Spotify Review (Video Included)

If you are like me you want music to listen to while you work. But sometimes you don’t have that option if you are on a computer with no music on it. Of course this is always Pandora radio online, but I thought about giving something else a try. After hearing this program mentioned in a tweet from one of my friends and seeing it referenced in some Facebook statues I found the program spotify. This program in a nutshell is an online media player that allows you to search for some of your favorite bands and listen to the music at work or on the go. It’s a free application that is compatible with windows, Linux, Macintosh, android, blackberry, ios, and more. In the video I mentioned that the mobile app wasn’t free, but I have to correct myself. The mobile application is free, but to remove adds from the application does cost money. I apologize for that mix up.....

Microsoft Retail Store - 10/22/09

Thursday, October 22, 2009... The day Microsoft released their brand new retail store. Now I'm sure many of you have heard about this already, or seen short videos on it; but I have decided to let those of you who haven't heard. Well, Microsoft's retail store is currently located in two locations at the moment, Scottsdale, Arizona and Viejo, California. They are planning on making more locations in the future. The store contains Windows 7 products, Microsoft Mobile Phones, Zune Media Players, Xbox 360 and 'cloud' email and storage services for consumers. The store also includes a 'answer bar' were you can ask anyone of the Microsoft Retail Workers your questions and they will answer them. Another cool feature about this store is that the workers are dressed in different colored shirts based upon what product they are working with, i.e. Green for Xbox, Red for Zune, Blue for Windows 7 and so on so forth. On the opening date the stores were crowded with folks eager to find out what Microsoft has done.

In my own opinion, Microsoft has done an excellent job with the store and setting up different stations with different products for customers to review. I'm sure this will help them a lot. The store is very spacious. The former real estate chief for Apple (George Blankenship) was hired to consult on location and placement of the stores. As everyone eagerly rushed into the store to try out and look at all the Microsoft products, staff was very proud to say, "this is the new Microsoft Retail Store"
