Picks and tips

Windows Weekly tip of the week: Duplicate most iCloud features today in Windows

Windows 7 app pick: Kinect SDK for Windows

Windows Phone 7 app pick: Evernote for Windows Phone 7

Audible pick of the week: Solaris: The Definitive Edition by Stanislaw Lem with Bill Johnston (translator) - Narrated by Alessandro Juliani. Excellent Polish sci-fi novel finally translated properly to English. There was a major Hollywood movie of this with George Clooney, but also a less-well known Russian version, which is on Netflix. (BTW, Alessandro Juliani was Lieutenant Gaeta on BSG. Excellent reading of the book.)

And of course ...

Go the F--k to Sleep by Adam Mansbach, Narrated by Samuel L. Jackson. It's free!
