First Look: Using Windows 8 on a Tablet
30 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
Microsoft is aiming high with Windows 8. Not only will Windows 8 be their next flagship desktop operation system, Microsoft is also looking to make it their first OS that’s actually usable on a tablet (anyone who has used any version of Windows on a tablet up to now will tell you that it makes for a less than stellar experience). I recently had the good fortune to play around with a tablet (...

Transfer files and control your phone wirelessly with AirDroid for Android
20 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
Managing files and data on an Android device can be a chore at times. To move files back and forth you have to keep a micro USB cable handy. Not only that, in order to move files to your phone’s SD card it has to first be unmounted from your phone, which can take a while if you’re still using an ancient phone with limited internal memory (like me) and have tons of applications installe...

An Introduction to Flight Simulators Part 1: Getting Started
12 Jan 2012 by Kevin Schulte
My mission is simple: Fly over the enemy’s fortifications and snap some reconnaissance photos. Resistance should be light, and I’m one of a three-man flight group. Fly there, fly back, land in time for breakfast. Easy, right? As my Spad XIII lifts off from the makeshift runway, Earth’s features slowly blending together beneath me as I gain altitude, I relish in the flight. This i...

Launcher 7 Brings the Windows Phone 7 Experience To Android
08 Dec 2011 by Kevin Schulte / 4 Comments
Windows Phone 7 may not have caught on like Microsoft was hoping it would, but it does present some interesting ideas. One of those is its minimalist, tile-based homescreen. Thanks to the wonders of Android, you can now get that same experience on your Android phone with Launcher 7. Windows Phone 7 (and by proxy Launcher 7) eschews the familiar rows and columns of icons used by stock Android and i...

Spice Up Your Android Wallpaper With Astronomy Picture of the Day
18 Oct 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Once you’ve grown tired of Android’s multitude of live wallpapers, or if (God forbid) you’re still rocking whatever default wallpaper your phone came with, it might be time for a change. Add some science to your day and keep your wallpaper fresh with Astronomy Picture of the Day. Astronomy Picture of the Day scrapes the NASA webpage of the same name and makes it easy to set the c...

The Unnecessary Complexities of Video Game Pre-order Bonuses
12 Aug 2011 by Kevin Schulte
In recent years, game companies have started offering incentives for pre-ordering their games. If the game is sold in a physical package, these incentives might include something tangible, like a cloth map or figurine. Digitally downloaded games generally see bonuses of a similarly digital nature. You might get an exclusive in-game weapon that’s unavailable through any other means. If the ga...

A popular trend emerging in the world of independent gaming is the idea of gamers paying what they want for a game. It’s a daring move, but can pay off big for the developers.

Harry Potter eBooks To Be DRM Free
24 Jun 2011 by Kevin Schulte
Personally, I am not a fan of publishers locking down eBooks with intrusive and unnecessary DRM. It devalues their product and does little to prevent piracy anyway. It’s unfortunate that almost all major publishers and digital book distributors continue to sell their books with such a handicap. One giant name in the book industry, however, is looking to shake things up. J. K. Rowling, autho...
