40Tech Posterous Digest – Blind Search; Windows 7 Touchscreen

40techposterous 40Tech now will be posting certain types of content on Posterous, in addtion to the normal posts that you’ll continue to find here at 40tech.com. Posterous is a blogging service that allows users to quickly post content using email. On 40Tech’s Posterous site, I’ll be posting content that is too long for Twitter, yet too short to merit a full post here on 40Tech. Periodically (perhaps once a week), I’ll post a quick list of 40Tech’s recent Posterous posts here at 40tech.com.

Microsoft Excel may be the standard among spreadsheet applications, but if you're looking to save a few dollars, there are many alternative applications available. Most of these applications are free to download and use, and are very similar to Microsoft Excel in terms of usage and features. Some of these applications are cloud-based, and run from within your web browser. Others are traditional desktop applications that you install much like you would install any other program.

The Most Exciting 3 Months in Tech – Ever?

fireworks Tech geeks get overly excited by new tech releases. I count myself in that group. Also, it is easy for tech geeks to forget the past (or at least view that past with a fond chuckle), since technology by its very nature tends to constantly grow and evolve. For example, now that I have an iPhone, I look back and wonder how I ever could have loved my Palm Treo as much as I did. So, am I buying into the hype if I wonder whether the next three months will be the most exciting three months ever in tech? Is this a view that would cause chuckles of amusement (or derisive calls of "noob!") from tech veterans? Or are the next three months shaping up to be as awesome as they seem?

3 Reasons Google Wave Won’t Flop

Several weeks ago, I questioned whether tech geeks were out of touch with the rest of the world. From having no "real world" friends with Twitter accounts, to having family members who could care less about the tech over which I get excited, I pondered whether we tech geeks lived in a different reality. One example of the type of tech that only tech geeks might love is Google Wave. Wave is Google’s next generation e-mail/instant messaging/collaboration/social media tool. As the Google Operating System blog explains, a "wave is equal parts conversation and document, where people can communicate and work together with richly formatted text, photos, videos, maps, and more." For a thorough explanation of Wave, check out Mashable’s Complete Guide to Google Wave. But is Wave something only a tech geek could love?
