Parallels Desktop 12 released with support for macOS Sierra and the ability to play Overwatch on Mac (17/8)
Already the twelfth version of the program for parallel running of the Windows operating system in OS X (or macOS) mainly brings support for macOS Sierra and overall mirroring. But it will also include new capabilities, such as scheduling Windows backups and updates or setting specific behavior of Windows programs. Edge browser integration, Outlook, Office 365 and Xbox support should work better. It's also interesting that the developers behind Parallels have partnered with Blizzard, and Parallels Desktop 12 will offer "special support" for Overwatch.
Along with Parallels Desktop 12, the new Parallels Toolbox application was also introduced. This will appear as a drop-down menu in the macOS system tray offering better access to certain functions, such as taking screenshots, recording screen and audio, converting and downloading video, and locking the screen.
New users will be able to purchase Parallels Desktop 12 starting August 23 for $79,99 ($99,99 for an annual subscription for Business and Pro editions), users of the tenth and eleventh versions can upgrade to the new version now for $49,99.
Parallels Toolbox is available for $10 per year on its own, or as part of a Parallels Desktop 12 license.

They will not be displayed not only in notifications, but also in other parts of Twitter.

[su_youtube url=”https://youtu.be/4nYbaN0RLZs” width=”640″]
Already in June was announced, that the cyberpunk RPG Deus Ex will also be adapted into Square Enix's GO game series. Now the game is out. The demos present it, like Hitman GO and Lara Croft GO, as a turn-based logic game with very attractive audiovisual processing and elements specific to its predecessor. This means that the player, in the role of the main character, Adam Jensen, must deal with both living and robotic enemies across fifty futuristic levels using the abilities of his own body and its artificial enhancements. In addition, more levels will be added to the game daily.
Deus Ex GO is available in the App Store for 4,99 euros.

OneNote Import Tool: it says this on my iPad:
Please import your notes from a computer running Windows 7 or later
OneNote Importer does not support this operating system, but OneNote is free on all platforms.
Hello, this is a tool for Windows and Mac, not for iPad.
Well, sure, I apologize, I absorbed the twist "even OS X" as iOS in a hurry this morning. The error is of course on my side. :)
Sure, I understand, nothing happens at all :)
