My hard disk is showing me the red alert that it is about to be full. I have an external hard disk, but some how, it could not be read from my computer. Therefore, I have been actively searching for free online storage services, hoping to transfer some of my media away from my computer, for safe keeping and to free up some space.

Although I have found quite a few, I have not commit to any company yet as I am afraid that I would encounter problems later. As you know, the internet is very fluid and some companies may not be able to withstand the challenges and competition. We have seen many seemingly strong companies terminating some of their free services, or raising their subscription fee, haven’t we?

No doubt, I will eventually have to decide on which company to go with, or even open two accounts with two companies, just to be safe, you know? I hope that meanwhile, I could still continue with my research on the best service by reading reviews and asking friends about their experiences.

If you have anything to share, do leave me a comment. I can’t hold for too long, as I continue to shoot photo after photo as an event blogger!

Did you read the report about Malaysia has lost RM2.75 billion to cyber crime over the past five years? This was revealed by an official from the national cyber security agency.

The top affected sector was finance, obviously. However, others affected included intellectual property and copyright infringement online.

A friend once told me that the only way we can stay free from cyber crime is to stop logging on to the internet and the only way we can stay from being affected by virus is to stop using the computer. Zero risk!

At first, it’s Angry Birds, now it’s Angry Gran. A friend told me about it, urging me to download. But nah.. I am busy enough, I don’t need to get addicted to another game! I have already stopped playing most Facebook games, and don’t find Angry Birds nice to play at all… thankfully! I am of the mind that if I can’t win it, I don’t play it. HAHAH!

So anyone of you addicted to Angry Gran already??? Do you find it that nice to play? Have seen friends playing, but I am not going to try. Yes, I am weak. LOL

Apple celebrated its 25th billion download from its app store by releasing a list of top apps downloaded. Angry Birds is the top paid iPhone app downloaded in the UK, WhatsApp Messenger is the second, followed by Doodle Jump, Fruit Ninja and Angry Birds Seasons.

Meanwhile, the top free iPad app is BBC’s iPlayer, followed by ITV Player, Skype for iPad, 4oD Catch Up and eBay for iPad.

Basing on these lists, one can see that currently, people are using their iPhones and iPads for games, social networking and news and entertainment.
