Pandora to add Music Videos to their streaming audio
Straight from the rumor-mill…We’re hearing that Pandora is planning on introducing Music Videos to their offerings of streaming audio. It seems they are in talks right now with some big time players in the music business at getting MTV like music videos integrated into a new service tentatively called Pandora Video. The big question we had was why? Seems Pandora is having CTR issues. People are letting Pandora run in the background without clicking on the ads. Since Pandora is ad supported it makes sense that focusing a user’s eyes on their web page and ads instead of being the page at the background playing music and not being seen. But wait you say, not every song has a music video to go along with it. Apparently Pandora has been in the market for prosumerish video editing. We’re guessing that maybe Pandora might allow its users to create their own videos for music that does not have a video. Stay tuned for more info!

Utility Easily Tweaks your Windows Vista
I resisted buying Vista until I was forced into it and after living with good old Microsoft Vista for quite a while now I can tell you that one installation doesn’t fit all users. Microsoft in their infinite wisdom, knowing exactly how you want to use a computer, is opt to moving controls for the sake of adding a new version number to the mix. For instance, if you want to just click on the run command you have to search for it now. Thank god for software developers that can turn off that gushy Vista garbage.

Gmail bumps regular email to 6 Gig - Our account gets almost 50 Gig
Seems as if every time I pay for something on the web it ends up going free. Google announced today that Gmail storage was increasing from 3 Gig to 6 Gigs of space, still not matching the almighty Yahoo’s claim of unlimited space.
Interesting enough though was the fact that since I paid for 25 Gigs of space (more so for Picasa Web than anything) I now have almost 50 Gigs (42.9 Gig actually) of storage showing up in my Gmail. Many users around the web are reporting storage increases already of 1 Gig or more showing up on Gmail.
Upload to FTP by Right Clicking
I can never imagine how I lived without this title. Its something I really never knew I needed until I thought about how often I needed to ftp a file. All you do is right click on a file and go to RightLoad. This is where you select which server you want to upload a file to (you must configure these obviously). Then you click the destination and thats it you have just uploaded your file.
Send a spoken email or IM easily
Want to here some text spoken to you over the web, well why not who doesn’t. Expressivo goes even further by allowing you to post that text anywhere including IM and email in just one link. You can also choose up to 3 languages to have your text spoken in, albeit you only get English, Romanian, and Polish.
At the very least it should be good for a good phone prank.
