    After the Dust Settles: iPhone 5 Launch Review

    Like Judgement Day, the apocalypse and every other world-ending ‘oh my god, this is a life changing moment’ we seem to have every other year, the introduction of a new iPhone seemingly takes over people’s lives. Apple drops a new iPhone once a year and, in 2012, it was the turn of the iPhone 5, but what’s new; what have they failed at and just how popular has it become?

    Well, it’s fair to say there was a hell of a lot of people disappointed with the initial launch of the iPhone 5.

    Windows 8 Will Make or Break Microsoft

    Microsoft has long dominated the desktop platform. No other company was even close. They enjoyed a dominance unlike anything we had seen before. Then the early part of the last decade saw a revived Apple begin to chip away at Microsoft dominance. Apple would go on to release devices that would change the way we worked, learned, and communicated.

    Apple’s rise lead to many seeing Microsoft as the old technology company that just didn’t ‘get it.’ Microsoft would continue to release newer versions of Windows, some good and some really bad, and newer version of their office suite – Microsoft Office. While doing so, one thing became apparent – it just didn’t seem they could innovate anymore.

    With Apple continuing to be the darling of the technology world, and Google entering the mobile device world with their Android operating system, Microsoft was beginning to be left behind. One thing started to become clear: they needed to reinvent what they have or disappear from the technology world.
