How many of you have received a green envelope from "Compliance Services" reminding you to file annual minutes? This is a fraud attempt.

"Annual Minutes are not to be confused with Annual Reports. You are not required to file "Annual Minutes" with any agency; they are to be kept by the business entity itself. Please be aware that notices are being mailed to business entities requesting that "Annual Minutes" and a fee of $125.00 be returned for filing. These notices are NOT from the Dept. of State, Division of Corporations, or any other state or federal agency." - Sunbiz.org

Don't assume because you use Gmail (Hotmail, AOL, etc) you don't need to backup your emails. Can you imagine losing all your stuff?

Google, we have a problem. About 150,000 Gmail account holders woke up to a nightmare this morning -- all their e-mail was gone.

Well, the first downfall is that you have to have Windows 7 or above to download it. As of April 2010, 64% of the market still belonged to Windows XP...that's a lot of computers Microsoft is leaving out. Doesn't make sense to me if they're trying to GAIN market share over Chrome and Firefox.

Microsoft is pulling out all the stops to mark the launch of the open beta for Internet Explorer 9, a web browser the company promises will “beautify the web.”

Have you ever needed a file on a computer that's at home? Or wanted to share a video with a family member, only to find out the file is too big to send? Enter Dropbox? Dropbox gives you 2GB of free storage for File Syncing, File Sharing, Online Backup or Web Access to files. I needed a few large files from a client in Minnesota today. Instead of having a flash drive sent to me (3 days), I directed him to a shared folder in my Dropbox account where he uploaded them and I had them in under 10 minutes. Efficiency at it's best!

Dropbox is the easiest way to store, sync, and, share files online. There's no complicated interface to learn. Dropbox works seamlessly with your operating system and automatically makes sure your files are up-to-date. Available for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

Yesterday, Microsoft opened a few of their apps (Word, Excel, Powerpoint and One Note) up for free via Office Web Apps. Have you ever been at a machine that didn't have Office? How about a version mismatch? This could be your answer. Go to www.live.com to create an account or log into your Hotmail or MSN account and click Office at the top. Let me know if you have any questions. 25GB of free space. Nice!

In a move that seems like a challenge to Google’s suite of web-based office tools, Microsoft is opening some of its Office programs — including PowerPoint, Word and Excel — to the web.
