We are all hoping that the Windows 8.1 update will make Windows 8 more palatable and acceptable for all concerned. From all reports there is nothing wrong with the underlying OS - just the user interface.
Still expensive per GB but when you look at the advantages of access speed and reduced battery consumption there will be many that take up the SSD option.
Quite a long article but it helps to put the whole Cloud Computing move into perspective.
In the same class as the Samsung Galaxy S4 and the HTC One, here is another new Android phone from the Google Motorola to take on the iPhone!
I have used some of these but I was completely unaware of others. Well worth a read!
Well Microsoft got in trouble with their Windows 8 "Metro" naming and now the UK's BSkyB will not let Microsoft continue to use the SkyDrive name!
Whilst Dan Grabham doesn't mince his words, I think he absolutely right! Microsoft is really in deep trouble and they seem incapable of making good product decisions at the moment.
Worth a read if you are not getting a full day out of your smartphone's battery!
Now more than 2:1 in favour of Android in Australia.
Samsung's year on year sales growth has been 56% compared to Apple's 20%. Samsung offers a much wider range of affordable handsets.
My view is that the Microsoft Surface RT just confuses the picture. If Microsoft dumped the RT and just concentrated on selling the Surface Pro they might make some headway in the enterprise marketplace. It is is still expensive for consumers but it would fill a need for enterprises.
Pleased to see my personal favourite, Avast Free Antivirus, still ranks well. My second choice would be AVG Free Antivirus and third choice Avira Free Antivirus.
Now devices running at least Android 4.0 and later software can control these home automation controllers. There is also a WeMo motion detector device that can be added to the setup.
Google Android products are already receiving Jelly Bean 4.3 updates. By the way, they have changed the name of the next release from "Key Lime Pie" to "Kit Kat" - still maintains the starting letter as "K"!
Overall this looks like an excellent 7" tablet!
Apple personal computers are being hit by the same issues as PC makers inasmuch there is significant cannibalisation by the tablet and smartphone markets. The decline in Mac plus iPad sales is interesting all the same!
I actually like the reduced size of the compose window - you can always enlarge it at anytime.
I have not read the whole of this article in detail but it looks like a great overview for those trying to decide which streaming service to subscribe to.
With 'anytime' streaming access from a music library of over 20 million tracks to any desktop or mobile for $11.99 per month , who needs to buy music CDs etc?
Now its Solid State Drives (SSDs). Cost per GB at 76 cents is still expensive compared to conventional Hard Disk Drives at more like 10 cents per GB but the access speed would be much better.
Don't know about you, but I am having difficulty keeping up with the vast range of Samsung Tablets! I can't help thinking that Samsung is in danger of putting off buyers because they have too many choices!
Well my wife and I have been holidaying on the east side of the US and Canada for about 5 weeks! We managed to fit in New York, Washington, Lancaster, Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, Quebec City, Middlebury and Boston! Now we have returned to Sydney for a rest!
