  • Microsoft Surface blamed for NFL football playoffs meltdown

    While I can understand bashing the competition... unfortunately, this issue can't be blamed on the Microsoft Surface (or Microsoft at all). As has been reported on (and confirmed by) the NFL before, the issue has nothing to do with the Surface. Rather, it's the NFL's servers and application that went down (hence why it goes down across multiple teams at the same time). The tablet runs an application that connects to NFL servers and pulls in data including pictures, replay information, etc. It is that system that has been going down recently. To be honest, while Microsoft has paid a large sum of money for their tablets to be shown and used, the entire process is technically platform agnostic. They can run the application on anything. Unfortunately, it wouldn't matter which tablet they chose in these cases... if their servers are down, then there is nothing that can be done.

  • Poll: What is your favorite email app for OS X?

    The title of this should be "What's your favorite third-party email client for OS X?" Then, at least, it would make some sense. I think that the vast majority of OS X users are likely using Apple Mail (along with other Apple applications). While these apps may have a following, I think that they are going to be the minority of Apple users. And, even then, there are tons of posts online about good alternatives to Apple Mail for those who want that.
