    Amazon Officially Announces Kindle Unlimited, Offering Endless Reading & Listening For $9.99 a Month

    Most of the books under kindle unlimited seems to be under $2.99. So you kind of have to read 4+ books to make it worth while. I signed up for the 30 days free trial to see how it goes.

    Microsoft Surface Pro 3 announced on May 20, 2014

    Staples has a 15% off technology in store coupon. It can be used toward Surface Pro 3. Slightly better than the Microsoft store 10% student discount.

    Windows 8.1

    I agree with others. 8.1 with classic shell installed (3 minutes process) and it is just like Win 7. I don't use any of the apps and I don't sign in to my MS account.

    Microsoft Surface Pro 3 vs Apple iPad 4 vs Samsung Galaxy Note Pro 12.2: specs comparison

    My wife and son both got iPad Mini Retina and I would not pick a Windows RT tablet over the iPad. I do have a Window 8.1 tablet (Dell Venue 8 Pro) and I love it. The only thing I wish is that it has a bigger screen and faster CPU. I use to carry my 8lb 17" laptop on travel, but now I only...

    8-inch Windows tablets - my first impressions

    I have a DV8P too, and I have to say the charging port is really badly designed. There is no reason that it is shaped rectangular instead of micro-usb port shape. But other than that, the DV8P is really well made. I used to carry my 17" 8lb laptop with me on trips, but now only the DV8P. I...

    Apple loses tablet market share to Amazon and Microsoft after Christmas

    In November and December 2013, I bought two iPad Mini Retina with mobile data and one Windows 8.1 tablet. The Windows 8.1 tablet was Dell Venue 8 Pro and it was $200 shipped. The iPad Mini Retina with mobile data was $530... so I think Apple is doing okay. :p

    64-bit Intel Bay Trail chips to be in Windows tablets next year, maybe Android

    Ah I see. Heh I have locked my DV8P in landscape mode.. I don't think I will ever use it in portrait... it is weird to see desktop in portrait! Except for my Note 2, I use all the tablet including the iPad Mini Retina in landscape mode. And the keyboard is absolutely too huge in landscape...

    64-bit Intel Bay Trail chips to be in Windows tablets next year, maybe Android

    Don't you think it is way too big? It covers over half the screen. I wish you could resize it. And it doesn't auto correct even though I have everything turns on. I read someone said that installing Firefox somehow broke the keyboard app. I don't know if that's true or not since the...

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    Yes I think it is the Netgear PTV3000. Forum said it works with the DV8P, but I really don't want to spent $60 on it when Chromecast tab casting works for my purposes. Mirroring the chrome tab is just as good for me for video streaming. The benchmark for the bay trail atom cpu is not really...

    Dell Venue 8 Pro

    Yup I got it for a week. Love it. I have been showing it off to everyone. Oh your tablet don't have flash? I do. Yours can't play Shockwave files? I could. Why do you have so many ads on your browser? Oh you can't install AdBlockPlus extension can't you because you are on a mobile...

    64-bit Intel Bay Trail chips to be in Windows tablets next year, maybe Android

    The Venue 8 Android tablet? I don't know. I think if I get an Android Tablet it would either be the Nexus 7 or Galaxy Tab 3 8". Or do you mean the Venue 8 Pro Windows 8.1 tablet? I just got it last week and it is completely awesome. I love everything except the on screen keyboard. It is...

    64-bit Intel Bay Trail chips to be in Windows tablets next year, maybe Android

    It is already running on Windows tablet. I just got a Dell Venue 8 Pro and it has the Z3740D atom bay trail chip with is 64-bit. But Dell has it running on Windows 8.1 32-bit because they want to use MS connected standby standard which is only available on 32-bit. But the tablet is really...

    Ordered my new iPad Mini

    I ordered 2 of them with LTE to take advantages of the T-mobile free 200mb per month. I actually have AT&T data share plan on my phones, so when the 200mb ran out, I could just turn on the WiFi hotspot. The mini size is great for ebook. My wife has a kindle, but she doesn't really want to...

    Home page

    Years ago I replaced igoogle with http://www.netvibes.com It was when igoogle started to force people to use tabs. I don't want any extra tabs on my home page so I switched to netvibes. My home is pretty much all the different RSS.

    Cell Phone Cancellation Fees

    I am with Sprint too. Sprint announced last year that they are going to start pro-rate the termination fee this year, but so far they have not done it yet. My contract is up in Sept, so maybe I will just wait before I switch. jgags6, if you are going to take their $10 per month offer for 6...
