PersonalBrain: A GPS System for Your Information

Link via AppStorm

PersonalBrain 6 ProPersonalBrain is a deep application, and I have not covered all its many features. The developer’s web site is full of informative tutorials and how-to videos that provide a richer understanding of the power of this product.

PersonalBrain is a unique personal knowledge manager, but it isn’t for everyone. If you prefer an information warehouse that you can access when necessary, but otherwise isn’t much on your radar, then you won’t go for PersonalBrain. If you prefer your applications behave Mac-like, you won’t go for PersonalBrain.

But if you like tinkering with your information, and enjoy the process of growing your knowledge base, PersonalBrain might be just what you’re looking for to get 2011 off to a well-organized start. Just like a GPS system that helps you navigate the wilds, PersonalBrain can help you find your way in the jungle of the information that comes your way.

PersonalBrain is available at an educational discount price of PersonalBrain 6 Core $99 and PersonalBrain 6 Pro $179.

Google Sketchup 8 review

Link via PC Pro

SketchUp Pro 8That’s about it for the free Google SketchUp, but users wanting more power can turn to Google SketchUp 8 Pro (US$495). The main advantage of the commercial release is that it goes beyond bitmap and KMZ/DAE output to offer a much wider range of 2D and 3D export options such as EPS, PDF, 3DS, OBJ and FBX. Support has been further extended in this latest release to include the popular DWG/DXF 2010 format.

Pro takes further advantage of the program’s volumetric handling to offer five new tools – Union, Intersect, Subtract, Trim and Split – for creatively combining solid objects. Such subtractive and additive modelling can certainly make life easier, but SketchUp’s system only works with groups and components with no holes and no overlaps. It’s also worth pointing out that users of the free version can achieve the same results if they can to get to grips with the existing Intersect with Model command.

SketchUp has always offered exceptional 3D creativity and version 8’s deeper and wider integration with Google’s online technologies – Earth/Maps, Street View, 3D Warehouse and now Building Maker – make it more powerful than ever.

Google SketchUp 8 is free.

Google SketchUp Pro 8 is available at a student discount price of $49.

Google SketchUp Pro 8 is free for instructors.

Google SketchUp Pro 8 Lab licenses are available at a school discount price of $14.90.

Google elevates PDF reading in Chrome 8

Link via CNET News

Acrobat X Professional Student & Teacher Edition Google helped make Adobe Systems’ PDF files a first-class citizen on the Web years ago by indexing their content with its search engine. Now it’s gone another step by building the ability to read them into its latest browser, Chrome 8, released yesterday for Windows, Mac, and Linux.

That means when people click a PDF link, the document will open directly in the browser. Chrome’s built-in PDF reader is also walled up within a sandbox, lowering the risk that security issues will escape a confined region of memory to facilitate a broader attack on a computer.

Acrobat X Professional Student & Teacher Edition is available at an educational discount price of $119 from Creation Engine.
