Engadget Fear and loathing and Windows 8 I was very excited when I saw the first demos of Windows 8. Afteryears of settling for mediocre incremental improvements in its coreproducts, Microsoft finally was ready to make bold changes toWindows, something I thought it had to do to stay relevant incomputing.
What's more, the changes looked really nice! Once I'dseen the clean, modern-looking videos of Windows 8, the old Windowslooked cramped and a little embarrassing, kind of like finding apicture of the way you dressed when you were a senior in highschool. Mobile Opportunity Dell XPS One 27 review: the premium all-in-one The last time we reviewed an all-in-one from Dell, our impressionswere decidedly less than favorable.

VR-Zone Pictures and vision Okay, I"m going to argue that the futures of Facebook andGoogle are pretty much totally embedded in these two images. Thefirst one you know. What you might not know is just how completelycentral photos are to Facebook"s product, and by extensionits whole business. The company"s S1 filing reports that, inthe last three months of 2011, users uploaded around 250 millionphotos every day. For context, around 480 million people used theservice on any given day in that span.
That"s like…quite a ratio. Robin Sloan Facebook smartphone? Dumb idea There are two ways to make money in the smartphone business.There's Apple's way: 1) Make premium products that people clamourfor; 2) Sell the devices for substantially more than it costs tomake them; 3) Figure out what to do with your rapidly accumulatingstockpiles of cash.
