    The Microsoft and Activision Blizzard deal is being scrutinized for the wrong reasons

    Generally agreed. And especially with "Profit is not a bad thing." Sometimes people can think more completely when I say "Try running a company without a profit." Or "Try working at a company without a profit." Or "Try being a supplier to a company without a profit." Or "Try being the...

    Google Hangouts vs. Zoom. What data do they collect and sell?

    I think Windows Central could do a service to the community by giving your view on the data collect and or data selling practices of Google Hangouts and Zoom. That review Devine did on Google Hangouts vs Zoom didn't say a word. As I understand it, in their Ts&Cs, Zoom says they collect and...

    Google Hangouts vs. Zoom: Which video-call service is better for you?

    Hey Dan, I think you could do a service to the community by giving you view on the data collect and or data selling practices of Google Hangouts and Zoom. As I understand it, in their Ts&Cs Zoom says they collect and share data with third parties. And Google, well Google is a advertising...

    Finebits launches free, ad-supported version of Sonca media player

    Does anyone know the full nature of this apps access to OneDrive? Is it full and unfettered? I sure don't want to do that! I'm sure they are a fine company, but we must be careful these days.

    Charge Surface Go using USB

    I got this, along with a good Anker USB-C cable. Works fine. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0721DV7YX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_ZbvbCbBWR4MR3?tag=hawk-future-20&ascsubtag=UUwpUvbUpU3767187

    How are you enjoying your "Go"

    I like my Go. The size is wonderful. I replaced my Surface Pro 3. The Go fits in my vest pocket. OK, it's a special vest designed for such things, but the Pro 3 didn't fit. So very convenient. I'll use the Go far more when I'm out and about. I usually left the Pro 3 at home. Keyboard is fine...

    It's now "2018" with music gone from the MSFT Store how are buying your music?

    First, I know Groove streaming is gone, but Groove as a player certainly is not "dead and buried," that's just bad reporting. And I miss Groove. But we march forward, so 1) Deezer: Presently, out of the blue, I use Deezer most of the time, just to stream. It's premium service is free from...

    Is it worth going for another Windows Phone or is it dead?

    Re: Is it worth going for another Windows Phone or its dead? Nah, won't buy a Windows Phone, not now anyway. I'll wait to see what the "Surface Phone" device will be. In the meantime, my 1520 and 640XL work just fine.
