FREE Microsoft Office with all Windows 8 Ultrabooks!

Today Microsoft rolled out a big set of updates covering a whole swath of their core Windows 8 apps. That includes Mail, Calendar, and People apps of course but there have been updates to others too. These core apps were made particularly to help you seamlessly manage your communications on your Windows 8 and Windows RT devices across multiple accounts. These updates should not only help out with improving performance, but provide some new features making it easier to connect with people, easier to organize  your life, and make the whole thing more effortless to manage.

These days you can play video games on almost any gadget it seems. I’m a big gamer myself. I love console gaming, PC gaming, even mobile gaming. One of my favorites over the past year has been gaming on tablets. A lot of gamers don’t realize it yet, but tablets are fantastic for gaming. There are so many great games you can play on them - the formfactor means you can play virtually anywhere, they have nice big screens compared to smartphones, and the touch controls can facilitate some unique game-play mechanics.

Despite what the slick image says, Future Shop confirms the Surface Windows 8 Pro is launching at Future Shop stores and Futureshop.ca on Saturday, February 9, 2013.
