Microsoft's Surface Pro is generally regarded as the best Surface yet, which makes plenty of sense if you have enough faith in Microsoft for even the software giant to not take the product backwards. Unfortunately though, even with the improvements that have gone into the Surface Pro 3, some users are still finding that it doesn't quite live up to their expectations on a few different levels, with the stylus being one of the issues they're complaining about.

Zayed Rehman·October 11, 2014

The iOS vs. Android debate has been the rage for quite some time now in this world of mobile technology. And on top of that, Apple vs. Samsung lawsuits are hardly surprising anymore today. However, that said, Apple has been around way longer than Google has, and so has Microsoft. The rivalry between Apple and Microsoft is one based primarily on the computer generation, starting from the earliest days of the desktop. To this age, the OS X vs. Windows debate carries on, where PC users are corporate drones, and Mac users are well, blinded by brand. To their defense, PC users are a more intelligent breed while their Mac counterparts are creative thinkers with a taste for aesthetics. What does this speak about the general users of these brands?

Here’s What Bill Gates Has To Say About Apple Pay

Ben Reid·October 5, 2014

Bill Gates is rather infrequent with his commentary on the tech industry these days, and although he plays a more proactive role at Microsoft under the new guidance of the recently appointed CEO Satya Nadella, he doesn't often speak out publicly. Given his status as one of the most influential figures in the business, though, his rare utterances often garner a fair amount of attention, and with rival Apple now preparing to launch Apple Pay, Gates has only praise for what the competition is doing for mobile payments on a large scale.
