In this world where everything is done through a browser, where would I drop my files from?

On a serious note, can one drop an attachment from say gmail onto that?

And dear someone, please tell me that sha1sum & friends exists for Windows!

1. Haha, I agree that files will eventually become less accesible for the majority of computer users. Something like how the iPad handles projects/songs/documents instead of the generic "file".

2. Due to HTML5 limitations, you will need to drop the file from your local storage onto the browser window.

3. Yes you can get digests of a file on Windows, but it doesn't come with a built-in program.

There's a certain cool factor of file drag/drop but I think that the click-to-browse paradigm is useful on certain laptop trackpads where dragging isn't a pleasure and other situations. It would be nice if you made the drag area clickable (like min.us).
