"especially wrt collaborative editing" - The office web apps got real time collaborative editing a couple of months ago [1]. I've used it and it works quite well. [1] http://blogs.…

I highly recommend enabling the two factor authentication feature. I got my account targeted by some botnet and was breached several times regardless of how ridiculous my password …

WP8 has been gaining momentum [1]; brushing it aside is a mistake. I also wouldn't count out WinRT. Surface 2 and the Nokia Lumia 2520 have received relatively favorable reviews. I…

They didn't 'cave' on the YouTube app. Google wouldn't allow it and was using it as a means to wage ecosystem warfare. It was a pretty stupid/ugly fight that went back and forth: h…

The 'no image capture' story is not true. Apparently there was some bad information given out by an Instagram public rep. See https://twitter.com/zpower for more info.

I think opponents of stack ranking generally overlook this fact. Yes, it's terrible if you have a 5 person team, but the data becomes more normal as you add more people.

You need something more quantifiable than that when you're running a giant organization... Your approach would absolutely work in a startup of 20 people or less, but try that in th…

It's an MSR publication, not a marketing team pitching a product. I don't think anyone thought hard about the name.

IE has Adblock Plus.... https://adblockplus.org/en/internet-explorer

But then people won't do it. You have to force security update installs. There's really no better way around it. I think you have 2 days after the updates install to before it forc…

Or better yet, they could stay the course and realize that architectures are going to have to be abstracted over in the decades to come.

I think it was the device. If you read the reviews (or better yet, used one) you'll see that it suffered from severe performance issues. That seems to have been resolved in the new…

"least amount of hassle, pain and blind rage" - I find that comical. My short experience doing android development has been nothing short of a headache which I eventually rage quit…

I read another post and then responded to the wrong one... Deleted.

Yup. Microsoft would sue in about a week.

Absolutely

Stylus support is a good point, but you could also just use a good mouse to perform complex 'mousing'.

I would wait till version two comes out before writing anything off. Surface 2 will undoubtedly address many of the flaws that you (and me) found. Since Microsoft will be iterating…

Yeah the framerate is great on whitehouse.gov videos. I'm not sure how or why but it is nice to see considering I don't have cable and therefore this is how I get my major press re…

Yup. That's protectionism for you.

Eh that's weak though. What's the rationale for holding this from non paying customers? It's not like anyone would pay for Google Apps because of this feature.

So does this mean that Google is the last major Mobile OS development company to provide this service (behind Apple and Microsoft, respectively)? What took them so long? You'd figu…

You most definitely were not.

I wouldn't say stupid things like this. I work in Windows Phone and I have a lot of faith in our product (and judging by reactions to the 1020 and our customer sat ratings, it look…
