Tips and picks

Tip of the week: Managing Your Photo Collection in the Smart Phone Age

For years, I managed digital photos much like digital music, replicating the collection across multiple devices and to the cloud to ensure that our precious memories were never lost. But in a recurring theme, smart phones have changed everything. And it’s time to adapt to this change.

AppRaisin app pick of the week: Bank of America

This week, Bank of America launched a new Universal Windows Platform (UWP) app for its customers. The app works on both PCs and Mobile, and brings sophisticated mobile banking capabilities to the Windows ecosystem.

Bonus pick: Google Motion for iOS is amazing.

Enterprise pick of the week: How to run Windows 10 client on Azure

If you’re a Windows 10 Enterprise user with Software Assurance, you’ll be able to run Windows 10 on Azure via Citrix’s Xen Desktop later this year.

Bonus pick: Microsoft’s GigJam preview is now available for all Windows, Mac, iPhone, iPad testers.

Codename pick of the week: Highlander

Highlander, aka the Office Planner, is starting to roll out to Office 365 users as of this week.

Beer pick of the week: Cascade Brewing Kriek Ale

Brewed with four kinds of cherries. Check. Aged a year in oak. Check.  A sour in the ‘Belgian Flanders’ style. Check. It’s pricey and sort of rare, as it’s seasonal, but totally worth finding this delight from Portland, if you can: http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/cascade-kriek-ale/82022/
