Windows 8 is a radical new version of Windows which has just been released into a free to download consumer preview version. You may remember my previous article about the developer preview where I said that Windows 8 needs a lot of work to get it optimised for regular PCs as well as touch screen devices. After a bit of time playing around with the new version, I think that Microsoft has almost achieved this goal although there are a few minor problems which make some processes a lot slower than they should be.

The idea behind Windows 8 is to unify all of Microsoft's products - PCs, tablets, mobile phones and XBox. They will share an OS which is more or less the same between devices and all of your settings should be synced between the devices meaning you can move from one to the other and continue where you left off. In theory this idea sounds pretty cool but in practice you realise that this basically means that the OS has to be optimised for use with many different input methods and be just as easy to use no matter what device you choose.

One of my biggest complaints in my previous article was that the Metro interface removes easy multitasking and makes keyboard and mouse input much more difficult. In order to rectify this, there are a few new things which have been added to the metro interface. By hovering over the top right hand corner with your mouse, a bar comes down which shows you all of your open applications. This includes both Metro apps and those you have on the desktop view:

This not only makes multitasking easy like the traditional Windows on desktop but also makes the desktop view more incorporated into metro to prevent them seeming like two different worlds. As well as this, tablet users will get super easy multitasking which is not that common on a mobile OS. Another new feature is charms. By hovering over the top left corner a menu pops up which has quick access things like search, settings, devices and other things you may need. This is a lot better incorporated than the previous "start menu" on the developer preview. Accessing the control panel is now really easy, changing volume and brightness is also made a lot easier.

These new gestures are simple, yet quite powerful and they feel natural using both your finger and the mouse which is something very important for Microsoft's concept. Of course, not everything is as good as it should be in this consumer preview. Multi-monitor support is still a bit weird. When extending the display across 2 monitors, one shows the desktop and the other shows Metro. There is no option to stretch Metro across two monitors. On top of this, by opening an app on the desktop mode, instead of it opening on the monitor with desktop mode, it will minimise your metro app and open it on the wrong monitor. This is really counter-intuitive when trying to do multiple things at once and it basically takes a lot longer than it should to set up apps running across both interfaces so you can view them both.

Another new feature is the evolution of Aero Snap where you can put two Metro apps running side-by-side albeit one app runs semi minimised on the side while the other takes up most of the screen. This allows you to run Metro and desktop apps side-by-side on one monitor. This feature seems like it would be useful on multiple monitors but again, you can't seem to do this easily.

The idea behind Windows 8 seems pretty cool when you think about it but there are a few shortcomings right now which will hopefully be fixed before the full version comes out.

Every year there is endless excitement about new Macbooks, smartphones, Kindles and iPads. Not many people get excited about printers. Ever since the desktop printer became ubiquitous, it seems like printers have changed very little, and printing technology is nothing to get excited about. You may not know that the printing industry is actually changing very rapidly and several innovations are destined to touch your life in significant ways. Here are five that made significant progress in 2012.

1. Flexapex

   While this innovation didn’t make any new headlines, Apex patented and released a new technology for industrial printing. Mostly applicable to large-scale manufacturing, most of us won’t even notice the difference it makes. Over time, however, you will begin to see higher quality images on packaging and products you buy. Hopefully, Flexapex will bring cheaper prices to manufacturing as well.

2. Unprinting

   Ever needed to print a large document, only to be finished with it a few hours later? A few companies are now exploring “unprinting” – the ability to erase type from a page afterwords and make recycling much easier. With a machine smaller than most copiers, your office could eliminate the need for shredding and save yourself huge costs on paper.

3. Canon offers a new option to printer cartridges in India

   Printer cartridges are typically very expensive, and need to be replaced regularly.  Manufacturers sell printers at or below cost on the assumption that they can charge high premiums on cartridges for the life of the printer. Meanwhile, they do their best to promote their quality over the remanufactured or recycled options offered by company’s like inkpal – until now. Epson just released a new brain child with an integrated tank system! Designed for use in India, the system could make color copies less than half a penny each, and black and white less than a quarter of a penny. If the right competition takes hold, maybe you will finally get some relief on your printing costs. Until then, there are toner cartridges out there that perform well, and cost much less than their OEM counterparts.

