Google Docs Update: Toolbar UI Added
I logged into my Google Docs and Spreadsheets site and opened a document to discover they had updated the UI to include a new toolbar along the top. Very nice! Small, and arguably trivial, but it is a nice touch and long overdue in my book. This is the...
Circuitous Thoughts on Mobile versus Data Center Computing

SkyDrive Hands-On Review
I got the official word that the Microsoft Live Team had released SkyDrive from the shackles of beta testing. I decided not only to check it out, but dive in head first and beat it up good to see how it handles my abuse. From a purely conceptual aspect...
