I use the MobileMe service from Apple. The 20 Gb iDisk is enough for syncing files between my several computers. It's mounted on the desktop of my various Macs and with the iDisk's cache, copying files is instantaneous and I can work on my files while offline. When I get back to an internet connection, it syncs. I can also access my iDisks using the webinterface or mount the iDisk in WebDAV on Windows. Also MobileMe Sync my iPhone and my computers Calendars, Address Book, Keychains, Bookmarks, Dashboard Widgets, Dock Items, Mail Accounts, rules, signatures, smart mailboxes, Notes, Preferences (including serial numbers) and FTP favorites. I can use the me.com website to access my adress book, calendars, files and emails from any web browser. Configuration is very simple (login, password, thick a checkbox) and require no software install.

Companies Using MS Word "Out of Habit," Says Forrester 367

Posted by timothy on Monday January 12, 2009 @09:08AM from the mostly-mythical-training-costs dept.

An anonymous reader writes "A Forrester Research report has found that companies use Microsoft Word for word processing out of habit rather than necessity and are beginning to consider other alternatives as the Web has changed the way people create and share documents. The report, "Breaking Up Is Hard To Do: The Microsoft Word Love Story," by analyst Sheri McLeish, suggests that businesses may still be using Word because it is familiar to users or because they have a legacy investment in the application, not because it is the best option." Microsoft surely knows that some other options are creeping slowly into the view of even the most Word-centric users, though. User I dream about smoking writes "Microsoft is testing new capabilities for Office Live Workspace, its online adjunct to Microsoft Office, that will make it a closer rival to online application suites such as Google Docs. Microsoft will start beta testing an updated version of Live Workspace later this year that allows users to create and edit new documents online."

jcatcw writes: Wikis, social networks, and other Web 2.0 technologies are finding resistence inside companies from the very people who should be rolling them out: the IT staff. The National Endowment for Science, Technology and the Arts (NESTA) in London had to bypass IT to get Web 2.0 technologies to end users. Both Morgan Stanley and Pfizer are rolling out Web 2.0 projects, but it took some grass roots organizing to get there.
