Amazing mockup of what a Metro Windows 8 could look like

Windows 8 development has been chugging along for quite a while now, and with new developer previews of the OS, things are looking a bit brighter every day, but being “good” isn’t enough. Windows 8 has gotta be the sexiest release to ever come out of Microsoft to hit the ground running, but in current developer previews, things still feel a bit Windows 7-ish. What could Windows 8 look like when it’s all said and done? We don’t know exactly, we sure hope it looks like this…

HP apparently offering 1.1 Million Dollar PC exclusive to Best Buy

Today while casually browsing my Facebook timeline, I stumbled along a post made by a friend of mine who had found a page on the Best Buy online store for an HP computer (cached). It looked like a run-of-the-mill desktop PC, but after a clear glance of the price tag, I immediately knew this was not like any other computer that I’d ever seen before. This one in particular was a pinnacle of technical innovation, a trophy of humanities achievements, and it was, ever so elegantly, tipping the scales at 1.1 Million dollars.

CES 2012: The Sleuth Camera Pack from Timbuk2 - Video

Okay Geek hangs out with Timbuk2 to check out some of the coolest camera bags coming this year, and one of the best ones with the “casual photographer” in mind. The “Sleuth Camera Pack” will arrive later in 2012 with a retail price of $139 and the photographer in mind. The idea is cool enough, but with the steep-ish price, would you fork up the bones to own a new Sleuth Pack?

Okay Geek Presents: CES 2012 Beyond the Show Floor (series)

You’ve all probably wondered why we’ve gone dark over the past week without the smattering of daily posts and videos, and we have tons of excuses, but it’s mostly due to the organization of our new series we’re calling “CES 2012: Beyond the Show Floor”. We’re slipping by the rows of booths, circus performers and hordes of people to go directly to the meat and potatoes of CES — the products being presented and the people who make them.

It is now 2012 all over the world!

Today a major milestone has been reached: the beginning of a new chapter and a fresh horizon. Twenty twelve, here we come! Clearing out the old to make room for the new. Marking a point in time and neatly filing away our triumphs, failures and memories for a rainy day so we can shed the burden of the past and hit the ground running into the new year with big ideas!

We want to thank all of our readers for sticking with us from the beginning, and all of our new friends we’ve met this year for being so awesome. We want to make sure 2012 is Okay Geek’s best year yet with more articles, the (soon to be) re-launched podcast and a slew of other fun things like E3 and more. Thanks for reading and Happy New Year!

The Hobbit behind the scenes part 5 has been released - Video

View all five parts here — So if you haven’t heard, The Hobbit: Part I (prequel to Lord of the Rings) is coming Dcember 2012, and while making the movie, Director Peter Jackson has decided to keep everyone updated using videoblogs that he uploads to Youtube every odd month or so. We can’t wait for part six, and of course the final release of this epic journey’s inception.

The Twitter app from old to new - Design in Review

A few days ago, Twitter launched their new design for their website as well as the re-designed Tweetdeck web app and the overall consensus was mostly positive, which is shocking considering people loath any change on the internet. From what we’ve seen, the brand-wide re-design of Twitter has been a success so far, and only a few small nicks and scratches are left to be filled here and there. Today though, we’re focusing on Twitter’s new iOS app because we think it’s the most significant change and just another example of Twitter expertly blurring the lines between desktop, web & mobile.
