Microsoft usually releases a trial version of its software. Office 2013 (Office 365) is no exception and comes with a 30 day preview. However, Microsoft also included a tool that resets the trial time, it can be ran a total of 6 times. This gives us 6 x 30 days = 180 days of free Office 2013. Not too bad for the price! It doesn’t matter when you do the re-arm, so if you aren’t going to be using Office 2013 for a while just wait until you need it....

Recent developments with The Flash solo film, still starring Ezra Miller, could signal Ray Fisher reprising the role of Cyborg in the movie. The Flash has had to go through a longer, more arduous path to get made than most superhero movies, but fans of The Fastest Man Alive were recently greeted with some hopeful news with IT director Andy Muschietti entering talks to direct the film. Muschietti is the latest in what has been a revolving door of directors for Barry Allen’s solo outing, but the addition of Christina Hodson as screenwriter does indicate that the film’s development hell may finally be coming to an end, given her screenwriting role on the upcoming Birds of Prey....
