The real news for those of us living double lives with PCs are the new features in the mail, calendar and address book (contact) programs that now integrate with Microsoft Exchange 2007. Admittedly, I’m an early adopter of most anything because I enjoy the challenges...…

If you publish content for your firm, company, or even blog, Facebook, Tweet or have a LinkedIn profile – and don’t think people are listening and watching to what you do or say – you need to wake up! Microsoft pulled a fast one when it took a photo of an African-American man and changed...…

Intuit’s corporate communications guy Rich Walker used his Facebook page to tease the accounting community on Sunday night with a post that said: “Intuit innovates again with a new, web-based application for accounting and tax pros. Details coming soon!” While I have no confirmation for this, I’m pretty confident that it is related to my...…

People often scoff at others who find themselves in a predicament because they didn’t read “the fine print.” But almost all of us are guilty of this error in judgement, and not just occasionally… we do it every day.

This latest version while not a singular upgrade that you should run right out and buy is one of those upgrades which makes sense if the firm is still using Adobe Acrobat Standard 6.x, 7.x, or 8.x. All three of these previous versions suffer from some type of programming problem which cause issues for the…

I’ve written a few blog entries about cloud computing – hoping to make an impact on CPAs and accountants reading these entries who can understand how this outsourced technology infrastructure model is secure and efficient.

You would have to living on the side of a mountain not to hear about Microsoft and the problems its endured over the last several years: declining revenues, slow-to-market product growth and the shortcomings of Windows Vista are just a few of the issues. I believe things are about to change – for the better....…

Fellow CPATechViews blogger Dave McClure recently wrote about Google’s new foray into the land of operating systems (See: Killing Microsoft: www.cpatechviews.com/2009/07/killing-microsoft). He also notes Microsoft’s latest entry in the search engine field with Bing.com. Just as I don’t think Microsoft has much to worry about (yet) from a Google cloud-based operation system, I also don’t...…

When I talk with clients and present to groups about social media, one of the most often-asked questions I get it whether an organization ought to give its employees access to social media while they are at work.
