“An alpha release of standalone Zotero has been announced, part of the larger Zotero Everywhere project. Standalone Zotero Alpha does not require Firefox to run and is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux. Alpha plugins to connect standalone Zotero to the Google Chrome and Safari browsers are already available (a plugin for Internet Explorer is planned).
And I didn’t know there was a chrome plugin either !!
This is a real pain.. while surfing for content on a Security class XP Antivirus installed itself. If continuously nags to say you have virus’s (which are false) and asks for money. It has a believable interface and looks like an actual Microsoft program.

When you launch a Creative Suite 5 application, the application unexpectedly quits with an error report that is similar to the following: (in the windows error box click on the show error link)

One issue / problem I have with students creating electronic storyboards where the scan/photograph/cut and paste images is that the Word documents can become very large. Often there are a couple of offending images that are magically very large. So how can we find them to see where the problem is.
