Picks
Tip of the week: Read up on our industry
My first compilation of great (electronic) industry books is now available … These are just my purchases (Audible, Kindle) from the past 2.5 years, and these are only the good/notable ones. Second list soon.
Plus: Catch up on my Windows Phone tips series. Since last week: Battery Saver, use Gmail/Google accounts, master the custom volume settings and mirror your phone’s screen wirelessly … Or wired, using USB!
Plus: OneDrive tips – Map OneDrive as a drive letter or use a third-party utility instead of putting up with dodgy sync
Software pick of the week: Unchecky
Unchecky – install this on your friends’ and family’s PCs. You’ll be happy you did.
Plus: Office Lens Android exits beta. Must-have app on all mobile platforms.
Enterprise pick of the week: SQL Server 2016
The first public preview — rather confusingly called CTP2 — of SQL Server 2016 is available as of today
Codename pick of the week: Basel
MS needs to pick a new name for Metro, as in Metro Design Language. MDL 2.0 is codenamed Basel. Now… what’s the real name going to be??
Beer pick of the week: Beavertown Brewing’s Bloody ‘Ell
An excellent British brewer making a delicious blood orange IPA: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/30471/94738/
Audible pick of the week: Losing the Signal
Losing the Signal: The Untold Story Behind the Extraordinary Rise and Spectacular Fall of BlackBerry is a fantastic look at a truly innovative company that lost it all thanks to the iPhone. But then so did every other existing smart phone company on earth.
