Science/Technology / Microsoft Office For Android Finally Gets Dark Mode by carrolpty: 12:30pm On May 22, 2021
Microsoft is finally adding a dark mode to its Office app for Android. While the Office app has been available on iOS and Android for more than a year, only the iOS version has included built-in dark mode support until now.

According to The Verge, Sourab Nagpal, a product manager at Microsoft admitted that "It has been a highly requested feature by many of our customers. Many people prefer using Dark Mode as they find it provides a more comfortable visual experience for reading and working on mobile devices."

The latest Office app for Android will now automatically enable the dark mode if you have set that as a system preference on your Android device.

Dark mode can also be toggled from the home tab in the Office app. As per The Verge, Microsoft has said that it is rolling out dark mode for Office on Android over the coming weeks, so it might not appear for all users instantly.Microsoft's Office app for Android combines Word, Excel, and PowerPoint into a single application. It also includes quick actions like scanning PDFs, or even capturing whiteboards, text, and tables into digital versions. Microsoft's Office app for Android can be downloaded from the Google Play store.

TV/Movies / Star Wars’ Liam Neeson Defends Jar Jar Banks Actor by carrolpty: 1:30pm On Sep 16, 2020
While 1999’s Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace brought the Star Wars franchise back to the big screen after over a decade away and was a box office success, it still ranks as one of the most polarizing movies in the saga set in a galaxy far, far away. Among The Phantom Menace’s most critiqued elements was goofball Gungan Jar Jar Binks, who was played by Ahmed Best.

In the years following The Phantom Menace’s release, Ahmed Best struggled with the hate that was thrown his way, to the point that he once considered ending his life. Costar Liam Neeson, who played Qui-Gon Jinn, recently came to Best’s defense by fondly recalling his time with the actor on the set of the Star Wars prequel. In Neeson’s words:

It really hurt his career. And I have to say when I was making that film… he was probably one of the funniest guys and talented guys I had ever worked with. I remember calling my old ex-agent at ICM and said, 'I think I just worked with the new Eddie Murphy.' I still believe that. Truly, he had all of his in stitches — including George Lucas. But I liked the movie.

Liam Neeson brought up Ahmed Best while discussing Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace during his recent appearance on Radio Andy, with the actor saying how he was consistently impressed by him during the making of the first Star Wars prequel. Neeson also noted that he heard that Best was met with a standing ovation during an appearance at a Star Wars Celebration within the last couple years.



It’s unfortunate that Ahmed Best received so much hostility because of his Jar Jar Binks performance in the immediate years after The Phantom Menace’s release, but in recent years, it appears it’s been quite the opposite. Along with the ovation Liam Neeson, a lot of people came to Best’s support when he shared his struggle with suicide. That’s not to say there aren’t still Jar Jar Binks haters out there, but that doesn’t mean Best ever needed to take the brunt of their dissatisfaction.

As far as his overall feelings on Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace go, Liam Neeson said despite “a lot of fans and critics” not liking the movie, he’s “proud” of it. While The Phantom Menace saw Qui-Gon Jinn being fatally stabbed by Darth Maul, Neeson went on to vocally cameo as the character in Attack of the Clones and The Rise of Skywalker, as well as prominently voice him in three episodes of The Clone Wars.
