Picks

Tip of the week: Get 100 GB of free OneDrive storage for two years!

Get 100 GB free from Bing Rewards for two years. This one is only valid through the end of February 2015 (and it may be US-only), but if you visit Bing Rewards, you can get 100 GB of additional storage free for two years.

Hardware pick of the week: Nokia Wireless Charging Plate DT-903 Review

It’s finally available. And makes tons of sense if you have a Lumia Denim-equipped smart phone.

Enterprise pick of the week: Windows Server 2016

Refactoring, refactoring, refactoring: http://www.zdnet.com/article/whats-next-for-microsofts-windows-server-2016/

(maybe this is why the OS is being pushed back to next year)

Rumor of the week: The Microsoft pen will become mightier than the stylus

Sources say the Surface pen may also be the pen for some of the next-gen Windows Phones in the pipeline

Beer pick of the week: Adnams Tally-Ho

With all the snow lately, it’s a nice time for a winter/seasonal beer. But you don’t want to fall while shoveling. So here’s one that’s not too over the top (even though it’s classified as a “barley wine”): http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/adnams-tally-ho/4727/
