WordPerfect to support ODF and Open XML

corel wordperfectDo we still care about Corel's WordPerfect? Is there anyone out there that actually still uses it? Maybe I'm wrong but even people that have no idea about software still tend to use MS Word. Dell did at one time did bundle the app with some of their systems, but not any more. Anyway, Corel might trying to generate some buzz as they will be adding support for Open Document Format as well as Microsoft's Open XML to WordPerfect, starting sometime in mid-2007. Corel is not disclosing any other developments that might be built into the next version of the software, but says it will keep the public up-to-date on their plans. Is WordPerfect on a move to become a player again in the Office arena? They did announce that Firefox bundling will be coming down the pipes. Hmmm..

Corel is teaming up with Mozilla

corel ships with firefoxIn the wake of the news that Adobe is donating code to Mozilla, news broke yesterday of Corel hooking up with Mozilla. This time though, we will see Firefox bundled with some software instead: Corel will be packaging their WordPerfect Office X3 Home Edition 2007 with Firefox. The new package will include a word processor, spreadsheets, CD/DVD burning, and photo and video applications, as well as Norton security features. But will people be happy and willing to use it? This package from Corel usually sits at $79 retail. This smooth move from Corel is sure to get their brand buzzing again.

Corel Corp. just hit the news again with their recent acquisition of the makes of WinDVD, InterVideo, in a rumored $196 million deal. Corel is best known for their WordPerfect software which is up against Microsoft's Office, and Corel Draw and Paint Shop pro pitted against Adobe's products. Will Corel ever hit the top of the software food chain? Most likely not, but they do offer some interesting alternatives.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

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, ...
