Microsoft Office for Ipad

Sooo i came across some information that I found to be VERY surprising, since most people are familiar with the MICROSOFT vs. APPLE feud. Microsoft has decided to release microsoft office for ipad in the app store. How this came about I have no idea since microsoft has always been so protective of their office product. They decided to make every office program into a separate app. So there is a separate app for (word, excel, powerpoint etc.). This is great news for people that own ipads since now they can pretty much turn their ipad into a laptop, all you would need to do is add a keyboard to it. Apple had a version of these apps before called Office Mobile for iPhone but this new version that was recently released offers much more features. Now the only downfall with this is that to unlock the full potential of these applications you do need to have a subscription to office 360. you do however get full access to OneDrive (a.k.a. 'skydrive') as well as the ability to read Word, excel and powerpoint files on the free version. Once you purchase the office 360 subscription you unlock the ability to create and edit documents. As for me i will stick to google docs as it is free for now. :)

For all of you apple fans



Hello guys! well this week's post im going to focus on all of the products that apple will be unveiling. Now i'm going to be honest I don't really keep up on apple's products all that much but it was interesting to find out about some of the products that they will be releasing. First off they have refined iOS 7.1 (which is the latest operating system on iphones) They have changed the screen that displays an incoming phone call and they have refined the calendar view. They are currently working with 2 other companies to try to perfect their maps app since google no longer lets them use the google maps app. Apple is also going to release a new version of the apple TV featuring a camera on the front that will allow you to use hand gestures to swipe through music and movies. Hand gestures will also allow you to type on the keyboard; I can't wrap my head around how they propose this will work but I guess we will just have to wait and find out. The third thing that was mentioned is the touch less integration they will be adding into the new 2014 car models. Apple will also be working with pioneer to add the touch less controls to pioneers aftermarket units as well so it won't leave out the people that do not want to buy a new car just to get these features.
