As more and more people are getting work done in the cloud with Google Docs, a common stumbling block has been copying and pasting formatted content between documents, spreadsheets and presentations. On Wednesday Google made this a whole lot easier with a web clipboard for Google Docs. Just highlight what you want to copy, select from the web clipboard menu, move to your other Google Docs window and choose what you want to paste from the web clipboard menu. Your pasted content will retain its original formatting so you don't have to spend time reformatting.

Forgotten Attachment Detector FAD is an Add-in for MS Outlook. It checks your email before you send it to see if you have forgotten to attach an attachment. It uses a small set of customizable keywords to do its detection. If it detects that you may have forgotten to “attach an attachment” it pops up a dialog that lets you fix your mistake before the mail goes out. The current version of FAD allows you to customize which keywords FAD uses for detection. To customize the keywords click the “FAD” button on the main Outlook toolbar. The dialog that opens allows you to add, edit, or delete the keywords which will trigger a notification from FAD.

Microsoft Tag is a breakthrough technology that transforms everyday things in the real world into live links to online information and entertainment.

From your mobile phone, simply snap or scan a Tag image anywhere you see it – in editorials, advertisements, product packaging, signs and storefronts – and gain instant access to Websites, videos, reviews, schedules, contact information, social networks, discounts, promotions and more!

All you need to do is download the free Tag reader on your web enabled camera phone and when you see a Tag, snap or scan it to interact with the world around you in new ways!

Interact with almost anything!

• Makes offline media (print ads, billboards, posters, television) and physical objects (product packages, storefronts, T-shirts, museum exhibits) interactive.
• Dream up your scenario; engage with your audience in real time, in the real world; and know how successful you were.
• Remember what you saw, and share it with friends.

 Link people to your profile, blog, or contact information.

• Mix it up! Use one Tag for business colleagues and another version for social networking.
• Your Tag can link people to mobile sites, profiles, videos, podcasts, products, or other little pieces of content like ringtones and wallpapers.
• Never lose a number; contact data can be automatically added to your mobile address book.

The sophisticated technology powering Microsoft Tag, High Capacity Color Barcodes (HCCBs), was invented by Microsoft Research. It was designed from the ground up for maximum performance with the limited cameras on most mobile phones. Advanced image-processing techniques decode even out-of-focus barcode images, which means Microsoft Tag works with the fixed-focus camera lenses common in most mobile devices.

The advanced computer imaging of HCCBs employs different symbol shapes in geometric patterns and multiple colors to provide more information in less space.

There are no charges to install or use the Microsoft Tag reader on your phone. However, the application uses your data plan, and during the use of the application you may choose to dial phone numbers or send emails or SMSs. Standard carrier rates will apply. During the beta period, there is no charge to create and use Tags. And in the event that Microsoft decides to charge publishers to use Tags, any Tags that were created and used during the beta, will continue to work, free of charge, for at least two years.

Today I spent almost 4 hours on troubleshooting Joomla Modules/Components Installation on Godaddy Windows Hosting. Their support is of little help as they take at least 6 hours to respond. I was trying to install a few joomla components and modules on my shared hosting. The problems were:

1. configuration.php was not writable - I made it writable using their file manager

2. Modules and Components were refusing to install. The issue was in incorrect log file and tmp file location in configuration.php - I changed it to the correct path. Basically you need to point log directory to Absolute Hosting Path available in your godaddy hosting account. It looks like this: D:\Hosting\some numerics\html. Change your log directory to D:\Hosting\some numerics\html\logs and your tmp directory to D:\Hosting\some numerics\html\tmp

3. Modules and Components directory were not writable - I made writable using file manager

Once the above changes were made, everything went smooth.

If are facing the same issues, follow the above steps. Make sure that you make modules and components directory unwritable after installing them.