4. Printing in 3D

   The obvious candidate and the one that got the most media attention in 2012 was 3D printing. This isn’t because 3D printing was invented in 2012. It has existed in some form for over 20 years, but only recently has it gained enough traction to become practical. There are now 3D printers available for as little as $1,000 and the prices are dropping quickly. Once the cost falls a few hundred dollars more, a significant revolution will happen. You could soon find yourself printing small objects or devices in your living room rather than ordering them online. If constructing 3D models was never in your comfort zone, you can always take pictures of the object you want and let the computer create a model for you.

5. E-ink and the rise of e-readers

   The biggest news in 2012 was a carryover from the year before. E-ink, used in the screen of a Kindle or a Nook, is becoming much cheaper and better. Here, the highest credit goes the Nook, which has added faster refresh times and solved one of the biggest limitations of e-ink – how to read in the dark. Building LEDs around the edges of the display keeps the reading ease of e-ink while also making it possible to read at night. As e-readers and e-ink become more ubiquitous, expect this innovation to blend more with traditional printing until you see both technologies incorporated into the same documents.

One of the biggest dilemmas for those who have Apple products is the fact that you don't seem to be able to do everything you want to do with it. For example, with the iPad you have a camera connector accessory which allows you to connect your camera to the iPad via USB and copy photos across reasonably easily. So you think to yourself, this should work if I plug a USB stick directly into it and copy photos from my computer across to the iPad. But it isn't as easy as you first think, there is a process which you have to follow before this can be done which I will show you in this article.

The iPad can recognise USB flash drives through the camera connector but can only import photos and videos through it. In order to achieve this you need to trick the iPad into thinking that you have connected a camera directly so as to import the photos.

What you need:

• An iPad
• A USB Camera Connector kit for iPad
• A USB Flash Drive
• A Computer - preferably with Windows (not essential)
• Bulk File Rename Utility

What to Do:

1. First, get everything you need together

2. Now find the photos you want to copy over on your computer and put them in one folder. The iPad will only recognise the photos if the file name is exactly 8 characters which should be fine if the photos are copied from your camera and haven't been renamed. If you have renamed your files to something different, don't panic! A simple utility exists which can rename your files easily. If you open Bulk Rename Utility and navigate to the folder where you kept your photos, you get a screen like this:

Click for Full Size

3. Although the screen look complex, its pretty easy if you make sense of it. First highlight the photos you want to rename, go to the Remove box and change the value of "First n" until the original file name is removed ( a live preview is shown next to the original file name). On the Add and Numbering box, make the values the same as shown in the above picture (click it to make it bigger). This will give you a file name that is 8 characters long.

4. The point of this exercise is to trick the iPad into thinking that the USB stick you have plugged in is a camera so the next step is to plug your USB stick into the computer and create a new folder called DCIM

5. Now create a sub folder inside the DCIM folder and call it PANA_100 (this is what my camera usually calls the sub folder in the memory card)

6. Now copy the files you just renamed into the sub folder

7. Finally, the last step is to remove the USB stick containing the photos and connect it to your iPad like so:

  The iPad should open the Photos app and show you the pictures on the USB stick under Camera. If this does not show up, try turning the iPad off and then back on again. You should eventually get a screen like this:

Now it's a simple matter of importing the photos and you're done!

It's a process which is way more complicated than it needs to be but it can be done. This will save you the hassle of using iTunes to sync the photos (which takes forever if you have over 1000 photos) and make it so much easier to use the digital photo frame feature of the iPad and share photos with your friends.

We all know that when it comes to prices of technology in Australia, they can often be unreasonable, especially now that the Australian dollar is above parity with the US dollar. So what can you do about these ridiculous prices?

There are several websites which allow you to buy things from overseas at a much lower price than you can get them for here, even after shipping is accounted for. Here is a list of some of my favourite websites to buy anything to do with technology. Just be aware that anything you buy worth more than AU$1000 is subject to a 10% GST charge so some more expensive items such as TVs might not become worth it after accounting for this. There are also some local websites which sell grey import products at very reasonable prices. Some of these may be sourced from overseas and you could be liable to pay tax. For example, JB Hi-Fi has launched their direct import website with grey market SLRs and Lenses however they do mention that the product is shipped from overseas and you are liable for paying GST on purchases over $1000.

