02 How to change the default app for a file on OS X
We have gotten used to double clicking a file and having an app open it.
However what do you do if that app isn't the one you want to use on a regular basis?

07 11 Virtual Reality (VR) Glasses Compared
Virtual reality glasses and head mounted displays have jumped

They are not ubiquitous, or even part of the mainstream yet,
but they are definitely gaining something of a cult following.

08 Spotify Admits Defeat Already
Did you try Spotify? Well so did we, and we thought it sucked.
Poor interface, frequent function errors, bad search engine and more.
Young people find it great -- but that's just because they're used
to crappy software these days and really don't
know what good software is.
