i'll pass.. i don't have use for a spreadsheet in which i can't put potentially sensitive data - and i wouldn't risk some advertisor taking the contents of my business letter for spam. Live web aplications are the next generation computing platform, and google is certainly rolling out a wide berth of applications ( when do we see the Google Internet OS? ). However, I've been using the Office Live beta all summer, and it's been a great way t

I believe in microsoft's stand that this is a level playing field. No one has access to the core, even their own security products. It has always been my opinion that they have a right to build whatever they want in to their own platform in an effort to have a better product. Survival of the Fittest. Symantec needs to evolve and move on. That is, assuming microsoft can repair the existing holes - the concern of the other security companies.

since going public, Googles financial board, and its investors, have cautioned the two young, ambitious owners about their spending. Google spends a LOT of money on researching new technologies, must of it turning out wasteful. But then, Googles two young spearheads are not looking out for their buck - they're looking out for the evolution of internet technology. They see something, they try it. If it fails it fails, if it succedes, great! They're havi

I've noticed something, however. Microsoft may have its gobble up tactics, and a big reach which it can use to sway technologies - but they havn't resorted to childish games. I've never seen them do such a thing ( well i'm sure they just CAN'T ! - they'd get slapped with a zillion law suites ). They don't NEED the press, they don't need to defend themselves, they'll let their products speak for themselves. Soemthing that i've noticed amoung

you guys are missing a big score with the apple ads and philosophy..: the fan boys. how many of us, as children, joined in the ridiculing of someone else just so you could fit in with the crowd? i was always an under dog, and even i found someone else to make fun of 'cause i thought i was cool. There are a lot of people out there who will jump on board with mac because of how cool they think the ads are, and from seeing how easy it is to rip

in keeping with the google philosophy of sharing information, i'd like to see them have an engine that searches for music across all digital stores. This crosses a lot of boundaries, though, and i don't see it being easy to do.

i'm suprised it took them so long to get started on this. Dvd players have been capable of this for a long time, and you have the opportunity to provide really high resolution music in multiple channels. So why the wait? their first attempt to retain cd customers from going digital was to improve album art and include extras on cds. well how able adding more video, or higher def sound? if more bands put out sets like the Tool box set, this would have b

i used to keep my program files on one drive and the docs on another but it wasn't so easy to back up.. not with windows' own backup. i simplified.. one large c drive to hold program files and my documents ( active projects, music, video, docs )... d drive is for swap files, cache files, virtual memory. e is a usb external, holds one care synced 'my documents'. f is my project archive drive, another usb external. i have another usb external

i don't believe that you can lump government eves dropping with software verification.. i took some time to read through the Microsoft Verification Privacy statements, with their certifications from different security groups, etc. It's verified not to identify you or collect unneccesary information. I also believe as a software maker who loses millions on people pirating their software ( and it's irrelevant how large their profits are, regardless ), a

It's been one of the worst companies to buy a computer with in the past, yet people are dumb enough to still buy them. My, my. Unless you've got some good stories of your own, you should take your hands off the keyboard 'cause i don't think you know what you're talkin about. I'm at the end

It's working for them. Several of my friends have had to toss out their pirated software and look for legal alternatives, because they couldn't get important updates, tools, templates, etc. Adamness, in our company most of the employees use 5% of what MS word is capable of.. they also use 5% of what their pentium 4's are capable of. But the type of business we do, and the need to have complex tables, calculations, etc, shared betw
