I really wanted a 950XL for the bigger screen, better battery life and better processor. Plus, they have liquid cooling! Liquid! Cooling!! Alas the unlocked price was too much for me to shell out :'(

I'm not using them at all, but that may just be because I have multiple monitors and generally have enough real-estate as it is. I like the concept of separation that they provide, but I think there's too much work involved in setting them up as they are now. I'd probably use them regularly if...

You're definitely not wrong about Paul! I know I heard this from other sources in the past... Just can't recall as it wasn't all that recent. I want to say the guys that used to do the Lifehacker podcast said something to that effect as well. I know I got steered off the idea of buying a 13"...

Opinions of the source aside, I don't see how a Macbook Pro with an i7, 16GB of RAM and an SSD could run Windows poorly. My point was that many sources I've seen state that drivers are not quite as optimized for Windows as they are for Mac OS. As a result, battery life is less on Windows than on...

Here's something from Paul Thurrott, who tests this kind of stuff quite frequently: "...if you use Boot Camp, Apple ensures that Windows runs less efficiently than does OS X, and it does not provide optimized drivers for hardware..." Full article...

I have the same exact issue, though I'm fairly sure I didn't have the problem with Windows 8. I haven't had time to mess around with it, but the only "fixes" I found online required registry edits and, while that isn't hard, there's gotta be a better way... Especially with the heavy push for...

Based on what I've read (I have used, but never owned an Apple machine) this is absolutely not the case at all. Virtualization of Windows on a Mac isn't too bad, but the Windows drivers that Apple provides make running Windows on an Apple device a very subpar experience as far as battery life...

NOT 15% at all... So you pull an obviously inflated number out of your ****, put it in your subject to get attention, and then you "don't feel the need" to admit that this is obviously something you made up. Microsoft has publicly stated that Media Center users are a tiny minority of the user...

Huh?? For my part I would say that if you need someone to convince you to use Windows phone (or anything, really) then you're not going to like it. Windows 10 Mobile has definitely changed from Windows Phone 8.1, but it still feels very much like it. I never used Windows Phone 7.x, but I...

If Windows 10 Mobile disappeared, or became an incredibly unappealing option somehow (no new hardware?), then I'd be put into a tight spot. I like the iPhone hardware, but can't stand iOS. I actually like Android, but don't want to use Google services. So in that circumstance I would probably...

Microsoft can't go making official statements every time the press goes off the reservation with their "reports" based on speculation of speculated speculations. It does suck that we haven't had a flagship in a while, but the truth is no one was buying Windows phone anyway (ok, not literally)...

I do understand the context. I'm sorry but the article simply does not say, nor does it make it "obvious" that Microsoft is looking to kill off Windows phone. If you disagree, that's fine. I simply don't feel like it's appropriate for you to be stating your interpretation of an article as if...

I read the article, but thanks for the quote... Now, please tell me where in there he says that he thinks Windows phone is being killed off? I was just saying that "tough choices" doesn't necessarily mean "kill off a whole product line". Indeed I think that would be a bit of a leap.

I had the same problem with my Icon. It took about 7 or 8 tries (seriously) to get 10149 to install. I'd tried just about everything when I decided to poke my head in the forums here and saw that several people having similar issues resolved the problem by keeping the phone cool during the...

I don't think that's what he meant in his article. At worst, I think he meant that Nadella is looking to make "touch choices" when it comes to Windows phone. That doesn't necessarily mean it's getting shut down. My thinking is that Windows 10 Mobile is a last hoorah. They've clearly put forth a...

All I have to say to this is that Microsoft has put forth an incredible amount of effort in making sure people understand just how dangerous it is to install Insider builds on your phone. I mean, all you have to do is look at how difficult it is to get the damn thing on your phone to begin...

Hmm... I get why they're doing this, but it's a bit troubling. I figured these bridges were going to be simply part of their IDE and compiler, taking code for other platforms and adapting it to run on Windows. This makes it sound more like they're emulating other OSes within Windows... that...

Happy to report that the Lumia Software Recovery tool saved me on this one. Had to do a soft-reset with the app running for it to recognize the phone for some reason, but I'm back to stock 8.1 now. Gonna let the phone charge before giving 10149 another whirl.

I had the same exact problem (from the pictures you took, my wrist looked exactly the same) with a medium band. I couldn't wear it more than two days or so without a rash appearing. I didn't believe the issue was related to an allergy since, aside from the fact that I don't have any allergies to...

Thanks for the input! I did see a few threads about the CR-200 charger from Nokia but didn't see a whole lot of stuff specific to the 928. It seems the new Nokia charger is dubbed CR-201 and was slightly modified so as to not press the side buttons on the 1520. I wonder if that means it wouldn't...
