The Humble Store Debut Sale

Those of you who have read my last post on the Humble Bundle already know how much love I have for their particular way of doing business. After all, how many businesses lay out exactly where your money goes this clearly with a charity being supported quite generously to boot?

From their own page:

Here’s where your Humble Store dollars go*: 10% Charity, 75% Creator, 15% Humble Tip."

Their description:

Here’s where your Humble Store dollars go*: 10% Charity, 75% Creator, 15% Humble Tip.

Just a few hours in and they've already amassed over $21,000 and still counting. This is with games that I've personally never heard of. As usual, they are clearly marked if they are multi-platform like so:

Steam, Mac, Windows, Linux AND it's DRM free? How much "Win" can one product have?

To make it clear, I have no affiliation with this company. I just have a ton of respect for how they have conducted their business and am sharing it with the rest of you. Until next time readers!

Clean up your Facebook activity log with Absterge

Lifesperience is now Raycommend, which can be found here: Ray Commend Facebook is a platform that tends to elicit many different reactions from people when asked. Whether you love it or hate it, every day millions of people from all over the world and all walks of life log on to the site or one of its various apps to catch up with family and friends.

Retron 5 hacked to launch RetroArch and play ROMS off your SD card

In the video shown, various emulators that are not part of the original firmware are playable including the PC Engine, Playstation One, Nintendo DS, and Wonderswan.

In most of instances shown in the video, emulation appeared to run smooth, and the games previewed looked playable. Currently, Hyperkin (Retron 5 manufacturer) is in hot water with Retroarch's creators due to using their emulator cores without permission.

While the Microsoft store has been slowly getting more apps geared towards touch devices, there are still many notable apps missing such as HBO GO, or Showtime Anytime, Temple Run, Instagram, etc. Some times there are third party replacements, and some times there are not. The good news is that you may not have to wait to use your favorite app on Windows 8.x. There is a program by the name of Bluestacks that will allow you to run Android apps in Windows as close to natively as possible. Think of
