Adobe has launched Acrobat.com , a free collaboration service now in beta. On the site, you can store up to 5GB of files, create documents with the Buzzword online word processor, share documents either with the world or with specified email addresses (the recipient must sign in with an Adobe account), and convert documents to PDF online. The PDF conversion is a trial limited to 5 documents, unless you subscribe to an online service , or buy Acrobat 9 and convert on the desktop (of course, there are plenty of other ways to convert to PDF these days). There is also an online conferencing application called Connect Now, which you can use for meetings with up to two other participants.
Connect Now is brilliant; I’m now yet convinced by the other services. Don’t get me wrong; 5GB of free online space is a fantastic offer, though it happens to be the same as Microsoft offers in Skydrive . However, everything is implemented in Flash, and this can be annoying...

Welcome to FastCall411, a faster, better way for consumers to find businesses immediately.Throughout the history of local search – starting with phone books and ending with online local directories – consumers have always had to do the ‘heavy lifting’ of creating the list, calling multiple businesses, suffering through disconnected numbers, leaving messages, calling back companies with busy signals or no answers.FastCall411 reinvents this process. Our idea is, “Connect NOW to an availa... more

I was surprised to see that the highly-regarded Rock Band game has been rated only a two-star game by customer reviewers at Amazon.co.uk.
The reason: not the game, but the price. The Band in a Box package , which costs up to £129.00, neglects to include the game itself: buy it separately for up to £49.99.
Amazon’s prices are a little less; but in the USA Amazon.com offers the whole lot for $149.99 (list price $169.99). I’m using the Xbox 360 versions for this e... more
I reported on this in the Guardian . Interesting piece to research. First, the history. You can find the exchange between Karl Roeckx and Ulf Möller here . An unfortunate mistake; I make mistakes too (it was my fault that a name was misspelt in the Guardian piece, for example), so rather than heap blame on individuals I suggest this is more about a problem with the process; the only people making significant changes to the source code of such an critical library should be the committ... more
Big news in the document format wars today. Microsoft is (as far as I can tell) properly supporting ODF in Office . The press release states that both ODF and PDF will be fully integrated into Word, Excel and PowerPoint. This means Save As, not Export; and the possibility of setting ODF as a default save format.
The release adds:
Microsoft will join the Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (OASIS) technical committee working on the next versi... more
Microsoft Access is now thoroughly out of sync with the company’s wider database technology. I’m writing an introductory piece on database applications, and the failure of Access to keep pace with what is happening elsewhere is glaringly apparent.
Let’s look at what database formats Access understands. There is its own native .MDB format, now ACCDB. ACCDB is the updated and incompatible form of MDB introduced in Access 2007. Then there is SQL Server via the Access Data Proj... more
