Using H&R Block Online

After having used various tax filing apps, I found using H&R Block's web-based software to be easy and intuitive. Designed for Canadians, one can choose between English and French applications, the program even lets you know what you should prepare beforehand as well as gives you the option to import last year's information from your TurboTax or UFile program which is very convenient for users of these paid services.

Most importantly, I found the visually intuitive  step-by-step instructions easy to follow and whatever early reservations I had about filing my own taxes online or through software, were slowly but surely put to rest. Best of all, I was able to file my taxes accurately using only my PC's browser without needing to install any software or plugins.

Ten One Design launches 'Force Touch' enabled Inklet app for new Apple trackpad

One of the bigger innovations released by Apple this year is the Force Touch trackpad in the upcoming MacBook and new MacBook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display. Force Touch enables pressure sensitive drawing much like some standalone drawing tablets, it also has force-feedback that simulates button presses.

Available today for $24.95, Inklet 1.6 is the first third-party drawing application to add Force Touch support. It allows any Mac drawing program to gain pressure-sensitive input, and can be used with either a stylus or just a fingertip. This opens up a whole new range of functionality for marking up documents, creating accurate sketches or even just signing documents and PDFs right on a compatible Mac's trackpad. Here's hoping more developers create apps that make use of this innovation.
