What will be the fate of Microsoft’s new brick & mortar strategy? Changing market trends show brick and mortar sales are down. Internet sales, on the other hand, are rising up and up. So why would a software giant want to set up retail shops? Digital distribution is growing, broadband and DSL are widely available, and several huge computer retail outlets recently went bankrupt. Honestly, to me, it makes absolutely no sense, but we don’t want Dr....

When Microsoft launched its first full-on laptop, the Surface Book, it made a big point of claiming that the machine was twice as fast as a 13-inch MacBook Pro. Benchmark tests by PCWorld show that this claiming is misleading, though the dedicated graphics card available in certain models does pay off for some uses. The site’s tests showed that in pure CPU benchmarks, the MacBook Pro was actually slightly faster than the Surface Book....

The New Edge Microsoft started over and has built a new version of Edge based on Chromium....

What can we say about this? Apple doesn’t seem to want to build in 3G to their laptops and AT&T won’t allow tethering on the iPhone or iPad (without some ‘modifications’). So what’s a Mac user to do when they want Internet access on the road?