1. B & H
    This website has basically everything you could need. Computers, cameras, lenses, tablets, MP3 players along with lots of other things. However, shipping can get quite expensive (but it is fast) and this might diminish the savings you get from buying overseas. Just make sure you do the maths and you are in fact saving money.

2. Playasia

I discovered this website a while back but have never been bothered to order from them. You can buy games for all consoles as well as the consoles themselves at pretty decent prices. Its useful for buying games which are sold only in certain areas such as Japan and not released worldwide. They also offer all popular games at amazing prices. Be aware that some things may be a little bit more expensive than you get them here, especially consoles from other regions. For buying DVDs, BDs and games, make sure your player is not region locked or the game you are buying is for the correct region. If you go for the cheapest shipping option, it takes about 3 weeks to get here but for the amount you are saving (about $30-40 per game) it is worth waiting. I suggest that you buy things in bulk from them so you can justify paying $20 or so for FedEx or UPS and the package should arrive faster

3. Staticice

I have mentioned this website before on the shopping section of my website but it is an extremely useful search engine. If you are looking for computer parts at the cheapest prices, this is the first place to go. Of course, you cannot trust all of the stores on it as some of them do have dodgy service. The best thing to do is, if you find a good price, google the name of the store to see if there are many complaints about their services or products. Look for people who might have purchased from them before (forums are a good place to look) and see if they have a brick and mortar store so you might be able to pay them a visit. Often, just ringing them up helps. The awesome thing about this website is that all of the shops are in Australia, so you get very competitively priced computer parts locally so you don't have to pay any more tax for your purchase. Shipping is also much faster than if you order from overseas.

4. PriceUSA

This Australian based website unlocks a whole new world of shopping for you. Any product you want from the USA can be bought through these guys whether they ship to Australia or not. How it works is you tell them what you want and where you want it from and using some of their agents, the product is bought on your behalf and shipped to you for a minimum shipping fee and a small commission on the price of the product. You can even buy things from online stores through these guys, so you can order computer parts via Newegg.com for example or try out some other online stores which sell cheap products but don't ship here.

5. Computer Markets

Computer markets are an amazing place to go when you are looking for components for your new computer, looking to replace parts on your old computer or just to compare prices. These guys get their stock from overseas places such as Taiwan and for this reason they can sell things to you at a much lower price than what you get it for in a normal store. I have compared their prices to many other stores, even located overseas, and the markets often turn out to be cheaper. If you have a free weekend, its a really good place to have a look and if you're lucky you can pick up a bargain.

These are just a few places you can try to save some money on your next gadget purchase. There are of course many other places to try out but this is a good list to get you started. Often you can buy products for half the price you would get them for from a retail outlet in Australia so the savings add up very quickly.

Sony's main competitor for the PSP2 is the Nintendo 3DS but then you go onto think, the iPod Touch has a pretty large gaming presence with heaps of support from developers who are willing to create new and innovative games for the iPod Touch. The PSP2 is actually very similar to the iPod Touch in terms of things which it is supposed to do. No doubt it will be able to play music and video as well as awesome games but is pure power enough to beat both Nintendo and Apple? Based on the previous generation, the Nintendo DS sales far surpassed that of the PSP yet it was technologically inferior. Sure it has a touch screen but it wasn't amazing. The same thing could happen with the iPod Touch vs PSP2.

Obviously, Apple has the whole logo thing guaranteeing popularity for the product but the PSP2 boasts graphical power comparable to the PS3 and touchpads on the back and the front basically adding a whole new dimension to gaming. Having not really seen the interface of the new PSP, I can't comment on whther or not it is better than iOS but the familiarity of iOS will give it the upperhand. As more console games such as FIFA are released on iPod Touch, it has become more and more orientated towards gaming.

An iPod is something most people carry with them all the time. If you could fit games with good graphics and length on it then clearly there is a huge potential to use it as a handheld gaming device. Rumour has it that Apple could upgrade the already decent A4 processor with a dual core A5 processor making it an even more capable gaming machine. So how can the PSP2 compete with a device with so much exposure already?

