NetworkClean review

Wednesday, May 16, 2012

Facebook is a lot of fun...until you realize that much of the information posted there could be found by someone you might not want to see it. Like your boss, or potential boss. Your mother, or your potential mother-in-law. Ever wonder how your Facebook page might make you look to someone else? NetworkClean can show you: This free service scans and monitors your Facebook account, alerting you to any problems lurking there.

Impress.js review

Thursday, April 19, 2012

Presentations sometimes feel like the bane of the business community. They are notoriously difficult to prepare, and delivering a presentation to a packed room is a challenge in itself. Even after you've got the content down, there remains the matter of actually creating something you can show other people while you talk. Impress.JS is a free JavaScript library that skilled web developers can use to create presentations that run in a browser and look nothing like PowerPoint. Instead of moving through slides, you fly over a large map of concepts, zooming and shifting between them.

Merlin 2.8 review

Friday, March 23, 2012

In my review of OmniGroup’s OmniPlan 2.0.3, many readers asked about ProjectWizards’ Merlin 2. Like OmniPlan, Merlin 2.8 is a versatile project management application that should help you power through any project large or small. But Merlin 2 goes beyond the call, offering you numerous options for putting your project plan into the hands of everyone you work with and helping you make sure the project gets completed on time.

Wednesday, February 29, 2012

It lacks flair perhaps but Windows Phone turns the Lumia 710 into an attractive device. Can it really take on Android and the iPhone?

H&R Block At Home review

Wednesday, February 22, 2012

For the last several years my wife and I have relied on tax professionals to handle our yearly tax prep. We do this not because our tax returns are overly complicated, but because of a particularly stupid and obvious tax mistake several years ago (no, you cannot claim both mileage and expenses on a vehicle when you own a business). We had the “pleasure” of an IRS audit. We made an honest mistake, but it was not an experience that we found all that enjoyable. A tax professional offered the benefit of someone far smarter than us who was able to make sure we got every tax benefit without the obvious downside of accidentally taking more tax credits than we were due. What I’ve noticed more recently, though, is that the professionals who used to take my year-end paperwork and enter it by hand were now using tax prep programs similar to H&R Block At Home to complete my taxes. Suddenly, those $300 tax prep sessions seemed less valuable.

Break Time review

Wednesday, December 14, 2011

A number of recent scientific studies have suggested that spending too much time sitting down—for example, while working at your computer—is bad for you. While some of my colleagues have resorted to extreme measures to avoid too much sitting time, I’m the kind of guy who prefers a minimally invasive - and minimally expensive - option. Thus, I turned to Excited Pixel’s $5 BreakTime (Mac App Store link).

Truphone v4.0 VoIP-over-mobile

Sunday, July 6, 2008

Here's an interesting idea. Millions of people make VoIP phone calls over the Internet from their PCs, or using special handsets, so why not do the same thing with a humble mobile phone? Truphone is one such application.

RescueTime review

Here's a question most of us can probably answer, at least approximately: How many hours do you spend in front of your computer every week? But here's a trickier one: How much of that time do you spend doing productive work, and how much of it do you spend watching cat videos? RescueTime ($9 per month) is an online service that tries to answer this question, and sometimes even succeeds. read more...
