The good news: Angry Birds in Space is the newest game of the genre and its available now. The bad new: it is only available on the iPhone, the iPad, and Android devices. But, I am sure you will be able to get it soon on computers. They can’t keep a good bird down!
And speaking of angry birds…I am done with all my rants about Windows 8. I have hammered it enough. I think you all understand my feelings by now. So, from here on, I will only report stories about Microsoft’s new operating system and will do my best to be fair….and trust me, there will be lots of stories between here and the October release date.
And speaking of predications, I said that someone would up with an add-on for Windows 8 that brings back the Start button. Well, it has already happened. The folks at Stardock have done it…so if you are running Windows 8 Consumer Preview, you can download it here. I have not tried it out as I no longer have Win 8 on any of my computers.
And be sure and check out the story on the Titanic Tweets in the #7 story below. I follow it and love it…very clever. April 15th is the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the ship that was called unsinkable. Read on…JRC

This is a result of Apple's new HD+ tablet's ability to download data at broadband-like speeds (10Mbps+) and thus enabling bandwidth-intensive applications such as Netflix, Hulu+ and even large app downloads themselves to quickly consume a 5GB or 10GB monthly data plan allotment in a matter of days.

Tech Buzz: Windows 8 and the Perception Game
For Windows 8 to succeed, buyers will have to see it as the best blend of the iPad and the MacBook Air, which is a compelling value. If they see it as an overly complex mess, it will be the next Vista. My peers are split on how this is likely to turn out.