The PSP2 and other handheld gaming devices hold several advantages over the iPod Touch. Firstly, there is the fact that it actually has physical buttons which makes a game so much more playable. Touch games are incredibly playable with the iPod Touch, often using innovative interfaces but when it comes to first person shooters and sports games, you need to have physical buttons. Personally, I cannot play those sorts of games on the iPod Touch even though others can manage.

Secondly, the iPod Touch doesn't really have the support of hardcore gamers and PlayStation exclusive games. The PlayStation has been around for a long time and over this time it has built a huge base of supporters and game series which everyone likes. Some games which will come out on the PSP2 include Resistance, Little Big Planet and Call of Duty which are games that will probably never come to iPod Touch.

Finally, the PSP2 outdoes the iPod Touch in specifications. The 5 inch OLED touch screen looks amazing, the physical buttons and dual analog sticks add so much more control to the game. As well as this, current PSP games and PS1 classics will be able to be played on the device. Add connectivity to social networks and you have a pretty good looking gaming device.

There is the matter that people will not want to carry a million devices in their pockets. If a phone can replace a handheld gaming device and an mp3 player well, people will take it. So the PSP2 has to be something pretty awesome to convince people to use it.

I had a go at the new Playstation Move today and I must say I wasn't really sure what to expect. I have a lot of friends who have a Nintendo Wii and when visiting them, I thought it was really cool but they said it gets incredibly boring after a little while. The main problem being that the games are for little kids. The Playstation move has a pretty good selection of games out right now and I played both Sports Champions and Start the Party. Sports Champions seems like such a rip off of Wii Sports but after playing it, I noticed it was so much better. Firstly, the graphics are very impressive and it really immerses you in the game as opposed too Wii's cartoonish, childish graphics. Secondly, as many of you know, the Move controller is supposed to be more accurate than the Wii's. This accuracy makes a huge difference to the game experience, for example when playing table tennis, your movements exactly match that of playing the real game. Tilting your hand slightly will allow you to put more spin on it etc. A large problem with the Wii controller was the fact that you could easily cheat with it. You can just randomly wiggle your wrist and you will get a good score. The accuracy of the Move means you cannot do this anymore. As well as this, the vibration of the Move controller adds another aspect of depth to the gameplay. When hitting a ball, you can actually feel the ball hitting your racket making the game seem very realistic.

Overall, the Move is an excellent system and offers considerable advantages over the Wii controller, which it is quite obviously trying to compete with. However, I don't think that people will be switching from Wii to Playstation but rather, Playstation owners will have motion controls added to games to add more gameplay features for existing owners. The starter pack is also a great deal, including everything you need. Unfortunately the game included in the starter pack is merely a collection of demos rather than full games so don't get confused by the term starter disc. You still need to buy a game!

Apple has just released their newest line of iPods right on time. Obviously, like every other blog out there I have to get my point of view across.

Firstly, there's the new iPod Nano which is actually nano this time around. Unfortunately they have replaced the click wheel with a multi-touch screen which can fit four icons on it. In my opinion it seems kind of gimmicky but I am sure Apple will prove me wrong with this being the next must have gift. The new Ipod Touch, as predicted will include all the new features of the iPhone 4 except for the phone, making it just an "i". As well this there is a new iPod shuffle which has the same button arrangement as the first gen shuffle but it is in the shape of a square. I guess they realised that a buttonless design was just plain stupid.

UPDATE: You may notice the bad photoshop job when you look at the apple logo in the reflection of the iPod Touch

There is a new iTunes version out. It seems like iTunes 9 just came out yesterday but here is iTunes 10. They have released a ping feature which lets you "socialise" with your favourite artists. So another 90MB download awaits you when you finish reading this post.

On top of this, a new Apple TV is on its way which is actually tiny. It basically lets you rent HD movies (NOT buy). for a low price which is sure to inflate for international markets.

Enjoy the pictures!!!

Whoops, almost forgot the iPod Classic, just like Apple did. There are NO improvements whatsoever.

Sure, the iPad is a great device for Web surfing, book reading, and movie watching. But it's also getting a lot of interest in corporations as a possible business device for field forces, nurses and doctors in hospitals, and knowledge workers in the office and on the go.

