For Windows 8 Users

Thinking about moving to Windows 8.1? or maybe you already made the switch and still can't get used to its new user interface. Well if you want to get the most out of your windows 8.1 system I just found a pretty cool way to do it WITHOUT having to go buy a touchscreen monitor. Logitech has come out with a touchpad (similar to what apple has for the iMac) that you can use to swipe between screens and navigate through windows 8 more easily. I recently build my computer and put windows 8.1 on it just because I like to become familiar with the latest technology but I am using a regular keyboard and mouse. I still like Windows 8.1 a lot so far. The only thing I don't really like is the lack of applications in the Windows store but that will change once more get added. Otherwise its pretty much like a PC/Big tablet that I can use for anything.

Vizio 4k TVs!

                       

     So this year CES 2014 was held here in Las Vegas, like it has been in many previous years. CES is an annual convention that is held here to promote the latest technology that is going to be revealed to consumers everywhere later in the year. Major companies promote technology such as New TVs, Tablets, App enabled vehicles, Internet enabled appliances and many many other gadgets. This year the 'theme' at CES seemed to be mobile technology. The biggest news to me was in the TV department this year. This was the most exciting news to me because lets face it, who DOESN'T like enjoying a movie on a stunningly beautiful display? Anyway, Vizio announced this year that their 4k resolution TVs will not only be sharp but very affordable. I say affordable because TVs in this resolution from other vendors such as samsung and LG will be FAR more pricey. For those of you who don't know what a 4k TV is, it is essentially a TV with 4 TIMES the resolution of a regular 1080p televison (which was the highest resolution we had at the time). It didn't take long for vizio to spill the news on pricing for these TVs which they are calling their P-series models. According to the verge "its consumer-grade P series lineup of 4K TVs will start at only $999.99 for a 50-inch model." The TV will be released later this year and there is no news on an exact date that I could find. Now, the only downfall with buying a 4k TV right now is that there currently isn't very many content available that will allow you to take advantage of that vibrant, amazingly sharp display. Netflix however, has announced that all of the shows that are being filmed by them (ex. House of Cards) will be filmed in 4k. This means that pretty soon everyone else will jump on board with filming movies and shows in this resolution.
