Mozilla is expanding beyond its Firefox browser and trying its hand in the suddenly hot streaming video business.

Its take: the MatchStick HDMI streaming stick, which will sell for a limited time through Kickstarter at a starting price of $12 before it goes to retail. It's final price of $25 sets its sights on the Chromecast, the $35 streaming dongle from search giant Google. Matchstick runs on Firefox OS, the open source mobile operating system built by Mozilla on Firefox's underlying engine.

Mozilla has a keen interest in being known for more than just an Internet browser. The nonprofit Web advocacy organization receives a vast majority of its funding from Google, which also offers a competing browser in Chrome. Over the last two years, Mozilla has diversified into smartphones with its Firefox OS and now Matchstock in the hopes of getting support for open Web standards into more devices and more hands.

However, the Matchstick enters an already competitive field. Beyond the Chromecast, the streaming media space is crowded with Amazon's Fire TV, and market leaders Apple TV and Roku, all of which have long since secured the kinds of content partnerships such as Netflix and Hulu essential to the success of any entrant in the field. While Matchstick is promising to have them by its January launch, it doesn't appear to have secured them yet.

Microsoft is offering users who backup their photos to OneDrive the opportunity to double their free online storage for a limited time. From now until the end of September, users can claim 30GB of space for saving twice as many photos in the cloud.

All you have to do is sign up for OneDrive and activate the auto upload feature for your camera roll sometime between now and the end of September, and you will get 30 GB of free OneDrive storage moving forward (15 GB base and 15 GB camera roll bonus).”

Microsoft is marketing the offer at iPhone users who are upgrading to iOS 8 or purchasing a new iPhone 6 or iPhone 6 Plus, but the extra space can be claimed by Android and Windows Phone users, too. Just remember that you must sign up before the end of September, otherwise you’re going to miss out on the 15GB bonus.

By backing up your photos and videos to an online storage service like OneDrive, you can enjoy them at any time and on almost any device without having to store them locally. That’s why a service like OneDrive is essential for users with entry-level and midrange devices that don’t offer a lot of internal storage — or 16GB iPhone users that don’t have the pleasure of a microSD card slot.
By storing your photos and videos in the cloud, you can save local storage space and have more room for apps, music, movies, and more. It also means that if your handset is lost or stolen and you never get it back, you haven’t lost your precious memories.
