    Is Andromeda likely cancelled as the rumours say?

    Depends on what the reason of delay is. If it's about OS not being ready as Windows Central reports than yes it may get released. If it's about app gap, then things get a little tricky. Is Microsoft really trying to court app developers again after rebooting their previous mobile platform three...

    Why Did Microsoft Seem to Forfeit the Mobile Phone War?

    They have not. Windows 10 on phones has (potentially) eaten the behemoth that full windows 10 was with win32 emulation and (potentially) brought it to phones with Windows 10 on ARM.

    Who is in charge of this junk? Seriously!

    ^ Also, this. Best advice ever.

    Who is in charge of this junk? Seriously!

    As shameful as this is, but when you look at what's been going on at Microsoft with regards to devices group and reorg, this wasn't unexpected. With so many layoffs in devices division, the headquarters of devices group in Helsinki Finland at least till August 2015, while the OS development team...

    My Opinion: The Death of Windows Phone: As a Windows Fan I Don't Need One

    People who think Microsoft made a mistake by offering their services on competitor platforms need to realize something. Windows licensing model isn't feasible in today's world. Look at iOS. Look at android. Free OS upgrades. Your average consumer just don't want to pay for a platform on their...

    My Opinion: The Death of Windows Phone: As a Windows Fan I Don't Need One

    I'd have believed your pretence until I read this. Sorry to disappoint you mate but Surface Phone is not gonna be for you. Microsoft already has deals in place with big name android OEMs like Samsung and even Cyanogen to push Microsoft services out of the box. Microsoft don't need no Surface...

    Why the size of photos taken by Lumia 950 is much smaller than 16 MB?

    16 Mega Pixels(MP) is not the same as Mega Bytes(MB). Jpeg compression gives 4-5MB for a 16 Mega Pixel(MP) image on avg. Also, it is about aspect ratio. 20MP is for 4:3 aspect ratio. If you take photo in 16:9, it will crop the sensor to 16MP which is what you are getting (roughly).

    i like windows 10 mobile but here are some of the things i don't like in windows 10 mobile UI

    Haha! Never understood the hate against empty spaces. True empty spaces look ugly, but only when there is too much space between grid of icons, like in iPad Pro. In lists, they are perfectly fine though. In fact, the touch screen area for an item in a list extend to empty space so you just don't...

    Surface outsells iPad online in Oct 2015 - how much longer can devs ignore Win10?

    Developers will continue to ignore windows until they let go of this stupid notion that tablets aren't used much for apps. Which is pretty stupid since most apps are essentially the same services that we traditionally access through web browsers and native apps are a more fluid and polished...

    Nadella should he stay or should he go?

    Tbh, Nadella has done so much better in two years with Windows 10 that we never really saw in years of development of Windows 8 in Ballmer's era. True, for a while it looked as if Microsoft has bailed on windows phone completely but the recent most build has again given me hope. It is working...

    Is anyone else happy with build 10586.11 ?

    I too am very happy with this build. That too on my Lumia 525 which is a budget phone and that says something. Previous builds had me getting depressed but this build has me so pumped. One of the reasons I'm acting very optimistic.

    First bad review of the 950

    Didn't read the written verge review. Only watched YouTube video of its review. Sounded so desperate and seemed like a clickbait attempt to troll. Lest anyone fall in love with it. He downplayed everything. From hardware specs to camera to future of uwp continuum. Have never seen a more...

    AMA with Dan Rubino: Everything Lumia 950

    Also, Dan? Arts Technica reported some 3D performance degradation on Gfx bench marks. Can you try resource intensive games like Asphalt 8 and Mortal Combat to see how it substantiates into real world performance?

    Hi Dan! Can we connect external HDD through USB-OTG?

    First bad review of the 950

    Okay, just read the actual review. Here are my two cents. Low 3D and Edge benchmarks. Well I'm glad someone high lighted it. Microsoft doesn't making any grounds with 3D APIs in W10m was one of my major beefs with W10m development. But then again, like he said, it's not like game developers are...
