How about swapping out those backlit plastic keys with the elegant natural touch of a wood keyboard?
As a Windows RT user I am very aware of it’s short comings. Although it tries to market itself as a premium Tablet , with a price to match, it’s serious lack of applications and inability to run full windows 8 programs make it fail to live up to the hype and promises that some of the full windows 8 tablets may.
However, a hacker has been working to address at least half of that imbalance by creating a way to run full x86 applications on Windows RT tablets.
Windows RT opperates on ARM processor machines (the same processors you find in most tablets and Smartphones) and so is “incompatible” with Windows 8 programs and applications. Or at least that was the line from Microsoft when it was released.
My wife bought a netbook. She didn’t buy it yesterday, but a couple of years ago she bought a small, underpowered Windows XP netbook.
Most people (not people who read this blog, but most others) do just a few things with their computers. They surf the net, check email, and use office programs like word processors and spreadsheets.
Back to my wife’s netbook. It’s needed a reinstall of Windows twice. The problem is that it doesn’t have an optical drive, but came with a restore disc. The first time, I got a friend to fix it. The second time I tried everything I could think of before I gave up and decided for a radical new approach.
I love the idea of several Christian-oriented nerds discussing in a very informal setting tech of some sort that may be beneficial for churches, bloggers, missionaries, and any other kind of ministry out there. To do this well, we are going to have hangouts every other Saturday (or so) at 10AM EST that will be On Air for all to see live and then we will be posting the YouTube video on ChurchMag.
You can find the link dump and details about the next hangout following our latest hangout video:

Everyone wants a nice laptop to buy, but so many people do not know what they are looking for in a laptop for what they do. We want to take a moment to review some laptops for you.
Now, there is a fine line here that I am well aware and I have been on both sides and think that each has their own valid points. Some people are Apple fanboys through and through. OS matters as does the sexiness of their marketing department’s commericals. Others have been Microsoft allies to the end. They need programming flexibility along with low cost parts, even if they have a higher virus infection rate.
Have you considered leaving Facebook?
See how you stack-up compared to everyone else in last week’s Facebook Friday question: Have you considered leaving Facebook? (see results)
This week, we’d like to hear from our Windows users:
Windows XP finally died.
Windows Vista was a nice try.
Windows 7 was solid.
Windows 8 is …
When I switched over to a Mac from Windows almost a year ago, I was very frustrated with my Twitter apps. I went from TweetDeck to the official Twitter app, since I heard nothing but bad things about the new TweetDeck Mac app. I disliked the official Twitter app so much, I found an old Mac version of TweetDeck and ran that. That was great for a while, but without the autofill working and a few other annoying quirks, I was getting desperate. That’s when a new version of TweetDeck for the Mac was released, so I gave it a try. Problem solved! It was great. Great, that is, until they updated it again a few weeks, ago. Continue Reading…
I was fed up with TweetDeck, and just as I thought it was doing great, Twitter released a new version that sank it, again. Not only was it doing something funky with my system memory, it wasn’t displaying DMs and mentions correctly.
#FAIL
It was time to find a new solution.
As I finished downloading and configuring Echofon as my new Twitter app, it happened.
Like a one-two punch, James Cooper informed me that Echofon was shutting down its app and Tweetbot was announced.
Microsoft lately declared the release of the final trial version prior the release of Windows 8. This preview pioneered the release of design and features that are quite predictable in the last version of this operating system. Microsoft has marched long to launch its innovative features related to design, apps, interface and security. So let’s check out how Microsoft can replace the traditional Windows with a ground-breaking new interface for desktop apps and tablet.
Customers may come across discrepancies in the Release preview and the Consumer preview. It looks like Microsoft is still counting on innovative features to make the opening perfect. Along with the accumulation of patterns and colors of the Metro Start screen, new cursors also exist. Furthermore, aero effects have been modulated. It is believed that to make the final release appear elegant, Microsoft has chosen gradients, reflections, shadows, less glowing buttons, and flatter borders. It seems that when the final version of Windows 8 will commence, it will be far improved and different from what is anticipated now.
