One of our faithful readers, Alex, noticed our underlying plea for an invite to the Dropbox service that we wrote about earlier today. While Dropbox has no formal way to invite a friend they do let you share a folder with others, and if they don't have an account it will let them create one on-the-spot. So Alex shared a folder with us, and we were able to get an account!

Google Blogoscoped noticed that there was a presentation given by Google at KMWorld the other day, and while there they gave an inside look at some of the tools they use internally to stay productive.

One topic that surprisingly hasn't been mentioned on CyberNet yet is Guitar Hero.

Yesterday in the CyberNet Forum, Max mentioned a site that he recently saw which looked awesome called Dropbox.  We checked it out and sure enough, it is pretty awesome and I think you'll agree. It's currently in the private beta stage so you'll need an invitation to check it out, but they've got a video posted that does all of the talking and really demonstrates what you can do.

Some of you may have noticed that we were down for about the last hour and a half. No, our server didn't crash. In fact it still hasn't been rebooted in 245 days. Without getting into too many details we'll just say that the hamster fell asleep at the wheel.

Stardock has started to deliver the DeskScapes 2.0 Preview yesterday to anyone that wants to give it a whirl. Previously DeskScapes was a way for Vista Ultimate users to extend the functionality of Dreamscene, but now it works on any version of Vista without needing Dreamscene. It's a great way to have an animated desktop background on your Vista machine, oh, and did I say that it's free?

Toshiba has had a rough year as they've watched HD DVD rather quickly fall to the bottom and eventually get discontinued. February 9th was the day that they made the official announcement that they were going to stop development, manufacturing, and marketing of HD DVD players and recorders.

Welcome to Daily Downloads brought to you by CyberNet! Each weekday we bring you the Windows software updates for widely used programs, and it's safe to assume that all the software we list is freeware (we'll try to note the paid-only programs).

There's an application that I've been using for years that has saved me a lot of time and trouble. It's a Windows application called Sizer, and it is completely free and extremely small in size. Those of you who have installation-phobia can rest easy knowing that there is a no-install version available.
