i hv a slightly OT question. is it possible to turn off this "Find as You Type" (FAYT) feature? instead, i would like to use Listary for the "Quick Switch" feature and "Favorites" menu.
Sorry that disabling FAYT is not supported in the current version. In Listary 4 you can configure the toolbar to not show up automatically when you type and trigger it via hot key manually. @Channing: thanks for the info. i'll wait for the upcoming version 4 then..

I'm thinking of buying a Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 while I'm here in Seoul. They seem quite nice. (A friend has an 8.9, and it's slick.) what's the advantage of buying in Seoul? are there any added features?

i actually like this feature. if you want to share a certain file in a folder, there is no need to move that file into the 'Public' folder. thus orphaning it from the rest of the items in the original folder. agreed, no big deal but it's an oft requested feature and quite convenient too.
That has been possible for ages with Gdocs. You just email people with a sharing link to the document, and the link can give anyone who has it read access, or write access, if you stipulate that. At any time, you can revert the file to non-shared/"private" status, and thus remove further read/write access to the file at that point - thus rendering the sharing link obsolete. i know about that feature, but Gdocs emphasises on documents but Dropbox is more on general storage. that is why i like it even more in Dropbox because my sharing is not limited to documents..

So now you don't have to put stuff in the public folder to share it with people? Cool! That's it? Is that really such a big deal? i actually like this feature. if you want to share a certain file in a folder, there is no need to move that file into the 'Public' folder. thus orphaning it from the rest of the items in the original folder. agreed, no big deal but it's an oft requested feature and quite convenient too.

Worries me slightly. I mean, it sounds like a nice idea, I'm just not sure I think Windows Live ID provides enough security to give access to all your files. more of that here. apparently there is a "second factor of authentication". Note that, in order to access a remote PC you will have to provide a second factor of authentication beyond your account password. You’ll need to enter a code that we send to your mobile phone or alternate email address even if you’re already signed in to your SkyDrive account (if you’re already on a trusted PC, you won’t have to do this every time, and it is easy to do this one-time setup). This means that anyone wanting access to your remote PC would have to have access not only to your account, but also to either an alternate email or your phone (which they would need to physically possess). https://blogs.msdn.com/b/...drive&Redirected=true
