Well you wouldn’t be the first since I’ve seen countless people do this throughout the years. But did you know that you can cutdown the waiting time immensely by accessing one simple tool already provided in your copy of Windows? — More after the break!

Lenovo LePad U1 Hybrid shows up at CES again

Feeling like you’ve seen this before? That’s because technically you have. Remembering back to CES 2010, Lenovo displayed what originally looked like a very intriguing product, the U1 Hybrid — a laptop by day, and a tablet by night (or at least when you detached the screen from the shell). Not too shabby, but this year the company’s come back with yet another hybrid and this time its running a mix of Windows 7 and Android. — More details after the break!

Microsoft - Windows Is Awesome "Just Because"

Microsoft - Windows Is Awesome "Just Because"

Microsoft was on a roll with their original “I’m a PC” ads from a few years ago, but recently I think they’ve been drinking too much of Ballmer’s kool-aid because I have no idea how anyone could watch this commercial and not think they’re completely full of themselves.
