LibreOffice 7.1 beta boasts impressive range of features let down by a lack of polish and poor mobile efforts

LIBREOFFICE SETS NEW PARAMETERS FOR BLOATWARE

Horrible software. Software designed by a committee. It needs to focus on ONE thing and do it well. It doesn't need all these functions. Look at Zoho's Notebook for example. Simple, easy to use and aesthetically pleasing. Notebook is cross platform and runs on just about anything.

Apple's 16GB iPhones are a big fat lie, claims iOS 8 storage hog lawsuit

Apple snaffles travel app in quest for way out of Maps debacle

NOTHING WRONG WITH MAPS APP

There never was anything wrong with the Apple Maps App.

I think the fuss was started by Google.

Sure there were a few bent bridges and so on, but I never used that view, so it didn't bother me. I live in Okinawa where there are no addresses and very complicated streets, so I desperately need something to guide me. I hook up my iPhone through the car stereo and use Siri and Maps to get around. It hasn't failed yet.

It's MUCH easier to use than the Google app. It also ties in with your address book, so you don't need to futz around reentering stuff like you have to with the Google app.
