Once upon a time the tech giant was so focused on operating systems that they had neglected just about everything else (which has really shown in their sales and reviews in recent years). Fortunately, they have new leadership with a seemingly fresh focus: apps, apps, apps … [Read more...] about Microsoft Opens Up Preview for Cloud-Based Presentation App Sway
Amazon Fire TV Finally Delivers HBO Go
Amazon Fire TV has been getting pretty good reviews from users and critics alike, but a few things have been missing... most noteably (for many) is the absence of HBO Go.

There is a new app in its stead (we presume) called Amazon Shopping that looks … [Read more...] about Amazon’s Hidden & Functional App Store Gets Them Ousted From Google Play

Microsoft Adds Value with Updates to Next Lock Screen Launcher
For those of us who have been in the tech game a while, trying to figure out how Microsoft is going to survive long term has become a bit of a party game.

Google Lessens Android Appeal, Piracy Apps Gone From Play Store
There isn't an iOS user out there who hasn't been attacked by an Android fanatic. It is unrestricted, they say. It is free, they say. It is so open, they say. It doesn't come with the same strict (and unreasonable) rules that iOS does, they say.
