Microsoft Will Finish Windows 10 in June

For those tapping your fingers together feverishly waiting for the newest OS for their PC’s, looks like Microsoft will be finishing up Windows 10 in June. While that may seem like a short time between announcement and release, they followed a very similar template with Windows 8, so it’s not like they can’t deliver on their promises.

But much like all deadlines, seems like there may be some fine print. Via TechCrunch:

Windows 10 got a new build out the gate in mid-January, implying that its RTM date should be a tip before August. You know, like June.

Hold onto your hat, however, unless you’re an OEM: RTM means the code is released to companies like Dell, not the average consumer. You will have to wait a bit longer. Still, Microsoft wants to ensure that as many Windows 10-powered PCs as possible are in the market for the back-to-school sales cycle, let alone this year’s far away holiday period.

So it may be finished in June, but most of us may still have to wait to see how much better (or worse) Windows 10 is from is predecessors. Things really seem to be shaping up, though, and we have our fingers crossed on this one.

From Thinkgeek:

Ok, so the MimoPowerTube – Star Wars Series power banks don’t do anything except power your smartphones, mp3 players, etc. BUT, they are available in Star Wars designs (like Darth Vader or Luke’s Lightsaber from Episode IV), which means we instantly love them. About the same size as a C1 personal comlink, each of the MimoPowerTube – Star Wars Series power banks will boost the play time of your electricity-hungry devices. MimoPowerTube – Star Wars Series – may the Force of charging be with you.

The Science of Déjà Vu [Video]

Hmmmm, I feel like I’ve already seen this video before…

From It’s Okay To Be Smart:

Most of us have felt it before, that strange sensation that you’ve been somewhere or seen something before, as if you already remembered what’s happening. Are you psychic? Nope, that’s just déjà vu. Why does déjà vu happen? Well, scientists aren’t completely sure, but they’ve got a few good theories about it.

Heisenberg: A Breaking Bad/Toto’s Africa Parody [Video]

Just got this awesome Breaking Bad/Toto’s Africa musical parody from my pal Bonecage, and you guys just have to check it out!

Good lord do I love Breaking Bad! On my 3rd time through the show on Netflix, I thought, “This show would be ill-suited to pair with a very 80s and super-awesome Toto song!”
