What photo management tools do people use? I need something that will scan all my various places with .jpgs and can compare for duplicates and then do file management.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, I am clearly the only person in this world that can't make a NAS work. Neither of my units will talk AFP right now, so no backup. The new one is brilliant at DLNA, though. Converts everything perfectly for the TV, and I can rewind and fast forward.
BUT I NEED TO BE ABLE TO BACK UP REGULARLY.
I have been told that if I get a QNAP unit it's all I'll ever need. I need to stop buying fucking NASes.
And for this to happen when the spare terabyte on the desktop is failing...I can't even back up the programs installed on it....I fucking hate computers. Plus I need the laptop backed up so I can take it in to get fixed.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Microsoft Office for the iPhone. Seriously.

Hey. New board.
I have to say I'm a pretty big fan of Office 365 and Sky drive and prefer it to Google docs/drive in many ways. I would be happy if it caught on and this is a step in the right direction.

I'm pretty impressed by Word on Sky Drive. Except, last time I tried it, it didn't support inserting page breaks. I mean, what the hell?

Ever since I caved and subscribed to Office 365, I can't imagine going back to Google docs. It's good for a free product in a pinch, but it just doesn't do half the stuff Actual Office does.

Woe to the fucking wicked.
Why would you optimize for the phone and not the damn tablet? Grr

omnis, pursue. That's an order from a shy woman who can use M-16. - Shir
they want you to buy their tablets, not iOS ones.

I finally got around to looking at the new Flickr, and holy god I had to get out of there.
So now that Flickr is a hot mess, where are people storing/sharing photos? I have one set of grandparents who aren't on Facebook, so I need something pretty basic that will let me email links to photo sets. Dropbox? Picassa?
