Skip Microsoft 365 Fees: This Microsoft Office 2021 Download Is Just $49.97
If you're tired of paying monthly for Microsoft 365, there's a cost-effective solution. You can make a one-time purchase and get a license to Microsoft Office Professional 2021 for just $49.97 (Reg. $219.99) through StackSocial. That means no recurring fees — just unfettered access to the Office tools you use most.
This license includes full versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, Teams, OneNote, Publisher, and Access, all downloaded directly to your Windows PC. Unlike the cloud-based Microsoft 365 suite, these programs are installed locally, so you won't need an internet connection to use them. And because it's a standalone purchase, you won't be impacted by Microsoft's future subscription price hikes or feature rollbacks.
It's also a great option if you rely on apps like Publisher or Access, which aren't included in all newer subscription tiers. This license ensures you'll have the software you need without worrying about losing access due to changing plans or annual costs.
Keep in mind: this license is tied to one PC. If you get a new computer, you'll need a new license. But for the lifetime of your current device, it's yours to use with no strings attached.
Get a Microsoft Office Professional 2021 license for just $49.97 (Reg. $219.99) and enjoy reliable, full-featured software without monthly payments.

Is the console war over? Next-gen Xbox could be aiming at PCs, not PS6
The APU powering the next Xbox could help it compete with pre-built PCs. That's what the experts at Digital Foundry discuss in the latest episode of their DF Direct Weekly podcast (via Wccftech). Digital Foundry notes that the leaked 'Magnus' APU image that we previously reported on reveals a chip that's very different from past and current console APUs like the ones powering the PS5 and Xbox Series X. For instance, the design has separate CPU and GPU dies, which distinguishes it from the typical design. Digital Foundry also says this chip should be extremely powerful and could support an iterative console design. That last part is important, since right now, consoles don't evolve much (if at all) during their lifespans. Magnus' design could allow Microsoft to mix dies whenever the company wants to upgrade the console, potentially resulting in more frequent updates than the typical seven-year console lifecycle. Digital Foundry also said this design could effectively move Xbox away from the standard console 'generation' we've known. If everything Digital Foundry discusses comes true, then the next Xbox would be akin to a pre-built PC, as rumors have recently suggested. Though this system could be more expensive than a home console, it could be more affordable than one of the best gaming PCs. This could potentially give AMD an edge over Nvidia, which has typically dominated the PC market with its line of RTX graphics cards. Where does that leave the PS6? Sony has already announced that it's partnering with AMD to help develop the upcoming system, and right now, we have no reason to believe Sony's next console will have a radically different APU design like the next Xbox apparently will. If Sony delivers a traditional console and Xbox opts for a more PC-like design, then the two rivals would no longer be directly competing, which would certainly be an interesting development, as the console wars would effectively end. It would be wise to take Digital Foundry's speculations as just that, especially since Microsoft hasn't said anything about the next Xbox's APU design. The console is reportedly launching in 2027, so we'll likely get more reports in the coming months. As always, we'll keep you posted on everything we hear about the latest next-gen Xbox.

Palantir shares rise after reporting 48 percent surge in revenue
Palantir's share price jumped 8 percent Tuesday morning after the software analytics firm reported massive revenue growth last quarter. The company posted a 48 percent year-over-year increase in revenue for the three-month period between April and June, crossing $1 billion for the first time. 'As usual, I've been cautioned to be a little modest about our bombastic numbers, but honestly there's no authentic way to be anything but have enormous pride and gratefulness about these extraordinary numbers,' Palantir CEO Alex Karp said on a Monday evening earnings call. U.S. commercial revenue nearly doubled, rising 93 percent to $306 million, while U.S. government revenue ticked up a strong 53 percent to $426 million. In the U.S. overall, the company saw 68 percent year-over-year growth. 'This is a perfect time for a revolution in the United States of America,' Karp added. 'We are very, very bullish on America. We have some really crucial and important clients internationally … but this is an American revolution.' Palantir expects another $1 billion in revenue next quarter for an anticipated $4.1 billion in revenue for the full year. The strong earnings call marks the latest in a series of wins for the company, which recently scored a contract with the U.S. Army worth $10 billion over the next decade. It is the most recent tech firm to show off strong quarterly results as the artificial intelligence (AI) boom continues. Microsoft's stock popped last week after reporting $75 billion in annual revenue from its cloud computing platform Azure, briefly pushing the company's valuation above $4 trillion. It is only the second company to cross the historic threshold, following Nvidia's lead last month. Microsoft, Meta, Google and Apple all promised new capital spending, as the pricey push to build out AI infrastructure continues.
