    Smarter on-screen keyboard behavior?

    I recently put my finger on a big difference in UX between my Surface and iPad: in iOS, the keyboard only appears when you can enter text. When no text field is active, the keyboard goes away. In contrast, on Surface, I open the keyboard to enter a URL into Chrome, hit enter, then have to...

    Temp and Power Mgmt App?

    I have done everything I have found to make my SP3 run cool and efficient, but at times the fan still comes on mysteriously and when I check, the back is warm. I open task manager to look for some mysterious power-draining app or process and find nothing. Is there any sort of app that alerts...

Ideally it would fit over the top of the fingernail so typing with the pads of my fingertips isn't intruded upon, but I can still touch the...

    Finger-style Stylus?

    I've had my SP3 for a month now, and it is doing exactly what I wanted; giving me enough power to bring all the desktop-type capabilities I need on the road with me. This is my first roadtrip with it, and I deliberately left a mouse at home to see if I could get used to a touchpad/pen-only...
