Windows 8 Review and Opinions

Hey guys, while we are on the topic of Microsoft this week, I thought it would be a good time to give a review on Windows 8. To start off, I don't really use the Windows 8 tile interface. I mostly use the desktop mode and to be honest, I hate the Windows 8 interface. But, there are a few good things. So, before I bore you, I will discuss the pros and cons of Windows 8. To start, the cons. The tile interface makes it hard to find what you are looking for. Sometimes, a tile will change and look completely different. This gets a little annoying when trying to find something quickly. Another con is the fact that when you have many programs, the interface just gets too messy. You can't really change the size of the tiles. So, you get the tiles that come with windows 8 that are their own size and have their own pictures. And then, you have many little one tile programs that make the interface look very messy. The last con is things get in your way. What I mean by this is whenever you accidentally move your mouse into any corner, you get pop-up menus that get in you way. This gets very annoying while trying to view things like articles. Now that we have gotten that out of the way, here are the pros. My first pro is the desktop mode reminds me of Windows 7 but with a big improvement. I love the more basic design. Also, it is faster. The next pro is it is easy to set up things like dual monitors. When I wanted to install my second monitor, I thought it was going to be very hard. But, after only about 3 minutes of looking I easily found it. Settings are easily found and are also a lot easier to find then Windows 7. The last pro about Windows 8 is I love that they added desktop mode. I honestly don't know what I would do without desktop mode. It is just like Windows 7 but majorly improved. I also like how I can have the option ov switching between what feels like 2 different OSs.

Should You Jailbreak your iDevice?

Hey guys, Today I want to talk about jailbreaking  Now I have jailbroken all of my Apple devices. And to be honest, there are many pros and cons of jailbreaking. So, first, the cons. First of all, when you jailbreak, your warranty is taken off your iDevice. So make sure that you fix your device with your warrenty before you jailbreak. Also, every once in a while your device will crash out of the blue. This can get very bothersome s when the device reboots, it goes straight into safe mode. So then you have to restart the device again just because it crashed. The last con about jailbreaking is re-springing your device. If you thought crashing was bad, you really won't like this. Every single time you want a new theme or most tweaks, you have to restart your device. Although this is bad, at least you are getting something new. And that leads us into the first pro of jailbreaking. That is the fact that your device is completely customization. If you want iOS to look like android, you can do that. The possibilities are endless. Another good thing about jailbreaking is getting free stuff. Although you have to pick and choose on what you really should do and shouldn't, you can get things for free. But no matter if you are broke, or you just want to save, you can get things like apps and in-app purchases on your device. You can also add repo sources to Cydia and get anything on Cydia for free. The last pro about jailbreaking is tweaks. This does fit in with the endless customization, but is a little different. Tweaks allow you to do things like add widgets and change the app page screen transition. You can do many other things to make your iDevice feel more like your own. Your friends and family will most likely ask how you made your device so cool. It is your decision on telling them how or not. Thank you for reading my article on whether or not you should jailbreak you iDevice. Please visit my website www.techhype.co, follow me on Twitter, www.twitter.com/techhypeco , and friend me on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hunter.duffy.79
