App pick of the week: Opera 51

Enterprise pick of the week: OneDrive for Business switch offer

After months of partner love, Microsoft finally takes the gloves off and starts going after Box, Dropbox and Google Drive with a new business offer.

Beer pick of the week: Boulder Shake Chocolate Porter

A nice, easy-drinking porter from Boulder Brewing in Colorado. Cacao nibs and “chocolate wheat” make this very chocolately. And just 5.9%.
