I want a Microsoft Surface Studio monitor and other top stories.

  • I want a Microsoft Surface Studio monitor

    I want a Microsoft Surface Studio monitor
    Microsoft's beautiful Surface Studio is a PC that's much more than an all-in-one. While you can do all the regular PC things you'd expect from a Windows PC, it's really the screen that makes it different from a regular computer. It's a screen that folds down to transform the PC into a drawing board, designed for stylus, touch, and new Dial input. It's unlike any regular all-in-one PC we've seen before, but I want to turn any laptop into a Surface Studio. As speculation mounted over Microsoft's ..

    Vine's co-founders launch feature-packed streaming service named Hype
    Live streaming video is a crowded marketplace, with products from the likes of Twitter and Facebook already killing off one early pioneer, Meerkat. But the co-founders of Vine seem undeterred by this (andthe recent death of the app they sold to Twitter), and have launched Hype: a video app that turns live-streaming into show and tell. Hype’s main selling point is that it has a bunch of multimedia features that go beyond the usual live streaming experience. Audience members can interact with str..

  • Why 2016 is such a terrible year for the Mac

    Why 2016 is such a terrible year for the Mac

Then we finally got the new MacBook Pro, and it’s loaded with a lot of cool stuff, but…the reaction wasn’t quite what Apple might..

  • Hands-on: Using CrossOver Android to run Windows apps on a Chromebook

    Hands-on: Using CrossOver Android to run Windows apps on a Chromebook
    Switching from a Windows laptop to a Chromebook is possible only if you can live without any Windows programs. But Chrome OS’s newfound support for Android apps from the Google Play Store has opened up a loophole: A program from Codeweavers called CrossOver Android creates a Windows compatibility layer inside Chrome OS, letting users install and run traditional Win32 software.

    Uber just streamlined the hell out of its app
    Uber is rolling out a major redesign of its app today — the most significant update since 2012. The changes, which are only for users and not drivers, are supposed to offer a much cleaner interface, less confusion around which service to request, and shortcut options to frequent destinations.
