Apple takes aims at Office Online with iWork for all

Pages, Numbers and Keynote on your PC


Windows users have a new option to rival Office Online after Apple made its entire iWork suite free of charges to non-Apple device owners.
Any PC users wanting to take advantage of the new offering should head over to the iCloud Beta page where you can start using Pages, Numbers and Keynote right away by signing up for an Apple ID.
Each new account comes with 1GB of free iCloud storage and even though it is currently only in beta, its popularity is likely to dictate that it hits the full version of iCloud in the near future.

OneDrive offers more storage

iWork for iCloud debuted back in 2013 and Apple has been steadily adding new features since then including design updates to go along with those made to its OS X and iOS platforms, and various small upgrades to each part of the suite.
In comparison, Microsoft's Office Online suite offers Word, OneNote, PowerPoint, Excel, outlook.com plus 15GB of OneDrive storage for free to anyone that signs up to a Microsoft account.

Why I Wake Up Early (And 9 Reasons You Should Do So Too)

Here are 9 reasons why I say this: 1. Get a head start When you wake up at 5am, you start your day earlier than 99.9% of the world — hence giving you a head start in your day. This creates a feel-good factor, which, while psychological, creates a host of positive effects (especially for reasons #2 and #3 in the list). After all, a good start is half the battle won. It will motivate you to stay ahead so you can maintain or even widen the lead. For example, my modus operandi when I wake up early is to work on the high-impact tasks right away, as opposed to the small, easy but unimportant tasks. I will also think and work effectively, and strive to end my day earlier so that I can have an early sleep, wake up early the next day, and continue my “head start.” On the whole, I’d say that I’m more forward thinking and proactive in managing my tasks — since I have a head start in my day, I naturally think about how I can be ahead in my work too. On the other hand, when I wake up

NASA unveils seasonal dust storm pattern on Mars Improving the ability to predict large-scale, potentially hazardous dust storms on Mars would have safety benefits for planning robotic and human missions to the planet's surface. NASA's Mars orbiters have unveiled a pattern of large regional dust storms occurring at about the same times each year, an advance that may help predict these hazardous events during future robotic and human missions to the red planet. After decades of research to discern seasonal patterns in Martian dust storms from images showing the dust, but the clearest pattern appears to be captured by measuring the temperature of the red planet's atmosphere. For six recent Martian years, temperature records from NASA Mars orbiters reveal a pattern of three types of large regional dust storms occurring in sequence at about the same times each year during the southern hemisphere spring and summer. Each Martian year lasts about two Ea
