The iPad Pro, with its optional stylus and keyboard-cover, should be a fine machine to run Microsoft's Office apps for iOS. And it probably will be, but there's a catch. The Office apps on the current iPads offer both viewing and editing documents for free. A handful of features require Office 365 subscriptions, available as in-app purchases, but the core editing capabilities are all zero cost. Install those same apps on the iPad Pro once it arrives in November, however, and all those editing features will go away. Office on the iPad Pro will require an Office 365 subscription for any and all editing. That's because Microsoft defines a 10.1 inch cutoff. Anything below 10.1 inches is a " true mobile device " and as such qualifies for free access to the core editing capabilities. But above that threshold and it's not a "true mobile device" any longer, it's something else entirely, and it will need an Office 365 subscription as a result. Vexingly, while the EULA for the Android … [Read more...] about Want to use Office on your new iPad Pro? Then you’ll need an Office 365 subscription

Resident Evil 7 in VR is a scary but compromised experience
With its launch today, Resident Evil 7 becomes one of the first blockbuster games playable entirely in virtual reality (provided you’re playing on the PS4, that is). In theory, it’s a perfect fit. With its new first-person perspective, absolutely stunningly detailed visuals, and renewed focus on straight-up horror, RE7 is the most immersive Resident Evil yet. And when you strap on a PlayStation VR headset, you should only further be ensconced in this spooky, unsettling world. Unfortunately, there are a handful of compromises that keep the PSVR version from being the ideal way to play. One of the most important compromises comes in the form of the game’s visuals.

But you don’t get that same sense in VR, as the visuals are … [Read more...] about Resident Evil 7 in VR is a scary but compromised experience
