We spend a lot of time sitting in front of a computer. Eight hours out of 24 we spend at work. That's a third of our life. Whether we're working or playing, it's how we spend most of the day. So we should choose an armchair as thoroughly as we should choose a bed, where we also spend a third of our life. Yes, of course we can sit at the computer though on a stool, but still every person wants comfort. That is the main purpose of the recently very popular gaming chairs. Although the term "gamer" is not quite correct: you want to sit comfortably not only during the game, but also in the workplace. And now the colors of such chairs have become more. Not just colored glaring, but more restrained monochrome. Manufacturers of gaming chairs a huge amount, as well as the range. The price range is also enormous. Today the editorial staff of gg try to tell our readers how to choose the right chair and what features to pay attention to the first.

Before we start this difficult conversation, it is worth saying that we will only talk about using Windows 8 with tablets . Microsoft is still preparing a version of Windows RT for ARM processors, which will require a complete rejection of Microsoft's sacred cow - support for apps built for Intel processors that use different instructions. If Windows 7 touch support was a frank compromise and spawned a whole class of useless and frankly useless tablets, then Windows 8 is another system by ideology where Microsoft has started to move in the direction of tablets and phones (meaning the unity of the code with Windows Phone 8, providing programmers "easy" porting for both platforms). Nevertheless, working version of Windows 8 RTM which won't differ from final version (no dramatic improvements will be available) seems to be the main operating system for desktops and laptops. And a complete failure (and nobody needs it) for tablets.

If you remember, in March a French veteran in the production of tablets published a teaser, which showed the announced today a 10-inch tablet Archos 101 XS with a thickness of 7.6 mm and a docking station in the form of a keyboard, like the ASUS Padfone and ASUS Transformer series.

Today, a vacancy appeared on the Microsoft website, the description of which indicates that within the next 18 months the company will release updates of all key products, including client and server versions of Windows, Office and Xbox. It will be appropriate to recall the recent leakage of the design document describing the new generation of Xbox, which contains numerous references by 2013. So we are waiting for the new "X-box" for the next New Year.

The other day, Microsoft announced the launch of a limited series of consoles Xbox 360 Limited Edition Halo 4 based on the game of the same name.

Everyone understands under the word "decorations" something special, especially when it comes to such a device as a smartphone. But, you see, the most common and simple way to please the eye, using your favorite gadget is the new "wallpaper". Well, and to delight the ear during the incoming call can be the original ringtone.

While Sony is busy with the acquisition of the gaming cloud service Gaikai, Microsoft quietly registers several domains, by the names of which one can not only assume that their new console will be called Xbox 8, but also that the company may have a smartphone, tablet and TV on the Xbox theme .

While we enjoyed rest and football on weekends, the rest of the world's Internet community was already reading the leaked multi-page 2010 document, which tells a lot about Microsoft's plans for the gaming industry, in particular, the yet unannounced Xbox 720 game console, its debut at the end of 2013 at a price of $ 300 for a kit with a Kinect 2 controller. It is not known how truthful this document is, but if it was quickly removed from the source, then there is something in it.

At the E3 show, Microsoft introduced smart glasses to the Xbox SmartGlass service, designed to tie tablets, smartphones, computers and other devices with Xbox 360 consoles.

In addition to the EliteBook series, the ProBook series was also upgraded, in many respects similar to the first. It includes 7 laptops with a diagonal of 14 to 17 inches: 4440s, 4540s, 4545s, 4740s, 6470b, 6475b and 6570b.

Now only the lazy do not let out the robotic vacuum cleaners and, as a consequence, there is a desperate war for the purses of consumers, so the manufacturers from the leather are climbing, inventing their own features. So, Sharp equipped the Coco-Bobo robot cleaner with several cameras, a microphone and a speaker for voice control or remote - using a smartphone. Also, the Japanese proudly tell you that you can chat with their novelty. True, "chat" - this is loudly said, since after each voice command, the robot only cackles answers with the sacramental "I understand" (I understood). The price is stated in the area of ​​$ 1600-1700, but we are not interested because the device will be sold only in Japan, for now.

And although they produce a lot of decent wireless headsets, companies try not to forget about those who are used to the good old wires. A new wired stereo headset Plantronics .Audio 622 is just from that opera.
