New Competition for Tesla

As Tesla has released it's new Model D, there are other companies that are rising to compete with the electric car company. Porsche and Mercedes have both announced that they will be developing all-electric vehicles that would compete directly with the Model S and Model D. These cars are supposedly said to have a range of 250 miles. Porsche will probably make their Panamera all-electric, and Mercedes with its E or S class sedans.

However, Porsche's electric sedan won't be released until 2018 and Mercedes won't have theirs by 2021. So in between that time Tesla will be able to build an audience and it will get increasingly fiercer, since the Model 3 will be released soon.

Here is a link to engadget's website for the first look at Apple's new 5k retina display screen. Honestly, I don't have any words for this because I am not an Apple fan.

HTC's plans for their smartwatch are postponed

One month ago, engadget told its fans that HTC has postponed their plans for its new smartwatch. According to Re/code, they have done this because "it doesn't seem that 'anyone has gotten it right'." This week, HTC is planning to have their own launch event this week, they won't announce anything regarding their smartwatch. 

The company still wants to create its watch, but they need figure out a strategy to make the watch stand out, especially regarding battery life.

Windows 10 Preview!!

Windows 8 was a semi success in that when it was first created, people weren't too used to have a Windows computer with a start button that opens up on the bottom left corner of the screen. However, today anybody that has a Windows 8 computer will say that it is very easy to use, even if it isn't touch screen (at least that is what I say). 

Recently, Microsoft has announced their newest Windows operating system, WIndows 10! Now, it is strange for Microsoft to jump from Windows 8 to Windows 10, but they do have their reasons. The main reason why Microsoft has skipped to Windows 10 is because the name "Windows 9" ran into problems with code that was used as a shortcut to detect when apps are running on Windows 95 or Windows 98.

But now back to the main topic, Windows 10. As the preview shows, Microsoft has decided to revert back to the original start screen, which has a start button on the bottom left of the screen and when pushed, a menu appears. Additionally, features of Windows 8 have been retained like charms, but Microsoft says that more change is coming. 

Windows 10 is now available to download as a beta, but be aware that there will be plenty of bugs.
