Looks like the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 is in the wild and the first user reviews are starting to show up. Fujitsu sent Sam Glover over at Lawyerist a S1500 and he has done a great review of it, including a comparison of his old S500 with the new S1500. Like I said in the video [...]

Though I am neither a lawyer nor live in Delaware, I’ve been enjoying some of the posts on the Delaware Employment Law Blog written by Molly DiBianca.

In the past I have posted about how to use Japanese ScanSnap drivers, and have posted that the new Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 and S1500M will be cross-platform, but what if you don’t want to mess around with foreign drivers or have an older ScanSnap scanner? if you have access to a Windows XP CD, there [...]

Mike Elgan over at Computerworld has written a pretty good article about taking the paperless concept out of the office and into his every day life. It’s a good overview of how he does it and the tools that he uses. There are some DocumentSnap favorites in there. As a kind of “lifestyle experiment,” I’ve [...]

Reader T. Joseph Carter wrote in the following question about using a MacBook Air (with only 1 USB port) and a ScanSnap S300M. I’m considering a ScanSnap S300M to carry with me–but the laptop I carry is the MacBook Air, which has just one USB port. It’s much higher power than the average USB port [...]

Update: It now looks like the ScanSnap S1500 and S1500M are now on Amazon! As you may have seen, Fujitsu posted a press release yesterday saying that the Fujitsu ScanSnap S1500 (for PC) and ScanSnap S1500M (for Mac) are now released. My main question was – will they be cross-platform like most USB devices? In [...]

If you’re a small business that has to deal with a lot of billable expenses, this might be a great solution for you. Shoeboxed, a company that lets you digitize receipts and business cards, and FreshBooks, which is a web-based way to track time and invoice clients, have made a pretty cool integration between their [...]

While some have said that this is a sign that the online backup market is not sustainable, both Mozy and Carbonite have been clever and used it as an opportunity . Nate from Mozy [...]
