Google hopes so, because the only thing different about Gmail in its post-beta reality is that the Gmail logo no longer says "be...
This is what I like to call a win-win. First, a recent study found that workers who trade instant messages with their bosses are more productive than those who don't. Second, it's proof positive that Dave lost yet another debate. In case you missed that one, Dave argued that instant messaging was...
Annoying e-mail is one of my personal pet peeves. And I get plenty of them -- enough, probably, to write a regular Dear Duke of E-mail Etiquette column. For now, though, here are five of my biggest gripes with people who click send without thinking. Always use descriptive subject lines. Blank...

A few months back, Dave showed you how to use Excel pivot tables to better visualize your spreadsheet data. (If you missed the post, be sure to check it out -- it has video!)

I need to scan and convert text from printed documents about, oh, about once per leap year. So it makes no sense for me to own a scanner or waste hard disk space with OCR software that I virtually never use.

I don't know about you, but we spent the better part of last week listening to Thriller, seeing if we could still moonwalk (Dave's surprisingly good at it), and feeling really old.

If you believe Rick, Twitter is an awesome and powerful marketing tool. I think it's a pointless waste of time. If you are more Rick than Dave, then you might be interested in this Twitter-to-English dictionary. I was actually kind of jazzed to run across this, because while some of the terms are...
If you've had your eye on the Palm Pre, you probably know that the awkwardly named handset has access to the whole library of classic Palm OS apps thanks to Classic, a Palm OS emulator from Motion Apps.
