"Force Friday" may be over, but there is plenty more Star Wars goodness coming soon.
How soon? On Sept. 10, the free-to-play Star Wars: Uprising mobile game will release on iOS and Android devices. Even if you aren't a gamer, the game is definitely worth paying attention to. The game is official canon, taking place after the events of Return of the Jedi in the Anoat sector of the Star Wars galaxy. After the Emperor's death, Imperial leaders have quarantined the section of the galaxy to maintain tight control, using the formidable new Purge Troopers to enforce the Empire's iron will.
The Anoat sector just so happens to be the home of Hoth and Bespin, two locations Star Wars fans are no doubt familiar with thanks to their appearances in The Empire Strikes Back. Uprising will, along with the recently released Star Wars: Aftermath novel, help pave the way for the state of the Star Wars universe in preparation for Star Wars: The Force Awakens in December.
As for how the game plays, it's a cooperative dungeon crawler that doesn't look all that different from Blizzard's popular Diablo series, only with laser pistols instead of crossbows and Stormtroopers instead of demons. Players work together to battle various Imperial enemies using their unique skills, and upon defeating those enemies are rewarded with items of various quality to improve their characters.
You can check out the game's announcement trailer below. Head here for a list of all the new Star Wars toys that recently hit store shelves (including ones that dive into spoiler territory). Star Wars: The Force Awakens lands in theaters on Dec. 18.

There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
