    New product announcement on the 30th?

    I've been waiting for MS to come out with their smartwatch so I can see what to get. To be honest, I'm kinda disappointed. Galaxy gear it is.

    If Microsoft wants the Windows Store to succeed, why don't they invest $500 million into it

    Wait a minute. MS already tried this approach. Remember the $100 per app for a while back when? MS ended up with thousands of scam and crap apps.

    Apps wanted

    Oh, I didn't know that. Who are they? Added by edit. In that case, let me ask this question. Win8 came out in 2012, yes? We are quickly approaching 2015 and there's still no api for ppt or pptx view or edit. Why not? I've been trying to write my own, and I'm struggling here.

    Apps wanted

    I hope you realize this is not an official MS forum and that I doubt there is anyone from MS watching this place. I've complained to MS directly many times. Don't worry, you're not the only one who thinks there is something wrong with the way they do things.

    Apps wanted

    No excuse here. For the longest time MS was counting on quantity over quality. There were thousands of scam apps. They only started weeding out those apps after articles were written about them. During this time, I submitted an update to my app adding a speech to text ability. The...

    Continuing to refine the app... Double tapping or double clicking the bottom tab bar will scroll the document to the bottom. Double tapping or double clicking the top title bar will scroll the app to the top. Or you could press ctrl + up or ctrl+down to get the same effects. Just added night...

    I sent out an update late last night. Did not add anything major. Just a bunch of little refinements. Surprisingly, MS certified it within 2 hours and it is now in the windows store for download. It used to take days for my app to get through. At some point, they started kicking my app back...

    MS making a comeback

    http://www.pcworld.com/article/2838435/surface-tablets-nearly-hit-1-billion-as-microsoft-revenues-jump-25-percent.html Just a year ago, people were predicting left and right that MS was about to go out of business. Anyone else glad that MS didn't pull an HP on its surface tablets?

    I've been drawing many different strokes with many different colors on top of each other. Using lenovo miix 2 x86 system with atom processor. I can't replicate what you're saying. Can you be more specific? Perhaps attach a screenshot of what you're trying to draw and the specs of your system...

    Can you tell me what's wrong with the drawing feature? How should I refine it to make it better?

    Ok, just got home. Left my office early because I'm feeling sick. Table formatting is the bane for my app. I'll try to come up with better code for it. In the mean time... Regarding the layout, this is the one area that is unavoidable, especially when there are special things like bullets...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    You can thank all the desktop users for that. They've been acting like the desktop is dead even though it's right there for all to see.

    So, I've sent out an update that includes a translator. The translator supports 45 languages. You decide what in-out languages are. The translator will translate an entire paper. Just open up a document, choose in-out languages, and press the translate button. The app will create a new...

    Haha, I was digging through my old libraries and found a very old program I wrote a number of years ago. It generates BS essays that are grammatically correct but makes no sense. Just jargon. I'm going to adapt it to the modern coding and include it in the app. Should be a source of entertainment.

    [Rumor] Microsoft Considering Dumping the Surface Line

    Speaking as a developer, I really wish what you say is true. Unfortunately, my numbers are telling me something completely different. I published my modern word app about 3 months ago. You can see the discussion thread here. Since then, I've added tons of new features. Just download the...
