microsoft office is starting to look more like a Google product I'm Bridget Carey and this is your scene that update microsoft is working on getting developers more interested in programming for windows and not just Windows 10 but also mobile devices one way it's doing that is giving Microsoft Office the ability to integrate with outside apps mobile apps like the car hailing service uber can work inside of Outlook all on your iPhone at a conference for developers Microsoft showed a demo of how you can use an Outlook calendar appointment to book a car pick up from uber Microsoft is also showing off extensions for LinkedIn so you can see more information about the people you're emailing and Cortana the voice assistant can execute commands for other apps so you could tell Cortana to send a text to someone using viber but back to over maybe someday soon you can also use the uber inside of your outlook to order lunch you see that's because the on-demand car service is expanding its food delivery service to Chicago and New York City the same app that you use to order a car to pick you up can be used to order an instant lunch delivered to your door but from my experience you may find this more of a disappointment than a convenience goober only gives you a couple of choices each day here in New York this week I could pick from a sandwich or a salad both were about thirteen dollars I ordered a salad which came in about six minutes by a delivery guy walking around with a rolling cart of food in cooler bags he handed me a salad and a drink and well that salad sure looked more filling in the photo than it did in person it sure wasn't worth the time savings for thirteen dollars but if you're in a pinch instant lunch is possible uber is not alone the ride-hailing app get also said is planning to add food delivery to its app in July but it will go beyond just food it could also be used to order instant massages manicures even book a handyman for home repairs in other news google has created a new weapon in the fight against phishing attacks if you enter your Google password into a non google website you'll get an alert that you should change your password because maybe you just entered your password into a fake site pretending to be Google to get this morning you have to use the chrome web browser and download the password alert extension the program stores an encrypted version of your password and the warning goes off whenever you enter your Google password on a form to another website so this also serves as a nice reminder to not use the same password you have on Google with other logins that your tech news update you can head over to cnet.com for more from our studios in New York I'm Bridget Carey
