The Microsoft Surface Launches In Eight Days, Has Three Big Problems
I honestly thought of a Pop-tart when I saw this picture. I have no idea why.
Next Thursday night, Microsoft will be spending a bunch of money bringing their in-house tablet to the world. Not only will your eyes be blasted with ads, but Microsoft will be setting up pop-up stores for hot impulse sales for Microsoft’s senses-blaring Windows 8-slash-Surface release. But despite Microsoft’s monopolistic success with Windows, their huge foray into fresh new tablet form factors, ones that don’t involve a huge desktop and a hefty monitor – is still far from guaranteed (meet: Windows Phone). They have some big hurdles ahead as they launch into the holiday season.

LG’s Rumored Nexus Phone Is Delightfully Bland
You think that backing is supposed to impress me?
More and more information’s leaking about the latest version of Google’s Nexus line of phones. The Android company has stated that they will have ‘several’ phones in their Nexus arsenal this year, but the rumor mill has only physically produced one, a model by LG with a “with Google” moniker on the back.
