Nifty little PDF to Word converter software (Windows)

Being a Mac user myself, the ability to “print to PDF” has been built-in for many years, so I make a lot of PDF files actually, just because it’s a lot easier to send a PDF file to somebody than a Word document that you never know how the recipient is going to interpret, depending on what kind of Word processor they are using. With PDF, you pretty much get what you see – on all computer systems.

But sometimes, you might need to go the other way back, that is, convert pdf to word. And that’s where this little nifty app comes in handy, if you’re a Windows user, that is. The app is conveniently called PDF to Word Converter and is made by Quick-PDF software. A single-user personal license is currently on discount at $29.95 and a business single user license is $49.95.

Flixlab’s iPhone app makes video editing social – without actually editing

Flixlab, a brand new iPhone application, is “social video & photo editing” without the need to actually edit anything, you can create and share great movies automatically, add transitions, titles, music etc., all with just a few taps on your iPhone display.

The app basically works by sharing pictures and videos with your friends and family, so if you’re both attending the same event, it will be like covering it from different angles at the same time and then mixing the best video and photos into one single movie afterwards.

Flixlab even automatically recognizes that you and your friend might be shooting the same thing, ie. your friend(s) is nearby, and it will ask if you want to share your pictures and videos with each other, allowing you to setup an “event” which you can then leave once you’re done shooting.

So with Flixlab, you don’t have to ask your friends or family members to hassle with forwarding their content from a recent trip, you can just “use it” via Flixlab and include it in your video. Don’t forget to add some cool transitions and soundtracks, too. Once done, you can tag who ever is in the video so that your video will appear on their Facebook wall, if you decide to publish it to Facebook, which is of course also possible with Flixlab.

Flixlab is the fun and fast way to make great movies with your iPhone – and share them online!

Expand Your Small Business Online the Easy Way

In the early days, if you want to build your own website, you need to know how to use the HTML language, scripts and other programming techniques. It really sounds like it is a difficult and daunting task, and this is probably one of the main reasons why large businesses employ those who are extremely adept in the field of computer programming.

What about you, a certain single individual who would like to start up a small business online? If you have enough money to spare in order to hire someone who can do the “build-my-website” part, then the problem is solved. However, what if you cannot afford to hire someone like that? Give up and let go? That would probably be the outcome.

Actually, there is a solution. To those who would like to start up their own website for their personal or business purposes but do not know how to build one, all you’re going to need is a website builder.

As time passes, more and more businesses are getting into using the Internet as part of their marketing strategy to attract customers and become extremely competitive online. However, many other businesses are still clueless on how to make use of the Internet to their advantage.

There are some businesses that have a website but they are not sure how to make full use of it and they end up thinking that there is no one visiting their site. If your brand is well known already such as that of Apple, Sony or McDonald’s, then the work for web marketing is not that difficult as compared to an unknown brand.

How big a data plan do you really need for your iPhone?

iPhone sales really took off in the Summer of 2008 when the iPhone 3G came out. Then another huge boost came in the Summer of 2010 when iPhone 4 was released. In between we also saw the upgraded 3G, known as iPhone 3GS, but the sales didn’t increase as much as when the “3G” and “4” was released in the Summers of 2008 and 2010.

Depending on where you live, iPhone contracts varies in length. In the US, I believe they are two years. So you’re assigning yourself to the same phone company for two years, unless you pay a fee to get out of the contract early.

Luckily, in my home country (though I don’t live there any more…), the maximum allowed contract length is 6 months. So when you buy an iPhone, you pay more for it than what you would do in the US – but at least the choice of contract is yours after 6 months, so you have the option of switching to a different carrier with better prices or coverage.

You could also look for iPhone SIM card plans that doesn’t require you to buy a new mobile device, in case you’re happy with your current iPhone – or whatever smartphone you might have, of course.

Like, some people buy domain names for investing. If you can come up with a great name, register it and try to flip it later when somebody needs it for a business idea or a product.

Could HTML5 kill Flash for good?

The whole HTML5 vs Flash debate really started with the launch of iPhone worldwide when more and more people became aware that Flash-based websites didn’t work on iPhone. With that, non-flash versions of previously Flash-based websites began to popup around the Internet as more and more people started using iOS devices such as iPhone and iPod Touch.

Then when iPad came about a year ago, Flash almost became world-known since iPad, like iPhone, also did not support flash. I’m sure web companies such as Tampa web design saw an increase in their business as more and more website owners wanted to optimize their website for iOS devices. I believe there are some 100 million iOS devices out there now (iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch) so that’s a big chunk of the Internet to cut-off by relying mostly on Flash for your website, shop, portfolio etc.
