A Start Menu For Windows 8 & Temple Run Sequel

A Start Menu For Windows 8: If you’ve purchased a new computer in the last three months you’ll know what I mean when I say Windows 8 offers a very different operating system than any previous Windows operating systems. And if you’ve purchased a Windows 8 PC and miss the old standby – the Start Menu – than you’ll be happy to know there is a workaround to install a Start Menu on a Windows 8 PC! According to the tech site arstechnica the best app you can currently obtain to create a Windows 7 like Start Menu is the Windows StartlsBack app which is available through the Windows App Store. And the article, titled Help! I’ve got Windows 8 and I miss my Start menu!, may be accessed via the following link:

Temple Run Sequel: A TempleRun sequel, titled Temple Run 2, has just been released. And for those who aren’t familiar with it TempleRun is a very popular game for Apple and Android phones and tablets. The game features an Indiana Jones like figure that the game players make run, rump and slide along a stone path trying to outrun the monkeys that are chasing him and running over gold coins along the way. Temple Run 2 offers a bit more in-depth adventure having the main character swing on rope-like vines and strea a mine cart in addition to running to keep away from the monkeys.

Here’s a link to a USA Today article, titled Temple  run sequel hits the app store, that offers more information on the subject:
