Create a VM Using Windows 10 Hyper-V Let’s take a look at setting up a Virtual Machine using the built-in Hyper-V technology. The benefits include the ability to run multiple operating systems at the same time as long as you have enough hardware resources. Personally, I decided to do this because I need to do some compatibility testing. Hyper-V is also an excellent way to try and test apps before using them in your primary production environment....

Are you a steampunk fan? Then you’re so gonna love this! There is a person on etsy.com that actually replaces the buttons in Xbox 360 controllers with real fired 9 mm bullet buttons. He shoots the shells with his gun and then places them in the controller. The funny part is that the thing actually claims to work just like a regular Xbox 360 controller (at least that’s what the manufacturer says)....

This week join host Josh Windisch, Austin Krause, and Brian Burgess discuss the goings on in tech from the past week. T-mobile is offering a new “contractless” subscription model for their phones. The company also announced you’ll be able to get the iPhone 5, HTC One, and Samsung’s Galaxy S3. The new plan sounds interesting, but it’s still not a “pure” no contract prepaid service. Apple beefs up security for their Apple IDs by incorporating Two-Step Verification....

Neha Sangwan, physician and communications strategist, talked about the role communications plays in medicine. She got very emotional and even shed a few tears as she remembered the things her patients told her about the messages they believed their ailments were sending them. She believes that many of the medical problems people experience actually can be traced back to communication issues with themselves or loved ones — that communication could be the cure long before a prescription needs to be written....

Track All Your Serial Numbers, Keep a Copy at Home Things like laptops, tablets, and phones get lost or stolen all the time at college. The first thing the police will ask for is the serial number of the device so they can track it. The problem is that you, the parent, usually bought the computer, and you have the box and receipt at home. During a crisis, you won’t always be able to track this information down in time....

Radiohead’s Thom Yorke Spotify Protest Hits Twitter The pair have removed a Thom Yorke solo album The Eraser, as well as the latest album from side project Atoms For Peace, that Godrich is a member of. Yorke has criticized Spotify’s business model, saying that new artists on the service won’t get paid, while shareholders of the service will be “rolling in it.” In a number of tweets, Nigel Godrich says that streaming makes sense for large record companies or artists, with huge back catalogs, but that making records costs a lot of money and small labels and artists can’t survive in these conditions....

Recent Feature Improvements in Twitter for iOS Let’s start with a design change. Twitter’s default profile icon has been represented by an unhatched egg for many years. As you already know, the app’s mascot is a blue bird. The new icon aligns with other social networks. Twitter has also switched to rounded profiles, popularized in desktop operating systems such as Windows 10 and macOS. Personally, it wouldn’t make a difference either way, but it does remove a unique identifier associated with Twitter....

The update cleans up the WinSxS store, a place where Windows stores old update files. That’s done so you can later roll back to previous updates in case something doesn’t work as expected. Remember that, if you use this cleanup method, you may not be able to get back to an older update. However, in my experience, it’s rarely needed, if ever, and you can do it manually if it’s absolutely necessary....

Microsoft is (slowly) rolling out a new Outlook.com infrastructure built on top of a foundation based on Office 365. Windows Live Mail doesn’t support the protocols for this new foundation, so you’ll no longer be able to send or receive Outlook....
