Annotation isn’t exactly fun, no. Annotation is when you have to edit parts of a document, such as highlighting or underlining a certain portion of a document you may have scanned. Now, it’s time for us to turn our attention to a Website that will let you annotate without having to install anything. Fine Tuna allows you to quickly and easily edit your documents on the fly, no matter where you are.

You won’t believe how simple this is to use. Simply upload an image or design, then add your comments. When you’re finished, you can either email it to another person(s), or send them the direct link to what you’ve done. That’s it… seriously. Your “image” is likely a scanned document, of course. They also have a Firefox Extension which allows you to send any image directly from Firefox with comments.

You are dynamically editing annotations, without having to install anything. If this doesn’t trump your desktop software, I’d be surprised. If you do a lot of collaboration with others, you’ll want to move as many of your experiences to the Web as you can. This allows you to do that, without having to cause you any headaches.

VMware and Parallels for Virtual Machines

chris@lockergnome.com (Chris Pirillo) — Mon, 25 Feb 2008 06:30:00 GMT

It doesn't matter if you're running on Windows or Mac OS X - every power user needs either Parallels or VMware (or both). There's never been an easier way to test software without destroying your primary operating system's stability. Think of how many times you wish you could press a 'reverse' button on your computer. Plus, there's no easier way to try new Linux distributions - see what all the fuss is about. Run Windows in OS X, run Linux in Windows, but the best way to do either is with VMware and/or Parallels.
