Hasta La Gadget!

Hey, it worked for McDonald’s, didn’t it? KFC would certainly prefer that its British customers hang around for long enough to justify a bucket of chicken rather than a Snack Box, so it’s teaming up with The Cloud to offer free WiFi in all of its UK restaurants. The gradual rollout will just ask that visitors face a KFC landing page before they wander over to cat videos and ex-partners’ status updates. We’re glad to have one more avenue for internet access when we’re feeling peckish, although we may question our path in life when we’re Instagramming a Boneless Banquet For One.

D-Link’s latest storage solution is pitched at small business and households looking to escape into the world of cloud storage. There’s four SATA bays, each of which can carry up to 4TB, with D-Link adding in compatibility with its own cloud cameras (for network video recording) plus connectivity to Android, iOS, BlackBerry and Windows Phone devices. Remote access from your phone or tablet is possible through either the dedicated app or D-Link’s portal website. There’s also a pair of ethernet jacks on the back, for full-speed file transfer and back-up. The Cloud Storage 4000 is priced up at $450 and includes an DLNA server which will hook-up with D-Link’s own BoxeeBox, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 — storage buffs can even setup automatic email and SMS event notifications. Read up on the finer details in the press release below.

We took a good look at the AcerCloud service early this year and its companion Android handset, the award-winning CloudMobile phone. Now, Acer has launched a beta service in Europe, so buyers of the company’s new laptops and desktop machines over there will be able to try it out for themselves. To get it working, you can install the portal app onto your Android device and Acer PC, allowing you to download images and other files between the pair. You can also send files back to your computer for backup, expanding the storage of your smartphone or slate through your own mini-cloud.

There’s no word on when users will be able to partake stateside, but if you’re across the pond, hit the source link for the mobile app.
