#Tech News - Surface, SSDs, and Windows 8

**Gadget News and Reviews**

We've got some exciting news and reviews for you this week. First off, let's take a look at our latest review - the Microsoft Bluetooth Notebook Mouse 5000. This piece of hardware is definitely sexy, and we can't wait to dive into its features and see if it lives up to its promise.

**The Free Remote Support App**

But before we get into all that techy goodness, let's talk about a tool that's going to make remote support a whole lot easier - the free remote support app from Goto Assist. This cloud-based platform allows you to control your IT world from one simple interface, providing live or unattended support to any PC, Mac, or mobile device from anywhere - even from your iPad or Android device with the free remote support app for a free 30-day trial. Visit gotoassist.com and click the try it free button to give it a shot. And don't forget to use the promo code PILLO to get started.

**Slingshot: The Smartphone Stabilizer**

We've also been following the progress of a Kickstarter project called Slingshot, which promises to bring smartphone stabilization to whatever device you choose to use. Are you a fan of racing games like us? You might want to check out our Drift Mania Championship 2 review, complete with screenshots.

**Racing Games: A Personal Favorite**

When it comes to racing games, I've got a personal favorite that never fails to get my adrenaline pumping - Ridge Racer. There's just something about the speed and competition that gets me every time. But what's your favorite racing game of all time? Do you have a soft spot for classic arcade titles like Cruis'n USA or more modern games like Forza?

**Bill Gates on Windows 8**

In some interesting news, Bill Gates has shared his thoughts on Windows 8 and the Microsoft Surface. And let me tell you, he's looking forward to it - just like I am! Well, maybe not exactly, but I'm definitely curious about what the Surface tablet has in store for us.

**Windows 8 vs. RT: What's the Difference?**

As some of you may know, Windows 8 and Windows RT are two different operating systems that serve slightly different purposes. In our previous article, we dove into the details of both - including the key differences between them. Whether you're a tech-savvy enthusiast or just looking to upgrade your device, it's worth taking a look.

**A Geek in Charge**

Ever wonder what it would be like if there was an entitlement that every new device came with one? It's a thought-provoking idea, and one that might even have some benefits for our society as a whole. Of course, we know that's not exactly how the world works - but hey, a geek can dream, right?

**Equipment and Technology for People with Disabilities**

We've also been featuring articles on equipment and technology designed to help people with disabilities or different abilities. It's an important topic, and one that deserves our attention.

**High-Capacity SSDs: Becoming More Affordable**

In recent years, high-capacity solid-state drives (SSDs) have become more affordable than ever. And it's not just the tech-savvy folks who are taking advantage of this trend - anyone who wants faster storage options can now do so without breaking the bank.

**Language and Technology: The Power of Google Translate**

For me, one of the most exciting advancements in technology has been the development of language translation software. Specifically, I've fallen in love with Google Translate - which is able to turn even the most basic phrases into something anyone can understand. It's a game-changer for people who travel frequently or need to communicate with others from different cultural backgrounds.

**The Fragmentation of Mobile: A Threat to Cell Phone Privacy**

We recently published an article on the fragmentation of mobile devices, and how it affects cell phone privacy. The issue is complex, but essentially, the proliferation of multiple devices and operating systems makes it increasingly difficult for manufacturers to keep our personal data safe.

**PayPal Partners with Money Gram to Give Users Offline Access to Cash**

In some unexpected news, PayPal has partnered with MoneyGram to give users offline access to their cash. It's a move that could potentially change the way we manage our finances - especially in countries where access to banking services is limited.

**The Oldest Undeciphered Writing: The Minoan Script**

Recently, researchers have made some exciting discoveries regarding the oldest undeciphered writing system - the Minoan script. While it's still early days for deciphering this mysterious language, it promises to reveal new insights into ancient civilizations and cultural exchange.

**Facial Recognition Guidelines: A New Era in Identity Verification**

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has published some much-needed guidelines on facial recognition technology. With the increasing use of face-based authentication methods, it's essential that we understand the implications for our personal data and online security.

**Monster Energy Drink Lawsuits and Recalls**

Finally, in a related topic to tech news, Monster Energy Drink has faced several lawsuits and product recalls recently. It's just another example of how companies can sometimes prioritize profits over consumer safety - and why it's always essential to stay informed about the latest developments in this area.

**And That's All for This Week!**

Well, that's all for this week's gadget news and reviews - we hope you enjoyed our coverage of the latest tech trends and innovations. Until next time, when we'll dive back into the world of gadgets and gizmos, stay curious and keep on exploring!
