Week In Review (Sep 15 – Sep 19)

Purchase of the Week After about a week of rumors and reports, Microsoft made it official that it was buying Mojang, the developer of the certified hit game Minecraft. A lot of questions, however, remain on what kind of an approach the software titan will take with this $2.5 billion investment. Time be the judge.

Promise of the Week

They don’t call Intel the most influential technology company of all time for nothing. The chip giant has been found wanting in the mobile sphere for far too long, but seems to be make the right moves now. The upcoming Broadwell based Core M series promises much in terms of performance and power.

Steadfastness of the Week

Call of the Week

The Surface Pro 3, however, changed this positively, appearing on magazine covers multiple times. Most recently on the UK based PC Pro.]]>
