∞ Ultimate cloud sync storage face-off

Possibly the best comparison ever done. Kuddos to…

…The Verge

We’ll take a look at the top apps that let you sync files between all of your devices automatically, share files using password protection, pick which folders you want to sync, and do anything else you might want to do with a syncing app. While our evaluations of each app aren’t full-on reviews, they are encapsulations of where each app excels and what makes each unique.

On a side note, Google Drive turned out to be quite lame…

∞ SkyDrive is getting pretty cool with sync features

So few hours ago, the SkyDrive team has announced new features and most notably a client which will allows you to sync your files on your Windows or Mac machines. 

Yes it’s like Dropbox, but with more storage and cheaper plans. Obviously, just like Apple, Microsoft probably tried to buy Dropbox and upon denial, decided to created a clone app. And it works great so far.

Now let’s see what Google has in store for their GDrive :)

★ Few ideas for tomorrow’s webmails

Some say email is nearly dead. Other say that email is still a very important means in online communications. I guess this is just a service that needs to evolve with its time, and as far as I am concerned, I’m not really ready to give up on it just now. After all, webmails were the first true SaaS offering. In fact they also were the first true Software+Service solution when coupled with a desktop client. That’s why, I have a few idea to boost webmail features.

∞ Microsoft's Secret Weapon Against Google Maps -- Open Source

A nice analysis which is still missing a point: the Bing Maps brand will be eclipsed by Nokia Maps. The real winner might actually be more Nokia than Microsoft.

From PC World : 

One of the many areas where Google is far ahead of Microsoft is mapping, with Google Maps by far the dominant map service on the Internet. Microsoft is employing an under-the-radar approach to fighting back, lending big support and big dollars to the open source map project OpenStreetMap. It looks as if the tactic is starting to pay off.

A pretty cool promotional video from RIM showing several use cases for the PlayBook with OS 2.0. I have to say this tablet really rocks and the 7-inch form factor is actually very convenient.

★ Attending the Mobile World Congress

I’m currently in Paris airport waiting for my flight to Barcelona. For the third time I will be attending MWC which looks to be quite of an event this year.

∞ Anti-RIM propaganda caught in the wild & punished

ReadWriteWeb usually have good articles but one bearing the sensational title “Sorry, RIM: The Playbook Still Sucks” is yet another piece of craps written by a most incompetent journalist blogger.

If you would like to see what RIM is currently victim of, head over this article and do pay attention to the comments.

That’s what happens when a Canadian company is depicted by an American Apple fanboy.

The SkyDrive integration into Windows 8 is going to be pretty cool. I’m quite tempted to switch back to Windows now. I was already quite disgusted with OS X Mountain Lion anyways… Truth is,  Microsoft is quite way up and Apple way down.

A Free PlayBook, now that’s pretty cool :) Eagerly waiting for PlayBook OS 2.0 now :)
