Ribbon Hero 2
| Ribbon Hero 2 Release |      |
You’ve tried games that test your card playing, your virtual farming skills, and your ability to hurl small birds. Now there’s a game that will turn you into an Office Jedi (light saber not included).
Did you know that you can record and insert audio clips in OneNote, or edit photos in PowerPoint with just one click? There are a ton of features in Office that can help you be more productive, organized, and creative. And the best way to discover them is through the new game, Ribbon Hero 2.
That’s right; we turned Office into a game! Ribbon Hero 2 follows the story of Clippy (yes, he’s alive!) and his travels through time as he explores different time periods and tries to get back home. With each time period, the player gets to explore a new game board with challenges they must complete to get to the next level. Each challenge takes the player into Word, Excel, PowerPoint, or OneNote to complete a task. Discover new Office features by actually using them, with a hint button to fall back on in case you get stuck. Race for a high score with colleagues, classmates, and friends, or even put your score on your resume to show off your Office skills!
Come try the latest lightweight game from Microsoft. When you’re done having fun, you’ll realize that you’re also more productive. Learn more and download the game at http://www.ribbonhero.com

PDF to Word Converter
PDF-to-Word is a free service from the Nitro PDF Software team, makers
of Nitro PDF Professional, the first true alternative to Adobe® Acrobat®.
PDF files are a popular way to share documents. That’s because document formatting doesn’t change from machine to machine. And, you can open the files with free PDF readers.

Unfortunately, it is much more difficult to edit PDF files. Adobe Acrobat will do the trick. But, many people don’t want to shell out hundreds of dollars for it.
That’s why I recommend the free PDF to Word. It will convert your PDF files to .DOC or .RTF formats. You can then edit the files in Word or another word processor.
PDF to Word is a snap to use. Start by uploading your file to PDF to Word’s Web site. Select the format you’d like. Then, specify your email address.
You’ll receive an email with your document! In most cases, the conversion is almost instantaneous. Other times, you may need to wait 10 minutes or so for your file.

Online Privacy
Online privacy is one of the hottest topics tohttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifday. Whether it is how tracking companies gather and use your information or protecting your rights and freedoms. SelectOut is here to help enlighten internet users about their choices, the companies that are behind data online, and give users the options choose for themselves.
With large pushes for legislation to regulate the online advertising and tracking industry, many companies are working to become more transparent and user friendly before anything is forced. This is a positive thing for users and SelectOut is working to organize and collect this information while providing options such as the Consumer Opt-Out.
