The Cocoa based app will make downloading/uploading shared files easier and will be available as a free upgrade to current Office users later in the year.They’ve also done some work behind the scenes on Entourage, improving its compatibility with Exchange Servers. A public beta will be available later this month, so long as you can stand using Entourage in the first place. It all sounds like a pretty standard response to Apple’s iWork announcement to me, although I’m sure it’s something they’ve been working on for a while now.

We were able to grab the hilarious 100% unedited clip from TMZ before it disappeared.


You all know we are not fans of John–one of Steve Jobs’ favourite pop heads–but having experienced similar situations with family and friends, we absolutely sympathise with his frustration.

OK, you are right. We don’t. [Tumblr -- Video no longer available -- Thanks Benny and Richard]
