With all the technological development we are going through, we have to redefine science fiction. Maybe it should only be applied when dealing with outer space.

Microsoft Surface is a surface computing platform that turns a table into an interactive environment capable of recognizing objects that are placed on it. The applications of something like this are numerous and all we have to do is think of them.

I just deleted a file and there was something in it that I needed to use, so I looked for some way to recover deleted files. It’s way easier than what they do in movies and tv shows, especially when you delete the common way.

Even when they tell you that they don’t collect sensitive information, what do you do when you learn that Microsoft has always been spying on you?
Here’s the point. For over a year, Microsoft has planted a program on every modern Windows-powered PC that reported …

Office 2007, the Playstation 3 of the Office World

Since the Super Nintendo, I haven’t played video games a lot, except for Super Smash Bros Melee on the GameCube. Since the announcement of Nintendo Revolution, now called Wii, I closely followed the news of the gaming world. Wii is going to be sold at 250 USD, Xbox 400 USD and Playstation 600 USD.

The high price of the PS3 can be explained by a bunch of features that nobody will use everyday when the console is released or even one year from the release date. By the time those features are spread everywhere, either the PS3 will be cheaper or there will be a new better console, so there really are no good enough reasons to spend 600 USD on a PS3.

As for the Xbox 360, it was release last year a month before Christmas. I never touched one, but apparently, people love the Xbox Live feature. A real sense of community there.

Wii will change the gaming world. It was a hit at E3. It’s not even released yet and it’s beating the crap out of Microsoft and Sony. They are so severely bruised that they both seek an alliance with Nintendo. They both said that people would have a Wii as a first choice for gaming and their respective console as a second unit. Nintendo is getting the best kind of victory there is: victory with the respect of competitors and enemies.
