I was doing my usual perusal of the Windows Phone Marketplace and  and I saw a new game called Ultimate Trap Free and the poor ratings caught my eye. Then I recognized the developer.  Choulet has over 140 apps in the Windows Phone Marketplace. They range from free to $1.29 but they all share something … Read more

File this one under odd. There’s an app in Marketplace called Savings Calculator and the developer is listed as “Nokia Corp.” When I saw it, it lacked the polish of the Nokia apps we’re used to. Even the word ‘vehicles’ is spelled wrong. it lacks all of the things that make Nokia apps awesome.  Then … Read more

Pretty interesting work by Andrew Kim who decided to see if he could rebrand Microsoft in three days work. The results are a unified logo that’s stylistic, ties in with Metro and conveys a modern message. In other words, it’s willing to look beyond Windows. While I’m not all in on this, it proves a … Read more

OK now I know we’ll all be upgrading as Microsoft has revealed the price for an upgrade to Windows Pro and it’s just $40 if you do it by downloadable content ($70 in stores). This applies for Vista, XP or Windows 7. And yes, Pro is the version you want in their new streamlined versions. … Read more

Intel has taken a huge step here in ensuring that there are no supply chain kinks when Windows 8 ultrabooks come out by signing a deal with touch screen manufacturers that ensures sales (and Intel will pay them for unsold inventory).  Why is this a big deal?
