Internet rains from above... news.nationalgeographic/news/2013/06/130618-google-balloon-wireless-communication-internet-hap-satellite-stratosphere-loon-project/ Interestingly the articles all seem to talk about “remote parts of the globe “ ummm why not start with “rural America?” Apple TV adds SkyTV, WatchESPN, HBO Go and some anime stuff. engadget/2013/06/19/apple-tv/ Key point: You have to have cable subscription to get ESPN and HBO so you can’t cut that cable just yet. Netflix inks contract with DreamWorks Hulu up for sale - thewrap/media/column-post/who-will-buy-hulu-most-likely-internet-giant-cash-28624 - “who’s buying Hulu” articles at least since mid-2011, probably longer History will be made (Again). Matthew Brady to photograph the Civil War X Box One. Internet Connection “Always on” no longer required. huffingtonpost/2013/06/19/xbox-one-always-online_n_3468098.html MS Office for iPhone - Pogue says “Yawn” It only comes with Office 365 You can’t buy the Office Mobile app outright.

From MacWorld Going into settings and turn OFF “Simple Code” brings up a normal keyboard. Type in 5 or more NUMBERS only. When you log in you will see only the big numeric keypad BUT you will now have a longer, more secure passcode. (I am told each additional number adds 10 times the security.) TOM: MS Excel 2010 keyboard shortcuts - officeimg.vo.msecnd.net/en-us/files/149/767/AF102692134.pdf - my favorite is Control (command for Mac) + arrow key to take to you the “edges” of a spreadsheet PICKS: STEVE: Voice Choice.
