An upgrade to Windows 8 was a no-brainer when it was cheap last year. Why not get better performance out of your computer for 40 bucks? Early this year, the cheap ride ended though, so now it really comes down to how bad you want that jolt? A hundred bucks worth (or more depending on the version). I would say it is worth it, if you (like me) rely heavily on your home PC, and not planning on trading up  to a new tablet or moving to something else (like a new Mac). When I say, "heavily" I mean you use the crap out of it.

Best and Worst of 2012!

Any best list is subjective, but thought I might still share the gadget and electronic stuff that helped me the most in 2012, along with one "worst" pick as well. A "Best/Worst" guide boils down to the liking (or hating) of a few features, really because they were important at the time. "Best" list usefulness depends totally on your needs. With that in mind, I caution the reader before using this post as a "Best" or "Worst" guide...

I have been running Windows 8 on my old netbook (an HP Mini-Note 2133), and for basic web browsing and email, it works quite well. It boots and runs markedly faster than Windows 7, though there has been the odd issue (Camera app crashes before the webcam comes up, etc.). Definitely not a perfect fit, but compelling enough to check out the consumer preview in a dual-boot, and use it almost exclusively for about 3 months now. There are useful ways to enhance Windows 8 access/features by using an iOS device for control. Check out how by selecting the read more link...
