Today at Computex 2013, Tami Reller, CFO and CMO of Microsoft's Windows Division, announced that Outlook 2013 RT will be available on Windows RT tablets as part of the free Windows 8.1 update coming later this year. This means that if you have a Microsoft Surface or a Windows RT tablet made by one of our hardware partners, or you are planning to buy one, you'll soon have access to the familiar tools in Outlook that help you communicate with others, manage your contacts and appointments, and find information fast.bink.nu

Well, it only took three years, but Microsoft has finally taken on the iPad in the place that needs the most work: Public perception. A new ad, designed to mimic the sickly sweet iPad ads of late, pits Apple’s tablet against a Windows 8 tablet. And it is awesome.

Samsung's new flagship phone, the Galaxy S4, is packed with a ton of extras –– almost to a fault.
When the phone first came out, reviewers criticized Samsung for shoving too many complex and glitchy extras in the phone.

When new builds of Windows leak, most people focus on easily accessible features such as the user interface or file system. While those are certainly important areas, I feel changes to the underpinnings of Windows, such as its APIs and related developer tools, often go unseen (and are, frankly, more interesting). So today, I'm switching gears and sharing my notes on Windows PowerShell cmdlets and changes coming in Windows 8.1 "Blue" (as of leaked build 9374).Source : WithinWindows

Microsoft today released a major and long-overdue update to its SkyDrive app for the iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. And while the improvements in this release are no doubt notable, the big news here is that the update happened at all. As you may recall, Apple and Microsoft were involved in a poorly-disguised dispute that caused this app update to be delayed several months.Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows
This week, Google pulled out of the loose alliance of companies that utilize the WebKit browser rendering engine. Going forward, Google will go its own way with the WebKit-derived Blink rendering engine, leaving Apple and other WebKit backers in the dust.Source : Paul Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows
This blog has been a long time coming. There is a bit of confusion about the subject of alternate data streams(ADS) and no small amount of suspicion. So I want to take a few minutes to set the record straight on ADS.
As we reported, the core app updates for Mail, Calendar, People, and Messaging are available a little earlier than tomorrow, that is, they’re ready to go right now. If you don’t see them in the Windows Store, from the settings (right click or swipe in from the right), click on “check for updates” and you should be good to go.
Most of the commentary I've read so far about the loss of Google Reader has been about its use as an RSS client. But that's a red herring. The real victims were companies that had planned in 2005 and 2006 to build RSS sync engines. Google stomped them out of business like Godzilla sweeping through Tokyo.

Like in previous Windows versions, the built-in administrator account is disabled by default in Windows 8. You can easily enable it in Windows 8 with the command net user administrator /active:yes from a command prompt with admin privileges. However, if you are locked out of your computer, for example because you forgot your password, you need to enable the administrator account offline—that is, from a second Windows instance—to be able to log on with administrator rights.Source : 4sysops
