I signed up but I haven't got anything after the confirmation email. Is there a waiting list?

I'm talking about a native 'Click to open' function. The article only mentions sharing a folder to make it visible from the VM.

The main problem with using a VM is that you won't be able to open PSD files directly from your file browser. Having to switch to Photoshop and browse for the file would end up being a huge time sink in the long term.

This is really interesting. I'm giving myself 6 months to get _something_ out there (I'm not sure what exactly, yet) or a job in a tech related field.

If it doesn't work, I'll have to start applying for jobs related to my degree (teaching).

Re:Ask HN: What web services do you pay for? on Thursday May 10, 2012 @02:40PM (#3955181)
http://crashplan.com - Easy unlimited backup. For all those things that don't fit in my dropbox folder. Also, it's the only service I found that had few bad reviews (unlike Mozy).

http://linode.com - Good and reliable VPS.

Does it count if you only need to pay once for the service? If yes:

http://pinboard.in - The cleanest bookmarking service around.
