on
Lifehacker (12183) permalink
IBM is offering the public a peek at Bluehouse, an online office portal aimed at making it easier for employees to share documents and desktops, host web conferences, and reach out to clients from one location. Any sized business can sign up to try out the service, though not everything works at the moment. One notably cool feature is the "Live Charts," which does exactly what it sounds like. There's tagging, importing from Outlook or ...Shared by Ben Shoemate (64) cfohlin (14) Chip Ashby (31) Chris Bartlett (17) Christian Santos (98) David (30) Duane (58) John W (25) Katie (13) Mick (49) Mike (23) Sanns (18) smerrell (18) Terren (20) Tim (86)- Katie said: IBM's Google Docs-killer?

"Mail Goggles" Prevents Regrettable Late-Night Email [Gmail Labs] (41)
onA new Gmail Labs feature dubbed "Mail Goggles" has Gmail ask you a series of math problems before allowing you to send out emails late on certain nights—like, say, those nights when you're artificially motivated to tell your boss/significant other/frenemy just what the deal is. You can adjust the bewitching hours and difficulty of the math problems in your general settings.

TechCrunch (8466) permalink
Who needs a Nintendo Wii when you’ve got an iPhone? The Social Gaming Network, which released a Wii-like golfing game for the iPhone two weeks ago, has now followed up with a bowling game. As with iGolf (which has already been downloaded more than 900,000 times), iBowl uses the iPhone’s accelerometer to detect a player’s swing. You can twist your wrist to give the ball spin or direct it to the pins. SGN is better ...Shared by ConceptSL (60) Alex Porter (20) cfohlin (14) Coolbox (26) dffrnt (53) ModernBizzle (20) Pankaj (9) Rex (150) Selwin (54) soupenvy (33) zemlanin (62)- Pankaj said: iPhone just gets better.
