Must-See Speaker: Digital CPA Keynoter Nicholas Carr

You can tell a lot about a conference from its keynote speakers. When it comes to Digital CPA, we?ve built a pretty compelling track record. Our first year featured Geoffrey Moore, high-tech strategist and author of the technology adoption classic ?Crossing the Chasm.? Last year was Simon Sinek, whose concept of ?Start with Why? is a great framing device for business leaders. Who?s next? For this year, we?ve lined up Nicholas Carr, whose thought-provoking books and articles over the past decade include ?IT Doesn?t Matter,? ?Is Google Making Us Stupid?? and ?The Shallows: What the Internet is Doing to Our Brains,? the latter a finalist for the 2011 Pulitzer Prize in general nonfiction. Of particular interest, he?s also written ?The Big Switch: Rewiring the World, from Edison to Google,? a look at the impact of cloud computing. Carr isn?t the only showstopper. We?ll also have remarks from our CEO Erik Asgeirsson, AICPA President and CEO Barry Melancon, noted political commentator George F. Will, futurist James Canton, and a host of practitioners, thought leaders and rainmakers in the Digital CPA sphere. Come join us at Digital CPA on Dec. 8-10, 2014, at the Gaylord National Resort in Washington, D.C. To learn...

Facebook launches unified mobile site, announces 250 million mobile users

Facebook has announced that its two mobile sites -- m.facebook.com and touch.facebook.com -- have been unified, bringing a simpler mobile experience to Facebook users. And there are a lot of those -- a quarter billion, according to Facebook.

Smartphone users won't be losing any functionality because of the consolidation. If your phone supported the enhacned features offered by touch.facebook.com, the new site will automatically flip the switch when you visit.

Rolling the sites together helps simplify things for Facebook's developer team. Now changes can be pushed to a single site instead of two separate sites, which makes it easier to ensure that all mobile users receive a nearly identical experience regardless of the device they're using.

The new Facebook mobile can also check to see if your phone supports geolocation. If it doesn't, you won't be seeing much of Facebook Places -- which obviously relies heavily on geolocation. Images can also be optimized on the fly to keep page performance from suffering on less powerful devices. You can see the three different versions of the share button below, courtesy our friends at TechCrunch.

Microsoft releases sexy Bing app for iPad

It's still a bit odd seeing Microsoft deliver apps for Apple's mobile platform. And it's even stranger still to see one as sexy as the new Bing app for iPad, which brings a slick, immersive search experience to Apple's tablet.

Just as a regular search on bing.com will, the Bing app for iPad tailors the results it displays based on what you're searching for. There are loads of custom views, covering everything from movies and maps to weather and shopping. The app also offers a heads-up display of currently trending searches, complete with related images, which is an iPad-exclusive feature.

Navigation is a breeze thanks to multitouch controls, allowing users to flick or swipe through results. And while the development team refers to the app as "touch and decide," Bing Voice Search is also built in -- making it easy to start a query without using the iPad's on-screen keyboard.

The Bing app for iPad is available for download now from the App Store.

Becoming a Digital CPA Firm ? Challenges to Clients ? Part 2

Maribel Torres-Pinero, CPA Maribel Torres-Pinero, CPA Becoming a digital CPA firm is an immediate benefit to clients; that?s a no-brainer. Clients? systems become more secure and efficient with fewer touch points. Clients will have real-time access to their data and remote access to data from most digital devices. In addition, they get to see their financials in a dashboard format that is easy to understand. You would think that there would be few if any challenges, right? Clients enjoy predictability from their service providers. Predictability is a crucial ingredient to the trust equation. Attempting to change the processes and the way they must now think about the information brings instability, even if the client understands the benefits. A usual question is, ?Why change a system that is working well at this time?? Timing can be an issue since we usually try to make these changes to coincide with the client?s fiscal year end, but it may not be the most convenient time for the client if they have an important event or vacation planned. It?s helped that we have gained our clients? trust and respect from years of working with them. Nevertheless, clients were either willing and excited, willing and...

Install the Windows Phone 7 NoDo update regardless of your carrier

windows phone 7 nodoSome of you who own Windows Phone 7 devices are still waiting for your pre-NoDo preparation update -- never mind NoDo itself. A few workarounds have been posted, but unfortunately they didn't work unless your carrier had completed testing and was ready to schedule the update.

Now, however, the Chevron WP7 team's Chris Walshie has delivered a handy little utility that will allow you to update any Windows Phone 7 device -- regardless of your carrier.
  1. Download and install the Windows Phone Support Tool (x86 or x64) and the ChevronWP7 Updater (x86 or x64)
  2. Launch ChevronWP7 Updater and select your language. If your language isn't listed, stop and do not update.
  3. If were running WP7 build 7004 (you can verify in Zune) then run the updater twice.
Once the process completes, you should be able to copy and paste to your heart's content. Let's just hope all this update foolishness gets sorted out before we're supposed to receive Mango.

Auslogics Disk Defrag 3.2 gets smarter, faster

auslogics defrag
Auslogics Disk Defrag has been part of my system maintenance toolkit for quite some time. With the release of version 3.2, it's now even better at tidying up and optimizing your system's hard disk drives. In addition to a cleaner, easier-to-use interface, Disk Defrag 3.2 offers improved single file and folder defragging, better processing of multiple disks, a simplified scheduling screen, and more informative tool tips. Auslogics has also fine-tuned the program's defragmentation and file consolidation algorithms.

For laptop users, there's a new option to lock the program if your system is running on battery power -- so scheduled operations don't kick in and drain your power source at an inopportune moment. If you happen to have an SSD installed in your PC, you can head to the Disk Defrag options and exclude it from scanning (many think that defragmenting an SSD is a very bad idea).

Auslogics Disk Defrag is a free download and works with most versions of Windows.

Unpacking PSTech

It?s impossible to absorb everything the AICPA Practitioners Symposium & Tech+ Conference throws at you in real time. There are so many people to meet, so many sessions to choose from, so much to see on the exhibit floor, that you need time to decompress and figure out what you learned. We?ve had a chance to kick around some of the conference?s main themes at CPA.com over the past few days, and here?s what resonated with us: One size doesn?t fit all: niche marketing, technology and streamlined processes allow firms to set themselves apart and offer tailored solutions for clients. Complexity is a challenge for firms, but also represents the greatest area of opportunity in terms of serving clients. Firms need to be keenly aware of where they sit in the client value chain. If your focus is only on compliance activity, you may find yourself automated out of a job over time. Tax season was better (slightly) but still an uphill battle for firms. Clear communication is vital in practice management. Get everyone on the same page ? and hold everyone accountable. If you missed the show, browse through some of the session decks from the CPA.com team: Erik...

TweetDeck to launch as HTML5 Web app, now accepting beta testers

When TweetDeck landed in the Chrome Web Store, it seemed like an indication that it might eventually evolve into a pure HTML5 Web app. Now it looks as though that's exactly what's going to happen, with TweetDeck announcing that a new, not-just-for-Chrome Web client is ready for beta testing.

It's a natural progression for TweetDeck, especially since its originally Adobe Air app is practically all Web code. TweetDeck Web will sport a feature set which is nearly identical to the Chrome app, with the notable exception of Twitter streaming.

Initially, TweetDeck is targeting Firefox 4 and 3.6, Google Chrome, and Safari. Opera and Internet Explorer 9 won't be invited to the dance until a bit later on.

If you'd like to get in on the TweetDeck Web beta, head on over and register -- or sign up using your existing TweetDeck account.

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.

This Friendly Robot Could One Day Be Your Family?s Personal Assistant

For many families, the tablet has become the central, shared computing device in the home. It's a hub for learning, for entertainment, and for staying connected. But what if your tablet was even more interactive? What if it woke up when you can home, recognized your face, and suggested a couple of things you might want for dinner? What if, when asked a spoken question, it could tailor its answer directly to you, instead of just offering a blanket response?
