So I pre-ordered a Surface and the delivery was always ‘on or before October 26’. In the back of my mind I thought MS would give the first buyers a little something…like delivering it on Thursday, a day early. Well that doesn’t seem likely as my damn Surface is in Japan (finally left China). OK … Read more
SmartGlass will be released October 26 and Microsoft is talking about it and showing it off in more detail. It’s awesome and really adds a ton of functionality to an Xbox. You can move movies and music and even web browsing sessions between your devices. The more they talk about its functionality the more you … Read more
Excuse me for a minute but I’m sick of idiots. It’s easier to write a hit piece and say Microsoft will fail or the iPad sucks than it is to educate yourself about a product and think about the larger picture. I read this article from ZDNet’s David Gewitz: 5 big things that baffle me … Read more
We saw Best Buy leak prices this weekend and we’re expecting AT&T to make pre-orders available for the Lumia 920 shortly. If you had done a search for the Lumia 920 earlier today you would have had a few false hits (where the search results in other products). AT&T’s site now provides direct hits for … Read more
Seems like they’re en route already. The Surface was supposed to be delivered ‘by October 26’ and to ensure that, shipments appear to be under way. For what it’s worth I pre-ordered within minutes of the site going live (before noon) and I haven’t received my email yet and the website still says ‘in process’. … Read more
The other day ZDNet was wetting itself over a huge disruption to the market that they asserted was a game changer. As we now know, they were talking about the Samsung Chromebook. Yes, it’s a $250 notebook that looks like a MacBook Air. And if it were running an operating system then it would have … Read more
AT&T has put together a beautiful Windows phone app that looks really useful and timely. And yes, it’s free and appears to be available to all regardless of carrier. It’s called VoterHub and take a look at the details: Since America was founded it has been said that an educated populace is necessary to maintain … Read more
We all just click ‘yes’ on privacy statements (even after that South Park episode) so it’s easy for changes to go unnoticed. According to The NY Times, Microsoft has now changed their privacy policy to permit the use of information across their products. So information that comes from Messenger can be used to improve Skype … Read more
I love the weekend papers and half the reason is the ads. The Best Buy ad for Sunday (which oddly comes in Saturday’s paper) has this on the cover: How am I certain it’s AT&T? look at the orange tiles – those are the AT&T preinstalled apps. So starting tomorrow you can preorder an HTC … Read more
They made the Surface durable (VaporMG FTW) and if using it as a skateboard wasn’t enough they gave it a drop test. Here it is from 30” onto a hardwood floor: Now let’s move on to concrete, shall we?
What do you do when senior tech writers at ZDNet throw down language like this (which was late last night): Tomorrow is going to be a very disruptive day in the history of personal computing devices. And that’s all I’m gonna say. It’s gonna hit the world like a baseball bat in the face. Tomorrow … Read more
You heard me right…and if you were a Microsoft President you could do this too. That’s the strength of the magnesium alloy (VaporMg) casing. Awesome…it’s really going to suck to watch this blend. Real question is where the wheels accessory is in the store.
