Mesh customers have for inviting others to the Tech Preview. Invite as many people as you like! (as long as they’re in one of the countries/regions mentioned above, of course.)
• Simplified waiting list: Though we’re not quite ready to accept customers into the Tech Preview from countries/regions other than the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand, we have greatly simplified the waiting list process for everyone else. You no longer need to sign up through Microsoft Connect. Instead, simply sign in with your Live ID on www.mesh.com, click Sign Up, and you’ll automatically be notified once Live Mesh is available in your country/region.
• Performance tuning: We’ve continued making a number of back-end performance enhancements, including tuning the P2P synchronization channel.

Windows Vista User Account Control (UAC) reminder

While we no longer require that UAC be enabled when running Live Mesh on Vista SP1, if you initially installed Live Mesh with UAC enabled, and then disabled it, you might have some issues upgrading. Please see the “NOTICE: Updating Lie Mesh and User Account Control (UAC)” Announcement on the Live Mesh forums for further information.

As always, we are continuing to improve Live Mesh with all the great feedback we’ve been receiving from our customers. Keep it coming!

Introduction and Key Findings In March 2007, McAfee released the first comprehensive map of malicious web sites across the world. For the first time, Mapping the Mal Web offered a comprehensive guidebook for web tourists—where it was safe to surf and where searchers should avoid. A year later, we revisited the data and found both remarkable continuity—and remarkable change—in the web safety landscape.

Overall risk in 2008 remains roughly • constant compared to 2007, with 4.1 percent of web sites in these 74 domains rated red (avoid) and yellow (use caution), the
same percentage as last year.

• At 5.26 percent, .com (the most heavily trafficked toplevel
domain, or TLD) is riskier than the average web site
by 1.16 percentage points, or 28.3 percent.

• Hong Kong (.hk) soared in 2008 to become the most risky
country TLD, with 19.2 percent of all sites tested rated
red or yellow. China (.cn) was second with 11.8 percent.
By comparison, last year, Tokelau (.tk) was first with
10.1 percent.

• The most risky generic TLD remains .info, with 11.8
percent of all sites tested rated red or yellow. The most
popular domain, .com, is rated ninth riskiest overall with
5.3 percent, and is the fourth riskiest generic TLD.

• In the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions, Romania
(.ro) and Russia (.ru) continue to be risky surfing
destinations; 6.8 percent of Romanian and 6.0 percent of
Russian domains are rated risky.

• In the North, South, and Latin America regions, the
United States (.us) domain is riskiest, with 2.1 percent.
The Americas TLDs remain relatively safe to surf.

from Official Google Reader Blog by dolapo

 

Mobile web browsers have come a long way since we first introduced an XHTML version of Reader back in 2006. For example, iPhone and iPod Touch owners know how powerful having a full-featured browser is. We on the Reader team are heavy mobile Safari users. Sometimes we use it to kill time, other times for answering important questions that come up during brunch: What is Tyrol’s first name? How is maple butter made? How do you sweeten rhubarb for sangria? What is John Gruber saying now? For questions like the last one, we of course use Reader to keep up with our subscriptions.

To make our (and your) Reader iPhone experience better, we wanted to really take advantage of the iPhone’s capabilities. Today we’re releasing a new beta version of Reader designed for the iPhone and other mobile phones with advanced browsers. You can use it by visiting http://www.google.com/reader/i/ on your phone.

This new version is designed to offer many of the same features as the desktop, while making it quick and easy to act on items. If you’ve used list view, then it should be familiar to you. Scan the titles for an item that interests you, tap and it expands in place. Starring, sharing, and keeping unread are done in place, so you never have to leave the list view or refresh the page. We think it’s a very fast way to power through your reading list.

Since it’s still in beta, we’re not going to automatically send you to it, so bookmark the site so that you don’t forget the address (http://www.google.com/reader/i/). We love getting feedback from users, so let us know what you think in our discussion group or the other channels.

First off a thanks goes out to the people at Ironkey for posting my review on their site. It’s always nice to see that a "nobody"… well let me rethink that… do you have to be a "somebody" these days to effect what people think… I believe the answer to that is you can be anyone to effect what people think, especially in today’s world of blogging and general Internet mayhem.

I started my blog as a simple personal experiment to try the technology and really make a simple place for me to put things so I actually remembered what the heck I was talking about or a simple place to send a friend to grab a link I thought they might like. It’s nice to see that companies take the time to care about what we the customers say, even if its not a glowing review in its entirety.

And in that same style here are the links to the other reviews:
