05.27.06Word 2007 Blogging Problems - I’m Not AloneIt seems that I'm not alone in my problems blogging with the Word 2007 Beta, detailed here. Ed Bott, in a post about a free AV for Vista beta testers, notes that when he tries to publish from Word 2007 to his Wordpress blog his posts seem to disappear into the ether. I don't believe that this is a problem with posts disappearing, just that they are getting a post date of far into the past - in my case, it was December 1969. For everyone having trouble posting from Word 2007 to a Wordpress blog, fire up your admin console ...

05.26.06Office 2007 ImpressionsAlong with over 200,000 other people, I downloaded the Microsoft Office 2007 Beta 2 when it was released to the public the other day. In my job, I basically live in Word and Outlook, and as such was hesitant to install beta versions of these products. Nonetheless, I bit the bullet and did it, and overall my experience has been fairly good. Read more after the jump. Continue Reading...

05.20.06Brand Battling in the Mobile WorldIt seems that, at least in the mid- to high-end handset space, the battle for market share will not be fought with features alone - but with marketing alliances. It has started already, with the recent co-branding efforts that Nokia and Sony Ericsson have undertaken. Sony Ericsson led the way through the Walkman line of music handsets, and more recently with the Cyber-shot branded K800i. The Cyber-shot branding, it seems, was in response to Nokia's Carl Zeiss alliance. This camera branding is a perfect example of how important recognition is in the marketplace. The Sony Ericsson K750 was, in most tests we carried ...

05.09.06CeBIT AustraliaI made a visit to CeBIT in Sydney today, and despite the small size of the show, it was rather entertaining. For those in Australia that care about such matters, the Sony Ericsson P990 and Nokia E61 smartphones will be available on Vodafone very soon. Sagem also had a nice showing, which is great, as I have not seen much from them in a while. You can check out my Flickr set of photos from the show floor right here, including hands on photos with the E61 and other handsets. Next up for me is Communicasia in Singapore next month. If there ...

05.04.06Microsoft Expression Web Designer BetaI was invited to the Expression Web Designer (the much needed replacement for the terrible Microsoft Front Page) beta today, and so far my impression of the beast is not good. And it hasn't even finished installing yet. After downloading the 250-odd megabyte install file and double-clicking like a trained Microsoft monkey (think Robert Scoble), the installer prompted me if I really wanted to proceed, then extracted the setup files, and promptly launched a progress dialog of the install. While I can understand that Microsoft may want to simplify the install process, there are absolutely no options related to the install. I ...
