google drive

-





earlier today Google announced its foray into the cloud storage world with the introduction of Google Drive. No, it wasn’t too much of a surprise, considering we’ve heard half of a dozen rumors from half of a dozen “people familiar with the matter”. What it offered wasn’t too much of a surprise either; the 5GB of free storage for storing documents and other various files. The kicker is how Google will be taking down the competition: 100GB of storage for only $5 a month.
The biggest competitor is Dropbox, but considering their 100GB plan is $20 a month, this is a downright steal. Hell, Google even beats their 50GB option, which goes for $10 a month. We all know that Google has a strong network too, so reliability shouldn’t be an issue.
I’m not a fan of cloud storage, and don’t use it often. In most scenarios, it’s just more convenient for me to use local storage, or even a USB flash drive. Uploading something to the cloud is almost an inconvenience in my mind, something many of my colleagues disagree with. It isn’t a lack of storage for me, either. The guys over at SugarSync were kind enough to give me 25GB of free storage for a year a few months back, but I have only used it a few times.
It’s more about what you guys think. Feel free to vote in our poll below, and let us know how you feel about cloud storage in the comments below.

Bimbo’s Initiation: An Old Cartoon About Masonic Initiation

This short video from the 1930′s features beloved cartoon characters and is described on YouTube as “creepy” and “disturbing”. The cartoon is indeed very dark and bizarre but only minimal knowledge of Masonic symbolism is required to realize that the cartoon is all about secret societies and the ordeals an initiate must go through to be accepted. To the symbol-literate, it’s as blatant as it gets. Here’s the video. At the beginning of the cartoon, Bimbo (a good name for a non-initiate?) walks down the street without a care in the world. Suddenly, a certain cartoon character traps Bimbo down a manhole. Bimbo gets trapped...Mickey Mouse? Funny how this character is the recruiter that lead to Bimbo's forceful initiation. Is it a thinly veiled comment on Disney's Masonic ties? Bimbo then finds himself in the underground lair of a strange secret society composed of  masked men with candles on their heads (symbolizing illumination?). One a...

Where can you transfer your credits earned at the University of the People?            I am a current student at the University of the People.
