their favorite brands much too seriously. As Ars Technica reports, a

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.

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.
