New Mac Converter for those Office 08 Docx

The previous beta document converter (Open Office XML Format Converter for Mac ) that Microsoft put out only worked with word documents (.docx) A new converter has been released that works on word, excel and powerpoint documents that have been created in Office 2008 and can't be opened in older versions. If you don't have the latest version of Office it can be annoying when you got those documents that end in x and can't open them. Here's an article in MacWorld and the Mactopia link to the converter you can download to your desktop to open documents that end in .docx, .xlsx, and pptx.

Looks like there might be more online photo editing opportunities coming soon as announced at Photoshop World in SF recently: http://news.com.com/8301-10784_3-9773731-7.html. It looks like Adobe is getting ready to launch a free photoshop express-like web version soon. This will be helpful but I hope that they offer the ability to change resolution – one of the features that is most often missing in current web 2.0 photo editing webware.
