Accompanying Office 2010 Beta is Office Web Apps, a light version of Office run on the web. In order to activate and start using it, Office 2010 Beta must be installed beforehand.
Unlike Google Docs, Office Web Apps doesn’t have specific URL dedicated for it at the moment. It use Live Skydrive as the storage of the documents , and launch Office Web Apps to handle the document upon requested by you. The interface view is very simple as you can see on the screen shot above.
Office Web Apps is capable of doing simple editing Office application such as Word and Excel. In my testing however, document editing is currently not available, meaning that you can only view the document that you upload. It’s quite disappointing , but since it still on Technical Preview stage, do not put much expectation to get it fully works.
Via Office Web Apps help page, here is how to activate Office Web Apps.
How to begin using your Office Web Apps in Windows Live
Follow these instructions to successfully begin using your Office Web Apps.

Gone are the days where bling bling, flashy and unfriendly user interface dominating Celcom website. Although it took a little while for them to realize how annoying browsing the old flash-based website, but the newly released design has buried the old memory forever. It’s definitely better in many aspect overall and promise greater browsing experience to the users.
What you’re looking for can be seen just by looking at Celcom homepage. Services, promotions, tools are neatly arranged at the right and bottom of the screen. Clicking on almost each menus will open up new windows that display the mini-site or content detail. I not a fan of this technique, because if you browse it through the mobile phone, it just add unnecessary time to load the page on already slow internet connection.
The page load faster than before as well (I think) if opened from computer, thanks to lesser graphics and other media type. Full flash website is thing of the past, agree?
I do feel the main banner at the center of the homepage is slightly bigger which kinda waste. It should be used to promote the latest product or services instead of the static images showing ‘minah saleh‘ sitting at the fancy chair. Err, why not Malaysian face?
That’s one short review or rant from the long time Celcom customer. Now that’s what I called website.

I finally made myself available for HTC HD2 launch at Boiler Room Hartamas yesterday evening, after missing so many gadget launch. I arrived there at sharp 5.30PM. The place is already packed with quite a number of media folks as well as bloggers. Gadget launch nowadays has many followers and to me, that’s good for out tech industries. More and more people are aware of technology such as smartphones which can help improve productivity significantly if it’s used properly.
Being the first timer to such gadget launch, I even forgot to bring along my Canon EOS 1000D. So sorry, no photos to show you, except the HTC HD2 images in the bag of goodies provided by them.
Just like other events, as usual, it started with talk by the HTC Country Manager followed by the manager from SIS, the company that distribute HTC smartphones here in Malaysia. Then come the part that where most attendees are anticipating; product overview by their engineer. I have go through the lengthy review from GSM Arena beforehand, so I basically have ideas what this HTC HD2 has, if not better.
I left the event after the product overview session end due to other commitment. Anyways, it was a good experience to get to know other people out of the industry that I’m make living for. I don’t have a chance to have hands on with the phone itself, so I would point you again to the review at GSM Arena. MyTechNews was there as well, and he put up some nice photos captured at the event on this post.
The phone would be available by end of November at nationwide retail store with RRP RM2899. Here is the key features, courtesy of GSM Arena

Office 2010 Beta has been made available for download couple of days ago, legally by Microsoft. If you have yet to try the new Office 2010, you can get it from Office 2010 Beta webpage. There are 2 version available for download, one for developer and another one for IT professional.
Be sure that you have Windows Live account as it require you to sign in with Live account to initiate the download process. Along the download steps, you’ll also be given unique MAK key to activate the copy of your download. Failed to do so will make the copy of Office 2010 beta expired automatically.
Although Microsoft recommend removing any previous version of Office, I found that Office 2010 installed successfully along side Office 2007 that I currently have. I can run both version without error, but I can’t tell if there is function broken on both side.
There are tonnes of features to explore, so watch this blog if you would like to know more.
