One of the coolest things I've installed lately is Boxee, the 'open connected, social mediacenter for OSX and Linux'. This Open source mediacenter has a very slick and polished interface and enables you to play your own media, but also all sorts of free internet audio and videostreams. Boxee is THE perfect partner for your Mac Mini or barebone Ubuntu PC that you have hooked up to your TV.

A very nice addition to all of this coolness is the Boxee Remote App for the iPhone or iTouch. It was already available in the jailbroken iPhone world, but has now been approved by Apple to be in the iTunes Appstore. And it's totally free.

When you start the app, it finds your Boxee box, and connects to it automatically. Then you can choose between a conventional remote, with arrows and an OK button to navigate through Boxee. But later on I descovered the 'Gesture' mode, which basically turns your iPhone into a touchpad, making the navigation just like you're working on a laptop touchpad. Tapping the screen emulates a mouseclick. This makes navigation without even looking at the remote app possible.

Although the Boxee project is still in a Beta stadium, and may be unstable from time to time (especially on Ubuntu, in my experience), it promisses to be the leading mediacenter software in the near future. The remote app for iPhone personally has made me a Boxee addict now.

As for Word 2010, Microsoft Office I really like the ribbon effect Microsoft Office 2007. The only really annoying thing so far is Micro office 2010 that once a document is closed, it doesn't show up on the "Recent Documents" list if it is download Office 2010 saved in the temp directory (for example). So, 2010 office if you forget to save your doc to the Office 2007 right place, it may be hard to find. For me, being on the set of the Martha Stewart television show Office Microsoft 2010 was a treat. It was the Office 2010 download second time, actually, because back in October Anduin showcased Office Microsoft Microsoft OneNote on the air for how it was office 2010 professional helping her keep track of everything from her daughter's school information to her holiday gift list to her complete set of Thanksgiving plans. This was simple to install, early loaded onto my new Windows 7 program. Office 2010 I had no problem MS office 2007 linking over old files from my MS office 2010 old computer. Old file information was easy absorbed by the 'New' versions of the various office products and Microsoft outlook 2010 in just a few minutes all my Office 2007 key old data was reasonable so I had very minimal down time. Last week, the Martha Stewart show featured Microsoft office professional 2010 Word in a television segment about office 2010 pro how to make personal holiday cards quickly and easily. As the product guy responsible for most of the Office Microsoft outlook apps, of course I was Office 2007 download tickled by the fact that Office 2010 Microsoft Word was going to be on TV. Word doesn't get much stage time, you understand. She's definitely the behind-the-scenes kind of girl; much like Anduin Havens, who is the art director for the Microsoft Office 2010 Martha Stewart show download Office 2007. Anduin has got to be one of the 2010 Office Microsoft most creative people I've ever met. She's brilliant, she's won an Emmy for her work on creating the Outlook 2010 set of the show, and she made Office 2010 key these beautiful holiday cards office 2010 home in Word, which were featured on the air.
