If you’re an iPhone user you’re very familiar with the “feature” known as Auto Correct. Essentially its a feature that tries to determine what you’re saying and attempts to replace your words for you as you type. As an example, if I typed “a-c-r”, Auto Correct may assume that I’m typing “Acroment” and it will fill it in for me.
Note in that last sentence that I said that Auto Correct “may” assume I’m typing Acroment. In MANY cases, the feature doesn’t quite hit the mark and give you an incorrect word. As in this screen shot, iPhone has incorrectly assumed that I was going for “acromegaly”. I didn’t know the word so I had to look it up (courtesy Wikipedia): Read the rest of this entry

I recently ran across this article on smallbiztechnology.com and wanted to pass it along:
Microsoft and Google: 3 Misconceptions That Microsoft Wants You To Know About
The article is certainly biased (It’s written by Microsoft Product Manager, Bhavika Thakkar) but I think it highlights some differences that business owners really need to consider when moving ANY of their services to the cloud.
In my experience, no other email server works as well or is as powerful as Microsoft Exchange Server. While you may be using Microsoft Office Outlook to connect to other email servers (POP or IMAP servers for example) there are a lot of back end features of Outlook which are not unlocked unless you have your mailbox on an Exchange Server (as many of our customers do).
The information in this article isn’t news to me. However, it does help highlight some of the risks you take when evaluating a move to hosted services.
For some additional reading on “The Cloud” see below:
Are you using Cloud services for your business?
If so which ones and what’s been your experience?

As you may have seen, we recently reviewed the Amazon Kindle Wi-Fi Edition here on the Acroment blog. We received quite a bit of feedback on that post not only about the Kindle but about other e-readers as well. One such reader that was mentioned on more than one occasion was the Nook by Barnes & Noble.
We’ve decided to review this product in the very near future. It’s on order and should be delivered in the next couple of days. In addition to our review, we’re going one step further. Once our review is done, we’re giving this away to one of our Facebook Friends!
To be eligible all you have to do is “like” us on Facebook. Anyone who’s friends with us (with the exception of Acroment employees) is eligible. We’ll post our review and announce the winner here and on Facebook on March 11th, 2011. Stay tuned!
And while you’re on Facebook, please consider liking our friends FastWebUpdates.com. Thanks!
