Windows 8 features Windows Explorer with ribbon interface

Windows 8 features Windows Explorer with ribbon interface

It looks like Microsoft is really working hard when it comes creating Windows 8. Using a lot of information collected from survey results, the company is really trying to figure out what and how consumers use Windows in order to improve the operating system's user experience. According to one of their surveys - out of the 200 commands available in Windows Explorer, a high percentage of users only use the same few commands in the top 10. With that in mind, Microsoft redesigned Windows Explorer with a new interface, making sure that those top 10 commands are easily accessible from the same screen without users having to hunt them down.

Apps of the Day: Tetris Free and Epson iPrint

Apps of the Day: Tetris Free and Epson iPrint

I remember growing up as a child and not liking Tetris. Not because I wasn't into puzzle games or because I couldn't get very far, but because I could never figure out how to clear multiple lines of blocks at the same damn time. It sickens me. I do well enough to survive and conjure up a nice score, but I can't imagine how awesome it'd be to potentially quadruple that score and get into the Guinness Book of World Records for being good at an old game for no apparent reason. Unfortunately, my nostalgic juice for this game has long run out. Now excuse me while I go back to playing Madden 12.

Real life Minecraft block combines cardboard box, Arduino, and a projector (video)

Real life Minecraft block combines cardboard box, Arduino, and a projector (video)

You know how when you were a kid, the box something came in was almost as fun as the toy itself. Well, that doesn't have to change as you get older - provided you've retained that creative spark. Ben Purdy apparently kept his imagination nimble and, with the help of a projector, a piezo element and an Arduino (of course), turned a plain ol' box into a real life Minecraft block. Hit the cube with a stick, or anything really, and the projection-mapped image starts to deteriorate and particles tumble off as you mine it.

Amazon could ‘easily' sell 3-5 million Android tablets in Q4, analyst suggests

According to a report issued by Forrester Research on Monday, Amazon could “easily” sell between 3 and 5 million tablets during the fourth quarter of this year if it prices the tablet “significantly” below the iPad and can meet customer demand. “Thus far, Apple has faced many would-be competitors, but none have gained significant market share,” Forrester Research analyst Sarah Rotman Epps wrote.
