By: Hillel Fuld

If you have been paying attention, you have probably noticed that I have been using this blog to write summaries of all the posts I write on other sites. I will also continue to conduct interviews on this site and I have a few seriously awesome ones lined up. Think Foursquare, the Wall Street Journal, and Mashable…

Anyway, the summary posts are generally made up of articles I write on the inneractive blog and the Appboy blog. Feel free to check them out, but you can always just read these posts to stay updated. I hope you like the Above the Fuld posts…

Microsoft

 A First Sneak Peak at Windows 8: It is no coincidence that Microsoft is first on this list and Apple is second. For the first time in a long time, Microsoft actually has people excited with a new operating system. Watch the video to understand why.

Windows 8 Tablet vs iPad with iOS5: OK so Windows 8 is nice but will it really be able to compete with the undisputed king of tablets? While it is not on the market yet, even as a concept, this video seems to imply that Windows 8 can most definitely compete with the iPad.

Apple 

What Conan has to say about the lost iPhone 5: As you probably know, Apple has lost yet another iPhone prototype in a bar. Conan addresses this story in a way only Conan can. A must watch!

Publishers and Users Can Now Use Flash on iOS: Far from an ideal solution, Adobe realized it needs Apple much more than Apple needs it. And so Flash Media Server 4.5 with iOS support was born. But it’s going to cost you…

When Will We Finally Meet the iPhone 5?: Well there are rumors and there are rumors. This BGR report seems to be pretty legit and give us a good indication of when we will finally see the highly anticipated and much talked about iPhone 5.

Can your iPhone Really Parallel Park for You? OK, GPS, Augmented Reality, picture editing, web surfing, these are just of the things a modern smartphone can do. But parallel parking? Really?

Rovio

Some Astounding Angry Birds Stats: 350 million apps sold, bla bla bla. The real question is how many angry Birds toys and T shirts has Rovio sold. The answer will shock you.

Flipboard 

If you have an iPad and have not downloaded Flipboard, you have not experienced the iPad: Flipboard is by far my favorite iPad app. Watch the founder and CEO Mike McCue talk about the app, its future and monetization. You might learn a thing or two.

Enjoy the video of Windows 8 vs the iPad:
