Microsoft Outlook has a vast base of users. There are some who love it, some who hate it but have to use it because it’s the cornerstone of their office’s information system, and some who are more or less indifferent. Outlook is a personal information manager (PIM) comprised of three major functions: e-mail, contact management, and scheduling. As it turns out, Windows Vista comes with all three of these PIM tricks built in to the OS. This raises a question: If you upgrade to Vista, do you need Outlook?
With years of hardcore Outlook dependence under our belts, we explored the possibilities. Having spent considerable time with Windows Vista sans Outlook, we can honestly say that it’s possible to live without the Microsoft Office PIM, but your success will vary based on what you actually need out of your information management software.

Soon after a computer powers up, it starts looking for wireless networks and network services. Even if the wireless hardware is then shut-off, a snoop may already have caught interesting data.
Much more information can be plucked out of the air if the computer is connected to an access point, in particular an access point without security. “You’re leaking all kinds of information that an attacker can use,” David Maynor, chief technology officer at Errata Security, said Thursday in a presentation at the Black Hat DC event here. “If the government was taking this information from you, people would be up in arms. Yet you’re leaking this voluntarily using your laptop at the airport.” Read More»

Last week, someone asked me for my fax number. I thought, “How quaint.” Seriously, there are some day-to-day office functions that are not email, web site related.
So it goes with mailing labels, envelopes, addresses. Old fashioned? Yes. For some. For others, it’s a factory job with Mail Factory.
