This morning, popular web-based Zoho Writer (just one of many applications in the Zoho Office Suite) received a pretty major update. To refresh your memory, Zoho Writer is a full-featured online word processor. One of its best features is simply the fact that they offer real-time collaboration so that multiple users can be editing one document. Many people love using their service because they offer both online and offline editing, all thanks to Google Gears. Below you’ll find a quick run-through of what’s new:

• Docx Support: As many of you know, Docx is the new file format (What is a .docx file?) introduced in Microsoft Office 2007. Zoho Writer now allows you to export any of your documents as a .docx file.  At this point you can’t import those files, but the option to export them is one step in the right direction.
  
• Thesaurus: If you want your vocabulary to be expanded a bit, you can use the Thesaurus in Zoho Writer. It’s got 10 different languages that you can choose from and accessing the Thesaurus is as simple as right-clicking on a word.  Languages that you can choose from include:
  English, Czech, German, Greek, French, Irish, Italian, Polish, Russian, Slovak
• Enhanced support for Endnotes/Footnotes and Headers/Footers: if you include an endnote, footnote, header, or footer in a document, and you export the document, the format will be retained properly.
• Groups: Previously anytime that you wanted to share a document amongst a group of people, you’d have to enter in all of the recipient’s email addresses.  Now all you have to do is create a group of your friend’s email addresses so that you can quickly share documents. This new feature is especially useful to those of you who share documents regularly.

Overall, the feature we’re most impressed with is the Docx support, simply because it means that they’ll likely have the option to import those files sooner rather than later. Zoho has a long ways to go before they’re able to knock Microsoft Office off of its pedestal, but these changes bring them one step closer and certainly make their loyal users happy.

Watch the video below and you’ll see that this thing is clearly not going to win any land speed records, and with nary a door it’s hardly all-weather compliant. But, the RoboCar MEV from ZMP is more of a research vehicle, a self-driving car that’s built on an electric microcar platform. It uses GPS and a plethora of front and rear sensors to know where it’s going, an evolution of the Linux-powered 1/10 scale model we saw back in 2009. Just, you know, bigger. And pricier. Way pricier. Yes, you can buy one, but you’re looking at about $35,000 for the simplest version, the Type A, which only has automatic speed control. The Type B has steering control as well and costs about $59,000, while Type C is a whopping $84,000 and adds automatic braking control along with a full suite of imaging and intertial sensors. Order now for delivery in about two months — in Japan, naturally.

Online retailer signs a deal to acquire U.K.-based Lovefilm, which rents out films on DVD and via streaming. The deal is expected to close by April.

Or, rather, without a view of any of the catches. $200 is the price that Cowboy Stadium is charging football fans to stand outside. That’s $200 to stare at a TV screen in the plaza outside the east side of the stadium for the duration of the game.

“Several thousands” are expected to watch the game that way, which may well put the total game attendance (the stadium itself holds 93,000) at over 100,000–a number the Super Bowl hasn’t hit since the game was held at Pasadena’s Rose Bowl Stadium in 1987. That stadium also holds the record for highest Super Bowl attendance–103,985 in 1980.

Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the NFL, confirmed with the Associated Press that the set up was a first time event for the Super Bowl. Let’s just hope they can see the commercials from there.

Whoa, this is kind of out of the blue: on top of the Vibrant 4G that we’ve already had leaked ad nauseam (though he refers to it as a “Galaxy S 4G”), T-Mobile USA CEO Phiipp Humm mentioned at an event this morning that the company is preparing an HSPA+ Sidekick — yes, a Sidekick — albeit with Android slotted in place of the defunct Danger Hiptop operating system. For the record, T-Mobile hasn’t had any Sidekicks in its lineup since the middle of last year, though it does own the Sidekick brand — not Danger / Microsoft — and would undoubtedly love to bring it back to relevance. Coincidentally, Mister Android himself, Andy Rubin, came from Danger — so the Sidekick’s starting to follow him around. Kind of like… you know, a sidekick. Both products are said to be “coming soon.”

Update: After the break, spot a picture of what the Sidekick might look like, likely courtesy of HTC — there’s no mistaking that QWERTY keyboard layout.
