Windows 8 tutorial

One of the immediate obstacles one encounters in Windows 8 is the fact that once you turn on the computer, the first thing that faces you is Windows new interface called the Metro UI. It can be daunting at first but thanks to the internet, there are plenty of resources to get a grasp on the new user interface.

Metro UI shares similar features in the interface that you see in Apple's IOS and Android operating system. Instead of little square icons, we get what Microsoft calls tiles. It might look different but most of what you see in the competition's OS are here too. There's a tile for the e-mail, calendar, browser, pictures, news, music and video. Apps typical of what you see in others. And then you scroll horizontally to get to the other apps, again typical in the other two OS.

Intel's Next Unit of Computing

We recently attended the quarterly Intel Channel Conference. The nice thing about attending these conferences is the constant reminders as to what Intel processors are capable of. More importantly though, we get firsthand view of what the next generation of computers will be. Early in the year, we were introduced to Intel's Ultrabooks, this final quarter of 2012, we meet what they call the NUC or as Intel calls it the Next Unit of Computing.

Buying items overseas

Thanksgiving in the US is near and that means Black Friday is just right behind. That means sales and discounts on a lot of goodies. But here, we're going to talk about electronic goodies.

It is not surprising then that we will have Filipino expats abroad who will also take advantage of this moment for some hi-tech pasalubong. While Filipino retailers would rather you spend your money here in the Philippines than from some store in the United States, we're still willing to help out and give some advice.
