    Unexpected Benefits

    How do you couple it to your Windows Phone? I'm trying to decide between Android and Windows for my first Smart Phone. I lean to Windows for " compatability " but really how many compatability issues are there anymore? Android Phones take pictures in standard formats, Office is available in...

    New HoloLens Demo is Mind-Blowing

    That's really neat. But what does it do for gaming? Or for an Excel spreadsheet. Or pretty much anything else we do with our computers all day. Better 3D? Well we certainly need that. When they can do it without wearing glasses / headgear. ==============

    Which phone is best?

    I have resisted getting a Smart Phone because I saw little / no need for it. I sit in front of a computer all day with a landline at hand. I did get a flip phone from Fry's / Kroger because it only cost $20 and $5 / month. I figured it was good to have in case I broke down on the road or needed...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    There's about 8 different things that will put a notice in that area and make it white. But the only one they tell you what the notice is for is for updates. If something changes in one of the other items such as bluetooth it turns it white but they don't tell you where the change was...

    I saw Barry singing at one of the 4th of July things and ... HE DOES SUCK His voice is completely gone and he should NEVER take people's money under the pretense that he is singing. He more or less croaks out the words. T'was sad indeed to see. His music helped many a dude score.

    I'm really happy with Edge and wish we could have it in 8.1 RIGHT NOW. It needs some improvement because you can only import bookmarks from IE and not from any other browser --- so far. Otherwise it is FAST FAST FAST. Pages such as ASUS.COM that take half a day to open and load in Firefox just...

    Well ... no ... there is one other option. You could BUY a copy of Office 2016. Pirating is frowned upon.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Just found a problem with Edge ... or, more likely, a gap in my knowledge ( gasp!!!! ). Can't import bookmarks from anywhere but Internet Explorer. No way to import from Firefox that I could find.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Now this --- 158 --- looks like an OS. Cortana is actually working for me and launching Quicken or Edge etc. on voice command as well as telling me the time and temperature === AND I can ask her two things in a row. I have it installed in this desktop so I don't know how it is on the SP and...

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Leaked releases are no good for me. I only install releases via Windows updates. I don't trust " leaked " versions which can easily carry very bad code and malware.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    People are complaining about no new builds because Windows 10 is < supposed > to be released to the PUBLIC on July 29th barely a month from now and the current build 130 is NOT READY FOR PRIME TIME and there is little time to send out more builds and get feedback and correct problems and get it...

    I'd buy that ... as long as it was reasonable.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    Is version 130 the last preview? There is a little over a month until release to the public so there is hardly time to put out another preview and get feedback and fix problems before it goes RTM. Which, in fact, is probably in only one or two weeks from now if it hasn't already happened --...

    Microsoft's Cortana Voice Assistant is Coming to Android in July

    At this time Cortana is a FAILURE in my book. At best it works intermittently --- when it works at all.

    Windows 10 Preview on Surface Pro 3

    I hope we don't have to install W10 as an upgrade. I always like to take a new hard drive and install the new OS and then re-install everything from my backups or from the original disks and get the programs data from backups. That way I don't carry over any bugs from the previous...
