Google Sheets went down about an hour ago but seems to be recovering gradually at this point, with some users regaining access while others remain deprived.

Microsoft said Monday that it will begin shipping a version of the Surface 2 tablet with LTE connectivity embedded inside of it for $679, beginning Tuesday. AT&T will supply the LTE technology. It will be up to the customer to sign up for one of AT&T’s available plans, a Microsoft spokesperson said in an email. Apparently, there are no discounts or bundling deals. Microsoft normally charges $549 for the 64GB, Wi-Fi version of the Surface 2, which translates into a 23-percent markup for integrated LTE, as opposed to simply tethering a smartphone via Bluetooth or using a Wi-Fi connection. Users can buy the new tablet either from Microsoft directly or via Best Buy, Microsoft said.

If you want to work incognito at the coffee shop, or blend discreetly into in the boardroom, Acer’s squarish, matte-black TravelMate Pro is the laptop to use.

Need help filing your federal and state income taxes? More than a dozen online services are vying for your business, promising to keep your refunds high and time investment low. While you may still see stacks of tax software at big-box and office supply stores, most people who use computers to do their taxes are doing it on the web these days.