That interest is obvious from the top iPad downloads from the Apple App Store, where Citrix Receiver, an app that makes the iPad a portal to server-based apps such as Microsoft Office and SharePoint, has stayed in the top five almost every day. Also in that top-downloads list are Apple's iWork productivity trio (Pages, Numbers, and Keynote) and two Microsoft Office-compatible productivity apps (Quickoffice Mobile Connect Suite and DataViz Documents to Go Premium).

I decided to see how well the iPad could fit into a business environment. The short answer: awkwardly, but with lots of promise. (Note that all the apps mentioned here are available through InfoWorld's "no-junk business iPhone and iPad app finder" Web page.)

The iPad is very portable and has long battery life (six to eight hours in my experience, although the more networking you do via Wi-Fi, 3G, or Bluetooth, the less time you get). So it is very appealing as a laptop replacement, at least for short trips. For many users, it can indeed replace a laptop. Which users? Certainly those whose lives revolve around email, Web access, and basic office productivity work. For other users, it depends greatly on the software availability for your work tasks.

Here's what you can do, and what could get in your way.

One of the largest technology companies on this planet is Apple. They are the creators of many of the products we use in our everyday lives such as the iPod and the iPhone. Whenever Apple releases a new product, they have a lot of market hype. Every technology blog, including this one, has to report on Apple's latest product. They were the ones who made having a lowercase "i" in front of a product name cool. On top of this, I notice a large traffic increase whenever a new Apple product has been released. Apple's Macs are far from the worlds most popular computers, this title goes to Dell. But for some reason, every time a new Apple product is released there is more hype surrounding it than any other product. People wait in nerve wracking anticipation when Steve Jobs hosts another keynote and journalists from around the world wait to be one of the first to hear about Apple's latest product. Whenever Apple does release a new product, you want to buy it. often it has its limitations but you still want to buy it. It just looks so cool. You merely have to a take a trip to your local Apple store to experience this feeling. But what is the reason for people's fascination with Apple, so much so that no matter what product Apple releases, you can guarantee a line will stretch for miles and it will be sold out in every store within a couple of days.

Take a look at the iPhone 4. It has had a few issues such as introducing video calling which is so limited that it is almost useless, and the dreaded antenna problems. By the time these issues had been found, many people in the US had already bought them and were upset over the antenna issue. You would think that on its worldwide release, the new iPhone's sales will suffer incredibly. This was not the case though, just take a look at the headline on The Sydney Morning Herald on the day of release:

"iPhone 4 Sold Out Around the Country"

"A Stronger than Expected Reception for iPhone 4"

As you can see, the antenna problems bothered no one. The phone was still selling like hotcakes. Apple's fan base is so dedicated that they are willing to accept Apple's band-aid solution in order to get their hand on the next big thing. Then, we look at the iPad. So many other companies have tried and failed in releasing their own version of the tablet. Often, more powerful but less user friendly than the iPad. Apple on the other hand managed to create a whole new segment of the market and convince people to buy a device they previously didn't need. Instead of telling people to replace their laptop, they should use the iPad to complement their laptop. On top of this, they managed to get above their expected sales and have basically made the tablet the next must have device. Something which other companies have been trying to do since the year 2000. They managed to bust the myth that e-readers must have an e-ink screen in order to compete. Despite the critics of the product, it sold more than anyone expected.

So what gives Apple this degree of control over their consumers? How can they convince someone to buy a product they don't really need and get them to buy something which has a lot less features than a cheaper alternative?

Well, there is no simple answer to this but I am going to give it a go. Apple's dominance of the market started with the release of the iPod in 2001. They had changed the market completely with a simple, easy to use media player providing a better alternative than most players out there in that day and age. Then they released a second generation model and expanded the line to fit new market segments. This made it the most popular mp3 player in the world and as you moved on to newer generations, more followed the iPod trend because of its coolness. Everyone had to have one and through this, people feel the need to upgrade to newer models and become first time owners of the iPod. From this, Apple got their loyal fan base with people always wanting a new model of iPod coming out much like people anticipate the release of a new operating system. Once someone has an iPod, they are likely to stick with the iPod and when a new model comes out, rather than consider an alternative, they will buy another iPod. Then, with the release of the iPhone, they combined the phone with the iPod and a completely revolutionary interface. People had been dreaming of having an iPod like interface on their phone, something which was easy to sue and brought the iPod to popularity in the first place. This is probably what boosted the sales of the iPhone in the first place. Then as each subsequent version came out, people felt the need to upgrade. This consumerism is what led to Apple developing a following behind the iPhone.

