Reeder, one of our must have apps for the iPad, has just received an update for iOS4.2. Finally, iPad users can take advantage of iOS4's multitasking capabilities, with Reeder able to complete its synchronization when running in the background.

One of the most fun things about YouTube is watching videos with your online friends, but it's tough to keep 2 or more friends in sync. Pre-YouTube, we used to call each other on the phone and try to start a tape in our VCRs at the same time.

It feels like it's been years since Microsoft released SyncToy 2.0. That's probably because it has been. But when you have a utility that's dead simple to use that lets you synchronize files between two folders, hard drives, or other storage media, why bother updating it?

On today's This Week in Google, Gina Trapani presented a tip on how to synchronize your Google Calendar to iCal on a Mac.

When we first got a sniff of Chrome from the infamous comic book pages, most of us figured that a Google browser would feature tight integration with Google's web-based services. Though I guess if you count the metrics Google gathers via Chrome, that counts as a kind of integration. It's just not what we were looking for. What about things like Web History (which I still find just a tad creepy) ...

DirSync Pro offers a fully-featured solution that is both open source and cross-platform. The app is coded in Java, so as long as your machine can handle .jar files you'll be able to run DirSync.
