Reviews
The topic of Windows 8 can be a touchy subject for some people, due largely in part to the operating system’s new user interface. Both sides of the fence, however, will be pleased to learn that the good old Windows desktop is still around in Windows 8, and it’s better than ever. Users with multiple monitors, in particular, will be pleased by many of the changes. Full for full details, check out William’s review.
Good and EVO
Thanks to the recent update to Titanium Backup, it’s now possible to restore data backed up using Android Debug Bridge (ADB). But in order to do that, you’ll need to create a backup first. Here’s how to get started. You can also now attach your Windows mouse and keyboard to your phone and convert your 3D photos into 3D wallpaper on the HTC EVO 3D and EVO V 4G.
