Bye Bye Windows 8 :(

I decided to go back to Windows 7. I just couldn’t handle the crashing and the annoying interface. Both of these issues make it really hard to use Windows 8 on a primary computer. 1. Kept crashing my laptop This sucked. After about 5 or 10 minutes the laptop would just lock up and then read more »

Draw Something… NOW!!!!

@bradclark reccomended a new iPhone game, Draw Something. Sure, why not? How addictive can it be? How much time can it possible waste of my life? A lot. This is a pretty cool turn based pictionary like game. The game generates random words that you then have to draw so your friends can try and read more »

Star Trek + Angry Birds = Angry Birds Space

As you probably guessed by the title, I just got the new Angry Birds game called Angry Birds Space. It still has the same Birds, Pigs, and Physics… just with a slight twist. The gravity is gone, the birds look like they jumped off The Enterprise (Starship that is), and the pigs had a run-in read more »

Windows 8 Settings.. yep, it looks better

O great, now there are 3 ways to look at settings: Control panel summary, control panel detailed view, and the new Windows 8 settings interface. Just like the other apps, this one looks a lot better. I’m not completely convinced that this new interface will make it easier for people like my parents to change read more »

Windows 8 Remote Desktop…

I have a window server running at my house (yes, I’m cool) so I was able to try out the Windows 8 Remote Desktop Client. It follows the same style as the rest of the new apps by being a very clean and “full screen-ish” interface. The first thing I noticed is that it makes read more »

Evernote on Windows 8… BOOM

I use Evernote religiously, so I’m glad it is already available in the new Windows Store. I use this app for all of my note taking needs because it is available on the two platforms I use: iPhone (IOS) and Windows. The new Windows 8 interface is really slick, it utilizes the full screen viewing read more »

Windows 8 using multiple monitors does not look right

How could I call myself a “power user” if I didn’t have dual monitors? I knew that that Windows 8 had a new main landing screen and I was curious how that would play out when spread across multiple monitors. I was hoping that it would somehow span the entire width of both screens, but read more »

Windows 8 Crash Screen?

I was playing around with the new release of Windows 8 and my laptop popped up with the image below. I’m guessing this is the new Blue Screen Of Death. If so, it looks like Microsoft finally got a personality. I would much rather see a than a bunch of useless technical information. Normal users read more »

Windows 8 Task Manager

I’m happy to see that the Task Manager has been greatly improved. The old Windows 7, Vista, and XP Task Manager was getting old and tired. For any machine I used on a regular basis I always replaced it with the process explorer application. There are more tabs and more more graphs which are all read more »

If you haven’t heard, Microsoft just released a consumer preview of Windows 8. It has a new fancy pants landing page and a bunch of other upgraded widgets. Microsoft is letting everyone get it for free at the Window 8 Consumer Preview Download page. I decided to take the plunge and put it on my read more »
