Last week Bennett reported F2Q07 earnings to Wall Street, touting “Intuit delivered another solid quarter with revenue and non-GAAP EPS above the high-end of our guidance range.” No thanks to Google, apparently. |
I would tell you its still early and we haven't seen a huge lift on that yet. |
Not so fast, I concluded, literally. |
What’s more, Google’s new productivity application nemesis Microsoft, is enjoying favored status within QuickBooks, but not Google Apps. |
QuickBooks breaks the language barriers between your favorite applications, so you can share data seamlessly instead of tediously copying or retyping it. |
Simply download the QuickBooks Contact Sync tool from our website and a "synchronize" icon will be added to your Outlook toolbar. Just click once on this icon whenever you want to sync customer, vendor or job information between QuickBooks and Outlook. |
Quickly pull information such as large groups of customers, vendors, and inventory items into QuickBooks. Or use your company data from your QuickBooks reports and export it to new or existing Excel spreadsheets with all Excel formulas and formatting intact. |
QuickBooks comes with a variety of customer and vendor letters that you can create using Microsoft Word that merge information from QuickBooks, such as customer name, address, and current balance. Select a group of customers or vendors in QuickBooks, choose a template, and QuickBooks merges the data to create a letter ... |

- Immediate and permanent ceasefire: there must be an unconditional halt to rocket attacks by Hamas on Israel and an end to Israeli military action. |
The cessation of fighting should allow lasting and normal opening of all border crossings, as provided for in the 2005 Agreement on Movement and Access.

The European Union is more determined than ever to assist alongside the other members of the Quartet and the region’s states in ending violence and re-launching the peace process. In this respect, it has been agreed that a European ministerial delegation will travel to the region shortly. |
After a lengthy standoff, Congress is poised to reimpose a moratorium on taxing Internet access. |
After more than a year of leaving the threat of new state- and city-levied taxes looming over Internet access providers and online merchants, Congress is poised to reimpose a moratorium on taxing Internet access. |
The House and the Senate reached a standoff months ago on how to prohibit taxes that could dampen e-commerce. The House approved a permanent moratorium last year covering a broad range of Internet-based services, while the Senate passed a temporary moratorium authored by Sens. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., and George Allen, R-Va.... |
"Although we prefer the permanent extension, . . . we believe it is time to resolve this issue," said Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif., upon calling for a compromise. "For over one year, ISPs and consumers have had to deal with the very real possibility that all 50 states could tax Internet access. We cannot continue to allow thi... |
The Senates opposition to the House-passed permanent moratorium was fueled by states that were worried about losing telecommunications tax revenue as voice traffic moves to the Internet. A handful of states have imposed taxes on digital subscriber line services, deeming it a telecom service. Some other states began tax... |

States had strong allies in former governors-turned-senators, including Tom Carper, D-Del., and Lamar Alexander, R-Tenn., who fought the moratorium on the grounds that the Internet is no longer a nascent technology that merits protection from Congress. The Congressional Budget Office estimated that a permanent access b... |
Both camps dug their heels in for the past year, but this week, much of the telecommunications industry joined with online giants such as Amazon and eBay to urge Congress to break the gridlock during this years lame-duck session, warning that some states and cities were preparing to impose taxes as high as 15 percent p... |
The compromise reached gives states already collecting Internet taxes two or four years to phase them out. It also clarifies that the moratorium does not apply to state or local taxes on telecom services. |
"This compromise balances well two important principles: federalism and free markets," Alexander said. "It temporarily bans state and local taxes on Internet access while doing minimal harm to state and local governments." |
President Bush was expected to sign the legislation once passed. |

