Play Audio – WTAM 1100 Newsradio – Tech Tuesday – October 7th, 2014
Microsoft showed off their upcoming Windows 10 operating system, due sometime mid to late 2015. The return of the Start menu, and better compatibility with 2-in-1 devices were some of the many features announced.

WTAM 1100 – Geek Squad – September 12th, 2011
There seems to be a rise in the number of phone or email scams falsely using the Microsoft name going around lately. I had a chance to speak to the Wills & Snyder show on Cleveland’s WTAM 1100 Newsradio this morning.

WTAM 1100 – Geek Squad – Gaming Trends for 2011
Considering that video games generate nearly as much revenue as blockbuster movies these days, it’s easy to see why there was so much buzz going on about what the big 3 names (Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft) were planning for the next year.
Earlier in the month, over 45,000 gaming industry and media members flocked to the Los Angeles Convention center for the Electronic Entertainment Expo, or E3. Best Buy and the Geek Squad were there with our take on all the gaming announcements.
I had a chance to speak to Bill Wills about the gaming trends I’m seeing for the rest of the year on today’s WTAM 1100’s Wills & Snyder radio show.
An update to the Xbox 360 software today made available a few new services for Xbox Live users. Facebook, Twitter and Last.fm all now have apps in the My Community tab
Personally, I’m not sure how often I’ll use the new features, if only because they don’t offer quite the number of features more mature Facebook and Twitter clients have on other platforms.
For those of us already on Twitter, it’ll certainly help make the service even more popular with the general public, which may or may not be a good thing.
Still, it’s an interesting upgrade for players looking to keep up with their friends and family’s social media content, all without leaving the couch.
