Alternative to Apple's Browser Sync [ dot mac ] / Google Browser Sync

In a recent expedition to find some stuff for my MSc Project i was looking around google labs section. I particularly need to synchronize by book marks and sessions across machines.. which is why i was *thinking* of buying a dot mac account espically since now they have increased the disk quota as well. On google i found a new extension for firefox which lets you sync

1. Cookies
2. Saved Passwords
3. Bookmarks
4. History
5. Tabs & Windows

All these can be selected and optionally encrypted as well.. You need to get your self a google account [ Free Signup ]. Install the firefox extension, called Googles browser sync. [ here ]

Enter you google account details, followed by a password / PIN that needs to be used on both the machines. And vola you are ready to go !

The first time it took a bit of time to get it synced..
But then again.. it works.. like a charm..

Have fun..
