As Flash SWFs get more ubiquitous, there’s a need for a tool that helps you organize and reuse your content. InstantFX SE Flash Browser / Transformer is one such product – apart from being a Flash SWF browser, it also includes an internal Flash SWF library. In addition, it plugs into Microsoft Office applications like FrontPage and PowerPoint so that all these SWFs can be inserted into web pages or slides with one click.
In this review, we’ll explore the PowerPoint add-in option that allows you to browse and edit Flash clip art, SWFs saved on your system, and even SWFs that can be found in your browser cache!

It’s 9:30 in the morning and you’ve made it to the third presentation of today’s marketing meeting. The presenter is pretty much reading word for word from a deck of 40 slides, which are mostly densely worded, bulleted items with an occasional chart or graph thrown in. You have no interest in the topic, and to keep from falling asleep during the next 30 minutes, you are taking this opportunity to proofread some documents for a pressing deadline.

The end of the tech rivalry was foreshadowed by Apple’s announcement that the company would be moving its Macintosh computers to Intel-based systems.

But neither Steve Jobs of Apple nor Microsoft’s Bill Gates gave us any hint that their companies would cooperate on such a combination — even though for years they have been in “coopertition” — a combination of cooperation and competition.
David Radin examines the curious connection between Apple and Microsoft on the Post-Gazette site.
