    Surface pricing to be revealed today October 16th

    I'm wondering about the new Office applications on the Surface Pro. Will it be possible to get the touch-based Office applications on non-RT devices? There's Office, Office RT, and then there's OneNote MX in the Windows Store right now. Will Office MX applications be the x86-64...

    College Personal Device Help?

    If you only consider current-generation business tablets, this is true. However you can always step back through the iterations until you get to a price point that is acceptable. On eBay, the HP 2740p is about at the price point you mentioned. The 2730p is less than half that. A low voltage Core...

    Anyone use a Macbook Air for development purposes?

    Linus Torvalds does. He talks about why here: http://techcrunch.com/2012/04/19/an-interview-with-millenium-technology-prize-finalist-linus-torvalds/

    College Personal Device Help?

    IMO nothing beats a Windows hybrid device with a pen-enabled digitizer. Currently, most of these are business-class convertible notebooks, but wait three weeks and there will be a deluge of devices as Windows 8 is released. I download PowerPoint slides, print them to OneNote, and annotate them...

    Windows 8 Now on Dreamspark Premium

    Looks like it's already been fixed. I was able to check out with both versions of Windows 8 this morning. I don't think it was a manual override since I haven't received a response to my support ticket.

    Windows 8 Now on Dreamspark Premium

    I'm having the same issue. I previously downloaded the 64-bit consumer preview. I'm able to add the 32-bit product to my cart, but not the 64-bit version. The error is "The item cannot be added to your cart because you have already ordered this item (or a related item) and cannot order it...

    ~$22 Plantronics Gaming Headset

    These have always been $23-25, so if you're looking for a steep discount on some headphones, this isn't it. They're very comfortable, however, and the best headset I've found for the price. As a gaming headset, the only thing I dislike about them is the volume dial--I don't like the added weight...

    Adobe CS5.5 Scorching Student Deals

    Thanks. I figured out the Color Finesse plugin after I found http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/829/cpsid_82987.html, but I was left to assume on the other.
