Just as suddenly as it arrived, the option to sign up for a swiftly disappeared. Two weeks ago, the company rolled out the $7.99-a-month Prime membership, which included access to Amazon’s Instant Video library, in what many tech analysts and experts said was an attempt to compete with streaming giant Netflix. Netflix and Hulu both offer plans that start in the $7.99 sweet spot. When Amazon rolled out the new pricing option, a spokesperson said the company was testing the subscription.

Jakob Nielsen, principal of the Nielsen Norman Group, studied how a dozen experienced PC users interacted with Windows 8, and the conclusion was not good. . “On a regular PC, Windows 8 is Mr. Hyde: a monster that terrorizes poor office workers and strangles their productivity.” Although the sample sizes of Nielsen's studies are small, he argues that they provide more insight than larger studies focused on metrics.

As a longtime AT&T cellular customer, I was intrigued when the company ) sounded pretty good. Getting iPhones onto a Mobile Share plan is easy. But as editorial director Jason Snell found out, . Part of that difficulty involves the way you may be enjoying cellular data on your iPad today, and the other part is the poorly trained (or perhaps strictly coached) AT&T customer service representatives.

Lenovo’s Yoga is aptly named – it’s flexible in more than one way. Not only can this Ultrabook be used as a laptop and a tablet, its screen can actually swivel around the hinge 360 degrees to maximize the tablet experience. Sure, at 0.67 inches thick and 3.4 pounds with a 13-inch screen, the Yoga isn’t the most comfortable, portable tablet on the market. But it’s a pretty cool device when you consider that, oh yeah, it’s both a laptop a tablet. Our review model, which costs $1099 as configured, has a third-generation Intel Core i5-3317U processor, 4GB of RAM, and a 128GB solid state drive. The Yoga has a 13-inch multi-touch touchscreen, a 720p webcam, and built-in Wi-Fi 802.11b/g/n, and runs Windows 8. In our new WorldBench 8 benchmark tests, the Yoga scores 60 out of 100. This means that the Yoga is 40 percent slower than our baseline testing model, which has a third-generation Intel Core i5 desktop processor, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia discrete graphics card. The Yoga’s score of 60 isn’t great for a desktop, but the Yoga isn’t a desktop – it’s an Ultrabook. Its score is actually quite good for an Ultrabook – the only other Ultrabook we’ve tested on WorldBench 8 is the (57), which has the same i5-3317U processor as the Yoga, 4GB of RAM, and a 500GB hard drive.
