    I was going through the Lenovo website and found a computer that has Windows 8.1 with Bing listed as the installed OS. I have heard rumors about W8.1 w/Bing but last I knew nothing had been mentioned from MS about it...

    Price Opinion

    I need some opinions on pricing..... Staples has the Venue 8 Pro right now for $229, I have a $32 gift card meaning I could get it for about $210 after tax. Think that's a good deal for a brand new one?

    Current Caller ID

    I am not sure which category to put this under but hopefully this is right.... One of the apps I use most on my Moto X is Current Caller ID. If you don't know what this is it is an app that if you do not have somebody in your contacts it will take the number and match it with a business/person...

    Windows 8.1 Update 1--closing apps

    I love update 1 but my biggest complaint is that in modern apps the X in the corner does not actually close apps, they just go into standby mode and still use computer resources. You still have to drag down and wait for the flip to get them to actually close. Anybody else notice this?

    Windows on Devices

    I do and I don't understand the Windows on Devices plans. The piano at BUILD was running it but is this another one of those things from Microsoft that is behind? The big thing now is Linux and raspberry pie, that's the combination that would typically be used. So why use Windows on Devices over...

    CarrierIQ

    I posted this same thing on Android Central to get different perspectives. Tonight for the first time I heard of Carrier IQ and apparently by not having heard of it I live in 1995. Depending on who you are and what platform you're on I guess depends on what you think about it. I've read it as...

    MLB.TV App

    Does anybody else find the mlb.tv app lags extremely bad when trying to watch live baseball? In the web browser or my iOS device I am able to watch 'live' games with no problems or hiccups. With the Windows app it has to be 30 seconds behind to run smooth. Even that is better than the Android...

    Verizon Upgrade

    A lot of the reviews I have read talk very down about the Lumia Icon design. Personally I love it. It has that 'professional' look to it. I am on Verizon with a Moto X I got off contract. My contract isn't up until December and the only other line on my account isn't up for renewal until 2015...

    Microsoft Store Online Returns

    I got a Surface Pro 2 a couple of weeks ago online from the Microsoft Store. I do like Windows 8.1 and the touch screen idea but this particular device isn't for me. It is an amazing device but as a laptop that you place on your lap to use a keyboard with it isn't very good. The kickstand props...

    Custom number labels

    One of my biggest pet peeves in WP8 is the lack of the ability to create custom labels for email addresses and phone numbers for contacts. Anybody know if this is added in 8.1? Sent From My Woven Black and Yellow Moto X

    Windows 8.1 Question

    So far I am loving 8.1 but I have noticed something that is a rather big deal to me.... With Windows 8 it was always when you swiped an app down it totally closed the app, it was no longer even running. Now with 8.1 when you swipe an app down it closes it but it's sill running in the task...

    Verizon 822

    Anybody else notice Verizon no longer has the 822 listed on their website? I wonder if this would possibly mean a new one is coming...or perhaps Verizon is just dropping WP support already slowly.
