Zoho Docs 2.0 adds iPad support

zoho docs ipad
Zoho has offered an iOS app for a while now -- at least for the iPhone and iPod touch. Those of you who have been wanting to use the Zoho app on your iPad were out of luck, but that's no longer the case.

Zoho Docs 2.0 has landed in the App Store, and the most notable change is that it's now a universal app. Now you're able to take advantage of the app's mobile productivity powers on your larger iOS device. Retina display support has also been added, as have document sharing options -- which you can utilize in both the viewer and collaboration modes.

Just like the basic Zoho service, the app is available totally free of charge. Paid subscriptions get you additional storage space and start at $3 per month for professional use.

Windows 8 wallpaper available to download, Jupiter and Twin UI spotted

windows 8 wallpaper
With Windows 8 milestone 3 now up for grabs for select Microsoft Connect partners, it's inevitable that leaked bits and pieces will start popping up around the Web. In fact, the first "official" wallpaper image from the still-brewing OS is already making the rounds.

As you can see, it's got a similar feel to the good ol' Windows 7 default background, but features a more subdued smattering of cerulean hues. Those of you who want to use the Windows 8 wallpaper on your current desktop can download it from our file dump.

A few other details have been revealed, too. According to ZDNet's source, the Windows 8 Jupiter libraries and Twin UI are starting to take shape -- though all that's been located thus far are "[various files] scattered throughout the OS" and the aptly-named twinui.dll.

Evernote Web gets a new interface, Facebook sharing, and more

evernote web
Evernote, the popular multi-platform 'digital memory' app, has done some serious re-tooling of its Web interface. In addition to a more polished UI that more closely mirrors the look of Evernote on the desktop, the update brings features like notebook stacks and snippet view to the Web.

Auto-saving is now enabled as well, and you can select multiple items by holding down the Cmd or Ctrl key on your Mac or Windows keyboard. If you've got items stored in your notebooks that you want to share with friends or co-workers, Evernote has improved that process, too. You can quickly post an item to Facebook, share it via email, or generate a Web sharing link to paste into an IM conversation or status update.

Head over to the Evernote Web login page to try out the new interface.

Windows 8 welcome screen revealed, looks very Metro

windows 8 welcome screen
It's not really a secret the Microsoft had planned on bringing bits of Windows Phone 7's Metro UI to Windows 8, but we haven't seen a lot of really telling evidence. However, with the Windows 8 milestone 3 build now available to Microsoft Connect partners, it was really just a matter of time before we started to get a peek.

Thanks to Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, we've now had a glimpse at what the Windows 8 welcome screen will look like. As you can see, the typography is very Metro indeed. Within Windows also mentions that the background image is customizable, and we're wondering if it might not pull from your current Windows 8 theme. This particular shot shows the CTRL + ALT + DELETE login option, but we imagine you'll still be able to log in by clicking your account picture tile as well.

Rivera and Thurrott also mention that the tablet version of the welcome screen will allow you to log in by swiping a pattern on the screen -- as you can on current Android devices.

Ten Steps to a Digital Practice

John H. Higgins, CPA.CITP, CPA Crossings, LLC What does it mean and why you should pursue it I am currently serving as an advisor to a small accounting and tax practice to help them ?go paperless.? They know they need to change the way they process their engagements, but they aren?t really sure why and they definitely don?t know how. This is a very common scenario these days. We are in the midst of an unavoidable transition in how CPA firms get their work done and deliver their client services. Many firms have moved well down this path, past the heavy lifting of ?change? and are appreciating the benefits of leveraging technology to get their work done. On the other hand, there are a substantial number of small firms and sole practitioners who simply have not been able to dedicate the time and resources necessary to focus on using technology to increase efficiency and productivity. As the classic saying goes, they are too busy working in the business and not working on the business. The big deal in accounting firm technology for the past ten years has been ?going paperless?, driving paper out of the processes and focusing on doing...

Windows 8 welcome screen revealed, looks very Metro

windows 8 welcome screen
It's not really a secret the Microsoft had planned on bringing bits of Windows Phone 7's Metro UI to Windows 8, but we haven't seen a lot of really telling evidence. However, with the Windows 8 milestone 3 build now available to Microsoft Connect partners, it was really just a matter of time before we started to get a peek.

Thanks to Rafael Rivera and Paul Thurrott, we've now had a glimpse at what the Windows 8 welcome screen will look like. As you can see, the typography is very Metro indeed. Within Windows also mentions that the background image is customizable, and we're wondering if it might not pull from your current Windows 8 theme. This particular shot shows the CTRL + ALT + DELETE login option, but we imagine you'll still be able to log in by clicking your account picture tile as well.

Rivera and Thurrott also mention that the tablet version of the welcome screen will allow you to log in by swiping a pattern on the screen -- as you can on current Android devices.

Generational differences (and similarities). Trends in learning. Implementing great ideas.

Published October 22, 2012 Jennifer Wilson Partner & Co-Founder ConvergenceCoaching, LLC NEW YORK (Oct. 22, 2012) ?Generational differences (and similarities). Trends in learning. Implementing great ideas. These are the three change management ideas that I?ve been asked to facilitate sessions on at the inaugural Digital CPA 2012 CPA2Biz Cloud User Conference coming up December 5-7th in Washington, D.C. I love these topics ? because they all drive change to our viewpoints, our performance and our organizations. When you learn about diverse perspectives ? especially those driven by the different generations in the workplace ? you change the way you view your co-workers and clients. Instead of making them wrong for thinking, feeling or acting differently, you can find ways to bridge your differences and embrace the many similarities that exist between us ? especially between Baby Boomers and Millennials! The entire topic of learning is about change. Once you gain new knowledge and/or new skills, you are forever changed ? and for the better. And as the Chinese proverb says, ?Learning is like rowing upstream: not to advance is to drop back.? I am very excited to co-present a session with my good friend Mike Ramos, AICPA Director of CPE...
