Microsoft releases Office 2016 for the Mac, sort of

Microsoft isn’t really everyone’s cup of tea with some of the drastic measures taken to its mobile division lately. The company is clearly on a roll in reinventing its approach to the software business, and we’ve seen it in the way it neglects its own platform for some early product launches for competitors.

No, Apple didn’t just accidentally confirm OS X is coming to the iPad

Right now, Apple’s managing two markedly different platforms, as its mobile devices are powered by iOS (which we’re including watchOS under), and its proper computers powered by OS X. But for a while now we’ve been wondering if Apple might be ready to start blurring those boundaries, and if the rumored jumbo-sized 12.9-inch iPad could run some variant of OS X – not unlike how we see Windows tablets running the same operating system as Windows PCs. Now there’s a new trademark ...
