At this very moment, I’m dancing around my house like a four-year-old girl who just got the latest Barbie for Christmas. Why, you ask?
The news out of Microsoft’s Electronic Entertainment Expo presentation
(or E3, as the cool kids call it)just makes me giddy.
Luckily for you, I won’t bore you with the non-essentials– I’ll just move [...]

I’m sure you’re all excited for Project Natal, Microsoft’s latest addition to the Xbox 360 gaming console. I mean, who wouldn’t be? The idea of having a complete, interactive gaming experience without having to use a controller just sounds so…crazy. Crazy is exactly right.
Watch below as these people test out Project Natal and feel free [...]

Project Natal, Microsoft’s latest endeavor in the video-game world, is a motion-sensing add-on to Microsoft’s current Xbox 360 Platform; it gives users an interactive gaming experience through motion-sensing technology.

Hot off the heals of Microsoft canceling the somewhat confirmed Courier device, HP’s decided to cancel something with a bit more substance: the infomous Slate. That’s 1 and 1/2 major blows for Microsoft in just two days!

Yesterday, Microsoft announced the Kin series of phones, formerly known as ‘Project Pink.’  The Kin One and Kin Two are the brainchildren of Microsoft’s acquisition of Danger a few years back.  These two new phones aim to “socially connect people”, specifically teenagers.  They’re based off of Windows Mobile 7, but have a special UI (much like what [...]

I’ve been following Microsoft’s Project Pink since it was just a code name. Pink was supposed to save Microsoft’s phone division. It was supposed to be its holy grail, its fountain of youth.

Apple just announced they are holding an event on April 8th to preview iPhone OS 4.0.  Cool! But, just a few short hours later, Microsoft pulled an ‘Apple’ and announced its own event planned for the 12th.
The event’s invitation asserted: “It’s time to share.”  Deep stuff, people, deep stuff. Unfortunately, we won’t be able to [...]

If you picked up an iPad on launch day, I imagine you’re really excited!  In order to justify your purchase, you want to get some productivity on your new tablet, right?  iWork might be nice, but Office is where it’s at (sorry, Apple). So, I assume that you’re really looking forward to getting Word, Excel, [...]
