Microsoft recently released a new version of Outlook for Mac OS X users, for those with Office 365 subscriptions. Office for Mac was last updated in 2011, marking the first time Mac users had a version of the Outlook mail, calendar scheduling, and contact management application.

Despite my dismissal of Office for iPad as “too little, too late“, users appear to be flocking to the new app. The Seattle Times reports twelve million downloads in the mere seven days since launch. Sure, just because someone downloaded an app doesn’t mean said app is being used. It also doesn’t mean even those […]

In a long-anticipated move, Microsoft has released a version of the ubiquitous Office Suite for iPad. Yes, now anyone can edit Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents on an iPad. Of course, you always could. Off the top of my head, there’s Apple’s iWork solution, now free with new iOS devices. Plus, there’s Google’s Drive solution […]

On The Cheap: iWork Online Beta Opens To The Public

Life in an always on world has led to interesting solutions and to problems we didn’t even know we had. One of my favorite examples is Google Drive (formerly known as Google Docs), an online word processor that saves as you go, ties into other Google services. Most importantly, it’s free. Drive actually came from […]

Mordechai Osdoby — Tue, 02 Jul 2013 17:48:13 +0000

For the unfamiliar, Microsoft TechNet is a program aimed at IT professionals. There are assorted benefits, but the main reason to snag it is software. Oh, the glorious software! You can basically download and install just about every Microsoft consumer OS, server OS, and productivity application ever. That means when a new OS version comes […]

Privacy. Perhaps the most central worry to putting our lives out on the internet, the issue of privacy within email, social networking, and search has been put on center stage once again with Google’s revision and unification of its myriad privacy policies across services. Google’s new privacy policy, which will apparently have the same user […]

Every night at 12:15 AM Pacific, Amazon gives away a free paid app through their Amazon app store. As I am usually awake at 12:15 AM Pacific, why not let you know if today’s app is useful, or just more clutter in your app drawer? Today’s free app is Cubicle Golf by Plow Digital, Plow Games which usually […]

Tablets Versus Netbooks, Part II

M. Gilden — Fri, 08 Jul 2011 14:45:34 +0000

Click here to read Part I. Can a tablet be used to replace a netbook? As a regular netbook user (specifically an Acer Aspire One), my proposed experiment was to try and spend a week using a Viewsonic G-Tablet (chosen because it’s roughly the same price as the Acer) running Android instead . Now that […]

It’s Like Google Docs, But You Pay For It

Mordechai Osdoby — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 14:04:24 +0000

You may have missed it, but Microsoft has been running a beta of their own online office suite, called Office 365, for the last year. Yesterday, it officially lost the beta tag. There are some great features, but here’s the catch – unlike Google Docs, you pay for Office 365. To be honest, my first […]
