    Facebook App

    Critically important app for Microsoft and surface. It helps that the app works very well. This alongside twitter are core apps for most that own tablets. Flipboard will be big whenever that comes out.

    Both Google.com and Yahoo.com not working properly in IE11 on my Surface RT

    On my Surface RT, I'm having major problems with two websites that I visit frequently. If you do a search on Google.Com, the results appear vertically and only fill up 1/10 of the screen. Did IE11 somehow mess up Google's website If you go to Yahoo.Com and begin to scroll through the...

    How do I upgrade to RT 8.1 if I had preview?

    The only thing that ended up working for me was the manual way you indicated in another thread: "Try here: Copy to browser.... ms-windows-store:WindowsUpgrade" I'd be concerned if I was MS and others have this same issue. It shouldn't be this clumsy. I called the Surface support number...

    How do I upgrade to RT 8.1 if I had preview?

    I tried to force it using the other link you provided to be pasted in the browser.. and it gave me a message that the update failed immediately because of error code: 0x80200056 Any clue what this error code is? Nothing comes up when I did a search.

    How do I upgrade to RT 8.1 if I had preview?

    All that link does is open up the store and the store doesn't show the update for me. This is so strange. I have no freakin idea what to do...

    How do I upgrade to RT 8.1 if I had preview?

    I still can't get it to work. I installed the firmware update and I've gone to the store all day and still don't see it. It shows me the new Facebook app etc. but I can't install it because I don't have 8.1. Still not sure what to do to make it appear...

    Wedge mouse

    If anyone is interested in getting the wedge mouse (not surface edition), Amazon is selling it at a discounted price $33. I just ordered one myself... I think it should be a pretty good deal at that price...

    SD Recognition After Restart

    I know we like to think that the Surface could not be the issue, but in my case it was. I went to the MS Store and checked my micro sd card with 2 other Surfaces who had no issue recognizing the sd card after restart. The MS store promptly replaced my Surface on the spot and I have no issues...

    Offficial Twitter App Now Available

    Big win for MS & Windows 8. I also like how the store was instantly updated to highlight the new Twitter app... shows you just how aware Microsoft is of when the big apps get released :) No need for MetroTwit and Snap mode is the big differentiator for this tablet vis a vis iPad. Facebook and...

    Splashtop 2: Realtime Remote Desktop, Fluid Streaming video and x86 games

    Still a mess now.. if videos are being sourced from somewhere else then it's a problem.. plus no silverlight. So yes, there is a workaround to update the whitelist... but HBO.com still isn't loading.. sites like redfin.com don't pull up search results. Ok, I am not going to get started on...

    Splashtop 2: Realtime Remote Desktop, Fluid Streaming video and x86 games

    Does this mean we now have full flash capability by using our Mac/PC's web browser?! You are saying you have no lag when using your PC's/Mac's browser, playing iTunes, etc? This is pretty cool!

    True IE Splitscreen Mode using "tool box" app

    A few issues I've already noticed in toolbox: One issue I am seeing right now with the toolbox browser is that it doesn't work on some sites that have flash. E.g, you can't play videos on ESPN.com or HBOGO like I can on the IE Browser. These are some limitations that are stopping me from...

    True IE Splitscreen Mode using "tool box" app

    I cannot find the modernmix app in the app store. Is it called something else? Are there other splitscreen browsers that you know off? I really think that this may be the first app I've downloaded that is a true game changer for the surface..every other app is just really a port of something...

    True IE Splitscreen Mode using "tool box" app

    I've seen this app in the appstore and even mentioned here, but I never downloaded it until now. This may be the first app I have seen in the app store that truly takes advantage of the widescreen of the Surface. One example is to go into true splitscreen with 2 browser windows in the...
