Google Chrome coming soon to Mac and Linux

January 10, 2009

Feeling left out of the Google Chrome party? I know I am. It’s been out for some time now, but because Google left Mac and Linux users out in the cold, I still haven’t given it a try.
While Firefox is my browser of choice, Chrome sounds like much more than a simple browser. It is [...]

Managing contacts

April 15, 2008

For quite a while now, I have been using Plaxo to manage my contacts. The great advantage of Plaxo is that it syncs with a variety of software—I use it with Outlook (two different copies), Thunderbird (ditto), and Gmail.

Can Zimbra survive a Yahoo-Microsoft merger?

February 5, 2008

Zimbra is a bleeding-edge Web 2.0 project. It is similar to Google Apps, but built with the business and enterprise user in mind. It is also a competitor to Microsoft Exchange, but goes well beyond Exchange’s capabilities.
While there is an open source edition of Zimbra, it was not released under the GNU GPL, but instead [...]

RSS feed readers: web-based or desktop-based?

January 17, 2008

Lifehacker just posted a great pro-and-con review of online RSS feed reader Google Reader versus desktop feed readers like NewsGator’s FeedDemon (PC) and NetNewsWire (Mac).
