Picks
Tip of the week: Get great deals on music
Microsoft's new Music Deals app helps you save money on albums. Why a separate app? I have a theory.
Software pick of the week: Office Mix
Microsoft's amazing web-based Office Mix utility is updated with live mixing, edit capabilities, and gallery search.
Plus: HERE for Android
Enterprise pick of the week: Microsoft Cloud Platform
For only $1.6 million (and up), you too can get your own Azure in a box. And you thought iPads were expensive.
Codename pick of the week: Frosting
What Microsoft product was the icing on the cake?
Beer pick of the week: Pretty Things
While Colorado is clearly the Belgium of America, we're blessed these days by many excellent local breweries. And while my favorite here in Massachusetts is Blue Hills Brewery, Pretty Things is a close second. And their Baby Tree--a killer Belgian/Abbey-style quadruple--is one of my all-time favorites and a great winter beer.
