• Photosynth Comes of Age in CNN’s Inauguration Coverage

• Lavasoft releases 10th anniversary edition of AdAware – Download Squad

  I feel like I’m seeing TrialPay EVERYWHERE lately! Anyhow, I highly recommend AdAware. The free version should suit most users.

• AyeNotes: Take online notes, take notes online

  This looks like it could be really useful. Response time is quick, too, which is good because this would be FAIL if you had to sit and wait for your notes to catch during a meeting.
