Apple has had an on again off again strategy when it comes to providing customers traditional access to online storage. The question is did they finally get it right this time with iCloud Drive.
OnLive Desktop launched for Android devices on Thursday. The free software allows tablets and smartphones to run an instance of Windows 7 through the web. The Windows environment is hosted in the cloud on OnLive’s servers that the Desktop client remotely accesses over a broadband connection.
Viewsonic launched its ViewPad 10pro tablet, a unique slate supporting both Google Android and Microsoft Windows 7. Android apps run in a unique virtualization mode, so there’s no need to shut down Windows to use mobile apps. But at this price, the display resolution is lacking.
The company that made the PC omnipresent in American homes is now trying to do the same thing with cloud computing. You’ve no doubt seen a frustrated mother on television going “to the cloud” to edit family photos. The Onion contributor Amelie Gillette certainly has.
When Windows 7 launched last year, Microsoft offered a discounted Windows 7 “Family Pack.” It contained a product key that could be used on up to three machines; at $150, it was a pretty good deal for web workers with more than one machine to upgrade.
Windows 7 is easily the best version of Windows but even so, it can be even better with the proper utilities. There are many utilities to choose from, however, so to help in the search here are my top five.
Microsoft just kicked off a special pricing deal for it’s Windows 7 Anytime Upgrade program. You can save nearly 40-percent to move a netbook from Starter Edition to Home Premium, for example. But there’s a catch and I think Microsoft ought to remove it.
Laptop users know that the battery in their system determines how much time can be spent using it away from the power outlet. Sometimes it may be critical to squeeze as much runtime out of the battery as possible. Here are 5 ways to do that.
Apple, since its 1970s launch, has enjoyed special favor and even worship from the open source community, free thinkers and supporters of open standards. And yet, with each new step, Apple becomes more closed. That’s why, as the cash registers ring in Cupertino, peril lies ahead.
The speculation ran rampant before the iPad launch whether Apple would name the slate the iTablet or the iPad. We know the answer now of course, but that doesn’t meant there is not an iTablet, too. There’s a Windows 7-based iTablet coming.
Microsoft has responded to the iPad announcement in a typical fashion, and finds the closed nature of it to be “humorous.” That may be, but the mind-numbing session I had with Windows 7 was pure frustration. I’ll take humorous every time.
