Hasta La Gadget!

The Microsoft Surface Pro 3 has certainly gone through quite a bit of adventure on the news front recently, especially when one takes into consideration the alleged overheating issues that Microsoft has already promised a fix for it. Still, the business class tablet has been released in another 25 more markets recently, and word has it that the Surface Pro 3 is doing pretty well for itself over in the U.K.

In fact, it does look as though just about every store location in the United Kingdom has run out of their current Surface Pro 3 stock. Is this due to extremely high demand, or basically there is very little stock sent out in the first place by the folks over at Microsoft to test out the new markets?

It seems like stores such as Currys and Argos are more or less sold out of every single configuration of the Surface Pro 3 imaginable, and perhaps Currys’ move of putting up a £100 discount when it comes to laptops and similar devices made the Surface Pro 3 all the more appealing. Hopefully Microsoft will move swift enough to solve this problem, which is a good problem to have in the first place. Are you willing to give the Surface Pro 3 a go yourself?

HTC and tablets do not really make for a good marriage as what had transpired in the past did not prove inspirational for the Taiwanese company, although they look set to strain ahead and move forward with the rumored Nexus 9 from Google, where HTC is touted to be the hardware manufacturer for this device. Well, how about phablets? HTC has had better luck in this particular department, and in the latest rumor that hails from the serial leakster over at @upleaks, it would be the HTC Y5 that would come under scrutiny this time around.

The HTC Y5 is said to be a mid-range phablet that will be powered by the YellowStone mobile operating system, and it is headed towards the CMCC. As for its hardware specifications, it does look as though the HTC Y5 will be close to the HTC Desire 816.

Just to refresh our memories on what the HTC Desire 816 offers and to get a better idea on what the HTC Y5 might bring with it in the end, we are most probably looking at a 5.5″ display at 720p resolution, 8GB of internal memory, a microSD memory card slot, a Snapdragon 400 chipset, a 13MP shooter at the back with a 5MP shooter in front, and perhaps even a BoomSound loudspeaker. Are you stoked yet?

Windows Phone’s Cortana is slowly but surely growing in stature, as the users start to discover all of the little details that this digital personal assistant is capable of. In fact, some of the features have been a so-called staple on Siri and Google Now, but this does not mean that Cortana users will have to lag behind. No sir, with Cortana, you too, are able to get a grasp of the worldwide time, and this feature comes in especially handy if you are about to make a long distance call across different time zones, but have not quite mastered the nuances of addition and subtraction just yet.

Apart from being able to tell the different time zones in the world, Cortana is also able to handle currency conversion – pretty useful if you are in a spot and need to find out just how much something overseas cost before you perform a conversion yourself here. Both of these features are old hat to Siri and Google Now, but for Cortana users, it is always nice to know that at least this digital personal assistant is on par with its far more famous mobile operating system rivals.

What are the other things about Cortana that you love over Siri and Google Now?

Early last month, we brought you word on new Apple Campus 2 photos that depicted some concrete foundation work that went on, and this time around, there is something far more interesting that you might want to take note of – a drone which has been outfitted with a camera managed to take to the skies to capture a drone’s eye view of the upcoming Apple Campus.

Of course, there is a sense of excitement about it, as I am quite sure that many of us would be able to remember how when Apple first introduced plans for their upcoming new campus, most folks did say something about it being a “mothership” of sorts, or something in that vein. This particular project has been going on for quite some time already, and progress has been made – although it is still one year behind the original schedule, not to mention seeing its costs balloon by more than a couple of billion. Still, that is chump change to Apple considering the value of the company today.

Twitter user @jmcminn hooked up a GoPro camera to his DJI Phantom 2 drone before navigating it over the new Apple Campus’ construction site, and there is just an overwhelming sense of awe when one takes into consideration the overall size of Apple’s upcoming campus. Hopefully it will be on track to meet the 2016 opening date.
