I think I’ve already shared my thoughts on the iPad — the device that will have to create its own market gap, and then fill it, and then prove that it was perfect to fill that market gap.
Now, the idea of using the “tether” function as added towards the middle of 2009 (though not supported well by networks – due to data volumes?) was touted for use with the non-3G enabled iPad (unless you pay your $140 odd for mobile access) where Bluetooth- or USB-based links to a network are suppored. And, of course, for the hoards of people that followed the Apple storm, the iPhone is the logical next step there, in a world of integration and seamless interconnectivity.
But will the iPad support the tethering to the iPhone? Steve Jobs replied quite quickly and succinctly:
No.

Excel 2007 password, cell and sheet protection removal – unprotect/remove password easily

Elmcomsoft has a variety of really good brute-force and dictionary-based password attacks on the full Office suite, including a distributed version to run in the cloud (which I wrote about some time ago). As cool as the software is, it doesn’t allow the removal of cell-based or sheet-based passwords (which kinda sucks), and the password.xla file which seems to be the big thing from staxx.com requires a whole whack of goodies to run on Office 2007 natively.
Enter the same macro that McGimpsey & Associates published in 2004 (reproduced here as per their GPL licence) that removes all internal Excel Passwords: (more…)
