MC2 Post 1440 Windows RT is a Lemon. Here’s How Microsoft Could Make Lemonade

The Samsung Ativ Tab: Not coming to a store near you.

Ever since it was announced, I've had skepticism about the purpose and value of Windows RT, Microsoft's version of Windows that runs on ARM computers. The upside of Windows RT—cheap devices and long battery life—was diluted by Intel finally managing to beat its Atom processor into shape. The downside—incompatibility with almost every Windows application ever written—seemed substantial.

Microsoft Cuts the Price of Windows 8 and

Office 2013 to Overcome Slow Adoption

In a double whammy of bad news, it seems that Microsoft has been forced to cut the price of Windows 8 and Office 2013 licenses to spur the adoption of Windows 8 — and Samsung, citing lack of consumer interest, has pulled its Windows RT tablet from Germany and “additional European countries.”

Facebook Snaps On A Google+ Style

and a NEWS Interface.

Facebook Shows Off Redesign

Mark Zuckerberg described the new News Feed as a “personalized newspaper” that is more visual and allows users to choose the topics they’re most interested in. The images and links to articles are bigger, making it easier to see on mobile screens.

“This design reflects the evolving face of News Feed,” Mr. Zuckerberg said at a news conference at the company’s headquarters here in Silicon Valley.
