It’s been more than 100 hours since the long anticipated Windows 10 Anniversary Update was released, and I have yet to cast a clear glimpse of it. Well, not really. I can play with it on my $99 NextBook9, with bare minimum specs, and on the Fast Track of the Windows Insider program. Seriously though, … Read more
I ran across this little applet a couple weeks ago. And as with most things, I approached with a bit of skepticism. Would it work reliably? Would it use 50% of my resources, like a Symantec tool? Would it cause some other issue with the otherwise stable Windows 10 OS? Well, after some testing the … Read more
The PC is not dead. Take that Steve. Now, if you want to talk about Mac’s…….the third most popular platform in America. http://www.theverge.com/2016/7/12/12158344/pc-shipments-idc-gartner-us-growth-july-2016 Ouch, that’s got to hurt Apple.
I bet there have been times where you wished there was a way to update your OneDrive folder so it would sync up “immediately”. You know, like Dropbox. With 1.2TB of available storage in my OneDrive account, I can’t tell you how frustrating it has been when I try to move a file from one … Read more
Microsoft recently announced that Windows 10 is now running on more than 270 million devices (including a few thousand Windows Mobile devices). I guess that’s something to crow about, but looking at the chart above from Netmarketshare, I have one question. “What’s taking so damn long”. Before you start jumping all over me with … Read more
It’s so close I can almost touch it. With 14 days to go and at 90% of their fixed goal, I’ve got a good feeling about this. And it doesn’t hurt that Winsupersite recently offered a positive review (and the author ordered a NexDock). That’s after WindowsPhoneCentral did the same a day earlier. Will … Read more
Yesterday afternoon, I pulled my Lumia 950 off my belt and unexpectedly noticed that my battery was below 50%. I then saw a popup message indicating that my phone needed to restart to install updates. What updates? Anyway, I placed the phone on my wireless charger, went to settings and clicked restart, at which time … Read more
…and in with the new. While I have been sporting Windows 10 Mobile on my Lumia 950 for several months, and even longer on my Lumia 635 test device as a Windows Insider, it’s nice to know that the OS is being released to everyone. Well, not quite everyone. It appears that some of … Read more
I’ve been a huge proponent of continuum and its future from well before it was even announced. Ultimately the miniaturization and the end goal to, as Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella puts it, have “mobility of experiences” means that it isn’t a ultrabook or a tablet that mobilie technology is moving towards. Star Trek had a … Read more
It looks like the NexDock project, being funded through Indiegogo, is moving along. But not fast enough for my satisfaction. I really want to see this project proceed and at this point that’s certainly not guaranteed (unless this is like an eBay auction and everyone waits till the last minute). I am keeping my eye … Read more
