Read MoreHave Gmail or Google Apps? Try This Great Way to Track Spam
I can’t say that this was an original idea of mine; it’s scattered throughout the Internet and a co-worker first brought it to my attention (I know the person would probably prefer not to be named). On the other hand, this is a great way to track spam, especially what organizations are giving out your e-mail address, and so I thought I would mention it.

To clarify (and as a legal disclaimer), we will be doing “passive scanning” – that means we...

For years, Microsoft held the reigns on desktop publishing, especially in the corporate environment. The Microsoft Office Suite (including Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and later Outlook) were the standard in documents, spreadsheets, presentations and organizing it all together in e-mail. Sure, there were competitors in the market such as Lotus, Wordperfect and even Microsoft’s “home” version of office, Works, but there’s no doubt that Microsoft Office was the dominant player by far.
