You may have missed it, but Microsoft has been running a beta of their own online office suite, called Office 365, for the last year. Yesterday, it officially lost the beta tag. There are some great features, but here’s the catch – unlike Google Docs, you pay for Office 365. To be honest, my first […]
Do you love Google? Google sure hopes you do. Although it hasn’t been announced anywhere, go to www.wdyl.com or google.com/whatdoyoulove, type in a search string, and it creates a sort of mini-portal where it runs the search through every Google product. So, instead of individually having to look up a Google Map, YouTube, Trend, and photo album […]
Voice of Objectivity is an ongoing column meant to temper the tendency of the Techcited to run away with the most exciting or controversial ideas in technology’s near future.

For those with any sort of interest in the HR business, the name […]
Yesterday saw the launch of the brand new startup PriceAdvice, which has a unique twist on the concept of deal hunting. Not only does the self-proclaimed “virtual blue book” site give you an overview of what the typical price range is on the device you’re looking for by combining information from a variety of different […]
Yesterday, the Mozilla Project folks began pushing Firefox 5 out as an automatic update to Firefox 4 users. The first thing that ran through my mind, and surely many others’ minds too, was “Huh? Why are they upgrading me to an entirely new release via their auto-updater?” Traditionally, if you ran Firefox, you would never […]
I’m a big fan of file syncing service SugarSync. The 5 GB of free online storage had me happy from day one. Being able to easily send files of any size to others via email, even if they don’t use the service, has been invaluable. And the fact that, unlike competitor Dropbox, SugarSync allows me […]
Twitter has announced on their blog a brand new Follow Button. Instead of the square button we’re all used to seeing with a simple link to a user’s Twitter page, Twitter will serve up a chicklet that leads to a special page with the user’s last few tweets, along with a brief list of followers […]
