First launch the Mac App Store and find OS X Lion. It will be located on the right hand side under Quick Links. Click the download button. After clicking download, you’ll be taken to Launchpad (if you’re already using Lion). This will take some time, so you might want to do something else and come back to it awhile later. Once it’s done downloading, go to the Finder and look for the Install Mac OS X Lion icon in the Applications folder....

Here on groovyPost, we talk about Dropbox a lot. But about two years ago, we featured one of Dropbox’s most worthy challengers — SugarSync. In our Dropbox vs. SugarSync comparison, we noted that both cloud storage / file sharing apps sported awesome desktop and mobile apps, groovy public file sharing capabilities and attractive pricing and referral bonuses. SugarSync had a leg up on Dropbox for its streaming music player, generous free space (5 GB with a free account) and its simplicity when it comes to sharing any folder on your computer without moving it to a special sync folder....

CloudHQ I’m happy to report that CloudHQ has since addressed both issues. Recently, the makers of CloudHQ shot me an email letting me know that they had vastly improved the sync time for Dropbox files. Now, it only takes a few minutes. They found a nifty solution that involves punching in your Dropbox Events RSS feed into CloudHQ. It’s still not quite instant—in my tests, it still takes about 10 to 15 minutes—but it’s a giant leap in the right direction....

While you can convert multiple audio formats to save to MP3, you also need to install the LAME MP3 encoder....

If you’re a Systems Admin and want to evaluate Windows 7 before you begin rolling it out to your customers, Microsoft has made it easy for you by providing pre-configured VHD files (virtual hard disk) already setup and ready for import into Microsoft’s new Server 2008 Hyper-V Virtual Server Platform/Hypervisor. The Windows 7 VM Image has a 90 day evaluation time bomb, but that should be plenty of time to play around and get prepared for your GPOs and other testing with your BUIT apps....

Facebook has provided users with a table in which details exactly what each admin can and can’t do. Each account type rights are pretty straightforward. Instead of each admin being able to do whatever they want on the Facebook page, there are five tiers with different rights. The Manager has the most rights. The admin account with the least amount of rights is the Insights Analyst. Then three other account types with rights in between....

We’ve covered Google Docs in the past when they added Drawing mode and Translation, but this is a whole new ball game. It’s not anything huge like Skydrive, but it’s Google branded and works with anyone who has a GMAIL account (which is most people.) If we’re lucky, this could be the first step towards a “gDrive” or at least Google equivalent to Skydrive. It’s always been frustrating attempting to upload things to Google Docs, only to receive an “incompatible file type” message....

Google Instant Search results will display as you type them. This feature pulls in the technology used in Google Scribe to strategically guess what your full query will be. The results are real-time as they only take a few milliseconds to respond. Click Here to try it out for yourself, or just Check out the video if it isn’t available in your area. I’m really enjoying the new feature, as intended it seems to make search faster than it ever was before....

Saving Google Maps for Offline Use This is how it’s done in the Android app, but the process is similar in iOS. Start by finding the area you want to save. If you want to save the area around a place that’s listed on Google Maps, just tap the place symbol, like I did for the airport in my city below. A place card will appear. If the place isn’t listed, you can drop a pin on the map by holding your finger in the area you want saved....

Click that and you will see another banner for the Free App of the Week as shown below. Then you can download the free app of the week to your Android device. Whether or not this will be a regular feature in Google Play isn’t clear as Google quietly launched this....

Facebook has always had somewhat shady policies, but some of the latest terms of service don’t exactly make one feel comfortable about sharing their personal information anymore. The result? Well, just take a look at the Google Trends chart below. Searches for deleting your Facebook are on the rise, and it’s a steep hill. The chart also shows the spikes for “facebook privacy” searches which coincide near perfectly with each new policy update from Facebook....
