Tech NewsNYC phone booths to get second lives as slate stalls

Believe it or not, but there are still hundreds, nay, thousands of phone booths out there on the streets of New York City. Most of them go untouched — though, usually that has more to do with some mysterious substance covering the handset.

The city is preparing to update this urban staple by replacing the touch tone quarter eaters with 32-inch touchscreens.

The phone booth will now become your one stop shop for restaurant suggestions, local landmark locations with more information to be added over time.

Tech NewsThe newest iPad is out
I don’t need to say much just Google for ipadand seen the bazillions of articles. There is one I read where a lady got in line several days before they went on sale (she was #3 in line) and sold her place to a guy for $5,000. Proof that some people are truly insane.Windows 8 Consumer Preview
The next Windows Operating System, cleverly named, “Windows 8″ has a consumer preview available to anyone who wants to give it a whirl. This is ONLY for you if you are geeky enough to install it virtually on an existing computer or you have a computer you don’t mind installing it on and then running W8 as your main system.

I have been using it for a week or so and so far I’m not that impressed…unless it is on a tablet PC. For a notebook or desktop I would stick with W7 at least as it stands now.

It bothers me that their online video shows media galore, email and not much else. Why don’t they push some office compatibility.
