Torrex: The One to beat !

I was a big Windows Phone user back in the days of 8.1. And the biggest problem which plagued the otherwise excellent Operating system was the lack of apps 😑. So when the Torrex pro app came to the Windows Phone store. I wasted no time to buy the app and try it out to see if it could quench my thirst for torrents.
A little after 3years later I am not regretting my first paid app in the windows store at all ! Over the years it has gone through many improvements and with Windows 10 and windowed universal apps this app became perfect.
Like every other universal app it is easy on the resources and is simple but feature reach. The app allows me to stream video files while I download them and has almost all of the features which other desktop clients offer and then adds to them with universal apps features like notification and the ability to run under lock screen. Also the bonus feature of familiarity on my phone. Where it is basically the same App
It is an App which will give you no regrets and will help you to move away from the old clunky and insecure win32 softwares ! Finebits offers a free version of Torrex. which shows ads and cannot run in the background. That app should give you an idea about the app and help you to make an informed decision.
In short if you use windows 10 on any device do give Torrex a look!

Microsoft Land

Recently Microsoft killed of its mobile efforts publically on Twitter. This also meant the death of my favourite mobile OS Windows Phone! While the news of the death of Windows Phone bought with it sadness, time has managed to make me realise that it was necessary. The news of the death of Windows Phone was followed by the news of a new beginning. Microsoft launched a news launcher or home screen for Android and announced that it was bringing Edge to Android and IOS! The made it all clear to me, that Microsoft wanted to survive in the mobile ecosystem like a germ. It wanted to feed off the already established mobile platforms to keep its services alive. It made me ask myself, Why did Android and IOS succeed? The answer: Apple was the first one to the party. Google, however, succeeded for a completely different reason! Google won because they provided services which were popular among the masses. Think about it Google had Gmail, search and YouTube. Three services...

Atomic Boredom

Atomic Blonde stars Charlize Theron and is a movie directed by David Leich. This man helped to bring John Wick to the big screen. I went into the movie expecting Atomic Blonde to be the female version of John Wick. That was not the case. Atomic blonde is boring the story is messy and the direction is poor. The time hops between the present and the past is not at all smooth. The story begins with Charlize Theron in a debriefing room telling us the story of the snoozefest that is Atomic blonde! The movie is boring to the extent that I had paused and stopped watching the movie around the hour mark. In an hour all we see is Charlize enter east Berlin to retrieve the list. Here she meets a shady character called Percival and gets into bed with Delphine portrayed by Sophia Boutella. Believe me, that is all that happens in one hour of this movie! I got my self to finish the movie later and the pace does pick up at the end, but it is not enough! Actors like Charlize Theron, James McAvo...
