Samsung SideSync: A better way to sync (and share!) Android to your Ativ PC for FREE

Back when I was building my own PC’s, one of the biggest reasons why I chose to do configure my own hardware and install a fresh non-OEM copy of Windows was that if I bought a branded PC, there was sure to be bloatware installed. Bloatware: the software that came with a branded PC adding custom UI’s and other features that were redundant to Windows. It was a way for manufacturers to differentiate themselves from the rest but the irony was everyone had their own version of bloat and this significantly slowed down Windows. Which is one of the reasons why in this new Windows 8 era, Microsoft had decided to release its own Surface hardware.

Google releases Google Maps App for iOS

It’s no secret that ever since Apple removed the native Maps app powered by Google with the previous version of iOS, users went clamoring back for it. Apple’s Maps replacement for iOS 6 wasn’t so great — in fact it even led to people getting lost in the wilderness in Australia by providing bad directions.

Well, that nightmare is over now as Google has released an official Google Maps app for iOS 6. Thing is, it is only available in the US store as of late so if you have a PH account, the app won’t show up in the store.

Geek Reel: Sci-Fi epic Oblivion slated for 2013; stars Morgan Freeman and Tom Cruise

Kinda reminds me of Dead Space — if it was not sci-fi horror. Tom Cruise plays a drone repair dude and he’s also equipped to kill (just like the Dead Space miner!). Like most sci-fi epics, s#it hits the fan when he discovers that things aren’t what they seem and his world collapses when everything he thought was real isn’t.

Watch the trailer. Now!

It’s raffle time. Thanks to Microsoft! This is a big month — the guys behind Windows are making a big leap in rebranding themselves by shifting focus to DEVICES AND SERVICES and they’re starting this with the global launch of Windows 8 next week. This excites me because in the past, the OEM’s have always been the front liners of the Windows branding, putting Microsoft at the back seat with their software. But Q4 2012 marks Microsoft’s focus into the hardware space. If you take a look at their hardware track record, they did an amazing job with the XBOX and the XBOX 360 as well as the Kinect. The Zune, although defunct was a great device. Have you ever tried a Microsoft-branded keyboard and mouse? They’re fantastic. This year marks the start of that re-focus as they enter Windows 8 and computing on their Surface lineup.
