People get tattoos commemorating the things they love most: mothers, lovers, pets, flaming skulls, etcetera. But in our spell-check era, it’s good to see someone who appreciates that squiggly red line enough to keep it around permanently. [Neatorama]

It was a long time coming, but Microsoft has finally announced that they will be bringing lightweight versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote online. Like existing services from Google and Zoho, users will be able to use a browser to create, edit, and collaborate on Office documents. The online version is also designed to integrate with the next desktop version of Office, so there are no plans to ditch the software component just yet. However, Microsoft is definitely focusing heavily on the Windows Live experience—as we saw recently with their decision to eliminate bundled email and video editing programs from Windows 7.
The developers of Documents to Go–and Microsoft Office documents editor for BlackBerry, Palm, Windows Mobile, and Symbian–are finally bringing it out for the iPhone. This is going to be an interesting one to see, specially since the iPhone doesn’t have any copy and paste capabilities, which are crucial for editing documents of any kind, being from Word, Excel or PowerPoint. Dataviz says the application is “Coming Soon”… could this mean they are actually waiting for Apple to implement it or they are just developing it so it works within their own Office editor?
