    More Surface tablets sold online in October than iPad tablets

    The data being referenced the past couple days was released by the market research firm 1010data. They clearly stated the source for their October figures as: "The data comes from millions of U.S. consumers who voluntarily share their shopping histories. The report did not take in account...

    More Surface tablets sold online in October than iPad tablets

    I don't think they 'cooked the books' -- the market research firm 1010data is a reputable one, and were pretty clear on what the data represents. Many tech blog sites have however skewed their interpretations of what the information indicates:

    More Surface tablets sold online in October than iPad tablets

    The SP4 launch proved helpful for October's figures, marketshare for the year though is Apple 34%, Microsoft 19%. A fairly new category created by market research firm IDC called 'detachables' will be more telling, as it will include only devices intended to be used with detachable keyboards...

    Downloading Amazon Prime video

    Is there currently a movie/TV subscription service that provides offline downloadable viewing for PC's or Macs? They all pretty much do it for individual rentals, not that I know of for the subscription model.

    If there were one, they might ;)

    Downloading Amazon Prime video

    Not a debate, they've apparently decided against that... at least for now. If it's something you feel strongly about, drop them a line.

    Downloading Amazon Prime video

    According to their support site, you can download Prime Videos with: Fire tablets (except Kindle Fire 1st Generation) Fire phone Android phones and tablets iOS devices If I had to guess, I'd say it isn't a matter of 'fixing', but more of content-provider restrictions. Those downloaded files...

    Downloading Amazon Prime video

    No, you're correct. Downloading of Prime Video for offline viewing is a recent addition to the iOS apps, the feature was added in September.

    SP4 Case recommendations?

    Incipio has a number of SP4 cases and sleeves at their site, though all their cases are listed as 'coming soon'. From the pics though, I'd say the Faraday model looks to be worth the wait :)

    Apple friendly CNET give the crown to MS

    The post's title included the word CNET, but nothing in the content was CNET specific. I've not really considered CNET to be all that great a resource for anything but topical tech info, regardless of platform. Even less so since they were purchased by CBS. They're mostly fluff.

    Apps crashing down while opening

    Sounds like a virus :eek:

    Apple friendly CNET give the crown to MS

    I'll bet Tim Cook regrets make the statement equating the iPad Pro as a replacement for PC's. For some of the earlier baby-boomers, maybe -- but not in general. That being said, I think this site is more about the Surface line of products as opposed to the whole platform comparison...

    Windows 10 how-to sp2

    That's too bad for you. I did a W10 clean install on my SP2 and it's worked perfectly, no issues whatsoever...

    Anyone else use canned air on their type cover?

    Canned-air can actually push stuff in and under the keys -- a horsehair vacuum attachment is more ideal...

    Hardware Update??

    Thought I was the only one -- annoying, I shut off the 'live' function for the Mail tile and just rely on the Notification Center.

    Hardware Update??

    Did you just update to the fall-release of Windows 10? I've read elsewhere, and have experienced it myself, that older firmware updates are re-installing after the upgrade.

    Iphone Photos SYNC w/ Surface Pro2 Like it does with IPAD

    You can -- there are a couple different ways. iCloud Photo Library is the easiest way, with your original full resolution photos stored in iCloud -- whatever albums you add, delete, or edit on your iPhone, PC, or Mac all syncs to iCloud, and then from there to whatever devices you've...

    Using the Surface to type on iPhone?

    I have, but not directly. Don't know that it's possible, but can't say for sure it's impossible either. Would probably only work with a jailbroken iPhone, as remotely controlling an iOS device from another OS sounds like a huge red security flag. If it were doable, you'd run the risk of it...

    Our promised new and improved OneDrive

    As a 365 subscriber, I'm nowhere near my 1 terabyte limit. I have 50Mbps up/down that in use is actually slightly over 60Mbps -- and find the service indispensable. At $30 less per year than a terabyte of iCloud storage, I get Office as well. I much prefer just being able to work with regular...
