Zoho Suite vs Google Docs

zohovsgoogapps.jpg

Slowly you’ve been moving the work you used to do in desktop applications online, and you’ve got two major choices to do that: Google Apps or Zoho’s Office Suite. Both the big G and the little Z offer completely browser-based office applications like a word processor and spreadsheet, as well as communication tools like chat and email, as well as collaboration tools like project managers and wiki’s. But the business-oriented Zoho and the consumer-oriented Google applications differ a little bit in offerings, and probably a whole lot when it comes to active users. After the jump, we compare Zoho and Google’s current webapp offerings and you get the chance to pick your poison.

Every time we visit Zoho, we’re impressed by the wide range of available applications, and their depth of features. So we talked to Raju Vegesna at Zoho, who gave us a quick rundown of what Google’s got, and what Zoho’s got. Most applications have equivalents, and some only Zoho has, and some only Google has, and some seem imminent based on recent acquisitions. Here’s a table.

It tells you in a table which stuff you can do and what you can not do!! I thought it was interesting!!

USB Ubuntu 7.10 Gutsy Gibbon install

USB Ubuntu 7.10 install from Linux: This tutorial enables you to install, boot and run Ubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy Gibbon) from USB. In addition to installing Ubuntu to a USB device and then booting Ubuntu from USB, this tutorial will enable you to automatically save your changes and settings back to the stick and further restore them on each boot using a second “casper-rw” persistent partition. The tutorial was written for those already familiar with working from Ubuntu or another Linux desktop environment. If you do not have access to or prefer not to use a Windows computer, this Ubuntu Linux on a stick tutorial is for you.

Ubuntu 7.10 takes slightly longer to boot than previous releases. However, once it’s up and running, it performs much better than running from the Live CD.

USB Ubuntu 7.10 Essentials:

  • Ubuntu7.10 ISO
  • CD Burner
  • 1GB USB flash drive (2GB+ recommended)
  • U710fix.tar

Starbucks Tests Free Wi-Fi In California

I told you October 11 about my prediction that Starbucks would offer free Wi-Fi within a year. Well, the prediction is happening… sort of. Starbucks is TESTING FREE WI-FI at some 1,000 Southern California stores (until October 31). I think this is a trial run for much wider free Wi-Fi.(props to djchuang.com and the ubiquitous Chris Pirillo)

Figured it will come this way!!! I am sure of it!!
