Almost every feature rich website nowadays have at-least a little bit of Adobe’s love or have Flash software. Its latest 10 beta release gets even better with GPU acceleration for H.264 video and multi-touch support and tones of bug fixes.

Now come on Adobe almost all the latest Mac or Linux are capable of playing Youtube’s upcoming 1080p  videos without breaking a sweat. But all platforms will support multi-touch, hopefully it won’t be bugged with lag problems.

I usually discover a new site everyday or atleast every week and then bookmark it. The problem is that there are too many now and I don’t want to miss out any of the latest happenings on any one of them. Enter Samfind.

I think I heard an ejaculation that ran as ‘wtf’. Its true, Oosah is offering a 1 Tera Byte of free online storage space. And thats not the border, it has the interface of the latest with support of the major social sites like Facebook, youtube, picassa and Flickr.

Get 1000 GB of Free Online Storage From Oosah

Oosah doesn’t allow users to upload video files exceeding 200 MB or image files exceeding 50 MB and MP3 files exceeding 9MB are also not allowed.
