Ubuntu One client for Windows goes beta
OMG! Ubuntu has gotten beta access already and shared a handful of screenshots. Ubuntu One for Windows offers a very similar experience to its Linux cousin, though right now now it can only sync your main Ubuntu One folder. Support for other folders, contacts, notes, and bookmarks is on the way.
You'll need to sign up on this page with the email address you used to create your Ubuntu One account. Once that's done, it's just a matter of waiting patiently for your invite.

FCC looking into Comcast / Netflix blocking threat, Level 3 responds as analysts chime in
Beyond analyst opinions and posturing the question of whether or not Comcast has the power to set pricing for access to its network, creating the toll road Level 3 is accusing it of being, is still at issue. That will certainly come into play at the FCC, where chairman Julius Genachowski mentioned at today's meeting that the agency is looking into Level 3's claims at the same time it continues to review the joining of Comcast and NBC. As far as your Netflix streams? Safe for now, though the company isn't commenting, Level 3 isn't the only provider it relies on for access and how any deal it might reach with Comcast could affect the service is still unclear."For example, Cogent was sending far more traffic to the Level 3 network than Level 3 was sending to Cogent's network. It is important to keep in mind that traffic received by Level 3 in a peering relationship must be moved across Level 3's network at considerable expense. Simply put, this means that, without paying, Cogent was using far more of Level 3's network, far more of the time, than the reverse. Following our review, we decided that it was unfair for us to be subsidizing Cogent's business."

SiteLauncher for Chrome lets you jump to sites using a single keystroke
Back in 2008, Lee covered SiteLauncher for Firefox. It's a simple add-on that provides you with a customizable "shortcut panel" for your favorite websites. SiteLauncher for Chrome provides basically the same service, but for Google's browser. I've been using it for a few days now, and while it's not perfect, it's still very handy.
Pros: When it works, it really does provide single-keystroke access to the sites I need. Ctrl+Space and then d can take me to Download Squad. I like it. It's very customizable. You can create and delete groups, move sites from group to group, etc. The hotkey assignment GUI is well thought-out. You can see at a glance what hotkeys are already used.Cons: It doesn't always work. Sometimes I hit Ctrl+Space and nothing happens. That's mainly when the address bar ("Omnibar") is in focus, and I suspect it's due to Chrome's limitations. Still, it's annoying. It's one of those add-ons that takes some getting used to, but once you're addicted, you want to use it all the time. Having it work intermittently just keeps the habit from forming.
Okay, that was just one con -- but it's a big one!
Bottom line: Awesome add-on, if only it worked all the time.

TechCrunch Classics
Techcrunch has published thousands of blog posts over its nearly 5 and a half years. Many are good one-day stories, some we'd like to forget, but others are gems. These classics are just as interesting today as when they were first written. Why Michael is a pirate. The age of process journalism. The best ways you can get blogged. Our first AOL official meeting. Plus, some of the major news we broke. But try discovering them. It's nearly impossible. That's one of the downsides of a reverse chronology blog. There is a solution. Presenting TechCrunch Classics. A page that will keep an updated list of memorable and favorite posts.
