    College Bound Girl - Best Laptop to last 4 years?

    A friend of mine at work asked me what would be the best laptop for his daughter starting college. He is going to buy one for her but the computer needs to last 4 years and do all she needs it to do to finish college. She has an iPhone and is requesting an Macbook Pro. I, being a Microsoft...

    NEW Xbox Elite Controller Release Date?

    What is the latest news on the 2nd generation Elite Controller? Price & Release date? My Elite controller has a broken trigger stop and I want to know if the new controller is coming or should I just go ahead and buy the current edition.

    Elite Controller Gone

    My Xbox Elite Controller right trigger stop broke. It no longer stops short. I went to Best Buy to replace it with the insurance and they did not have one. The closest store that had one was 2 hours away. Target, Walmart, and Gamestop didn't have any. Even Amazon is out. I had to take store...

    Switching to Galaxy S8 with Gear S3 watch

    I am looking to trade in my Lumia 950 for a Galaxy S8 & a Gear S3 Watch since MS does not have an interest in either platform; mobile nor wearables. Questions: 1) Will Outlook work on the S8? 2) Anybody converted with any regrets? 3) Hints, tips, & tricks to share? Thank you for your comments.

    LinkedIn going UWP?

    "Hey Cortana, does Microsoft support Windows Mobile?" "No, but they do support IOS & Android apps!" Nice! Why do we hang onto something Satya said last November; “We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do...

    LinkedIn going UWP?

    Just got the same email. Sounds like another nail being hammered into the coffin of Windows Mobile! Not even Microsoft will make an app for it's own product!! #WindowsMobileDead

    Would you buy an Otterbox Case for your 950/950XL?

    That's the one I have on my phone now but I do miss the holster & the protection of the Otterbox.

    Would you buy an Otterbox Case for your 950/950XL?

    Would you buy an Otterbox Case for your 950/950XL if one were available? I have always had an Otterbox case to protect all my Mobile Phones but since I purchased a Lumia 950 (transferred from Verizon) I am pretty disappointed with Holster/Case selection for the 950. My hope is to convince...

    Bye VZW

    Just did the same thing last Friday. The 950 is a decent phone with expandable memory, Hello, & a great screen. It does lack that flagship phone feel like the Icon. The 950 feels more plasticky but 10586.318 runs great.
