    Microsoft Finalizes Android Office, Launches Outlook for iOS

    @AnimeMania, have you tried HP's ePrint or Google's Cloud Print? I use 'em both. I can print from all kinds of apps and I can share office files, images and PDFs directly to either "printer" and get it to spit out on my home or work printers anytime.

    Microsoft Lumia 535 is the First Without Nokia Name

    Honestly, they should've made an Android phone. I have a Lumia 1020 and a Galaxy S III. The Microsoft app ecosystem is better even on Android than their own Windows Phone platform. Particularly, OneNote works much better on Android and has widgets to boot. WP has two things going for it: 1)...

    Will Microsoft Ruin Minecraft?

    If MS uses Minecraft to force people into their ecosystem, eventually cutting off the other channels of play, then they will ruin everything. If they keep it where it is today, then no problem.

    iPhone 6 Camera Could Take ‘Super-Resolution’ Photos

    Hasselblad has been doing the same thing for 10 years but to make 80-200MP photos. Anyway, I'm a camera buff and my Lumia puts most cameras I've had to shame. I love its RAW shots but there are some things my interchangeable lens camera does much better. Resolution isn't one of them, though.

    What is Net Neutrality

    Net Neutrality is an example of shifting oppression from one place to another by those who view oppression as a constant companion of anything the government has stake in. It doesn't help... but not having it doesn't help either.

    Sennheiser HD 598 Review

    I loved the HD598's in terms of sound quality. They render a lot of detail very nicely. I didn't like that they look like I stole 'em from a billionaire's yacht.Tip: get Sennheiser's 1/4" (6.3mm) to 1/8" (3.5mm) cable dongle. It's better than the included adapter.

    Xpocalypse Not: Microsoft May Support Windows XP in China Past April 8

    I bet they're going to issue patches only on non-firewalled systems in China... in other words, none. They're just providing confidence to people to stay on any kind of Windows platform.

    3D Printed Guns Can't Fly Under This Radar

    Who cares if there's a gun on an airplane? It's the gun + bullets that matter. Nobody's getting bullets through an airport. Period.

    Android Security-Flaw Trifecta Threatens Smartphones, Tablets

    For some reason I gravitate towards the systems that are the most exploitable... maybe because they're also the most useful. Windows on my Server, PC's and a 10" tablet. Android on my phone and a 7" tablet. Too bad I didn't have a choice recently and am rolling with a Windows phone. Now I'm all...

    Nikon Df DSLR: New Camera Gets Retro Feel

    16MP? The price is ~$1200 too high. They also need to fix the issue where it doesn't allow you to use the aperture ring on AF-D lenses with an aperture ring. Instead it makes you lock he ring into the highest setting and use the funky dial on the front. WT_Heck? I like having an actual optical...
