Google Docs is now connected to Microsoft Office
Google Cloud Connect for Microsoft Office is a plugin which allows you to sync your Microsoft Office documents to Google Docs. This allows you to backup your documents in real time and at the same time allows you to share, collaborate and sync the files automatically and conveniently. The settings can be easily tweak within the plugin and each document will have its own unique URL.
A picture speaks a thousand words, thus a video should speak far more than a picture, let's watch the video below.

FREE: Avast Antivirus 6
Get your hands on the new Avast Antivirus 6 which was launched yesterday! It is the second free antivirus software which offers the sandboxing feature in their free version. Its AutoSandbox allows you to run programs that it suspects as threats in a virtualised state so that it will not damage your system. CNET gave it a 4.5/5 star and the editor's review (Seth Rosenblatt) can be read here. I personally use Avast 5.0 and now 6.0 after Avira's free antivirus slows down my PC last year. It's fast and it updates really quickly too!
WHAT is sandbox? Wikipedia's answer

(You may need to use Internet Explorer or Firefox (with Java) for this to work as it won't work on my Google Chrome.)

Qwiki - A wiki that is better than Wikipedia?
If you think Wikipedia is too long winded, why not try Qwiki, as it offers a more interactive and simpler explanation of a topic that you want to understand.
All you need to do is to type in the topic that you want to know, for instance, "Gorilla" and an interactive player will explain gorilla to you interactively (voice, image, subtitle). You can zoom into the images by clicking on them and the player will pause automatically, allowing you to look more detail into the images.
After that, you can share it on Facebook, tweet about it and also embed it on your website/blog. And if you think that the information is insufficient, just click on Wikipedia, Google, Fotopedia or Youtube (on the left side of the page after the explanation ends) for more information. Clicking on them search the topics you intended to know on the respective database/search engine.
For a start, play with Qwiki with this search - Gorilla (Click here)
