  • Ten Eight: Yelp for Office Buildings

    CRETECH

    We’ve all conducted office space tours with 10 different company officers in tow: the COO, the IT guy, the head of HR and the lunch lady. (Why is she here?? Ooohh, she’s the CEO’s mother-in-law’s niece.) Everyone likes different buildings for different reasons. The COO wants covered parking, IT is looking for a bunker with raised floors, HR is scoping out the file cabinet space potential, and Gabbie the lunch lady wants a cushy bathroom to kickback in after Taco Tuesdays. Never before were these…

  • DropBox vs. iCloud: In it to win it?

    CRETECH

    Over the last week or two, I’ve read several articles on how Apple is angling to go head-to-head with DropBox with such vigor that DropBox risks never seeing another Apple user sign up for its service. Pandodaily’s Farhad Majoo, Steve Jobs was right: Dropbox is a feature, not a product: Dropbox is one of the few genuinely delightful tools I use regularly, and I’m constantly recommending it to friends and family. And yet I’m extremely skeptical about Dropbox’s business prospects, and totally puzz…

  • Evernote: Note Taking The Way It Should Be

    CRETECH

    Taking notes on a yellow note-pad is so 1990s.

  • Photosynth for iPhone: Virtual Tours Galore

    CRE Apps recently posted a review on 360 Panorama by Occipital which got a lot of interest. With my curiosity piqued, I set out to look for similar apps. Low and behold, there is a one for the the iPhone called Photosynth. It is made by Microsoft, and is quite amazing.
