Looking for a slick way to share documents and allow collaborators to add annotations? Check out Crocodoc, which has launched a plug-in free document viewer powered by the standard Web code we both love and hate to refer to as HTML5. Just like competitor Scribd, files you upload to Crocodoc can be easily embedded on any site (check out a demo after the break). Readers can also post comments ...

There are all sorts of compelling reasons to try an alternative PDF reader, security not being the least. Adobe Reader is also quite stingy with its functionality – you can't even annotate PDFs. Nitro PDF Reader is an alternative reader with a modern-looking interface, and it offers generous annotation options. Unlike Foxit Reader, Nitro doesn't appear to watermark your PDF when you ...

In a huge leap forward for Google Docs, your docs are now viewable in mobile browsers. This is a pretty big deal, because it means there's now a way to view Docs, DocX files, PDFs and more on your iPhone, iPad or Android device without installing an app. A lot of people who didn't have a use for Google Docs before just found a reason to sign up for an account. On iOS devices, you can pinch and ...

Ah, viewers! Whether you love the fact that they exist, or hate the fact that we live in a world that necessitates them, file viewers are a vital part of any computer user's tool kit. The number of times I've seen sent a Microsoft Word file and not been able to open it... ugh! Fortunately I have Photoshop, but I'm sure there are lots of people out there that don't -- that's where PSD Viewer ...

When I translate, I often use huge files for reference; these are glossaries and consistency tables that stretch on for hundreds, and sometimes thousands, of pages. Loading these files in a normal copy of Word puts a major dent in system performance. Word keeps trying to auto-save them or spell check them, and it simply freezes on every attempt, while I sit there and twiddle my thumbs. My ...

Streaming video has been around for a while on the iPhone, with players like Ustream and Qik launching apps that allow you to, both, view and broadcast live video. With its new iPhone app, Justin.tv is just about the last live streaming service to make the jump to mobile. The thing is, it hasn't caught up to Ustream and Qik yet: you can only use it to watch, not broadcast, your own video. Both ...

Box.net, a very useful online storage provider, just got a heck of a lot more useful. Box is introducing a Flash-based viewer that will allow you to preview media files hosted on the service. It's not just mp3s and photos, although those are included, too. You'll be able to view Photoshop PSD files, code snippets, Flash videos, Microsoft Office files and more. Box scored this new viewer from ...

Android users have been able to broadcast video to Ustream.tv for a couple of months now, but there was no way to watch Ustream shows on your Android phone until now. Ustream Viewer has just hit the Android Market, allowing for free, unlimited on-the-go viewing of the popular video site. Ustream Viewer will work over either wi-fi or 3G. The iPhone version of Ustream Viewer has been around since ...

Have you ever lost information on your hard drive, especially photos, or maybe even accidentally deleted all the files on your camera memory card? Harsh stuff. Especially since many people don't even bother to print out, or backup digital photos now. That could be the reason why ProtectMyPhotos started up. It's a way to securely, and automatically backup digital photos. So, if anything ever ...
