The Technology Thread

[TacMaster]

Any new tech catch your eye recently?

 

After a mate of mine got a Samsung smart watch I've been thinking of getting my own- the Pebble smartwatch has come to my attention- it's compatible with iOS & Android, and it's cheaper than the average AEG too. Any thoughts?

They're not bad, would prefer a Motorola 360 though

Moto 360's are where it's at.

 

Windows 10 has been announced and you can download and use the preview.

 

390X rumored to not come out until next year.

Really tempted to get a Geforce 970 and Windows 10 looks like it could be fairly decent, unlike 8.

8 was good. But i was using it as intended on a tablet. (Surface Pro 2)

 

8.1 had all the windows start buttons etc so was pretty much as easy as 7, if not more.

I just couldn't really support an OS that was clearly trying to push sales for their mobile lines(at the expense of usability on a desktop), not to mention the metro UI has ended up on server 2012 for god knows what reason. The way UAC was changed is a nightmare from a business point of view also.

My rich snobby friends keep saying how cool apple's new watch will be.

 

Since IPhone screens are infamous for broken screens, I can see the new trend.
