Share your screen easily, and for free, with Adobe Creative Suite 4

Windowsby Sebastian Anthony Oct 26th 2009

I noticed this function a while ago when I upgraded to Photoshop CS4 -- I never dared use it, but I did notice it!

Now there's a handy little video from Adobe that shows you exactly how to enable the free screen sharing available to you in their latest suite of tools.

You're probably thinking: Neat! But what can I actually do with it? The first thing that comes to my mind is for businesses that are using an external graphic designer -- want to see their current progress on some work? Want to make sure they're sticking to the draft? Use the screen sharing!

You could also use it for collaboration -- there is chat and video conferencing functionality included. You could suggest changes and watch them occur in real time. I can just see it now... 'No, no, move it a bit to the left. That's it! Up a bit! How about if you make it luminous pink? And the font slightly more interesting... how about Comic Sans?'

Microsoft launches public beta for SharedView

Windowsby Brad Linder May 10th 2007

SharedViewMicrosoft has brought its Tahiti screen sharing program out of private beta and given it a new, more descriptive name: SharedView.

The program lets up to 15 users connect to your computer over the internet and see what's on your screen. You can also grant other users control over your screen, which is useful for collaborating on projects or presentations. You regain control of your screen with a click of your mouse should someone start to get naughty with your PC.

You can also share files, and a future release will include audio, chat, and generally have a good old fashioned office meeting (without the office).

There haven't been many major changes since the initial release, but the new version does feature some interface tweaks. SharedView requires Windows XP or Vista.

Microsoft working on split-screen computer sharing

by Brad Linder May 6th 2007

Split ScreenMicrosoft is working on technology that will allow two people to easily use a single computer at the same time. Basically, the software creates two virtual desktops on one monitor, and allows you to plug in a second mouse and keyboard so that two users can work on the same machine at once.

Sure, those on the bleeding edge of technology would rather have one computer and two monitors all to themselves. But in countries where computer access is limited, this is a great way to get a lot of bang for your buck when buying one PC.

Users can also easily share files between the two desktops just by scrolling their mouse over to the other side of the screen.

Microsoft launches private beta of screen sharing software

Windowsby Brad Linder Mar 29th 2007

TahitiMicrosoft has launched a new program that allows you to share what's on your display with up to 15 other users over the internet. The program, code-named Tahiti is in a private, invitation-only beta at the moment. Here's how it works:

You login using your Windows Live information. Then you can invite users to see applications running on your computer. You can also selectively grant control of those applications, enabling long distance collaboration on projects. If a problem arises, you can click on your mouse or press a button on your keyboard and you regain control.

If you're working on a Word document with other users, Tahiti will track changes and assign a name and color to the changes made by each user.

Tahiti also allows file sharing, so you can send files and documents to other members of your team without using email, FTP or any other external application. Tahiti runs on Windows XP and Vista.

Graveyard Shift - zombie-busting Time Waster

With Halloween fast approaching, it's a great time to get in some practice defending your territory against zombies. In Graveyard Shift, you take aim at zombies and other creepy-crawlies, blasting them into splatters of cartoony green guts. It's a casual first-person shooter, and it's very easy to get the hang of - use the mouse to aim, click to fire. Graveyard Shift has at least 15 levels, and it might even have some secret stages I haven't unlocked yet. They key to getting good at Graveyard Shift is learning to use ...
