    [TUTORIAL] Change Windows 10 login wallpaper

    Thank you! I can't believe Microsoft didn't include this functionality to begin with.

    Is anyone else's C drive filling up very quickly?

    Since installing the TP on my main machine, I've been having constant storage issues. Seeing as I only have a couple gigs of free space on my boot drive to begin with, something seems to be filling it up constantly. I keep deleting programs and files I don't need, but the space is taken up again...

    Music control

    Unbelievable oversight from Microsoft here. How did they manage to drop the ball on simply media controls? For an otherwise incredibly well realized device, they're gonna make you talk to your wrist to simply change the track or volume? And only for Windows Phone users? Hopefully that's...

    Will the Band work with the Icon?

    Pretty sure Windows Phone 8.1 Developer Preview broke Bluetooth LE. For Cortana we need WP 8.1. In order to fix it we need Cyan.

    As far as I'm aware this only applies to the ICON.

    Pictures / Video taken with your Lumia Icon

    I thought I'd test out the low light performance first - the conditions were awful, with all settings kept at auto and distant targets in very poor light. I can't compare this camera's performance to other Lumia's, but it's certainly more capable than any of the HTC cameras I've owned...

    First impressions and photos

    I agree that the touch vibrations feel a little bit different. I think it's the slight delay coupled with the decreased sensitivity of the buttons themselves compared to what I'm used to. I'm alright with this, as it means there is a smaller area that triggers them and will hopefully lead to...

    First impressions and photos

    I went to the Verizon store bright and early this morning to grab my Icon - I arrived at the Center City Philadelphia store at 8:30, a half hour after opening, and the sales representative told me there had already been one other person that morning who bought one. For me, coming from an HTC...

    Windows 9 Concept and its amazing !!

    Looks very good in some areas. I think it needs the ability to scale and stack windows vertically, though, not just one after the other in a long line.

    More CNET bias - Surface Pro 2 "Comparing the Surface Pro to the iPad can get pretty ugly"

    Re: More CNET bias - Surface Pro 2 "Comparing the Surface Pro to the iPad can get pretty ugly" Well, I actually agree with points number 4, 5, and 6...

    From iPad 4 to HP Envy x2

    How did you sell it, out of curiosity? I'm looking to sell my VivoTab Smart before Bay Trail tablets come out and I'm not sure what is my best bet.

    Here's mine. I rotate, but usually an Autumn theme of some sort.

    Considering ether the ASUS VivoTab Smart ME400C or Acer Iconia W3-810

    Asus announced the pricing and cpu specs for the T100 themselves at the Intel event. I don't see them changing that. As for benchmarks, there's no reason to expect Intel to suddenly cut performance for Bay Trail SOCs after already releasing them to the press for testing. Many of the models on...

    Well... Here are your benchmarks - AnandTech | The Bay Trail Preview: Intel Atom Z3770 Tested And here's your pricing - http://winsupersite.com/windows-8/fall-2013-windows-tablet-preview (Including a $249 Bay Trail tablet, among other promising price points.) There isn't much speculation...