Apple's Mac was selling nowhere near as much as the iPod and so Apple took this opportunity, with a large following behind Apple and many people with iTunes on their computers, to convince people to go the whole hog and convert to a Mac. They reinvented it and made it support Windows. This left no excuse for anyone not to switch to Mac. As its popularity grew, they made it cool to own one. So through the aesthetics of the product, Apple has managed to win fans of its products. They get people to associate the Apple logo with quality devices and something which will make you look cool to be seen with. Through this brand recognition, they have made the younger generation look at Macs differently. They want to buy one to show their friends. How many times have seen someone with an iPhone and asked them if you can play around with it? Or when you go to the shops, how many times have you rushed to have a go on the iPad? This is how Apple's marketing technique works. They have no need to advertise on TV, it is all done through the  logo and Apple stores. They have made their product appeal to the younger generation and the older people who want to feel younger. When Apple introduces their own product, it will be even more popular because people just look at it and buy it because of the Apple logo.

Other companies have not built up the same reputation for their brand. They have not put in the time and effort into making their product look good and still have excellent build quality. This makes Apple the only company which has done this, making them unique and this is why people are so fascinated by Apple and their products.

Introduction

Recently, Sony released a movies store on their Playstation 3 where you can buy or rent the latest and not so latest movies. I was able to test this service out just recently and here is my review of it.

Pros

• Easy, inexpensive delivery service
• Integrated into the PSN store without an additional download
• Has both HD and SD movies for people with not enough download limit
• Movie rental service is convenient
• Decent video and sound quality

Cons

• 5.1 channel surround sound is not activated by default
• HD movies are not 1080p

Review

I rented three movies, Surrogates, Invictus and 2012. I found the delivery method was easy but on my 2Mbps connection, the movie took about 8 hours to download which is a bit of a pain. This means you have to plan ahead of time. Conveniently, Sony does give you an option to play the movie while it is downloading but the download is so slow that it will keep pausing the movie. It is better to just wait for the movie to reach at least 80% before you start watching it. Once I did get the movie, it said once it was opened I had 48 hours to watch it which is quite reasonable. I only tried out the HD movies and although they weren't full HD, the quality was very decent. I was quite impressed. Originally it was playing in stereo sound and only after fiddling around in the settings and changing the audio track could i activate the 5.1 channel surround sound. I can't imagine non tech savvy people being able to work this out especially since there are no clear instructions telling you you have to change the audio track to get surround sound. This is a real pain but once you do it, the sound quality is also amazing.

The price for renting a HD movie is reasonable at $5.99 - $6.99 which is around the same price as my local video rental store but many of the latest movies can't be rented at must be bought at the less reasonable price of $24.99. It really is a shame that when you are purchasing the movie with credit card, the minimum amount you can add to your wallet is $10. This means that everytime you buy a movie for $7 you have to give Sony $10. Only after your 4th movie will stop having to add funds. I don't know why you couldn't just pay the exact amount you needed for the movie. The other alternative is a PSN network card which has a minimum of $20 $30. So both ways you cannot pay an exact amount but only add amounts to your wallet. It means later on you might be forced to buy something you really don't want but need to to use up the funds in your PSN wallet. Another bad thing is that they haven't followed the Foxtel IQ method where if you don't watch the rented movie at all you don't get charged for it. This was good because if you changed your mind, you can simply delete the movie and you won't get charged anything.

Overall, I like the new movie service. The video and sound quality are very decent and the whole concept is excellent. If the download speed was improved and the files weren't so large it would be more accessible to people with lower download limits. Unfortunately, buying the latest movies can become an expensive affair especially when the Blu-Ray can often be bought for less than $25 and the DVD for less than $15 even for new movies. I don't think this is going to deter movie piracy either but those who want an alternative to the video rental store have a great one here.
