For years, I have had one complaint with Microsoft Windows. And that is the fact that the progress bars in Windows never show the right status. The amount of progress shown on the bar is never an indicator of the amount of time remaining versus amount of time taken so far. Ideally, equal amounts of length on the progress bar should represent equal amounts of time.
Google, it seems, can’t crack this either.
Google just released an update to their Sync Utility a couple of days ago. The Google Calendar Sync Utility is a way to synchronize the Google Calendar with MS Outlook. Fans of Google Calendar have been clamoring for such a utility ever since the Google Calendar came on the scene. In the meantime, some people took up the opportunities to create their own utilities to sync between their Outlook and Google Calendars. One such utility is SyncMyCal.
I have used SyncMyCal for almost a year now and have been very happy with it all through this. So, I didn’t feel too bad when Google released their own utility. However, after having a look at the offering from Google it turns out that I would still go ahead and use SyncMyCal in place of Google simply because it offers so much more.
Here is a look at a comparison between the two utilities (picked up from the SyncMyCal site):
This article will compare two popular online Mind Mapping tools: Mindomo and Mindmeister. But before I begin discussion of these tools let me answer the question: What is a mind map?
Wikipedia says that a Mind Map is
a diagram used to represent words, ideas, tasks, or other items linked to and arranged radially around a central keyword and idea.
I use Mind Maps to organize my notes from meetings or to brainstorm. Which brings me to the topic at hand. While there always have been many desktop tools available for creating Mind Maps, lately we see that these offerings are moving online (largely due to advances in technology available for creating online applications).
Let’s dive right into the comparison. Below I compare the services feature by feature:
Microsoft announced launch of Office Live Workspace Beta and immediately there has been comparison over this service and Google Docs all over the web.
Here’s my summary from the data collected:
