Windows 10 Overview & Thoughts

On Wednesday July 29th Microsoft has finally released Windows 10 taking it out of the Beta form and giving it a full release to the public. If you were a Windows 7 or Windows 8 user, you were given the chance to get a free upgrade by reserving it or pay the $120+ for a copy of the program. If you had a reserved copy you were notified that your upgrade was available, or letting you know that a copy will be available for your computer soon. Most of the delays are due to computer manufacturers preparing drivers for the operating system, or minor bugs being fixed. There is a way to get past the wait, but it requires you deleting some files and forcing the update to your computer. For more of that click the link below.

Finally Microsoft releases the Office for iPad application, which is now on the top most downloaded applications in the iPad’s app store.

Exit Path Review (Video Included

Nothing is more satisfying than playing a simple flash game when you’re bored or down. With final’s happening all of last week I was stressed by the all night study session and the doubtful feeling of me failing a class. This lead me to browse onemorelevel.com which is a site full of flash games. I found one game in particular that caught my attention and that was exit path. Sure the icon didn’t look like much; just a stick figure standing in front of a bed, but for some reason that icon was good enough to catch my attention.
