I just finished taking a Microsoft survey that alerted me to a few Office resource sites that I wasn’t directly aware of prior to the survey. Also included on the list are options for Office-like applications and other business productivity applications as well. Sun Star Office Adobe Acrobat IBM: Lotus SmartSuite OfficeZealot.com OpenOffice.org Microsoft.com Microsoft [...]
So, you think you know Windows?
07/07/2006 By
If you’re like me, you’ve been using Windows since it was 3.1. You were amazed at the difference between 3.1 and 95, 98 was your average upgrade, you never really understood Me, and XP has been a pretty great ride. If I am correct, and you are like that, then you’re probably really looking forward [...]

Running Programs Info
07/06/2006 By
If you’ve been a Windows user for very long, I’m sure you’ve had those times where you’ve looked at your running processes and wondered just what the heck is csrss.exe is. Have no fear, there’s a website that will tell you all the information you need to know about those programs running processes under the [...]
ActiveSync 4.2
07/06/2006 By
Microsoft has released a new version of ActiveSync. This one is 4.2 and should take care of many of the problems with the 85010014 errors many of us have been dealing with. I’m currently looking at my ActiveSync 4.2.0 (Build 4855) BETA install for my PPC-6700. Looks like this is the final, non-beta version. Thanks [...]
I Love TiVo, that’s why I hated to cancel
07/06/2006 By
I absolutely love my TiVo, but it came to the point where we just need to cancel the $12.95/mnth service from our budget. Since I got the larger storage, dual-tuner HD DVR from Comcast, we just didn’t use the TiVo as much anymore. That’s sad, because the TiVo interface far exceeds that of the Comcast [...]
It’s A Smiley War
07/06/2006 By
Hopefully I can stay under the proverbial radar on this one. A trademark dispute is heating up between a European company called SmileyWorld and Wal-Mart over rights to use the familiar smiley-face logo. SmileyWorld registered its trademark in France in 1971, but that may not carry much water here in the U.S., where Wal-Mart has [...]
Another Online Storage Service
07/04/2006 By
With all the talk about Web 2.0, having another place to store a significant stack of data online is still needed. Streamload.com could be just the place you’ve been looking for to serve that need. You can store 25GB of data online for free. That’s right! 25GB for free. From their homepage they tout the [...]
Now serving…
07/03/2006 By
For everyone as excited as I am about the final release of Office 2007, we’re going to have to wait a little longer. Microsoft announced that we’ll be waiting until early next year instead of later this fall for the next version of Office. I don’t fault Microsoft for this, they’re stating that with the [...]
Introductions – I'm Jason Bean and I'll be your host
07/02/2006 By
Greetings everyone! As you know, Aaron has stepped down from his position as blogger for Emerging Earth and has graciously agreed to allow me to step in and attempt to fill his shoes. I’m not sure that’s going to happen, I’m walking on size 13′s and he really knows his technology. I on the other [...]
