How to manage the compatibility issues of Office 2007 to earlier office versions?

All earlier Office applications used the file extensions as .doc, .xls and .ppt for Word, Excel and PowerPoint respectively, but now Office 2007 applications uses the .docx, xlsx and .pptx file extensions for Word, Excel and PowerPoint respectively. These all new file extensions are not compatible with all previous versions of Office applications, that is why Office 2002 and Office 2003 applications cannot open and read the .docx, xlsx and .pptx file extensions.

Firefox 3.1 beta adds new tab functions

The latest Firefox 3.1 development release features the announced option for tab tearing: drag a tab out of its current window, and it is removed and opened on a new one, providing a more intuitive way to organize your web browsing.

Alternatively, you can right-click on a tab and select Open in New Window.

The feature, that mimics Google Chrome’s behavior, had been requested and planned several times in the past.
Tab tearing is the latest in a long list of tabbed browsing improvements that already included a new tab button, a tab preview panel, tab reparenting for true tab moving across windows, tab cloning, and visual tab switching. Some of the changes follow a design shift to make the tab bar visible at all times, which has also got the throbber out of the menu bar, as it is now redundant with each tab’s activity indicator.
Animations for moving, opening and closing tabs was also mentioned for Firefox 3.1 but it’s still unclear if will make it.
As usual with new features, tab tearing has introduced a few new bugs, but, hopefully, they will all be ironed for Firefox 3.1’s next development release, Beta 2, due within the next couple of weeks.

Yang or no Yang, Microsoft still doesn’t want to buy Yahoo! (Anymore)

If it seems like every few days we’re checking to see if Microsoft plans to buy Yahoo!, it’s because we are. Earlier this year, Microsoft offered to buy the search company for $33 a share, but Yahoo! CEO Jerry Yang said that bid undervalued the company. After a little back and forth, Microsoft walked away.
Flash forward half a year, and Yahoo! stock is trading at around the $10 mark, Yang has announced plans to step down as CEO, and Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer says the company still isn’t interested in buying Yahoo!. Ballmer says Microsoft is still interested in pursuing a deal with Yahoo! to leverage the company’s search technology. But that’s not too surprising, since Ballmer’s been saying that for months.
Does this mean that we won’t see two of the largest companies in the software and internet space join forces? No, not really. Ballmer could just be negotiating or waiting for Yahoo! stock to drop low enough that he can pick up the company with nothing but spare change found in his couch cushions. But it is interesting to know that the departure of Yahoo!’s CEO seems to have no bearing on Ballmer’s position.

Google adds instant translation to Google Reader

Google Reader, Bloglines and other RSS readers make it easy to keep on top of the latest news from dozens, or even hundreds of web pages without actually visiting those pages. But if you want to read a web site that constantly covers news you’re interested in, and just happens to be in a language you don’t speak, in the past you’ve needed to exit your RSS reader and load the page in Google Translate or Windows Live Translate or a similar service.
Or you could use a service like Mloovi to translate the RSS feed, but Mloovi has a few limitations, like the inability to show pictures or full feeds. Now it looks like Google is taking things into its own hands, by combining Google Reader with Google Translate.
Here’s how it works. Just subscribe to a blog or news site in another language (assuming you can find the subscribe button). Then go to the feed settings in Google Reader and select “Translate into my language.” That’s it. You only have to do this once per feed and Google Reader will automatically translate that page until you tell it to stop.
Keep in mind, these are machine-generated translations, so they’re far from perfect. But if you don’t have time to learn French just to read a few articles from Le Monde from time to time, this could be the next best thing. Or maybe the thing after that.
