Just leaked from Microsoft is a screenshot of the Windows App Store and it looks a lot like the Mac App Store. Including layout, icons and just the overall feel.

So what do you think? Does the Windows App Store look like the Mac App Store? Let us know in the comments.
And we are back with our first episode for our new season of TECHGEEK Tips. We focus on how to protect your precious precious information on Facebook and how you can stop it from being stolen from people you don’t want to see it.

At exactly 5PM on the 25th of March 2011, the iPad 2 was officially launched in Sydney, Australia and as well all around Australia. Hundreds have lined up to buy the brand new iDevice as an upgrade to their original iPad or as a whole new device. The first person in the line, Alex Lee (Photo here), has lined up for 2 days (by the time it’s released) to grab an iPad 2 for his sister, as he bought one at the Boston US store.
Check out our overview here which will be updating with more information shortly. That’s right, TECHGEEK will be live, on location at the iPad 2 Launch tomorrow night at 5PM AEDST. We will be in the midst of the launch and commotion from around 4:30PM AEDST. We will have a live blog running on CoverItLive (below) and as well, we will be carrying a camera which will be automatically uploading photo’s to my Flickr account (below or link) as they are taken. We will also be tweeting with the hashtag “#tgipad2″. So join in the fun tomorrow at about 4:30PM AEDST with the Live Blog and Flickr stream photo’s from the iPad 2 Launch at the Sydney CBD Apple Store.

It was only a matter of time until this happened. The brand new iPad 2 has been jailbroken and Cydia is confirmed to be working. @comex is working on a public exploit, however, according to his comments on twitter, the jailbreak required a whole new exploit as the previous one has been fixed by Apple.
The 27″ iMac is a great addition to the Apple range of iMacs. Even though introduced in October of 2009, it hasn’t been a hugely advertised product. The original version starting off with a simple Core 2 Duo chip, you can now pickup a Quad Core monster powered by an Intel i5 chip with 4GB of DDR3 ram.

Now, the WD TV Live Hub includes a 1TB hard drive to store your movies, pictures and movies on, so you can move it from room to room or even to your mates house and you don’t need to rely on external media or a network connection.
