We chose to share a video on Microsoft Vision 2019 that impressed in “Minority Report” style as an evolutionary leap into the future, good enough to shame the extrapolating bots.

Alas, things have prompted a relook on our choice since then. Not the message but just the particular example.

We chose to share a video on Microsoft Vision 2019 that impressed in “Minority Report” style as an evolutionary leap into the future, good enough to shame the extrapolating bots.

Alas, things have prompted a relook on our choice since then. Not the message but just the particular example.

We happened to stumble upon an absolutely BRILLIANT, enlightening curve ball of a post by an ex-Apple UI wiz Bret Victor. He too complained about trend extrapolation and then caricatured Microsoft Vision 2019 as an increment of the status quo! Talk about being on the same page and still reading different tea leaves.

But once we finished reading his compelling article, the volte-face ensued. You can check out this groovy post by clicking on his image link below.

As always, Remember Nothing ! Zukmo Everything !

]]> Every new release opens an exciting new chapter for our users, improving their ability to store and manage information with Zukmo. With the rapid release of so many new features and improvements, however, we sometimes find ourselves in a bit of a conundrum with our constantly updated browser buttons.

Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Microsoft Internet Explorer, and Apple Safari go through a rigorous review process to ensure that each update we submit is clean, free of issues, and offers a streamlined, integrated experience with their browser. This, of course, takes time on their end, and until they complete the process and post our update to their site (also automatically notifying you/updating your browser button), our users can sometimes be left without the features that we’ve promised.

We’d like to let you know that any updates to our browser buttons are available immediately after each release. If you’re having trouble accessing any of Zukmo’s functions you can update your browser button from our direct download page

If a direct update doesn’t solve the issue in question please contact us directly at help@zukmo.com. Alternatively, if you have any suggestions about how we can make Zukmo more useful for you, shoot us an email at feedback at feedback@zukmo.com. We’d love to speak to you about them!

Check out the LiveMesh (a Microsoft service) site.

Guess who’s logo prominently features in the homepage?

Apple.

Yes, Apple!

And an Apple Mac, at that. Can’t see it clearly in the screenshot below?

Go ahead, check out the Live Mesh site.

I see this as another example of Microsoft’s new ‘approach’ that we spoke about earlier. Of course, they’re doing it to highlight the cross platform sync capabilities of their application – but a few years ago, you’d have expected Microsoft to pretend that a Mac didn’t even merit ‘consideration’ for their sync application.
