April 11, 2012 – 4:42 am

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 »

March 22, 2012 – 8:56 pm

@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.

Star Trek + Angry Birds = Angry Birds Space

March 22, 2012 – 8:47 pm

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 »

March 3, 2012 – 1:22 am

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.

Windows 8 Remote Desktop…

March 3, 2012 – 1:07 am

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 »

March 3, 2012 – 12:26 am

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.

March 2, 2012 – 10:47 pm

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.

Windows 8 Task Manager

March 2, 2012 – 8:00 pm

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.
