PDF files are great because you don't have to worry about the formatting of your document getting lost in translation when you send it to someone else. The only problem is that they're notoriously tough to edit. Nitro's new web-based PDF to Excel converter solves at least part of the problem. If you've got a PDF with tables, and you want to do more than view them, then this is for you.Filed under: Utilities, Video, Macintosh

So you're in love with your Kindle, but you wish you had a way to view PDF or HTML files on it? A quick run through Auto Kindle, and they're painlessly converted to the reader's native .mobi format.Filed under: Utilities, Troubleshooting, Web
Ever see an icon you like, but when you go to download it, you find out it's in the wrong format? You could copy and paste it into an image editor, and save it in the correct format, but some editors don't save .icns, .ico, or other popular icon types. iConvert does, though, and it's web-based. It also works with Windows, Mac and Linux-compatible formats.Filed under: Internet, Video, Web services, web 2.0

For those looking to convert a Word document to a PDF file, there are a large number of solutions out there. But how about vice versa? There haven't been many programs brave enough to try and convert a PDF to a Word document. Filed under: Text, Utilities, Mobile Minute

Need to create a PDF file? Don't want to bother downloading/buying/installing software to make PDFs, or stuck at a library or internet kiosk where you can't? Enter PDF Online. It's a free service that will convert (almost) any document you upload into a PDF file. It supports lots of file formats, including most Office documents (e.g. Word/DOC, Excel/XLS, PowerPoint/PPT), plus HTML and plain text files, and the most common image formats including JPEG, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and PNG. All you have to do is upload your document with the PDF Online web form and enter your email address, and the PDF will be emailed to you. I tried it with an Excel file and I received the PDF in less than 30 seconds. The PDF looked good and even my Excel charts were displayed correctly. If you're feeling advanced you can also tweak a few options, like font embedding, security and watermarks, and image resolution and compression.Filed under: Utilities, Windows, Macintosh, Linux, Productivity, Mozilla, Freeware, Browser Tips

A few weeks ago I was thinking to myself, wouldn't it be great if my web browser automatically converted currency on foreign web sites to U.S. dollars? I thought briefly about trying to hack something together with Greasemonkey, but in the end I was too lazy, which is just as well because of course someone has already done it for me, though not with Greasemonkey. ViewMyCurrency is a Firefox extension and it does just what I've described: it automatically converts currency on foreign web sites to your local currency. If you want to see it in action, its developer has created a short screencast demo, or you can just download it. It works as advertised, with the particular caveat that currently it assumes all amounts preceded by a plain $ are U.S. dollars. Otherwise, though, this is supremely useful.

Speaking of ripping DVDs, Tyler Loch, creator of iPod video converter iSquint, has released a Mac utility called HandBrake Lite which he describes as "a horribly-mangled abomination of HandBrake, jettisoning its non-crucial features with the one-track goal of creating iPod-sized movies from DVDs." The original HandBrake was a general-purpose open source DVD-to-MPEG4 converter, but Loch touts HandBrake Lite as having "less stuff to read, and fewer confusing words" and claims it will rip a DVD to an iPod-friendly format in only two clicks. In its very short FAQ Loch writes, "HandBrake Lite is done. I can't add any features because I don't know how to write Obj-C code; only blind mangling of existing code. It's a miracle this even works at all." But if it works, it works, right?
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, ...
