From KDE Dot News:
CosmoPOD is a new service offering a free remote KDE desktop service with 1Gb of remote data storage. People can use the standard KDE applications like Konqueror and KOffice, although they cannot install applications or access data storage outside their gigabyte. The guy who runs it explains:
CosmoPOD.com is a personal online desktop that offers 1GB of online storage, one may run CosmoPOD.com on any computer that is connected to the internet and may do all the common tasks a modern desktop has to offer. My long term vision for CosmoPOD is: one day you will walk through an airport or tube station and touch a public screen it will log you in instantly via your fingerprints and in a wink you will be on your full screen easy to use desktop, a little later your cell phone will bling and you can call up a mobile version of your same desktop and check your email IM etc. Users won't have a constant stream of popups telling them to update their systems and applications and security will be all there and up to date, if a next big thing app hits the market it will already be there for the users.
Traffic seems to be heavy currently; when I first tried to access the website, I got a message saying the service (the web server) was unavailable. I'm not sure how much traffic KDE Dot News gets, or if the traffic spike came from another news service. The owner gives the impression that the service is already well-subscribed.
