Microsoft

The Surface is Microsoft’s first foray into the tablet market, utilising the firm’s latest operating system – Windows 8 – and claiming to bridge the gap between laptop and tablet.
 

Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg took to the stage at the social network’s headquarters last night to unveil a new search function for the site.

Microsoft has officially unveiled Windows 8, its latest operating system that heralds a completely new direction for the tech giant.

It seems that new tech products are like buses – you wait ages for one, then two very exciting ones come along at once.

You may not have realised, but Europe’s biggest tech show is just around the corner. That’s right, IFA 2012 is kicking off at the end of this month.

Microsoft’s do-it-all operating system, Windows 8, is now just a few weeks away. The software giant claims it is the OS to bring the company fully into the mobile world, while still catering to the home computer.

As I’m sure you know, things can change very quickly in the world of technology. If you’ve had your laptop for more than a year it can start looking like a relic of a bygone era, and phones are even worse.

After plenty of speculation and some very heated debate, Microsoft has unveiled its very own tablet at a press conference in Los Angeles.

Cloud computing, in case you hadn’t realised, is very much here to stay. The technology has been here for a while now, but it’s only just starting to make waves.

As a fan of gaming and an even bigger fan of Star Wars, I’ve always been a big fan of any Star Wars title that comes along.
