Microsoft is all set to release its upcoming Windows mobile OS version Windows 8.1 for public in October as reported by ZDnet. The release to manufacturing (RTM) build of Windows 8.1 will be given to OEMs and Microsoft’s partners by end of this month, so that they can complete the testing to see if their drivers are compatible by the time Microsoft releases this update to public.

The most important thing about being a geek is being able to do that what others normally can’t. Of course, you have to severely obsess over a certain field/class-of-activities to qualify as a “geek”.

When it comes to gaming, I’ve never ever done it just for fun or “for the sheer hell(read ‘sake’) of it”. It has always been about making a mark in the gaming community.

There are people all over the world with a set quota on how much to spend on games per month, and then there’s us – nothing wrong with it, […]
