As PC World put it—and as Jason detailed in his online identity primer—having a decent-looking personal web site, with blog-like material showing your grasp of topics and general up-to-date skills, is the best defense against anything and everything else a potential employer or contractor might find about you online.
Then again, take a look at how many online realms hiring managers peek into when peeking at you. It's reassuring, if you've put time into cleaning up your online image, and perhaps a wake-up call if you've still got LOLcats littering your photo service pages.
Have you hired someone, or turned someone down, based on their online presence? Been on the receiving end of that kind of judgment? Gripe or brag, as the case may be, in the comments.

In the update for Android's Goggles app, already in the Market, Goggles gets both new language translation skills and a crop function that makes Goggles a lot easier to use when pinning down something in particular. I lack for foreign-language documents around the house, so I loaded up the web site of Der Spiegel, the one German newspaper I know from memory, and started snapping and cropping.
A picture of a laptop screen isn't, in fact, quite the best test case, and slightly metaphorical news cover lines aren't necessarily the best use of a literal translation tool like Google's. So assume that your mileage will vary, but that if you need to know whether a sign says a restaurant is open or closed, you're probably good to go.
Google says at this point that a few languages are covered both ways, and more can be translated to from there:
The first Goggles translation prototype was unveiled earlier this year at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona and could only recognize German text. Today Goggles can read English, French, Italian, German and Spanish and can translate to many more languages. We are hard at work extending our recognition capabilities to other Latin-based languages. Our goal is to eventually read non-Latin languages (such as Chinese, Hindi and Arabic) as well.
The Goggles update is available for Android phones running at least Android 1.6. Tell us what you think of Goggle's new image-based translation tool in the comments.

If you don't plan to have Microsoft Office 2010 installed by this summer (when it's slated for release), you'll want to hold onto PowerPoint Viewer. This version of the program opens up the new PowerPoint 2010 file format, and includes all the bells and whistles, such as the new transitions and video effects of the next edition of the suite. There's a caveat: it won't support embedded online video.
Unfortunately, it's not a portable utility so you can't carry it on-the-go, but it's useful if you don't want to install all of Microsoft 2010. PowerPoint Viewer is a free download for Windows systems only. Are the new abilities in PowerPoint 2010 worth the upgrade, from what you've seen (or tried)?
