Cloud Computing

Name of Service	How Much Storage Capacity for   Free	Can you download a   drive to your computer?	How Much is the Upgrade Price to Pro or more storage
Google Drive	15gb	Yes	$4.99/month for 100gb $9.99/month for 200gb
Microsoft Sky Drive	7gb	Yes	~$2/month for 50gb ~$4.15/month for 100gb ~$8.30/month for 200gb
Dropbox.com	2gb	Yes	$9.99/month for 100gb
Hightail.com	2gb	Yes	$15.99/month for unlimited storage
Apple iCloud	5gb	Yes	~$8.30/month for 50gb

Google Drive is definitely the best for me because it has the most capacity for free. I prefer to just store my files on an external hard drive, but if I were to switch to cloud instead, I would likely use either Sky Drive or Hightail because Sky Drive has the most storage for the best price, but Hightail is unlimited for about twice as much so if I thought I would use at least 400GB, I'd use Hightail.

Search Engines

After having completed the assignments on search engines, I can safely say that I still don't care for Bing. As a matter of fact, I don't think I'll ever use any search engines other than Google and WolframAlpha. Google is still my favorite search engine for anything and everything, but WolframAlpha has many advantages for math and statistics searches. Bing just has too much unnecessary things going on (as is Microsoft's modus operandi) and besides, Google is already so nicely integrated in both of the browsers that I use. Yes, there are ads and whatnot, but that isn't enough of a bother to me that I feel inclined to switch from Google.
