While the Tablet PC world may still be considered a niche space, there are some really interesting applications
that have been developed for tablets that cross boundries into the mundane computing world. One of these is
Agilix's
GoBinder. Agilix has just released a radically updated version of
its note-taking, file storing, PIM capable flagship product. Designed primarily for the college student (it has
integration into the Blackboard course system used by many universities), GoBinder is a heck of a tool for all types of
packrats and copious note-takers. GoBinder 2006 takes a very strong inking capability, and expands it by building,
from ground up, a totally new architecture. This new architecture is designed for users to trade notes and forms
through a WebDav syncing capability. That means those of you who are still in college, and may skip a class or
two, you can have notes from your friends synched right into your GoBinder. In addition to that, the Calendar,
Contacts, and Tasks capabilities get a major overhaul with this release. You don't need to own a Tablet PC to
take full advantage of this great application, as its features are great for anyone looking for a place to keep all
their notes and stuff. You can download a trial
here; it will set
a student back $49.95 and for the rest of us, it costs $99.95.
EverNote is the note-taking program we have featured here on Download Squad a few times before. It can be compared to OneNote from Microsoft in some ways. EverNote's approach is a bit more simplistic, but still very usable and has good integration with Firefox and Outlook. The EverNote 1.5 beta is available for a free 60 day trial, after which the program costs $34.95. The program will revert to the permanent free version of EverNote if it is not purchased. This new beta has better Outlook (even with 2007 beta) and Thunderbird integration, with the ability to sync your EverNote databases with your USB flash drive. Just a few hours using EverNote 1.5, and I am already thinking about buying it. It is great to be able to take all my notes and then sync them to my flash drive and take them with me.
It's
no secret that the point at which a printer tells you your $40 ink cartridge is empty (and prompty stops letting you
print anything) has little relation to when it's actually empty, especially if you've refilled it yourself, and in the
spirit of letting you get the most out of the fortune you're spending on ink, here's some tips for Epson and HP owners:
So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do.
Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game.
The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
