Office 2010: the most interesting A
Office 2010: the most interesting A
Following a tradition firmly established, Microsoft will release the new version of its office suite Microsoft Office 2010Shortly after or simultaneously with the latest version of Windows (in this case, Seven). The changes promise to be remarkable, although not as radical as those that marked the transition from version 2003 to 2007.
In these years, Office has had to contend with the rise of web applications (such as Google and Zoho), Dissatisfaction of users toward the excessive consumption of resources, increased media and formats and standards battle, Which has led the Service Pack 2 Office 2007 introduced support for PDF and OpenDocument.
The highlight of Microsoft Office 2010 will no doubt Office Web Applications, A free web version of the suite programs. Still, the preferred environment of Office will remain on your Desktop, and that no changes have been expected. We show some of the most striking developments of the Office to come.
We tested the Technical Preview 14.0.4006.1010. The number 13 has been avoided by mere superstition (Office 2007 corresponded to 12.0). It consists of nine applications: Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access, Outlook, Publisher, OneNote, SharePoint and InfoPath. The size occupied on disk is about eight megabytes for a typical installation. Note that there will be 64-bit version.
A ribbon who knows Seven
Microsoft always tries to maintain some consistency between the look of the operating system and its flagship programs. Although keep the tab bar ribbon, introduced in the previous edition, Office 2010 becomes more discreet color and a design that fits more with Windows 7
The classic titanium gray color linking the new Office button, which helps to quickly identify each application of the suite. Improved appearance, moreover, does not seem to affect the consumption of resources as in 2007. Thanks to the "diet Seven", the new Office is faster and lighter.
Completely redesigned Office button
In the 2007, the Office Button was a wide menu that could eventually cover a significant portion of the documents. The back button takes this trend to the extreme, completely replacing the edit view for an elegant menu from which to make the save and open operations, open templates, printing or sharing documents:
El nuevo Boton Office
After the initial shock (Where have you gone to my document?), It is easy to see the advantages of this compared to the previous menu. Not only have more space options, but the number of dialog boxes is reduced dramatically, without having to navigate through delicate floating menus.
Outlook learns the lesson of G-Mail
Outlook takes, finally, the style ribbon common to other Office programs. Any changes aimed at improving the organization and reduce the typical chaos of post office, appointments and tasks. Proof of this is the storage system for conversations, similar to G-Mail:
Nuevo Outlook
The schedule looks more neat, and button bars show only the most used functions. Among them, interestingly, are the voting buttons. If you need to concentrate on the essentials and ignore irrelevant trifles and text, Clean Up tool activates a summary view of your mail in which are hidden redundant parts of the mails. Ideal for endless series of responses.
More power to the Cut-and-paste
Arguably, cut and paste text is the fundamental operation of any program office. But the content can be copied has varied greatly. The text format is taken from a web page or other application can severely disrupt the layout of a document. Luckily, Office 2010 has Paste preview.

Apple has patented 3D projection method
Apple has patented 3D projection method
Apple is a projection method for three-dimensional images has registered. The viewer must wear no glasses to see the 3D effect.
The U.S. Patent No. 7,843,449 describes how the pixels of the image on a reflective, textured surface can be projected. There, they radiate so that the left and the right eye of the beholder receive different signals, which produces the stereoscopic effect. The system also determines the location of the viewer, so that multiple people can view from different angles, the 3D projection.
The aim of the technology are now, according to the published patent description "affordable, on its own three-dimensional displays that give the viewer complete freedom of movement". It does away with different colored glasses, making it not necessary that the audience remain seated at a defined point.
Interestingly, one of the patent application for the drawbacks of existing 3D display techniques, including Parallel view and Holograms. Probably uses the same view Nintendo's next portable console 3DS. Because of the angle difference between the two eyes are each given pixel hidden, so, again, no glasses are necessary.
A hologram-like technology and share the other hand, 3D TV as the Toshiba one. To generate a two-dimensional image in real time, nine angle corrected versions that combine through the television projection to a 3D view. The spectators must remain in his seat but, like Apple criticized. Moreover, the method is extremely computationally expensive.
As with many new patents can also be derived from this is not soon appearing product. The request also comes from the year 2006.
