A Well Thought Out And Unbiased Review By An Impartial Person…NOT
Macworld UK was put up what may be the 2nd worst review I’ve ever read.
I mean I could put up a review saying OSX is software used by ignorant, less than savy, Starbucks drinking, non-shower taking, basement dwelling hipsters. You would have no reason to listen to a word I say based on the fact I’ve demonstrated a hostile and perhaps irrational hatred of all things Apple.

The Worst Review I’ve Ever Read
Vista 10 Inherently Broken, Anti-Competitive (Against GNU/Linux and Free Software), Privacy-Infringing, and Definitely Not Secure

It Doesn’t Sound Like Him
Dr. Hawking’s speech software is now available for free. The first problem is it doesn’t sound like Steve. The second problem is it is buggy as all get out, under Win 7 at least. Could be worse. It doesn’t run on Macs at all.

Hey Morons, Google “Barbara Ann”
Some young cop decided it was necessary to body slam a 61 year old man who was singing Barbara Ann and, from the looks of it, had probably just finished a cocktail or 6. Reporters all over the country repeated the line “he was singing the Beach Boys song Barbara Ann”.
I’m a huge Beach Boys fan. As such I can say with certainty that the Beach Boys WERE NOT the first to sing Barbara Ann.
The song was first recorded by The Regents in 1958, released in 1961, and COVERED by the Beach Boys in 1965.

Windows 10 Benchmarks Roundup
Below are several benchmarks articles for Win10. They cover general use, gaming, SSD’s, and audio.
In general they found performance on par with Windows 8. Folks running new SSD’s on PCIe NVMe should look at upgrading. Ditto for people working with audio.
For the gaming benchmarks, keep in mind DX12 games are just coming out.
If you know of a benchmark article that should be included let me know.

Creative Sound Blaster Win10 Drivers
I was hard on Creative for not having Win10 drivers up at launch. They’ve been hard at work on it since then. It seems a couple of new drivers get done every day. To the folks at Creative cranking out those drivers:
Nicely done!
