After now almost 2 weeks of heavy duty use of this machine, I must say Windows 8.1 is not fully baked when it comes to its tiled/touch/app store experience, however it’s not the nightmare I expected.

19 Reasons to switch to eBooks/eReaders

So I’m tired of evangelizing eBooks/eReaders in person and I guess I’ll do a lot more good by writing this so that you can share it next time you want to convince a friend to live in the year 2013 and stop the mad romanticism about the handicapped physical books, it’s just ludacris reading a […]

Google Glass to enrich Google Maps/Earth with fine grained 3D Models of reality
