Every year brings new and exciting technology, and this year was no different. As it’s our job here at Techcitement to talk about tech that excites us, we thought we’d put a spotlight on that specific tech that we’re also thankful that exists. Whether it’s some tech that personally affects our daily lives or tech […]
Windows Phone 8 is here and for the first time in a long time, the general public seems interested in a Windows smartphone. Microsoft has heard the complaints from Windows Phone 7 users who wanted more apps. The previous attempt at a mobile OS lacked such stalwarts as Pandora and, curiously as Microsoft owns it, […]
Time for Olde Tyme Techcitement, where we take a look back at technology relics. It’s basically your grampa talking about the good old days, but sooner and totally more reasonable than dumb boring stories about how all this used to be farmland. Everybody’s excited about the Microsoft Windows 8 launch, so I thought this would […]
I’m often asked by friends what laptop they should buy. As my home system is designed around Apple devices, those friends are surprised when I almost always answer, “Lenovo.” My first laptop was a ThinkPad 380. In the almost 20 years that I’ve been using and repairing laptops, I’ve always found the Thinkpad line to […]
Microsoft can’t catch a break. Everyone keeps stepping on the company’s news cycles. First, the Surface tablet finally got pricing and availability details Wednesday. Magically, Apple announced its iPad Mini event the same day, absorbing enormous amounts of the press coverage Microsoft wanted for the official launch of Windows 8. Rumor has it, pre-orders for […]
It’s been a few months since we first heard of Microsoft’s upcoming Surface tablets. While most think of the industry giant as a software maker, it’s made hardware before, both for good (Xbox) and ill (Zune). The Surface in particular is an interesting product, because it’s not an exclusive one. Microsoft will launch a 10.6″ […]
HP’s dumping of my favorite mobile operating system may have been over a year ago, but I’m still getting over it. Pitiful, yes, but that’s part of what makes me who I am. I’ve gotten better though. I managed to resist writing an article about the release of the code for Open webOS earlier this […]
It was a year ago last month that HP managed to annoy a decent chunk of users by shutting down a hot new tablet, not even 30 days after releasing it. It was even more annoying if you realized that this wasn’t the first time HP had done this. HP previously released the Slate back […]
Back in April, I was fairly harsh on Dell for dropping out of the tablet race. The massive PC maker had promised to come back late this year, and it looks like IFA is going to be a coming out party for the new devices. Except there’s not a true tablet in the bunch, and […]
Last year, Toshiba introduced the Excite line at IFA. This year, however, I’m not finding much chatter. The company introduced a personal storage device called the STOR.E CLOUD that looks kind-of sort-of interesting. Is the general consumer really building personal clouds though? This is a device that appeals to me, but I don’t see a […]
