A new Build 14.0.4514.1009 from Microsoft Office 2010 Beta branch has been leaked in the wild, and is now available for download. The most significant change in this leaked build is the new installation procedure for test versions of Office 2010 SKUs. Previously, setup used to ask for product keys after it has been initiated, but now, starting from Build 14.0.4514.1009, Office 2010 will ask you for a special unique installation product key before setup has even started, thus making it difficult for those who try to leech through illegal sources.

Internet Tethering is a process which allows you to use your iPhone as a wireless modem to share its Internet connection with a computer via USB cable or Bluetooth interface. There have been several hacks floating around the web to enable this functionality, specially for AT&T users in the US, however, the latest iPhone firmware 3.1.2 has blocked all those hacks which means that tethering will no longer work for you if you have updated to firmware 3.1.2. Fortunately, there is an app called “MyWi” which can enable tethering on all iPhones (including 2G/3G/3GS) running 3.1.2 firmware with just a touch of a finger!
If you have got an unlocked and jailbroken iPhone 3G or iPhone 3GS running firmware 3.1.2, then you must have noticed by now that the carrier name or logo on the top left side of the status bar is missing. According to Dev-Team, this is caused due to a known bug in ultrasn0w and PwnageTool and it is purely cosmetic, which means your phone works fine even without the carrier logo in place. Follow the steps below to fix this issue.

From all the video demos that we have seen so far, it looks like HTC has finally got a killer phone which is going to prove itself equal, if not better to iPhone 3GS.
