For a limited time, SitePoint is giving free copy of Photoshop ebook called “The Photoshop Anthology”. This book will cover different web design techniques by using Photoshop.
What you need to do is just provide your email address, and they will send you the download link. There are two format of ebook (high resolution and low resolution). I suggest that you download the high resolution version, although it may take longer time. But it is worth as you get higher quality of graphics and images.
I had use my yahoo mail in the email form, but unfortunately it take few hours before i can get the download link. You can direct download the ebook from sitepoint without register (Thanks labnol for sharing the link).

G.ho.st hosted a lot of applications and services, which can run immediately without installation. Most of the applications are online services which are also free. You can view the complete applications list here. User can create a single-sign in for services which use frequently, such as Google Docs. They provide a ftp fr each user so that they can download/upload anything easier. For browsing and email, G.ho.st comes with its own browser and email client which has a pretty interface. The screenshot below shows G.ho.st browser application:
G.ho.st is still in public alpha and it takes long time to load the application. But, its interface really attract me. Although it provide a lot of applications and services, but it is too few compare with desktop applications. I hope that they can try to integrate as many as online applications in future.
