Windows’s new operating system (Codenamed Windows 8 ) has been in development for quite some time and some have speculated that it would be a tablet-compatible operating system. Well, at D9 Microsoft gave a preview of what they’ve been working on and it seems tailored for a touch screen; the user interface looks startlingly similar [...]

Today is the day, the 1 year anniversary of breaking stories, writing long quality reviews, and most importantly meeting some great people. People who have really helped make the the site a trusted hub for cellular information! We have gone through a lot over the past year: new “Gurus”, a total site and logo re-design, [...]

If this isn’t a sign that the holiday season has officially begun, I don’t know what is.
