Tuesday. 12.22.09 2:07 am So I have this U3 compatible Cruzer retractable micro 4G usb device. I had two but my ma broke the other one and I just recently found where I had put this one. It had been unopened, but my internet failed me and I needed to get a paper done so I used it for the first time to transfer my files between school and home. Here is the advice I need: to choose between using U3 or PortableApps. On the old one, I used PortableApps and was very satisfied with it. I had never bothered checked out the U3 stuff. I'm leaning more towards getting PortableApps again and have even decided which applications to download if I should finally choose it. U3 is still quite tempting with its added security of automatic password protection upon insertion. After a certain number of password tries, the device will erase everything. But then I've read that there is a new red desktop shortcut that cannot be disabled with installation of U3. I don't like that. Nor do I like the idea that U3 is not space-efficient--in essence creating a double of every application installed and thus, taking up space that could be used otherwise. Not only that, I currently use Google Chrome as my primary web browser which is not included in the numerous applications/software that U3 has. However, it IS included in PortableApps as a freeware and there is a beta version that syncs the bookmarks between the app and your computer--awesome plus. And I don't need many apps anyway, like I already mentioned, the apps available on PortableApps are good enough. BUT, yes another but, I see that icon to launch U3 and I'm so curious, it's so tempting to click it and try something new. So...if I should decide to get PortableApps, should I delete the whole package of U3? Or should I give in the childish temptation to play with something new and activate/install U3 and later find some way to put Chrome on there? Oh, dilemmas...=3 Plugs: The-Muffin-Man Categories: 2009 [t], technology [t] 2 Comments. re: my boring work days consist of surfing the internet until i have read everything i'll ever be interested in. i'm clueless in terms of your tech advice, but i was wondering, what does :3 mean? i see a lot of people using it nowadays, and i don't get it. it looks funny to me. » thaitanic on 2009-12-22 09:33:51 I think I'd stay away from the U3, if it's going to clear the device. Then again, I didn't like the amount of craziness U3 contributed to things, so I removed it and have a blank stick. » ikimashokie on 2009-12-24 09:53:46
