Reviews and News for Thursday September 25th 2014

So I’m Windows 8, I’ve had it for a long time but finally installed it. Actually no, I had it installed for about a week and then uninstalled it, but I’m back to it and I still don’t like it as I really miss the sidebar gadgets and the real start menu. The tiles don’t work most of the time, they’re supposed to be live and updating but most of them don’t work right. I’ve been trying to find a weather tile that live updates and tried numerous ones and only found one that updates but it doesn’t have all the info I want like my gadget did on Win7. I wish there was a way to put the tiles on the desktop like gadgets, that would be nice. Anyway, read the news…
