News reached the world-wide-web last week that Microsoft Office 15 had reached the Technical Preview stage, and that a beta would be available this summer.  That’s all we know about the company’s next generation integrated Office suite at the moment except that the company in a recent blog post said that “Office 15 is the most ambitious undertaking yet for the Office Division”.  What I wanted to do here was have a look at what this is certain to mean and some of the other things it really should mean if done properly. It is a given at this point that full support for both Office 365, Microsoft’s SkyDrive cloud storage service and the next generation Windows Server 8 will be included.  This will include new features that will be coming for Windows Server this year that we may not yet know about.  It will also possibly mean that there is multi-platform support for things like Windows Phone, Windows 8 Metro and tablets.  This is something Microsoft have always been very good at… or have they?

Wacky it may seem, but a USB has been developed which incorporates a small but handy speaker. This USB is a new thing round the block and has a wide range of uses. Advertisers think this USB to be as a handy device as it incorporates a small but quite useful feature which the other USB don’t boast of, the speaker. This eNECESSITIES flash drive can seize a sound clip (in WAV, AIFF, or MP3 formats) which may be 10 to 20 seconds in length and will be played automatically the instant it is plugged into the computer’s USB port.
