I seem to have no excuse now (other than brushing up on my 11-year never used programming degree) – the $19 price tag that was a “special” for the last month … Read more
Last time 1saleaday had the Lumia 900 it was $220. Now it’s down to just $170. That’s for an unlocked phone and comes in blue (cyan) or white. Granted it will never get updated to Windows Phone 8, but it’s still quite a capable phone with a great camera.

Microsoft and Nokia have been proud about getting the top iPhone and Android apps over to the platform. I am and continue to use Windows Phone and I love it but my issue isn’t with the top apps. In fact, I don’t care at all about Instagram. What I do care about is when I … Read more
Upon my early morning rise, part of my ritual is to upload an image to Instagram, think of it as my cup of coffee. Boy oh boy was I not expecting to see my image deleted before my very eyes as if nothing happened. Well then, I am not going crazy, according to The Verge … Read more
