Ultaportable Apps: Take Your Thumbware Anywhere

Posted by timothy on from the simon's-nephew-perhaps dept.

museumpeace writes "On his blog, Jeremy Wagstaff makes available a list of the apps now packaged for USB thumbdrives. He also wrote these up in WSJ but that will cost you. My personal favorite is the FireFox in a box...every where I went, I had a different crop of bookmarks, now my browsing is the same wherever I go."

    It's called Spellbound

    It's a great Firefox extension. You can spell check any field.

    And yet, it's selling. If something pointless falls in a forest and everyone around gets the point, does it no longer have orange sport cases available?

    I keep several documents on there too. A current copy of my resume, a list of sites and passwords, some random pr0n, helpful regedits, PHP books in .pdf, basic drivers for my NICs, and pics of my kids.

    I imagine that could lead to an akward moment...

    "Here, let me show you some pics of my kids..."

    Inserts thumbdrive, opens "teens.jpg".

    "Uhh... wrong file..."
