The IRS isn’t exactly known for playing fast and loose with deadlines—your deadlines, that is. But when it comes to its own, its apparently a lot more willing to take their chances. In this case, that means paying millions of dollars to keep running Windows XP long after the deadline has come and gone.

Earlier this morning, there were rumors going around concerning the release of Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview later today, and it seems that such a rumor was spot on – as Microsoft had already made available the preview version of Windows Phone 8.1. Right now, this operating system remains in its penultimate form, and has been made available to developers so that they can test it out for bugs and other possible hiccups before it is released to the masses.
Those who happen to be members of Microsoft’s developer community can take the step to download the preview without having to fork out a single cent. Apart from that, it will also comprise of all the features which happen to make up the revised operating system, where among them include the much talked about Cortana personal assistant, a brand new Start screen, and the Action Center.
Microsoft has warned that this particular update might actually void device warranties, since carrier and manufacturer software updates are not part of the developer preview. It is widely expected for Microsoft to introduce Windows Phone 8.1 to the masses later this coming summer. Do bear in mind that a preview update will only include the Microsoft portion of the update, whereby mobile operator and OEM driver updates will be released when the official update for your smartphone is available.

There are times in life when we do not see the need to actually perform an upgrade to our existing hardware or car, simply because we love the current model, and have no need for something newer and better. However, technology moves at such a breakneck speed, that whatever is deemed as top of the range today might end up as obsolete just a short few months down the road. Let’s say you have a really good pair of headphones that you purchased a couple of years back, and love it to bits. Now that everyone’s jumped aboard the wireless bandwagon, what choice have you? Enter the $39.99 Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver, where it is capable of turning your favorite pair of headphones into a Bluetooth-compatible model.
The audio controls on the Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver would let you adjust the volume level, pause, and skip tracks, with the ability to switch seamlessly between audio and phone functions to boot. It will also be able to work with a speaker if you so desire, despite being designed for headphones primarily. Sporting a wireless range of 30 feet, the Smartbean Bluetooth Wireless Receiver has a rechargeable battery that delivers approximately 6 hours of talk time on a full charge.

Originally marketed in 1979, the first Sony Walkman turns 35 this year, and it’s about as outmoded as a technology can be these days. That’s why it’s understandable that the kids in this delightful video, none of whom were alive in the 90s, have no idea how to use the thing. Or what it’s for. They can’t even conceive a world in which a Walkman is useful.
In the year 2013, the Huawei Ascend P6 was launched, where it was touted to be the slimmest smartphone that ran on the Android mobile operating system, sporting a really sleek looking metallic chassis to boot. This showed that Huawei was serious about making a splash in the design department where its hardware is concerned. Having said that, Huawei has been working on a successor to the Ascend P6, which is known as the Huawei Ascend P7 – and should its most recent leaked photos of the chassis point out anything, it would be the fact that it comes with a premium design that ditches the plastic look that lower end or entry level Android-powered smartphones come with.
The Huawei Ascend P7 is touted to come with a 5″ 1080p display, a quad-core 1.6GHz HiSilicon chipset, 2GB RAM, 16GB of internal memory, a 13MP camera at the back, and an 8MP camera in front. The particular battery that comes with it ought to have a possible capacity of 2,460mAh. Apart from that, the Huawei Ascend P7 is touted to run on the most recent Android 4.4 KitKat operating system version, arriving in possibe shades of pink, gold, silver, and black. I guess we will know more about the Huawei Ascend P7 when it is officially released this May 7th.
