What Is It? I’m not quite sure! You roll a marble down a spiraling ramp trying to keep it on the track. If it falls off the track, you can “cheat” and pick it up further down the strip. The soundtrack and color themes add some fun to what I thought was an utterly boring game. I assumed you could move the ball by tilting your phone or iPad. Nope. You need to either use 3D Touch (which I didn’t test) or arrows on the screen....

“Are you guys coming?” “Yes?” “We’re ready to order.” “…I thought it was at 5:30 PM.” “No, 5:00 PM.” So, we frantically check the calendar. Yep, it says 5:30 PM. According to the calendar, we were right on time. But it just so happened our calendar was wrong. My first instinct was to blame it on some time-space continuum wormhole. Maybe we had entered into an alternate reality where all appointments had shifted a half-hour earlier....

Microsoft Fix it Center is still in testing so there aren’t yet as many fixes as we would like to see, but it’s a good start. Currently, they’ve covered some of the most common issues, from Windows Media player problems to faulty network adapter connections. The best part is that the entire graphical interface is very user-friendly (see the screenshot below.)

These are preview versions of the new-style of Office apps and are available for Windows 10 Technical Preview build 9926 which includes the new Windows Store beta. The easiest way I was able to find them was search for “office preview” rather than each app by name. There was an issue earlier today though, it seems people were finding it difficult to actually download the apps. Microsoft acknowledged the problem and says it’s working on a fix at 10:30 this morning....

In this example I grouped my email account tiles for easier access....

Now, maybe you shouldn’t be so happy yet, as it will be a while for many devices to get the upgrade. If you’re lucky and you own, for example, a RAZR or a XOOM Family Edition, you’ll only have to wait for this year’s second quarter for the update to be rolled out. If, on the other hand, you have an Atrix 4G, Photon 4G, Atrix 2 or a Xyboard 8....

TVii (A play on the words TV and Wii.) is a functionality that’s built into Nintendo’s new Wii U console. It lets Wii U owners set up the machine, so that their television programming can integrate directly with the system. You must select the cable input (or satellite, etc. depending on your provider) so that you are viewing your regular television programming. To make this clear, that means you turn the Wii U on, but your television is set to receive the input from the cable box or satellite....

Zentimo is what we in the computer trade call an OTP, the acronym for a one-trick pony. It doesn’t do much more than what I’ve shown you. There are times when that one trick can be terribly helpful. And oh, we in the computer trade don’t say “OTP.” Just joking. One more thing I’d like to mention – Zentimo perhaps is a pony but not only of one trick. It does much more for the external devices: it shows what’s preventing your device from being stopped, can hide drives of empty card reader slotes from the system, lets you work with devices using hotkeys, integrates with TrueCrypt, lets you return a stopped device and more: http://zentimo....
