To The Cloud..............

Everyone is talking about the cloud. Are they talking about that fluffy looking sheep floating up in the sky? Sadly, no. The cloud functions as digital storage for all of your files. Your files are stored on a server which can then accessed anywhere in the world. MSNBC ran an article to help you find out which cloud is best for you, To The Cloud......

Personally, I'd like to store all my stuff on cloud 9!

Microsoft Technology vs. Mustang


The people at Microsoft have out done themselves! They teamed up with West Coast Customs to outfit a classic Mustang with the lastest technology from Microsoft. The car is oufitted with a Windows operating system, phone, Xbox 360, Kinect, and Bing. Microsoft wanted to show the world the endless possibilities that could be created when you paired modern technology with a classic car. Actually any car. Microsoft wants you to be able to take their technology and use it in your own car. You can view the entire article here at Yahoo Autos: Microsoft Mustang.
