ZooGue iPhone 5 Screen Shield Installation

ZooGue released its iPhone 5 front screen shield for only $9.99. In this video, we look at how the installation for this shield works.

Note: In my first install attempt, a giant air bubble formed around a dust particle that stuck to the shield. After contacting ZooGue, I received a replacement shield 7 days later for no cost and no questions asked.

Stay tuned for my full review of the ZooGue iPhone 5 Screen Shield, which will be posted soon.

Twitter app in Windows 8

Windows 8, Microsoft’s upcoming upgrade to the Windows operating system, has a unique feature: apps.  For the first time ever, you will be able to download and run apps on your Windows PC.  One of the pre-installed apps in Windows 8 is Tweet@rama, which is a twitter client.

To see Tweet@rama in action, watch the video.  For more Windows 8 coverage, subscribe to our channel and check out our Windows 8 playlist, a complete collection of our Windows 8 videos.

News app in Windows 8

One of my favorite new features in Windows 8 is the ability to download apps.  While Microsoft is not allowing developers to test the app store just yet, the developer preview of Windows 8 comes with several pre-installed apps.

In our Windows 8 series, I will be highlighting some of the apps that Windows 8 is loaded with.  Let’s start off with my favorite pre-loaded app, News.  News is an RSS reader that stylistically displays stories loaded from the RSS.  News gives you several RSS options to start off with.  You can also add a custom RSS feed to monitor just about any site with an RSS feed.

News reminds me of Pulse for iOS: it intelligently displays the news headlines in small cubes.  When you click a cube, it expands the story on a very clean, black-on-white design.  The News app has quickly become my favorite means of keeping up with the latest posts that my favorite websites are making.  Speaking of favorite websites, one of those, Lockergnome, wrote an article on the News app and if it will change the way we read news.  To be honest, News has already changed the way that I read news.  I haven’t opened Pulse or Flipboard on my iPad in the past few days.

However, to fully grasp the concept of News, you have to watch our corresponding video.

We will be highlighting many more apps that come with Windows 8, so make sure to stay tuned for those!  Also, let us know what you think about the News application by leaving a comment.

Dual Monitors in Windows 8

With the redesigned interface in Windows 8, one could wonder how the next Windows upgrade would handle dual monitors.  We previously discussed how to multitask in Windows 8, which is somewhat similar to this topic.  However, the way that Windows 8 handles an extra display is very smart.  To see for yourself, watch the attached video.

You might also be interested in our other Windows 8 videos, as we continue this series aimed to give you an informed view of Windows 8 before it is released to the public.
