Microsoft Defends Windows 8 Explorer 'Ribbon'
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftWindows 8
Windows division president Steven Sinofsky on Friday defended his team's decision to select the "ribbon" mechanism for Windows 8 Explorer, and basically told detractors to deal with it.
"We chose the ribbon mechanism, and to those that find that a flawed choice, there isn't much we can do other than disagree," Sinofsky wrote in a blog post. "While there are a lot of opinions, the one thing we know is that the satisfaction with our products that use the ribbon is much higher and the usage much broader and deeper."
Microsoft confirmed that Windows 8 Explorer would get the ribbon treatment in late August. That change will essentially add an Office-like "ribbon" toolbar to the Explorer tool for ...

Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsAppleiOS 5
Apple is said to have begun training store employees on how to use iOS 5 and iCloud in preparation for what is likely the iPhone 5’s pending announcement and launch. Both iOS 5 and iCloud are expected this fall and a new operating system traditionally coincides with the launch of new hardware.

The first image shows a portion of the Daily Download, a newspaper for employees. In this section, we can see that iOS 5 and iCloud are both “just around the corner” and that Apple will be preparing a series covering everything customers will need to kno...

Epson outs Stylus NX430 Small-in-One printer
Like UnlikeFiled in: Imaging DevicesEpsonStylus NX430
Epson has rolled out a new printer that will go perfectly with that space saving AIO computer you have. The new Epson printer is the NX430 and while it is an all in one printer, Epson calls the printer a small-in-one because of its small size. The machine measures in at 15.4″ x 11.8″ x 5.7″ and it weighs 9 pounds. That makes the printer considerably smaller than other AIO printers on the market. The printer is fully featured as well.
It has integrated Epson Wireless connectivity to allow the user to print directly from their network. The wireless connectivity supports networks up to 802.11n speed. The NX430 also supports cloud printing and it can print email sent from a smartphone as well as...

Sony Alpha NEX-5N on sale, NEX-7 available for pre-order
Like UnlikeFiled in: CamerasSonyAlpha NEX-7Alpha NEX-5N
Our network of eagle-eyed tipsters have given us the heads-up that Sony's $700 NEX-5N is ready to buy online, and curious camera fans can check out last month's hands-on before deciding to part ways with that much cheddar. The company is also taking pre-orders for the monstrous NEX-7, which costs $1,350 -- slightly more than we'd expected. This camera has a 24.3-megapixel sensor, can shoot AVCHD video and stills up to 10 fps and can probably see the turn of the universe, or something. This one will make its way to homesteads in November, giving you just enough time to learn how to record everyone's disappointed faces -- come Christmas morning -- in eye watering detail.

Dell Streak 7 on track to get Honeycomb upgrade
Like UnlikeFiled in: Cell PhonesOperating SystemsDellGoogleAndroid 3.2
Erik Day, Dell's director of marketing for EMEA, has confirmed that the Dell Streak 7 will be getting an upgrade to Android 3.2 (Honeycomb).
Speaking to Thinq, Day demoed the softare on the 7-inch tablets at IFA 2011, but wasn't able to say when the Honeycomb update would come to existing Wi-Fi only Dell Streak 7s.
The Android 3.2 build of Honeycomb was intended to bring the tablet software to smaller than 10-inch slates, so it makes sense for Dell's 7-inch offering to be in line for the upgrade.
Languishing
The Android 3.2 update will take the Streak 7 up to Honeycomb from the seriously outdated Android 2.2 that it's currently languishing on.
This means taking the 7-inch slate to heady new ...

Google bids adieu to 10 products
Like UnlikeFiled in: Google
Google has had a bit of a clear out just in time for the new term, ditching ten products and services that aren't "improving the lives of billions of people".
Like an eager school girl ditching last year's pencil case in favour of a brand new stationery line up, Google has thrown out its tech equivalents of blunt crayons, chipped rulers and leaking biros ready for a fresh 'fall' start.
So say goodbye to Google Desktop, a plug-in that searched your computer rather than the web and which built-in OS search functions have made somewhat redundant.

It's also so long, farewell to Aardvark, a social search product that "helped people answer each other's questions" which Google acq...

There have been rumors swirling for a while that Acer would be offering machines using ARM processors as well to help it be able to produce cheaper notebooks.

Google revamps YouTube for Windows Phone
Like UnlikeFiled in: Operating SystemsMicrosoftGoogleWindows Phone 7
Yesterday, the mobile version of the YouTube webpage mysteriously disappeared for Windows Phone users, but the confusion didn’t last long and Google is back, and it seems the daily absence has yielded only good results as when you access the webpage now it shows a refreshed and cleaner user interface. Why should you care for it? Well, the YouTube app in Windows Phone is nothing but a redirect to the mobile version of the website and when you tap on a video you are taken to the media player.
So now, you have virtually all the options of the desktop version of the website in a nice, touch-enabled redesign, so you can like, dislike, comment and find releated videos quickly. Nothing has changed ...
