Unless you are in my industry you probably haven’t paid a whole lot of attention to Microsoft Office 2010. In fact since it is not officially released to the public yet, I would be willing to venture it isn’t on many of your “must look at” lists. As a Microsoft partner Dataworks is able to get early final release copies of software and I have been testing the RTM of Office 2010 for a few days now. This review is about the changes to Outlook, and I will post more about the changes to the rest of the platform in future posts.

There has been a lot of buzz in the news about Google’s Android phones and with good reason. For years the iPhone has been the “product to beat”. The iPhone has become most popular for its apps and I have to admit that the number of apps are impressive. However the iPhone has a key flaw that has kept me from owning one…it is only available with AT&T. Now I know that there are alot of people that love AT&T and so I am sure there will be some disagreements from those who have iPhones but I think the new Android has the potential to not only beat the iPhone but overtake Blackberry as the new standard in business mobility.

If you are like most people you have tried to surround yourself with ways to make life simpler, easier and more productive. In your business you probably have a server or a computer to help make your business run more efficiently, a backup program to preserve your critical data, SPAM filters to keep out harmful and time wasting emails and loads more technology. All of which was purchased with the intent of making things better and yet there is somehow a sneaking suspicion that for all of this technology, you aren’t as streamlined or productive as you could and ought to be.

Let me start by saying this, I am not going to bash all Apple products. I am not anti-Apple but I do have to admit that the release of the new Apple iPad has me scratching my head. When I first heard the concept of a what was then referred to as the Apple Tablet, I was very intrigued. I had envisioned a tablet type device that was essentially Mac OS-X in a slim, sleek and highly portable device. Instead all Apple has managed to do with this release is place the iPod Touch on a copier and enlarge it.

I got an email tonight that made me very curious and very angry. I can not think of many times when I have received phishing attacks but this one is pretty convincing to the untrained eye. The email states that unauthorized access to my PayPal account has occurred and they are locking it down in order to prevent theft. The first thing anyone thinks about with this kind of message is “oh my gosh, I’ve been hacked”.
