We're already smitten with Dropbox, the cloud-based backup software that makes easy work out of synchronizing files across different locations and PCs, but now we're nothing short of love struck. With the release of Dropbox Anywhere for Android, iPad, and BlackBerry, the developers have kicked things up a notch in a huge way.
"With the innovation and growth in mobile computing, the industry is shifting from a PC and desktop centric model to one where our daily computing experience spans multiple devices and locations," said Drew Houston, CEO and founder of Dropbox. "By providing seamless and ubiquitous access to users' files and media in the most popular phones and tablets, Dropbox Anywhere helps deliver on the promise of the new mobile model, and makes using these devices more productive and fun."
Dropbox was already available for the iPhone, and now users of other mobile OSes can access, manage, and share files from a variety of devices. It also includes developer capabilities so that Dropbox's file-access and syncing features can be baked directly into their mobile apps, the company said.
Dropbox for Android and iPad are available now, with the BlackBerry app expected to ship this summer.

Couldn't dropbox be used as a way of locating a stolen notebook computer? Here's how: Create a .bat file that runs when window starts and the bat file creates a text file with the IP address, and stores the text file in your dropbox folder. Then when you connect to the internet, the dropbox uploads your IP address text file to the cloud. From any other computer you can find the IP address your notebook was last used from. Anyone know how to write a .bat file to do that? Even better if you can make the text file store all of your recent IP addresses. Dear Maximum PC...please send me a free T-shirt for my brilliant idea. And send the guy who write the .bat file a free cap.

I got my unemployment check yesterday (direct deposit) and I can afford to get one. Ya know, unemployment check, food stamps, wic, and cash assistance, I can afford a shiney new Cadillac Escalade if I wanted one. Even with all those perks, I still won't give Steve Handjobs a dime of my hard earned....ahem...money.
