GDrive, the mythical, all-encompassing online storage solution that will practically render most of your hardware obsolete. At least that's what the legend says.
Talk of the ever-elusive GDrive first appeared in March 2006, when Google dropped a mention into a PowerPoint presentation intended for a gathering of industry analysts. Eventually withdrawn by Google - who said it was not intended for publication - the PowerPoint revealed a plan to store "100% of User Data."
And now, GDrive's function is revealed in a few lines of code in a file used by Google Pack. Now rumors are saying it is nearing a release. And Google continues to take over the world.

TiVo will use its audience measurement tools to provide overnight industry reports regarding the most popular moments that occur during Super Bowl XLIII. This is the seventh year that TiVo will be able to provide calculations on how viewers responded to the game plays, commercials, and entertainment that occurs during the broadcast in the quickest manner possible.

Windows only: File search utility Last Changed Files finds the last 100 modified files on your drive, so you can find the file you just saved but can't remember where.
Using Last Changed Files-which requires no installation-is as simple as launching and waiting while it searches through your drive to find the last 100 modified files. Your best bet is to use the built-in exclude feature to prevent the application from searching through temporary or system files, or modify the INI file with a list of exclusions if you plan to use it a lot. This application could be very useful the next time you save a file and then can't remember where you put it-if you haven't modified 100 files since then.
