On a big site like facebook with tons of traffic and users I don't think it's about click thru's on ads to generate money. I'm no expert on internet advertising, but I believe the model is more like TV commercials for large websites, where just displaying the ad (commercial) generates money for...

Perfect example. Facebook uses advanced tracking techniques to create a profile on all its users and to gather as much personal information that they can about it's users. This is done for one purpose only, to make tons of money. I hope people don't believe Zukerberg became a billionaire by...

MS has actually been aware of this issue for a couple of weeks now. Why it's taking so long to fix, your guess is as good as mine. I figured it would take an unacceptable long time for them to fix, so that's why I just created a new MS account. Took me a few days to everything back up and...

I'm a big tech nut and I'm in my 40's, so I remember, lived the pre-internet days. I probably could go back to those days, but honestly I wouldn't want to. I do online shopping, online banking/bill pay, forums, lots of research and knowledge gathering online, some games, things like that. Yes...

That's a good question. Google, Apple, Microsoft, facebok, twitter, etc...... all they will really do is file that info in a database and use it to market ads and services to you. The real question you need to ask, is what can someone who doesn't have good intensions do with all that...

Well lets be honest, Google, Apple, Microsoft all collect information, that they all say isn't used to personally identify an individual, but that's subject to interpretation. They all certainly get an idea of who you are, what you like, how you use the internet, and use that info to target ads...

I had the same thing. New conversations would start even though there was an existing conversation. I linked the problem to the missing contacts/people. Conversations thinks the text. etc is from a new person since people is no longer syncing as well as email & calendar. When I talked to...

Ok. I had the error on every device I tried with.... phone, surface tablet, (2) windows 7 computers, windows 10 computer. I have a couple other suggestions. 1) Create another alias in your MS account, set it as primary, then try your original alias email and calendar again with the second alias...

Same happened to me. I tried everything to fix it. Talked with Microsoft level 2 as well. Nothing fixed it. One thing to try, if you have a non-Microsoft email address as your primary user in your MS account, switch the primary user to an outlook.com email address. That may get you back into...

I had the same problem and more when MS upgraded my outlook.com account. Blew the whole Microsoft account up. I had to create a brand new MS account and start all over. Luckily I have everything backed up on my PC, just had to set everything up again. I tried everything to fix, even talked to MS...

I use transparent tiles exclusively. If the app doesn't have a transparent tile it doesn't go on my start screen. BTW - I use tile picture mode for my start screen.

Dear new Google / Android user, We thank you for allowing us to data mine, steal, and sell all your personal information and also for giving us a window into every personal aspect of your life. We look forward to exploiting you and making a fist full of money while doing it. We did enjoy what...

Update: MS support was no help. I ended up creating a new Microsoft account. Took me all weekend to get everything set back up and to update my new email address on everything I use online, but it's all working fine now.

Microsoft level 2 was no help. The tech just wanted to remote into my computer, install 3rd party software called Fiddler, and get some logs to send to the level 3 techs. I'm a desktop engineer and I deal with level 3 issues all day long. I understand the importance of gathering logs, but I was...

Same problem I have, same error, same issues, same attention required message, lost contacts, no syncing, but....... I'm not on the insider program. Mine happened after MS upgraded my outlook.com account. Microsoft level 2 support is supposed to call me tomorrow, but I'm just going to create a...

Do you have a outlook.com alias and if so is it set to your primary alias? Was your outlook.com account upgraded yet? I had no issues until MS upgraded mine. There's a new webmail interface, different layout, new features. I think online calendar and people are a bit different too. I read in the...

Thanks, that what I'm going to try to do. I'm waiting in line for a live agent right now.

Thanks for the info. I don't mind doing a hard reset for the phone, but I can't get into outlook.com, calendar, or people on my computer either. Or any computer for that matter, even tried on a windows 7 computer. I get the same "something went wrong" error message when I try to sign into...

Background: My Microsoft account was originally setup using a non-microsoft domain email address and then I added an outlook.com alias. The non-microsoft domain email address was always set to primary and it worked fine. Email and calendar used the alias, everything else used the primary...

Just a small correction in your post........ Verizon did want the original iPhone, they didn't ignore it. Apple refused to do business with them because Verizons cdma network was "too dated and limited in scope for Apple's interests". (quote from Jobs). Apple signed a 3 year exclusive deal with...
