    Anyone Else Sad to See Groove Music Pass Go?

    I'm honestly heartbroken by this - not for the Music Pass, but purchasing music in general (I just prefer that method for my purchases). I was so happy to get away from iTunes, but now it looks like I have to go back to them. Not to mention, it doesn't exude much confidence In my other digital...

    What do you think of Cuphead so far?

    I'm loving this game! Dying repeatedly isn't even that bad since its just SO. DAMN. BEAUTIFUL! worth every delay

    Every single laptop/tablet sold should come with Windows 10 S as default. Agree?

    Tablets: yes - Laptops: no I feel like if they were to pull that with a laptop, we would have a similar debacle as with Windows RT with less tech-abled people crying bloody murder. PR would suddenly go back to square one (just my opinion) But I do agree that tablets should automatically be...

    Battery banks don't work?

    Not that I use them all that often, but I tried using my sister's battery bank for my Lumia 950xl and it didn't even recognize my phone. It happened to me once before with my brother's battery bank as well. Is the 950xl simply unable to get an extra charge from accessories like this?

    What is the expected life time of a Surface Pro 4?

    I find generally for the Surface tablet lineup you are looking at a decent lifespan (4 years with newer releases), but you will most definitely have to replace the keyboard as it ages quickly (at least from my experience). This is assuming you can carry a slab of metal and glass wherever you go...

    Next big thing in phones?

    I could see them doing something like that - wouldn't be the first time either (Surface Studio)

    What if there really are no more new Windows Mobile devices?

    I was greatly disappointed. Would be stuck between choose an Android vs iOS since neither really pique my interest.

    Surface International, anyone?

    Just curious, where around the world are you using your Surface? I'm from Winnipeg, Canada and I've taken it with me everywhere. My Surface RT came with me to Vancouver and my Surface Book came with me to Hanoi, Vietnam.

    Can this laptop do video editing?

    I don't think the Surface Laptop is really built with that in mind - I would more readily compare it to the MacBook Air with Surface Book being the one to go to for video editing (as far as Surface-branded products go)

    text message notification

    Detailed notifications AND making sure your default app is the one that is getting those detailed notifications. When I went to Vietnam for a couple of weeks, I turned off my service which sent everything text related to my skype app instead of the default Messages app. When I came back, I...

    Instagram is crashing

    On my Lumia 950xl I've noticed my Instagram act weirdly based on networks they are on - not sure if that would have to do with it, but other than that I can't think of a reason for it to crash...

    Share your Windows 10 Start / Wallpaper

    I usually opt to sick with my drawings and I haven't switched from this since completing it in January. My theme colour for the start menu is green to go with it

    Share your Windows Phone History!

    I actually never knew about Windows Phone until the Surface RT was announced. I saw that Microsoft, like Apple, offered their services all platforms (phone, TV, PC, etc). Now, at this time I had an iPod Touch so I needed to choose between jumping ship from Apple or staying. Since wanted a...
