Microsoft has long championed Windows Phone’s Office integration, but there has been a missing piece in that puzzle: an official way to control Office from a Windows Phone. The company is filling that gap today by launching its Office Remote app. The Windows Phone 8 client lets users navigate Excel, PowerPoint and Word on a Bluetooth-equipped Windows 7 or 8 PC, offering slide notes and other cues you’ll need for a big presentation. We can’t promise that managers will be impressed when you steer a quarterly results briefing from your Lumia 1520, but it won’t hurt to grab Office Remote today from the Windows Phone Store.

For those who often give presentations, Kokuyo’s new invention could be a very helpful device. It’s a ring-looking small device called the Finger Presenter “Kokuyoseki” that enables you to toggle between slides on a presentation even if you are far from the PC.

Totally hands-free and freedom to roam the stage away from your PC and no need to assistance from others.

If you have a pencil type laser pointer, it can be combined with “kokuyoseki” and it will immediately upgrade to a high-tech laser pointer that can turn/turn back pages in your presentation.

Apple is taking a different, more cautious tack when it comes to security these days. That doesn’t make it any less surprising that the company is planning to give a presentation at the Black Hat conference: the company will have someone on stage for the first time and won’t just socialize in the corridors. When he takes to the podium on July 26th, platform security manager Dallas De Atley will go into detail regarding iOS’ security measures in front of an audience used to finding a way around them. The company hasn’t said whether that involves current or future technology; we suspect that Apple may be eager to show what iOS 6 brings to the table, however. If it all goes down like Black Hat general manager Trey Ford says it will, Apple may both open up a bit on security and set more of the agenda this week — instead of letting conference goers set it themselves.
