Got a question about technology? Ask it here. Discussion of hardware, software, TiVos, multi-region DVDs, Windows, Macs, LINUX, hand-helds, iPods, anything tech related. Better than any helpdesk!

"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?
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?
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:

I like my first gen unit. I don't know about the 2nd gen units.
I'd love to put DropBox on my work computer so I can then see stuff at home, but I don't think the corporate IT folks would be at all happy about that. My particular job doesn't involve anything that I need to access at home.
