Microsoft Office For iOS A Possibility?
Mario must be a pretty busy plumber in the world of hardware and software, considering the number of leaks that he ought to fix that we have seen in our years of covering the technology industry. Heck, even the video game world alone is more than enough to keep him busy. Well, the latest leak that hails from Microsoft’s French support site does have references to “Excel for iPad,” “PowerPoint for iPad,” and “Office Mobile for iPhone”, which would more or less confirm earlier speculation that versions of Microsoft Office for iOS and Android will be rolling out sometime in early 2013.
Microsoft’s French support site has apparently made references to Office for iOS applications which have been incorrectly applied when it comes to support documents. For example, the site noted that a document which has to do with addressing custom numeric formats in Excel has been tagged as applying to Excel 2013 in the US, but on the French site, it was tagged for Excel for iPad. What do you make of this particular rumor?
Have you grown up on a diet full of violent video games? Well, certainly Mortal Kombat is one of those franchises that shocked everyone when it was first released, where digital blood was spilled along the way. It definitely looks tame by today’s standards, but back then, it created quite a buzz in the video game industry, and then some. Having said that, Mortal Kombat X for iOS is now available to download from the App Store, where you can check out the striking graphics in the trailer above.
There will be 24 Kombatants to choose from, which should offer you plenty of opportunities to master all of them, and apart from fan favorites such as Scorpion and Sub-Zero, there will also be newcomers to the scene, Cassie Cage and Kotal Kahn included. Mortal Kombat X for iOS works great across platforms, so that players will be able to unlock content across all platforms as long as they play.
It was in October last year that the folks over at Sprint updated their iPhone for Life plan, where $80 a month would net you an Apple iPhone 6 on lease for a couple of years, alongside a plan that has unlimited talk, text and data. Of course, if you would prefer the larger iPhone 6 Plus, it would cost you from $85 monthly onward. It seems that Sprint intends to push the envelope further – at $100 a month, the iPhone 6, iPad mini 3, unlimited talk, text and data on the phone and 2GB of data for the tablet will be all yours.
If one were to run the numbers through a calculator, you would have to spend approximately $117 monthly, which means Sprint’s recently revealed plan would help you out with a 15% savings in total – that would amount up to $17. Of course, leasing the devices would mean you would need to make sure that your handset is more carefully taken care of than normal, but then again, you will always have the latest products at the end of a 2-year cycle. Not too shabby a deal, don’t you think so?

This unique smartwatch can be picked up from GetHuawei.com, although one can also check out the likes of Newegg.com, Amazon.com and Fry’s Electronics in order to purchase it.

Heck, it will also do its level best to wake you up using its smart alarm when it figures out that you happen to be in the light cycle of your sleep.
Other features include iOS and Android compatibility, NFC support, Bluetooth connectivity, and a 90mAh battery that allows you to make use of your earpiece for up to 7 hours – non-stop, now how about that?
