Microsoft Office 201-3D

Rumours are going around at the moment about Microsoft’s next edition of Office in 2013. It has been said that the suite is going to be released with the 3D capability, so that if the user has a 3D PC monitor, they can, for example, have the text in Word jump out at them. Or, in PowerPoint and Excel, diagrams and pictures would have an even greater effect. Here at Lucid Towers, we think that this could either be a huge winner for Microsoft, however, it could just as easily turn out incredibly bad. Unfortunately, we have yet to wait for these to be confirmed, and if they are true. Even longer to wait for the actual program to come out.

New Visa cards

A new type of Visa card is in development at the moment, only this one is not just a bit of plastic with an electromagnetic strip down the side. This one has an 8 digit digital display and a 12 digit keypad built in, and it’s still only the width of a normal card! The idea is that this new card will combine the standard card that most of us carry around in our pockets with the small chip-and-pin like device some have to use with online banking (known as the 'Verified by Visa' system). This may sound like some form of gadget ready to break the moment you look at it, but tests done across Europe have come back as a phenomenal success and we may all own one in the near future.
