One of the hardest things about shopping for clothes is finding the right size that fits you. So when I saw Styku demo their brand new virtual fitting room in a video from tech pundit Robert Scoble, I immediately knew this was a winner.
Microsoft is looking to get back into the email game big time. And now is your chance to get the desired email address you always wanted, like maybe your real name, pseudoname or brand name with the @outlook.com email address. Microsoft is taking it’s experience, both successes and failures of Hotmail and creating a Gmail competitor. After setting up my accounts, it’s impressive and I may want to end up using it as my primary email, however I would like to test it further.
Microsoft may have just changed the tablet game with a single device that looks to compete with Apple’s iPad, and by the way things are looking so far, it has a very good chance at hitting Apple where it hurts. Microsoft just unveiled it’s latest gift to humanity, called the Surface.
Every once in a while there will be an app or technology that I see on the Android platform that makes me wish I had an Android instead of an iPhone, and on{x} appears to be one of them. Pronounced “on-ex”, it’s a new app from Microsoft developed specifically for Android that let’s users easily set reminders. The reminders once set, happen automatically without worry from the user to have to set it up in the future, and the reminders are extremely powerful - let me explain.
Facebook just passed a momentous turning point in the number of active users it has. For a while, they were in the 800-850 million user threshold, but in an amendment to their S-1 IPO filing, they say they now have 901 million active users.
Microsoft wasted no time after seeing the Google Glass Project, unveiling their own version of interactive social glasses that will compete with the Google glasses. These are sure to sell boat loads, as long they can fix those blue screens of death!
This may very well be the funniest thing I have seen in a while. It’s also a travesty at the same time. I’m sure most of you have seen the commercials for Kinect Star Wars, which the game looks bad ass and I really want to play it when it comes out. As part of the game, there is a mini-game within it for Dance Central with the Star Wars characters. This is where things get epic.
There’s only one place that I know that really knows how to “pimp” your ride, and that’s West Coast Customs. WCC gained a higher level of fame after their TV series on MTV Pimp My Ride aired in the 2000’s featuring guest host/rapper Xzibit; where WCC was notorious for doing over the top and outlandish custom car modifications. So when Microsoft wanted to do something to show off all the possibilities of their flagship products, they chose none other than WCC.
Microsoft created a new video about how fantastic the latest version of Internet Explorer is, and I have to admit, it’s very funny. They really capture the essence of the past, where if you were like me, you seriously disliked IE; although I never uninstalled it off anyone’s computer. It’s a funny idea that I might have to pull on someone that doesn’t know any better now that I have seen this.
Ah, now it makes a bit more sense for all the hubbub yesterday when Microsoft laid the smack down on Google. It looks like Microsoft may be drumming up some publicity and trying to shine some additional light to their business solution products for good reason.
Uh oh, it looks like Microsoft is at it again with Google. Do you remember the Gmail Man? Microsoft clearly has a bone to pick with Google, and they seem to now have pinned the bulls-eye on Google and is not taking any prisoners.
Microsoft is currently working on an app that is hitting a bit of controversy. The Microsoft pedestrian routing app not yet named but dubbed the “avoid the ghetto app”, is supposed to be a GPS navigation assistant that uses statistics to help you find your way.
I saw this TV commercial yesterday and had to find the YouTube video. It’s by Microsoft and it’s about a Dad and his son who swap each other’s computers (Windows 7 naturally) so the Dad can help his son with his homework. Except, his son ends up helping his Dad with his instead. It’s a cute ad that is definitely a sign of the times.
In a video submitted to YouTube by some Windows Phone 7 fans, they made their own rap song to celebrate their admiration of the popular smart phone. I applaud their creativity, but is this the absolute worst fan video ever made? Or do you like it? You be the judge and let me know in the comments.
It appears that Microsoft is trying to get into the social networking game, as you know, it’s the hipster thing to do. There’s Facebook, Twitter, Google Plus, oh yeah and Myspace; it might be dead but they still garner a good following and stats, for the time being at least. So with the three big dogs Facebook, Twitter and Google Plus, how can there possibly be room for another social network.
