Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Oh, excellent, ND. I bought an Acer already. I don't need to be advertised to anymore, and it's not one of those brands that makes me warm in my pants every time I get purchase affirmation or anything.

"Report of the Geological Exploration of the Fortieth Parallel" is available as an e-book! I had to squee somewhere, even if I'm the only one who cares.

Which is better -- Goodreader or iAnnotate?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

What do you want to do?

IMO, you need goodreader anyway. It is a swiss army knife that allows you to transfer all kinds of files to and from dropbox, email, etc. I have downloaded video files through goodreader and opened them in another app. I have downloaded ebooks, etc. You can sync files with a particular folder in dropbox, etc.

It is much more powerful (given what you may want to do) than iannotate.

Iannotate I think is best for annotating files. It is a much better UI than goodreader, but it does one thing really well.

What's a UI?

I'd like to annotate PDFs for work, but I'm not sure that I need both of them?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

sorry.

User Interface.

In my opinion, if you will be doing a lot of PDF work, I'd recommend iannotate. You can customize the menus and I annotate quicker using iannotate than GR. There is a big manual with IA, but you can get through that without too much trouble.

You can also sign documents with IA if you have an image with your signature.

I think you should get GR just on GP. It is really one of my favorite apps. I have it for iphone and ipad.

Lifehacker's supporting a beta of Soluto, which is a remote support app for WIndows machines. Apparently you can support from an OS X box, but for now you can only support Windows boxes.

The registration URL is [link] and the access code is lifehackersentme.

I installed logmein on my father's machine, but I'll give this a shot too.

eta: Interesting. It gives troubleshooting information about the supported PC, like browser installed, make and model, etc. Nifty.

I was just on technical support with a product that shall remain nameless, and I was having difficulty accessing something, and the support person told me to enter the code "batwoman". I seriously had to read it three times to be sure I wasn't making stuff up in my own little DC girl power headspace, but, no, "batwoman" is the real code, and gets me into where I need to be.

Cool.

For those of you who remain interested in airstash, apparently the company now has stock. I know it is on sale at Amazon (here is a link):

but if you go to airstash.com you might see other vendors listed as well. Part of the description:
