I remember first hearing about RockMelt a couple of years ago when I wasn’t quite as active on social networks. Google Chrome with some Facebook extensions baked in? That’s supposed to get me to switch?
I scoffed, tried it out and scoffed some more. But now that I manage multiple accounts on various social networks, every little time-saver helps. And that’s why I’m glad I checked out the latest version.
Wow, what a week! With the impending consumer preview of Windows 8 in the next few days, not a lot of us were expecting any major announcement from Redmond. Windows logo went through major rebranding and now looks more aligned with the overall metro style. It isn’t a flag anymore, we now have true windows.
Microsoft took a jab at Google’s privacy violations, a new social advertising campaign was announced, Bing and Facebook apps for WP7 got updates, Hotmail was lauded for effectively curbing spam, Microsoft shares reached a new high, Zune might be replaced with a new music service and more.
Read on for some of this week’s best Windows app news and updates.
Not only can our smartphones be fantastic tools for business and productivity, they’re great for just wasting time watching video, listening to music and playing games. Back in October, Ben Clark looked at the best of Windows Phone gaming and today we’re going to continue that theme on by looking at some great music and video apps to kill your time (and productivity).
As the resident gamer on the Envato network, I tend to play a lot of games. Not just in number but also in time spent.
For example, my Steam profile will show that I’ve spent over 1850 hours in just Team Fortress 2 over the past few years! Yes, I know it’s a lot but before you start judging, keep in mind that this is over four and a half years.
Today, I’d like to know how much time you’ve spent on your favorite game. I know the answer is going to be skewed towards online FPSs and MMORPGs but I’d still like to see how much everyone else is playing. I personally know a guy who spent about 400 hours on Skyrim so I’m very prepared for surprises!
So vote away and as always, we’d love to hear your thoughts – simply post a comment below!
"What's that?" you say. "You know what I'm looking forward to?" Yes. Yes I do. I am many things, but most of them can be lumped into the over-arching group of "geek."
And chances are pretty good that if you're reading about Windows 8 before the beta, you're a geek to. So while shorter boot times, Metro UI, and an updated Windows Explorer certainly features you may be looking forward to, let's look at the real reasons we should care about Windows 8.
It has been well over a year since the very first crop of Windows Phone 7 devices were let loose upon the smartphone world; featuring models from HTC, Samsung and Dell, amongst others. Whilst these devices made a good first impression, I could not help but feel that they were lacking in any distinctions that would truly do the platform justice. Instead, they seemed to give the image of being Android devices in disguise.
Thankfully, a new brigade of handsets has come charging over the hill to set the record straight, with the HTC Titan being undoubtedly the most head-turning of these. I dare say head-turning would be an understatement, as the Titan is certainly not a device to be taken lightly.
Nokia and Microsoft. The Finnish company is bonding up with Redmond in an attempt to bolster the relative smartphone newcomer (Windows Phone 7) with the power of a dying smartphone brand. Sure, that sounds bleak, but I actually think that Microsoft and Nokia happen to be on to something.
What could it be? Ha! Like I’d spoil that in the preview.
