Sharing large files never got easier. Why bother yourselves with signing up, buying an upgrade and then renew it every month, when you can upload files up to 10GB for free!

File Savr is the simplest file sharing service we have come across yet. By offering 10GB for free, they are miles ahead of competitors like Media Fire who charge users for the same amount of space.

Their description of the service:

FileSavr’s goal is to simply the process of file hosting. We provide fastest and easiest file hosting service as an alternative to sites like MegaUpload and RapidShare. Unlike the other sites, we do not force users to sign up for paid accounts to download files, we do not show long countdown timers, pop up ads, or any other spam related activities.

The process of uploading a file is amazingly simple. You could start uploading files right from the home page. Hit the Upload button, select your file, and watch the status. It couldn’t be simpler than that.

However (damn it, there’s always a catch), the service does not state how long the files are kept after the last download. So your friend better have downloaded that 10GB file you uploaded last week, or it might be gone today!

We at Harmless Geek feel that this is a tool that every Twitter user should make use of. It’s _the_ Twitter tool, IHGO.

How does backing up the tweets of your followers, your friends, your favorites, your own tweets, or _everything_ sound to you? It sure as hell made us jump up and take notice.

Tweetake lets you take a backup of everything you ever did on Twitter (yes, including that very humiliating tweet you made last summer). It can even backup your private timeline (like mine), unlike many other Tweet Backup tools. It does so by using the Twitter API in conjunction with your username/password, and then provides you with a .CSV format of the backup.

Quite convenient, eh? We think so too! =)

How would you like to share your opinions or thoughts about a subject in a phrase, and then track it and see what others are saying about the subject?

This is where Phrazit comes in. You can track your favorite topics and find out right away when someone “phrazes” them. You don’t even have to create an account to vote for your favorite phrase. You can also track your friends’ phrazes, provided you’re registered.

The home page shows random phrazes, so you can spend a lot of your time reading and preplanning about your next movie outing, or what to eat perhaps. =)

Give it a shot, try Phrazit. You just might like it.

The Onion’s take on what the Beijing Olympics is really about.

[Windows Only]: If having lots of shortcuts on the desktop is your idea of making life easier, then you probably should try this trick out. No software involved, just a few minutes spent in tinkering with the properties of your applications.

There are plenty of software like Launchy to make launching applications by keystrokes a snap. But what if you’re the kind of guy (like me) who does not want to install software if it can be done manually? There’s a very simple solution to this for Windows users.

Create a shortcut for your app if it doesn’t already exist. Start Menu items, desktop items, Quick Launch, or any other shortcut will also do. Now right-click on it and proceed to Properties. You should be in the ‘Shortcut’ tab.

Enter your desired keystroke in the ‘Shortcut Key’ area. For instance, I have used the keystroke Ctrl + Alt + P (for the plugins directory) as seen in the screenshot (click to enlarge). You’re done.

Launch applications with easy-to-remember keystrokes.

Additional tip: You can even select to run the shortcut in a normal window, maximized, or minimized. Quite convenient.
