 It's Wednesday, August 1st, 2012. I'm Ross Miller, and with your written consent, let's spend 90 seconds on the verge. Windows 8 is finished. Microsoft's next operating system has hit release to manufacturing status, and will be delivered to the company's hardware partners in the next few days. Windows 8 officially launches October 26th, which should give OEMs plenty of time to make their special edition Windows 8 bloatware. And Digg.com is back. The iconic aggregator was relaunched as version 1.0 last night, but only in name. Betaworks, the company behind the resurrection, completely threw out Digg's old code and decided to start anew. There are no comments, there is no Digg bar, and all front page stories are editorially curated by three humans. And Amazon Instant Video is now available for the iPad. Users can stream video content and even choose to download for offline viewing. Airplay functionality, however, is limited to audio only. There is no option to stream video to your Apple TV. Just like with Kindle for iPad, you'll still have to purchase all content outside of the app, directly through Amazon.com's website. And Google Wallet has long been plagued by two main issues. A lack of supported devices, and a lack of supported credit cards. Today the company has solved one of those issues. The new Google Wallet now lets you use any major US credit or debit card instead of charging your card directly. Purchase will instead go through Google itself. Your bank statements then will just be a series of Google Wallet charges. You'll still probably get the AMX points. And that's it for today's top stories. Tune in tomorrow where we'll test drive the first two-door sedan to be controlled entirely with your eyebrows.
