I read the news this fall about the floods in Thailand with about
the same level of interest that I suspect you all gave it. Natural
disasters always make me sad for the victims, but unless I knew
someone in the area it usually slips from my brain pretty quickly
afterward. The thing that I failed to realize was that Thailand is
a major manufacturing center for a lot of products that come
straight here to the US to be sold.

Unintentionally hilarious photo courtesy of Backify's Web siteAbout a month ago I told you about
Backify, a new Web service offering a whopping 512 gigabytes of cloud storage absolutely free.
It sounded too good to be true, especially considering that established services like Dropbox and SugarSync limit their freebie accounts to 2GB and 5GB, respectively. Even Microsoft's Windows Live SkyDrive tops out at a comparatively anemic 25GB.

Pogoplug is getting into the cloud business.
In case the name doesn't ring a bell, the company makes
cool gizmos that let you plug ordinary USB hard drives and flash drives into your router, thereby turning them into network- and Web-accessible storage.

You read the headline right: 512 gigabytes of free online storage. In the past I've written about services like
SugarSync and Windows Live SkyDrive, which give you 5GB and 25GB, respectively. But this is a whole new ballgame.
