Microsoft Office suite is world’s most popular software bundle used by millions of people around the world to increase the productivity. The software is so popular that it has the power to bring Microsoft and Apple together in an iPhone launch event. If you use Microsoft Office for your daily work, here’s a great news for you.
As expected, after the launch of Windows 10, Microsoft is ready to roll out the new Microsoft Office suite 2016. The company says that the software will be broadly available from September 22. Here, “broadly” term is used as not everyone will be getting the Office 2016 that day. Users of Office 365 will have to wait a little longer and the customers with volume licensing agreements will get the software on October 1.

Microsoft Office 2016 includes lots of new features for PC users that bring the functionality of co-editing the documents at the same time and syncing the files to OneDrive. This version also brings new themes including a black visual style. 
It should be noted that Office 2016 for Mac was released back in July and the standalone version was slated to arrive in September. The new version of Office for Mac included new features for Word, PowerPoint, OneNote, Excel, Outlook, and Translator to take advantage of the new features of iOS 9, larger iPad Pro and watchOS2.
Apart from the features list, Office 2016 also brings a new update model. The users who are paying for the subscription version of Office for Companies, they’ll also get the Current Branch of update i.e. all the new features and updates on September 22. The company is also bringing Current Branch for Business, which will bring 3 cumulative feature updates per year apart from the monthly security patches. This new Current Branch for Business is aimed at the enterprise.

SoftBank Lands $236M From Alibaba And Foxconn To Bring Its Pepper Robot To The World

By
Remember Pepper,  the intelligent robot that SoftBank unveiled last year ? Pepper goes on sale in Japan this coming weekend, but in advance of that launch  SoftBank has revealed  that Alibaba and manufacturer Foxconn have invested $118 million each in its robotics division. That deal will give Alibaba and Foxconn 20 percent shares in SoftBank Robotics Holdings (known as SBRH), with SoftBank retaining a dominant 60 percent stake. “SoftBank, Alibaba and Foxconn will build a structure to bring Pepper and other robotics businesses to global markets, and cooperate with the aim of spreading and developing the robotics industry on a worldwide scale,” SoftBank said in its announcement. SoftBank isn’t short on money, of course — it is building up quite a portfolio of e-commerce investments across Asia — but its two partners bring know-how, strategy and global networks to the table. So, it looks like Pepper has eventual world domination plans. Or, at least, ...

Visa confirms Coinbase wasn’t at fault for overcharging users

By
Yesterday, we wrote that Coinbase customers were being charged multiple times for past transactions. While some speculated that the erroneous withdraws were down to a Coinbase engineering issue, Coinbase issued a statement saying it wasn’t liable for the duplicate charges. The blame, instead, rested with Visa for the way it handled a migration of merchant categories for cryptocurrencies, Coinbase said. While you can read my post yesterday for an in-depth description of what happened, the basic gist is that Visa refunded and recharged (under a different merchant category) a month of old transactions. Many users saw the recharge come through before the refund processed, making it look like they were double charged. Honestly, the issue was likely exacerbated by existing payment rails — it’s normal for refunds to take multiple days to show up on credit and debit statements. But here’s where it gets weird — this morning Visa issued a statement to some publications shifting the blam...

Five budget-friendly open source storage servers

By
Storage is essential for the enterprise: Data must be stored. Data must be retrieved. Data must be shared. Data must be secured. At the same time, storage must not consume the entirety of your IT budget. Fortunately, you can find effective solutions in the world of open source. Outside of cost effectiveness, one of the biggest benefits of these solutions is the ability to modify them to perfectly fit your needs. You can make minor changes or even roll your own storage solution based on one of these tools. If you want enterprise support and a "solution in a can" that will meet just about any enterprise storage need, you should turn to Red Hat or SUSE. Both Linux-based companies offer some of the most powerful enterprise-ready tools on the market. But if you'd rather get your hands dirty and craft something of your own—something that won't demolish your budget—these five open source tools are a great place to start. 1: ownCloud ownCloud ( Figure ...

Apple Releases First Battery Case To Eat Third-Party Accessory Makers’ Lunch

By
In a surprise move, Apple just announced an external battery case for the iPhone 6s. Named the  iPhone 6s Smart Battery Case , the battery extends the battery life of your iPhone 6s by up to 25 hours. The new accessory is available in black and white for $99 starting today. Let’s start with the design. Apple is using silicone as the main material like on its other cases. The company doesn’t disclose the capacity of the battery except that you’re supposed to get 18 to 25 hours of extra battery. Like third-party battery cases, Apple uses a Lightning male port at the bottom to plug your iPhone. You can charge the case using a traditional Lightning cable — most third-party batteries rely on a microUSB cable. Apple’s accessory also works with the iPhone 6 and it looks like there isn’t a 6 Plus and 6s Plus version. The Smart Battery Case features an unfortunate hump at the back. Mophie’s  Juice Pack  design is a bit sleeker compared to Apple’s official accessory. Apple...
