SharePod – change, back-up & share the files on your iPod

Have you ever found yourself needing to back-up files from your iPod? I mean, admit it, most of us don’t really like storing large music and video files in our hard drive. And since most of the new iPod models contain large memory (to date, up to 160 GB) that we tend to rely on its capacity. I have personally experienced losing 50 GB worth of files in my iPod and I’m telling you it wasn’t an experience I want to remember; I haven’t recovered everything until now. So, to avoid file loss and to have extra perks than that of other iPod-reader softwares, download SharePod.

If you think Bankai is a word that sounds like a positively explosion, then you and Will Dayble, the creative mind behind the electronic music Bankai, have one thing in common.

The Bankai results in huge explosions and, it goes without saying, sends the opponent off to lick his wounds. That exact same power is probably what you’d get after hearing to Bankai’s music.

Adding both together, Arthur came up with a very wonderful science, “Mathemagic.” “It makes math fun and interesting,” Arthur testifies on that and this video is actually a proof of his passion to make people see numbers and operations differently and not as the traditional curse bearer in grade sheets.
