    Xbox One Titanfall Bundle Gets US Price Cut

    A few weeks back, we mentioned that the price of the Xbox One and Titanfall bundle in had come down a bit in the UK. At the time, I wondered if that price cut would be coming to the US as well. We now know that the lower price is indeed coming to the US.

    Reports indicate that the price of the Xbox One and Titanfall bundle at Best Buy and Walmart is being reduced by $50. That makes the console bundle available for $450. That brings the cost of the Xbox One closer to the price of the PS4 in the US.

    However, the Xbox One is still $50 or so more than the PS4. The PS4 sells for $399, but you do get one of the best games around for the Xbox One in the bundle, so the price works out to be competitive. Interestingly the price discount is said to be coming from the retailers, not Microsoft.

    Microsoft Azure To Usher In A New Era (Rumor)

    Microsoft Azure To Usher In A New Era (Rumor)Parting is always such sweet sorrow, or so the saying goes.

Apparently, Microsoft intends to rebrand its cloud platform so that it will no longer be called ‘Windows Azure’, but rather, one would have to refer to it as ‘Microsoft Azure’ from now on as part of the software giant’s push to emphasize its cross-platform services prowess, if the anonymous tips shared online prove to have credibility.

    It's the 21st Century, So Where's My Monorail to LAX?

    It's the 21st Century, So Where's My Monorail to LAX?

    Getting people to the airport via train is a natural priority for cities around the country. When Minneapolis built its first light-rail line back in 2004 it had two major stops: the airport and downtown. But despite over two decades of modern Los Angeles embracing subways, there’s still no train to LAX. And even if the city does build one, it probably won’t look as cool as Goodell’s sleek 1963 proposal above.
