Farm vs. firm

We doubt many farmers go on Facebook to play FarmVille, the social networking site's oddly addictive game about managing a virtual farm. On the other hand, we'll bet that plenty of accountants, auditors and tax pros join CCH Community, the software and research provider's new social networking site. It offers plenty of blogs, discussion forums, information resources and networking opportunities for the profession, as well as updates on CCH products and offerings, and ways to connect with the company. Think of it as FirmVille - only it's not a game, it's keeping up with the trends and information that are crucial to your firm's ongoing success.

Digits Calculator for iPad and iPhone

In our headlong rush into the digital future, we often overlook some of the more useful aspects of the old physical ways of doing things. For instance, it's easier to add a giant column of figures on a computer or calculator than on an old-fashioned, tape-equipped adding machine - but then you have no tape to check when errors crop up. The Digits Calculator for the iPhone and now for the iPad elegantly solves this by giving you a digital tape for double-checking, and goes one better by letting you make corrections and edits directly to the tape, and then automatically updating the total. You can also label items in the tape with comments, e-mail the figures for use elsewhere, and share and back up tape files through iTunes. It just goes to show there's some value in the old ways. Next up: the green eyeshade app, and digital arm garters.
