) Mind Over Machines Changes its Name to Mindover Software
"Today, most purchasers of accounting software and other business critical applications use an Internet search engine to find vendors," Manzer said. "Having the word 'software' in our name more closely aligns us with common search terms used to find the business software we sell like Sage Accpac ERP, Sage MAS 500 and SageCRM.The name also provides a bridge between old and new. Manzer emphasized: "We really wanted a name that would provide the smoothest transition possible for our customers and prospects. Because our official corporate name has always been Mindover Corp, several of our customers actually suggested we use it instead. So, by keeping a similar look for the logo, creating a single word 'Mindover' and substituting 'Software' in place of 'Machines,' we accomplished our goal with minimal effort."

) IE share slips under 70%; Firefox surges past 20%
Apple's Safari and Google's Chrome also gained in October, with Safari accounting for 7.1% of users -- up 0.6 percentage points -- while Google climbed just 0.1 points.Vince Vizzaccarro, Net Applications' executive vice president of marketing, connected IE's slide -- and Firefox's and Safari's impressive increases -- to a pair of factors.
"The more home users who are online, using Firefox and Safari at home rather than IE, the more those browsers' shares go up," he said. With November including the Thanksgiving holiday in the U.S. and more weekend days this year -- 10 such days, versus an average of 8.7 per month -- users were at home more than usual.
Net Applications' data has consistently shown that Firefox and Safari usage climbs on weekends and after work hours, as users surf from home computers rather than from work machines, which typically run Microsoft's IE. More>>
