Microsoft and Mercedes bring your office calendar to your car by:Jon Fingas on Transportation from engadget

You can't always escape work when you're in your car, but Microsoft andMercedes-Benz think they can at least make those corporate invasions more tolerable. They're working together on an In Car Office project that, to start with, will integrate your Microsoft Exchange info with your car's infotainment system. It'll auto-populate your car's navigation unit with driving directions for that upcoming meeting, for example, or offer to make a hands-free call to get in touch with your client when you're on your way.
The two haven't spilled the beans on the full extent of what they might do. Thankfully, you won't have to wait too long to try this out -- In Car Office will reach Mercedes cars sometime in the first half of 2017. You don't absolutely need this if you're diligent about memorizing your meeting details, but it hints at a future where your car regularly anticipates what you need, rather than waiting for you to fill in the blanks yourself.

If developers can target a single platform for both the public and private cloud, the thinking goes, then hybrid deployments become almost trivial. After a year of technical previews, Microsoft has now delivered the first release version of Azure Stack to its hardware partners so that they can finish their certification process. As Microsoft announced at its  Inspire conference  today, partners like  Dell EMC ,  HPE  and  Lenovo  will start shipping their integrated systems with Azure Stack in September. Other partners, including Huawei and Cisco, will launch their systems at some point in the near future. These systems from its partners, which will initially be availa

This year’s Grand Prize winner is SoloLearn ( iOS / Android ] which is a free mobile-first app for anyone who wants to learn how to code. SoloLearn’s CEO and Co-founder Davit Kocharyan came up with the idea for the app in his native Armenia, where most of their team is based, to teach coding to the local population.
