For the most part, the various Office apps make it easy to meet these needs. But certain tasks just don’t come up often enough for me to keep them in my head. (Yes, I’m blaming the tasks here.) Excel is a good example. I use it every day, but I seldom need to do more than enter data or a simple formula. So when a job requires … Read entire article »

The pros and cons of the Verizon Droid
The pros and cons of the Verizon Droid Jason Hiner: One of the most widely hyped technology products of 2009 is the Verizon Droid smartphone, the first device to use the new Google Android 2.0 platform, which offers much tighter integration with Microsoft Exchange. I’m Jason Hiner, and this week on CIO Sanity Savers, we’ll look at the Verizon Droid, from a business and IT perspective. We’ll talk about the pros and cons of the device and where it fits in for business. Stick around. I’ve been a pretty outspoken critic of the first generation Google Android platform.

True, the situation has been well prepared on and off for the past century, especially the past twenty years. The initial testing grounds was conducted upon our Holy Russia and a bloody test it was. But we Russians would not just roll over and give up our freedoms and our souls, no matter how much money Wall Street … Read entire article »

Friendfeed sells out to facebook for $50 Million!
facebook recently announced that it had acquired FriendFeed for $50 million dollars. This seems like a good fit considering that facebook has replicated some of the functions in Friendfeed such as the “like” feature. The main benefit to facebook is not so much friendfeed but the people behind it. Paul Buchheit, who is responsible for creating Gmail, pioneering some of Google’s early (and incredibly lucrative) advertising products, and coining Google’s “Don’t be evil” motto. Other ex-Googler co-founders include Bret Taylor, Jim Norris, and Sanjeev Singh. The acquisition composed of $15 million in cash and the rest in stock options.
