Q: After sticking with Office 2003 for the last decade and a half, I decided to take the jump into Office 365 and installed it earlier this week. But after a few days, I’m seriously considering uninstalling and going back to old reliable Office 2003 because the Office 365 apps are so darn slow. Word takes two or three minutes to open. I literally click it and walk away from my computer because I can’t stand just waiting and waiting for it to open. Once it finally opens it works, but is a bit sluggish. I never had this issue with 2003. What do you think? Should I give up and go back to 2003? Or is there something I can do to speed up 365? I’m running a Lenovo Y-580 laptop with an Intel i7-3610 processor and 8 gigabytes of memory, a 7200-rpm hard drive with 130 gigabytes of free space. My Windows 10 is up to date with all the latest and greatest. — Larry Vogel A: There are quite a few things that could be causing that slow performance. For starters, how fast is … [Read more...] about Why your Office 365 apps may be running ‘so darn slow’

Year-round contemporary comes with 365 feet on Lake Arrowhead
LIMERICK – Most homes are simply built. A special few are created. Here is one of the latter. The sterling lakefront contemporary “dates” from 1990, but has not dated at all. Over the past 20 years, the second-owner sellers carried out extensive updates and improvements (kitchen and both full baths, for example) that keep the home feeling as fresh as today.In recent years, the partially wooded 1.5 acre-lot has been selectively opened up, and beautifully landscaped and hardscaped. All around the gently sloping lawns, sun and shade gardens filled with perennials are proclaiming the arrival of spring, everywhere you look. That is, if you can take your eyes off the setting’s other magical element: 365 feet of frontage on the east shore of Lake Arrowhead, in a secluded location that, having very few houses and seeing little boat traffic, may well be the lake’s most desirable. On the frontage are a small, rudimentary dock that’s perfect for putting in a … [Read more...] about Year-round contemporary comes with 365 feet on Lake Arrowhead
POLITICO Playbook, presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co. – 365 DAYS to election — HOW FOX will try to shame CNBC – POLITICO’s booming Europe arm expands: financial services vertical, bigger London bureau, top hire from WSJ – B’DAY: John Harris, Sarah Flores
By Mike Allen (@mikeallen; [email protected]) and Daniel Lippman (@dlippman; [email protected]) Story Continued Below Good Monday morning, Debate Eve! ONE OF THIS CYCLE’S BIGGEST WORRIES for political practitioners – and potential perils for elite media: Polls are getting less reliable, at the same time they’re ever more influential – driving coverage and perceptions, and knocking legit candidates off the debate stage. Jill Lepore tackles the problem in The New Yorker with “Politics and the New Machine: What the turn from polls to data science means for democracy”: “A typical response rate is now in the single digits. Meanwhile, polls are wielding greater influence over American elections than ever. ... “Trump is a creature of the polls. He is his numbers. But he is only a sign of the times. Turning the press into pollsters has made American political culture Trumpian: frantic, volatile, shortsighted, sales-driven, and … [Read more...] about POLITICO Playbook, presented by JPMorgan Chase & Co. – 365 DAYS to election — HOW FOX will try to shame CNBC – POLITICO’s booming Europe arm expands: financial services vertical, bigger London bureau, top hire from WSJ – B’DAY: John Harris, Sarah Flores

CBS News Logo Microsoft Office Mobile now available for the iPhone
NEW YORK Microsoft's Office software package is finally available for the iPhone, and that's a huge plus for those working on-the-go. Starting on Friday in the U.S. and rolling out to the rest of the world next week, the technology giant is offering people the ability to read and edit their text documents, spreadsheets and slide presentations without having to sit in front of a computer. Office Mobile for iPhone -- officially called Office Mobile for Office 365 subscribers -- is available free through Apple's app store, but an Office 365 subscription is required to use it. The service lets you use Office on up to five Mac and Windows computers for the annual fee of $100, which can make it more expensive than buying the package outright for just one or two computers. However, the iPhone version won't be sold separately for those who resist the recurring fee. "We don't view this as a standalone app," Chris Schneider, a marketing manager in Microsoft's Office division, told CNET. … [Read more...] about CBS News Logo Microsoft Office Mobile now available for the iPhone
