Problem 1: Spotify isn't profitable. Microsoft should only acquire Spotify if Microsoft has some way to make it profitable. It's *possible* that with a distributed cloud service like Azure, Microsoft running the streaming "at cost" for Spotify could turn it profitable, but thats very, very...

Skype, on Win10 desktop and iOS/Android, with encrypted chat storage at rest and MF'ing SMS RELAY goddamit. Full smart-home-hub brought to Cortana on Xbox. Its the assistant we all already have in our living room, make it useful. Improve performance of Cortana on Xbox and skillset on all...

skyrim. i know its a bit more flexible on PC but its nice to not have to swap inputs on the TV.

I think this is a good move. Lumia owners know what they are: beta testers for whatever the next thing to come is. For the masses: Every time I visit the Microsoft store, its busy with people messing with SurfaceBooks, Surface Pros and Xbox stuff, but other than the staff very few are picking...

I'm in the process of switching to Android right now. Looking at the LG G6 (i cant do the edge screens or the price of the galaxy S8). For me, Windows far and away has the best UI/UX, app model and vision. BUT. Edge browser doesn't have adblock extensions on mobile. I can't use UC Browser or...

Lumia 950 At&t Windows 10M 1607 Build 10.0.14393.189 This limit has only occurred with my wife's text messaging thread, which understandably, is far and away the longest thread (probably 2 years of daily texts since it imported stuff from previous Lumia when I got the 950).

So yesterday I encountered a weird issue... normally, when texting, as soon as you type something the "send" button lights up with your theme color so you send the text. Sometimes theres a little lag with the light up, maybe you have to close the keyboard, but eventually it lights up. Today...

In terms of TIMING: LinkedIn lost over half of its stock value over the past few months. From an acquisition standpoint, this is a great time for purchase for MS, even with them overpaying a bit they still came in way, way below LI's market high. In terms of IRRELEVANCE: LinkedIn by itself...

Getting some anti-Captain America propaganda out of my system with an AvX theme this month...

i grouped a couple things in that section together because they are similar. what i was saying is: if you set a reminder with cortana, or have an appointment in outlook calendar, or have an alarm on your phone, it will pass the alert to your watch as long as you are within bluetooth range. i do...

I owned the Band 1 for a year, and have been through two Band 2's. MS gave me a new one when the first started powering off randomly and only turning back on when plugged in, despite good battery levels. I say buy it. It is a TOOL. You are buying it to either track your progress or motivate...

troubleshooting the bug temporarily by manually assigning my DNS address to google at 8.8.8.8. still, pretty horrible bug in WP 8.1 if the dns gets dropped for any devices connecting to it via hotspot, and it would be a lot harder to troubleshoot if the devices using the hotspot are mobile...

Update: This appears to be a DNS issue in WP 8.1. Ping www.google.com packets time out ping 74.125.224.72 (which is google) ...packets come back just fine. Any ideas?

Checked bug thread, did not see this listed as a bug. Searched the forums pretty extensively, and only found ATT and TMobile related carrier issues. This situation is occurring (in my case) using Verizon Lumia 928 and is NOT a carrier issue. What happens: Post Developer Preview Update, WP 8.1...
