In a dated but still relevant post, technologist Anil Dash calls out a couple of software apps that no one needs to install these days, like WinZip and "sketchy codec packs." I'd add any software manufactured by AOL, Adobe Reader, and digital camera-specific photo software to that list. (You're better off with 7-Zip, Pidgin, Foxit Reader, and Picasa.) How about you? What dated apps do you uncover on your co-workers' and relatives' computers that should have never been there to begin with? Tell us in the comments.

Brazen Careerist blogger Penelope Trunk describes her experiences in finding a mentor whose knowledge and perspective complement and augment her own—but more importantly, how she kept the relationship from dwindling. One of her key successes in maintaining a mentor came from the man himself:The first time I asked Chris, "What should I be asking you now?" I felt silly. After all, it's a line he fed me. But now I use it with him all the time, and it's actually an invitation for him to tell me what he thinks I'm missing, which is information I wouldn't get if I directed the conversation the whole time.Trunk also advises only contacting your mentors when you know it's easy for them to talk, and keeping them up to date on your career position. How do you successfully utilize a mentor without seeming like a time drain? Share your story in the comments.

ABC News writers recently demanded overtime pay for bringing work home with them—including attending to work-related email on their BlackBerries after hours. The spat between the Writer's Guild and ABC was settled (writers don't get paid for checking their email for a minute, but do for any major work commitments at home), but it brings up an important question: Where's the overtime line when we're all connected to the office via email-enabled cell phones after hours? Tell us what you think. Should you get overtime for putting in BlackBerry time at home? ( polls) Workplaces to see more spats over after-hours work [Yahoo! News] read more »

Tech writer Michael Arrington wishes everyone would stop using voicemail because it takes too much time to listen to a message (versus reading it), and checking traditional voicemail is outside of a computer-based workflow. Arrington goes as far as to avoid voicemail completely—he let his voicemail box get full, and never emptied it so he can't receive new messages. Is Arrington just cranky, or should traditional voicemail die? Or should we figure out ways to make it work, like using voice to text transcription services? Tell us what you think after the jump. Photo by Duchamp. Should voicemail die? ( polls) If you're in the anti-voicemail ca read more »

While Presidential candidate John McCain has openly admitted he's not computer-savvy, the BlackBerry-toting Barack Obama's often seen thumbing away on his gadget during downtime. The New York Times reports that McCain's admission that he's a "Neanderthal" has stirred up fierce criticism amongst bloggers and geeks who want a President who knows what he's doing online. Without getting into a debate about the candidates themselves, how important do you think tech skills are for the Commander in Chief? How Tech-Savvy Should the President Be? ( surveys) Without getting into a political debate about party or candidate, do tell us what you think in the comments. read more »