Rotorua Girls' High School's newest principal is looking forward to connecting with the community and working with mana whenua. |
Sarah Davis started as principal this week and said returning to Rotorua was like "returning home". |
She was born in Rotorua and lived here until about age 8 before moving to Whakatāne. |
Davis was deputy principal of Girls' High for two years from 2000; her first senior management role. |
"I'm looking forward to being back in Rotorua community and back in the school I'm familiar with. |
"I'm also looking forward to the possibilities that come with living in Rotorua. The town seems to be on the move." |
Davis, who started teaching in the 1990s, said her focus in the coming months was on establishing connections. |
"I'll be getting to know the community and community leaders, hearing what people have to say, having lots of conversations and talking about what people in the community would like in the school and responding to the needs we have around us. |
"I don't have any doubts there's a lot of work to do but people are here to help." |
Davis comes from more than seven years as principal at Timaru Girls' High School preceded by more than six years as deputy principal at Tauranga Girls' College. |
She said being in management at all girls' state schools hadn't been planned but she enjoyed it. |
"The top science student is a girl, the top athlete is a girl, there's no barrier in terms of opportunities to grow and learn. |
"I like the fact we are a special character school that can support any student of any ability and level to do the best they can as young women," she said. |
"I love the bicultural aspect of the school, it's something I grew up around and I'm looking forward to working alongside the mana whenua." |
Davis was also looking forward to marking the school's 60th reunion. |
"We'll pay respect to the past in order to go forward. |
"We're bringing people together to think about the next part of the journey of our school." |
Davis will be formally welcomed to the school with a pōhiri on January 29. |
Surf around the Internet and you’ll find plenty of preseason buzz about LSU. |
But it’s not the football team generating the buzz, it is the men’s basketball team. |
While LSU football is outside of the top 25 of most preseason college football publications, the same can’t be said about LSU basketball. CBS Sports’ early preseason college basketball top 25 has LSU checking in at No. 19. The Tigers are behind fellow SEC members Kentucky (1), Tennessee (4), Auburn (10) and Mississippi... |
There is good reason for the summer optimism toward LSU basketball. |
Second-year coach Will Wade had a competitive Tigers team that was 18-15 overall and 8-10 in the SEC last year. The Tigers won an NIT game against UL Lafayette before losing at Utah. |
Then, Wade added a recruiting class ranked third nationally in 247sports’ composite rankings, trailing only Duke and Kentucky. His class includes two five-star recruits in 6-foot-9 power forward Nazreon Reid and 6-7 power forward Emmitt Williams. LSU also added four-star recruits Ja’Vonte Smart, a 6-4 combo guard, and ... |
“We’re excited about our returning guys and the progress that they have made (and) getting the newcomers moving in the right direction as well,’’ Wade said on the SEC’s summer basketball teleconference. |
If there is pressure on LSU’s heralded recruiting class to deliver immediately, Wade doesn’t seem to be fazed. |
He’s seen enough since their arrival on campus to feel confident in the group’s ability to live up to the hype. |
In just a short time on campus, Wade has seen different traits emerge from his young players. |
The good news for LSU is the Tigers’ success won’t solely depend on the young players. |
The Tigers return a pair of double-figures scorers from last season’s team — guard Tremont Waters (15.9 ppg) and Skylar Mays (11.3 ppg.) Also returning are guard Darryl Edwards (6.8 ppg), forward Wayde Sims (5.6 ppg) and guard Brandon Rachal (4.4 ppg). |
“I think we have a good mix of obviously talented newcomers and young guys, but if we’re going to be a really good team this year, a lot of it is going to be on the shoulders of guys who were in our program last year,’’ Wade said. |
Waters leads the group of returning players. |
He tested the NBA Draft waters before returning to LSU for his sophomore season. Wade said the process has been helpful in Waters’ development. |
It is the same way Wade wants his team treating the summer workouts. |
“We’re working hard and making some progress,’’ he said. |
The burden of preserving electronic records as potential evidence will fall to CIOs. |
Digital evidence is starting to become a decider in the success of legal actions in Ireland, but many companies here are still struggling to understand the issues involved and its implications for them. |
This will be the subject of a two-day conference to be held in Dublin next month. The E-Discovery Ireland conference will highlight the importance of electronic records which organisers say are becoming central to a range of situations, from lawsuits and criminal cases, to employment disputes and government investigati... |
Ireland is not at the same level as the US, where there have already been high-profile cases setting precedents in electronic discovery, notably Zubulake vs UBS Warburg. “There have been no cases involving household names but there have been some in the High Court and the commercial courts,” said Owen O’Connor, managin... |
Illustrating the growing importance of electronic evidence, last week the Central Bank issued a call for a framework agreement on IT forensics. It is seeking between three and five suppliers with expertise in e-discovery to help the bank’s Enforcement Directorate in identifying, preserving, collecting, processing, revi... |
The conference is intended to bridge the legal and technology issues, bringing together barristers and solicitors with CIOs and directors of IT. “IT are fairly heavily burdened with the digital evidence issue,” said O’Connor. |
The e-discovery issue also affects Irish companies that are listed in the US, as they could be automatically hit with requests from the Stock Exchange or a regulator. In the same vein, Irish companies doing business in the UK will also be affected by that Government’s new bribery act and this subject will be covered at... |
The conference will also explore the state of the law in Ireland and will ask whether a change in legislation could benefit Ireland Inc by ensuring cases involving e-discovery move through the courts faster, with more predictable outcomes. |
Currently in Ireland, there is no obligation to preserve digital evidence at the start of a case and O’Connor said there is still a debate to be had over where the balance falls between the need for justice and the need for business to function without additional administrative red tape. |
E-Discovery Ireland 2011 is being held in Dun Laoghaire, Co Dublin, on 6 October. More information is available at the conference website. Although the full lineup hasn’t been finalised, it is scheduled to include speakers from UK specialist lawyers Pinsent Mason and DLA Piper, the world’s largest legal firm. |
Subjects to be covered include e-discovery in the Irish courts, experiences of e-discovery and digital evidence in Irish litigation, digital evidence in the criminal context, challenging digital evidence and managing complex e-discovery projects. |
The company behind the conference, Cernam, specialises in gathering digital evidence from online sources. According to O’Connor, this is an increasing part of digital investigations given the amount of information people post in social networks, or on cloud computing services, like Google Docs. |
Cernam is based at the NovaUCD business incubation facility and its first product, Capture and Preserve, is currently in beta testing ahead of a full launch anticipated later this year. The company is planning to hire more staff and take on external investment around the same time. |
