Watch A&E TV shows for free with this Windows 8.1 app

Add as a preferred source on Google

A&E is one of the most popular networks on TV these days, calling itself home to hits like Duck Dynasty and Storage Wars. If you’re a A&E addict and you’re running a Windows 8 PC, then you have to get your hands on the network’s official app, which provides you with access to an absolute boatload of the network’s content for free. That’s right: nothing, nada, zilch.

According to the app’s official description, you can watch the latest season of Shipping Wars and hours of Duck Dynasty, Storage Wars, and The First 48. However, you can only stream content if you’re located in the United States. On top of that, it doesn’t seem like content gets added daily, as is the case with the official app for Lifetime TV. While the official description for Lifetime’s app explicitly states that new content is added daily, the one for the A&E app says that new content is added “all the time.” So, keep that in mind.

Like the Lifetime TV app, the A&E app lets you create a custom watch list. Through this app, you can watch “exclusive clips,” along with deleted scenes from A&E shows that have (supposedly) never been aired on TV. Juicy!

With the app, you can log into it via your official cable TV subscription, if you have one. IF you choose to do so, you can watch A&E broadcasts live, and you’ll gain access to even more content. However, you’re not required to do so. This is just a bonus in case you’re already a paying customer.

Either way, if you’re an A&E addict, you should get in on this an download the network’s official app ASAP.

A mouse with a touchscreen just hit Kickstarter, and its feature list borders on insanity
The Super Mouse packs a full keyboard, motion controls, and more shortcuts than anyone could reasonably ask for.
Arctic Fox Super Mouse with touchscreen

The absolutely absurd idea of putting a touchscreen display on a mouse isn't exactly new. Turtle Beach already did it with its Command Series MC7, which features a 2.25-inch control screen. But apparently, even that wasn't ridiculous enough for Arctic Fox Technologies. Its new Super Mouse looks like someone took the chunky old Atari ST mouse, slapped a touchscreen and scroll wheel on it, and called it an upgrade.

The result is a rather unusual-looking mouse that is now on Kickstarter, starting at $199. And as ridiculous as it looks, some of its features are genuinely intriguing.

Apple is less than a day away from launching its highly anticipated OLED MacBook Pro with a touch-sensitive screen. But it appears that the upgrade is going to cost a pretty penny. According to a report by Bloomberg, Apple is reportedly eyeing a starting price of $2,899 for the 14-inch MacBook Pro, while the 16-inch version could start at $3,399 in the US.

"At $2,899, the 14-inch model would mark the highest starting price for a new MacBook Pro model, surpassing the $2,799 Apple charged for a 17-inch version introduced in 2006," says the report. The report claims that Apple is targeting a minimum price hike of $400 for its upcoming redesigned 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models.
