Windows 10–A few days in
By the time you read this, we will be a few days into August, which means that Windows 10 started to become available a few days ago, and chances are this is not the first piece you are reading on Microsoft’s newest OS. Over the past few years Microsoft has been talking about a single […]

Deal on the Stream 7!
Over the past few months I have written a few articles about the HP Stream 7 (Stream-lining-A review of my new companion device, A Tale of Two Tablets). So when I got this e-mail today from eBay I thought I would share it with you… in case you are interested in a 7” tablet that […]

A Thumbs-Up for Windows 8

How Surface changed my thinking… and helped my shoulder
I travel heavy. When going through airport security it is not uncommon for me to pull three or four laptops out of two laptop bags. In addition to that I will have external hard drives, a plethora of cables, and all sorts of other junk. It has resulted in very strong – albeit often aching […]

Sean Kearney is not only a Microsoft MVP (PowerShell), he is a good friend and certainly among the most passionate technology enthusiasts and Microsoft fans I have ever had the pleasure of knowing. Sean will be assisting me at […]
