“Warner Archive Instant is the new streaming service of the Warner Archive (WarnerArchive.com). Film and TV enthusiasts can instantly view hundreds of rare and hard-to-find movies and TV shows, culled from the Warner Bros. library – the largest entertainment library in the world. Now is your chance to discover – and rediscover – rare movies and TV shows you can’t find anywhere else (and some favorites you can) from Warner Bros., MGM, RKO, New Line, Monogram, Allied Artists, Lorimar and more.”
Well…that’s nice. I’m sure there are shows and movies I look forward to seeing…
“…you’ll need Silverlight powered by Microsoft…”
Wait…WHAT???
“…exact technical system requirements for Warner Archive Instant…Microsoft Silverlight installed…”
I’ll pass on this service…because:
Microsoft shuns its own Silverlight
“…Silverlight sites can’t strut their stuff in Windows RT or the Metro part of Win8…”
I’m not a fan of Adobe Flash…and, because Microsoft seems to lack commitment to it, less of one of Silverlight.
Although…they do have Black Belt Jones…
Get the game The Mystery of the Crystal Portal FREE for iOS, Mac, Android, and Kindle Fire through April 1…
About the game:
Meet Nicole Rankwist, a journalist for a small paper in New York in the late 1920’s. After making a huge archaeological discovery, her father mysteriously disappears! Nicole finds his diary and sets off on a quest around the world to track her father down…
As Nicole retraces father’s steps, she will visit seven exotic locations…Striving to unlock fragments of the Crystal Portal key, players will search for hidden objects and solve unique and intriguing puzzles. The seek and find aspect of the game requires players to first find “container items”, which show a menu with more searchable objects. In each location there are special items – pieces of puzzles for mini games which lead to unlocking a partial key for the Crystal Portal. The Mystery of the Crystal Portal has neither time limits nor penalties for random tapping, and there are time-based hints available…
7 Picturesque Settings
22 Levels and Mini-Games
Use pinch to zoom in and out to find all objects
Free hints when you are stuck or buy them to speed up your progress
If you are affiliated with a college, you may qualify for a four-year subscription to Office 365 University from Microsoft…
Though, it appears you must have an eddress that has an “edu” top-level domain.
It can be installed on two computers (Windows or Mac), and some mobile devices.
Office 365 University includes Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Publisher, and Access.
The supported operating systems include Windows 7, Windows 8 and Mac OS X 10.6 or later. But: “…you can install Office applications including Word, Excel, PowerPoint and Outlook on your Mac…” (Based on that statement I assume there’s a chance OneNote, Publisher, and Access will not function on a Mac.)
I read:
“Office 365 University is a four-year subscription for full- and part-time enrolled university and college students, faculty, and staff in accredited institutions…”
As I’m understanding it: you can install it once on two different computers within three years. What if a computer becomes unuseable? Or a licensed user wants to remove the product from one computer, and install it onto another?
——————————————————
The cost of the four-year subscription is only $79.99. Overall, it seems like a great deal to me…
