Quick Thoughts: Potential for PlayStation 4.5 and Xbox One.5

Quick Thoughts: Potential for PlayStation 4.5 and Xbox One.5

Mar 21, 2016

Both Sony and Microsoft have been dropping hints about potential hardware upgrades, and as usual where there are those types of hints, there’s probably some substance to it. This of course got the community in a tizzy, and conjured the expected comparisons to Sega’s dalliances in the 1990s with the Sega...

Unmissable Classic Gaming Experiences

Unmissable Classic Gaming Experiences

Dec 30, 2015

Legal Emulation While emulation is a murky legal issue, there are plenty of legitimate ways of playing older games thanks to official emulation. One of the best and brightest ways to access classic games is Nintendo’s Virtual Console, part of Nintendo’s online store that uses software emulation allowing older titles...

Oct 26, 2015

Although tempted, I resisted the urge to upgrade from a Microsoft Surface Pro 3 to a Surface Pro 4 (or Surface Book, for that matter). Fortunately, several of the upgraded peripherals designed in conjunction with the Surface Pro 4, including the Surface Pro 4 Type Cover and Pen, are backwards...

Review: T-1200 Controller Core Xbox One Rechargeable Battery

Sep 15, 2015

While many of us like the convenience of using regular AA batteries with our standard Xbox One controllers, the reality is it’s not very eco-friendly. As an alternative, Microsoft makes their own rechargeable battery brick. Naturally, third parties make alternatives to that alternative. One such alternative to Microsoft’s solution is...

Why continued success for Microsoft Windows and Office is no big deal

Why continued success for Microsoft Windows and Office is no big deal

Aug 21, 2015

A heated discussion on one of the many forums I frequent dredged up the usual desire and possible path for the “obviously superior” Linux to dethrone Microsoft Windows on the desktop. I think 1998 or 1999 was the first potential “Year of the Linux Desktop,” followed by every year thereafter....

Microsoft Money, Stardock Fences (moving icons), and Evernote with Windows 10

Aug 9, 2015

After upgrading to Windows 10 on my Microsoft Surface Pro 3 (from 8.1), my wife’s Surface Pro 3 (from 8.1), my custom iBuyPower desktop (from 7), and my two oldest daughters’ computers, one a Surface Pro 2 and the other an Asus ultrabook (both from 8.1), I ran into only three...

First Impressions of Windows 10 on a Surface Pro 3

Jul 30, 2015

Me being me, I couldn’t wait for my turn in the queue, so late yesterday I went directly to the Microsoft download site and downloaded the 64-bit USB/ISO version. When you run the .exe, it gives you the option to install to media or simply start the installer as-is. I...
