We know you love a good NAS, so we're pleased to report that the crew over at QNAP Systems has announced the TS-239 Pro Turbo NAS, a dual (2TB) bay Atom-based device that sports a 1.6GHz Atom CPU, 1GB DDRII memory, a none-too-shabby 350MBit/s throughput, and iSCSI target service for SMB and SOHO users. Other features include hot-swappable locking disk trays, two (count 'em!) Giga LAN ports, three USB 2.0 ports, two eSATA ports, and support for Windows, Mac, Linux, and UNIX operating systems. You can expect the myriad of features the company usually provides in their network appliances, including thin provisioning, online RAID capacity expansion, AES 256-bit volume-based encryption, SMS and email alerts, bit.torrent and EMule downloads, FTP and web server support, database and content management, print server, XDove mail, and Surveillance Station for video monitoring and recording. We still don't know why Nas doesn't have a contract with the company, but we have high hopes that Jay-Z can help him broker some sort of spokesperson gig.

So often, writing an email involves opening a new tab to look up something, copying the link, then heading back to paste it. Gmail's latest Labs feature consolidates that process with pop-up Google searches.
Once you enable the Google Search feature in Gmail's Labs menu, you'll see a new Google Search bar in Gmail's left-hand sidebar. Depending on whether you're in the inbox, writing a new mail, or replying to someone else's message, what happens after you type your search and hit enter varies a little bit, but it's all meant to help you search and insert direct links and search result references in your emails.
So, for example, when you're composing a new email, searching from the left-side box will pop up a window just like a chat message with the first few results. Hover over the bottom-right of any result, and a drop-down menu lets you paste that result's direct URL (instead of the common Google click-tracking gobbledy-gook), paste a link to the Google search results page, or pop open a new message with that link auto-inserted. Search from the inbox, and you can start a new message with a search result.
Whether you'd like to hunt down words you overuse or you're looking to turn text from your manifesto into 
You can set the maximum number of words as well as the minimum frequency. You can also have TagCrowd show the frequency number next to the word. If there is a specific set of words from your text sample you would like to be ignored you can create a custom filter list to prevent them from appearing in the cloud. TagCrowd is a free application, if you create a particularly impressive cloud share a screenshot of it in the comments below. Thanks Mike!
Much like killer Firefox extension/experiment
