Evernote

"Evernote allows you to easily capture information in any environment using whatever device or platform you find most convenient, and makes this information accessible and searchable at any time, from anywhere."

Use plain text, images, clippings from the web, or attach pdf's. Evernote lets you tag every note giving it context or categories. You can then search your information very easily via keywords or tags including the contents of your pdf's. Additionally, Evernote does some OCR on the server side, allowing you to also search the text in the hand written notes you scan in.

Dropbox: Simple file syncing

Simply put, Dropbox gives you the ability to keep your desktop files synced with “the cloud”, and your other computers. Think of it as online data storage(backup), file sharing, and file synchronization, in a simple no fuss implementation.

A folder created by the Dropbox installation exists on your computer(s) to handle all the heavy lifting.

• Anything you place into this folder will be uploaded to your account's online drive (accessible from any web browser) and synced between all of your computers via the Dropbox client.
• You can share a folder with your Dropbox friends, and everything you drop into that folder will be synced between both accounts.
• Drop a file in your Public folder, and you can share it with anyone.
• Placing photos in the Photos folder, creates a web gallery for you.
• Most important, Dropbox provides file versioning. So if you delete a file by accident? Dropbox can restore it for you.
