Microsoft unveils Office for iPad, free for reading and presenting


After years and years of rumors, Office for iPad is finally here. At a press event in San Francisco this morning, Microsoft Office general manager Julia White has unveiled the company’s latest mobile Office app. While Office for iPad was originally rumored for a release in 2012 and 2013, it will be available in Apple’s App Store today at 2PM ET / 11AM PT.

New Billboard charts will track the most popular music on Twitter


Twitter is full of conversations about music, and the company wants those tweets to be important outside the world of the social network. To that end, Twitter has now partnered with Billboard to work on real-time charts that the companies hope will be "the new industry standard for tracking and surfacing the conversation around music as it happens."


The charts will monitor conversations about artists, tracks, and albums, and it will show which top musicians are the most talked about at any given moment. Another chart will highlight up-and-coming acts, many of which stir up buzz on social networks long before they're recognized by major industry players. Once the charts launch in the next few weeks, Billboard will publish them on its...

Can Facebook's best game escape Facebook?


Life is short, and Hero Generations takes that idea to its logical extreme. Each move you make represents a year in your character's life, and so an entire existence lasts just a few minutes — you won't finish your epic quest in a single lifetime. It's a game about choosing between venturing out into the great unknown and making it easier for your offspring to ultimately save the world. Hero Generations first launched on Facebook in 2011, but it was never really a good fit on a platform devoted to time sinks like FarmVille and Bejeweled. "It was really an experiment to see if I could put a game with depth and meaning onto the biggest game market around," says designer Scott Brodie.
