If you know of any useful Website based applications, please post them here.

I'm sure there are many, so let's see what we can come up with.

Copy and Paste from any Computer to Another.

Most users have encountered the situation where they want to copy some text such as a product license key, from one computer to another. Often this means having to create a text file and then transferring the file to the other computer using a USB stick or CD. Here's a simple alternative that works:

HeyPasteIt! is a free web service that allows you to paste the text onto a clipboard on their site where it is then stored at a unique address. You can then access that clip from another computer using that address, copy the text and then paste it to a file or where ever.

I tried it and it worked well. It even handled multi-page clips. However you can't copy and paste images - it's text only. Another reservation is the site doesn't mention how long the clips are kept for. However my test clips were still available a week after creation and that's more than enough for the intended use.

For example:

Go to their site & type this code: 5C6 into this box on there site to see what I pasted earlier

This site is well worth bookmarking. One day you'll need this.

Radio On The Net.

This is a great site for listening to your favorite radio station (Local & Worldwide) on the Internet.

It has sooo! many.

The only downside is that since the US tightened their security policy it no longer allows European listeners to access some of the American radio stations from outside the United States.

That said though, there is plenty still to choose from.

Check it out!

Live Mesh (Microsoft).

Access files from any computer on the Web.

Many people use more than one computer to do their work; for example, at home and in the office.

With Microsoft's new Live Mesh Tool you can automatically, synchronise files between multiple PCs and access them from anywhere.

You get 5GB of free storage & can control if you want to share files too, by making them accessible to others if you wish.

Note: A Windows Live ID is required.

its called easyBCD
great for managing dual boot systems, for example if you have xp and vista on the same machine
also good for backing up your bootloader in which has happenned to me on more than one occasion where i got an error boot bcd is missing on startup, quiet annoying!

It is a very useful App, every toolbox should have it.

Have you tried iReboot? Another must for Dual Booters :)
