Galloping into the scene on its shining, white horse, Google has finally struck back at the privacy advocates that got just a little riled up by Google CEO Eric Schmidt's outburst last week. And it takes the form... of a presentation! Yes, in classic, classy, we're-as-transparent-as-a-pane-of-glass-covered-in-morning-dew understatement, Google has prepared a lovely set of slides that outline ...

I've been running TeamViewer as my go-to remote support app for a couple years now, and I don't see myself switching any time soon. It's fast, requires no configuration, and the additions of the Flash-based web viewer and partner list in version 4 were solid upgrades to an already good app. Version 5 is now ready for beta testing, and it looks like Teamviewer is once again set for some solid new ...

This is a great compliment to existing drop.io services, conference.io and phone.io. The service is really easy to use. You create a drop (or add a presentation to an existing drop), upload the files you want ...

The first thing you'll probably notice about the new web-based presentation creator, 280Slides, is that it looks an awful lot like Apple's Keynote. As great as Keynote is, 280Slides has a few advantages: it's free and it's web-based. It's got all the features you would expect from good presentation software: you can present in full-screen mode straight from the web, download your slides, or ...

Google announced at the end of April that they had acquired a Swedish company called Marratech. We all expected that they would eventually add that into the Google Pack, Google Apps or at least into Google Talk. Marratech is a downloadable application for PC's and Mac's that apparently Google has no plans to develop. A tipster wrote into Andy Beal and and forwarded a link to the Marratech forums, ...
