Windows Live
I have to admit that it wasn’t difficult to update my phone to a different live ID. The fact I had to do it in the first place is ridiculous. All because Google’s new wide sweeping data policies is a little to scary even for a geek techy like me.…

Self-aware Internet……woah!
We had a debate at work today on whether we think the Internet would become self-aware at some point in the near future. While it was mostly conjecture that resulted in us ribbing each other for stupid ideas, it did start me thinking down a path that I hadn’t thought…

Windows 8: Way Too Early for the Hype | PCWorld Business Center
