Every time we use Apple Pay to buy anything from coffee at Starbucks, groceries or anything at stores it does feel cool and almost magic like although Apple doesn’t really convey this feeling when it shows it’s own ads, so Australia thought it would have a go.

Windows 10 now owns 14.35% of the market

Since the launch last year in July, Microsoft had a rocky yet successful start with Windows 10.

I’ve been using Windows 10 for quite a few months now, actually since January when it officially first came out on the Insider Program. Since then it has had it’s up and downs for random restarts and bugs but despite most things it has been good.
