Nearly a decade ago, I declared, “Lifelogging is dead,” adding “For now.” Lifelogging is an unfashionable word. But its central idea — using computers as prosthetic memory to remember everything — is appealing. The idea is 80 years old. In a 1945 Atlantic article, Vannevar Bush proposed a memory machine called a Memex. Bush was an American engineer, inventor, and science administrator […]

Adobe Acrobat Studio brings genAI power to PDFs August 22, 2025
Pause to think about it: The PDF is more than 30 years old. Ubiquitous in enterprises, it’s estimated that upwards of 3 trillion are currently in circulation. But the three-decades-old file format, invented by Adobe in 1993, increasingly comes across as static or wonky, particularly as AI-native tools transform the work environment. Adobe is hoping […]
