Microsoft SkyDrive has recently been getting quite a lot of attention with the release of the SkyDrive app for Windows Phone as well as iOS, and Windows and Mac (Laptop/Desktop), they’ve also introduced paid storage tiers, where you can pay an annual fee for additional storage. It looks like this hasn’t gone unnoticed either. Anyone logging into Google Docs will notice a notification bar along the top of the screen informing users that ‘Google Docs will soon be upgraded to Google Drive’.
While many may be frustrated by this obvious copy of the name from Microsoft’s SkyDrive, it’s actually a very good sign, it means SkyDrive is gaining enough traction for Google to consider it strong enough competition to change their name to better compete against SkyDrive, though I’m sure Google’s Public Relations would have you believe its been in the words for some time.

Checkout Our SponsorsThis article is all about me, no it’s not because I’m obsessed with myself, it’s because as a first article I’d been told that I’d probably be best to introduce myself. The hardest part was thinking of a title, I decided on having my Nickname followed by my most recognisable personal attribute, the result was the title above.
I’m 20 years old and am currently completing my bachelor’s degree in IT majoring in Business Information Systems Management. My first job was actually as an assistant to a Network Administrator, thus began my passion for IT (which incidentally was when I first discovered that my potential was Microsoft’s passion). I started university at 18 after finishing High School (that’s normal in Australia for those reading this in the US). In my first year of university I managed to score a position as a contractor at News Limited where I worked over the holidays.
Moving on I’m also a Microsoft Fan boy, I’m the person who was using Bing when everyone thought it stood for Because It’s Not Google (it doesn’t in case you were wondering). Unlike other Fan boy’s… Apple (cough) I don’t have a hissy fit at the thought that everything Microsoft does isn’t perfect, in fact I really enjoy discussing competing products with people to see other perspectives. So that’s a little about me, if I typed this right I’ll seem like a pretty nice guy, otherwise my bad I’ll try harder I promise.

Msicc has released a new Windows Phone app, this app was developed to help children learn how to tie their shoe laces. The reason why he developed this app was a study ( liked to from the app , should you want to read it ) , which complains about the fact that 19% of the 2-5 year old know how to use smartphone apps, but only 9% know how to tie their shoes so he decided to do something about it :)
When you launch the app you are taken to the main menu here you have the option to pick a session for little kids or for older kids. When you pick one of those you are presented with an animation on how to tie the shoelace. You can pause the frames or go in to a details step by step break down of the process. The other option in here is a rhyme tab that has various rhymes that will help kids learn how to tie a shoelace. From settings you can pick one of the three available themes and ask the app to stay active and prevent going in to the lock screen.

Nokia’s Reading for Windows Phone app is an ebook reader app / store for Nokia’s Lumia devices which allow in-app purchasing of ebooks. With similar apps from Audible very close to being released other OEM users need not worry too badly about this offering. You might also want to check out Spreadsong’s ebook app that offers books from the public domain. France, Germany, Italy, Russia, Spain, and the UK will receive the app first, with other countries speculated to get access later this year.
