*FREE* Amazon Cloud Drive and Cloud Player

Posted on Mar 29, 2011 in Media, Reviews, Software, Technology | 0 comments

Amazon.com has been one of my favorite online retailers for awhile, with their excellence selection of products, great pricing options on both new and used items, and a pretty slick premium membership called Amazon Prime that offers its subscribers free two-day shipping on any eligible item. Just yesterday, Amazon.com has added a great new option if you have a free Amazon.com account – 5GB of online file storage via Amazon.com!  And that’s just the free-for-everyone version.  Compare that to 2GB from Dropbox and Box.net.  Additionally, it adds the ability to stream any...

Stumbled across an interesting stat the other day.  In the recent past, our President’s Approval Rating has dropped to as low as 41%.  What I find interesting about this is that I had to stumble across this stat to know about it.  Our previous president’s approval rating was broadcast among multiple news channels daily, and it seemed as if we were consistently bombarded with how “horrible” he was in America’s eyes.  How is it that our current leader isn’t receiving the same treatment by the media?  Fox News gets ripped a new one all the time for their...
