    Hi all, has anyone noticed when you slide down to kill an app it still sits in task manager??

    Haha. I'm still bitter about a 1 star review I got 5 months ago for my main app (modern word). It's a touch oriented word processor. There is an option that makes the app read-only. It's there so people can read documents without accidentally bring up the virtual keyboard. All it is is a...

    Hi all, has anyone noticed when you slide down to kill an app it still sits in task manager??

    Believe it or not, "desktop programs" are also apps. Developers have been using the term "app" for decades. If you want to differentiate between full screen apps and desktop apps, you have to say modern (metro) apps versus desktop apps.

    Hi all, has anyone noticed when you slide down to kill an app it still sits in task manager??

    I don't know what MS intended when they put in the swipe down gesture to close the app rather than a simple "X", but let me share you my opinion on this matter. As an app developer, I understand that I get blamed for everything, including things that are out of my control. My current main app...

    Why Do Most Windows-Based PCs/Laptops/Ultrabooks Suck? Why Surface Exists:

    I actually agree with this article regarding the trackpad. I've come across too many windows machines that had terrible trackpads. The problem is the age old quantity vs quality. Companies like asus are notorious at pumping out as many hardware as they can with minimal support. Apple's model...

    3 generations in and still: Ghost image glitch on lock-/welcome-screen

    I will definitely try this as soon as I finish running my program for work. That being said, I do not deny that this happens. What I'm trying to get at is how this would affect my work performance or why this is such a terrible thing that the powers that be must stop everything to change this...

    3 generations in and still: Ghost image glitch on lock-/welcome-screen

    I don't think anyone is laughing at this. At the same time, I think he's too focused on a weed to notice the forest. I'm questioning how this split second ghost image affects my work. If this is such a big issue, why not just drop the sp3 and get an ipad?

    3 generations in and still: Ghost image glitch on lock-/welcome-screen

    I just shut down and restarted my sp3 3 times while intently watching for the ghost image you describe. Still nothing. A video demo by you would be really nice. I remember back when windows 8 first came out when the start button wasn't there. There were many who cried bloody murder on the...

    The sp3 really is capable of everything

    My beef with iOS is printing. There is no native api for printing in iOS. In other words, it's not a serious work device. It's closer to a toy that most people think.

    Anroid Emulator: Android OS On SP3

    Might as well share my opinion on here. Let me be honest. After deving for android for a couple years and used everything android, I decided to call it quits and left the ecosystem completely. Why? Too fragmented. Individual manufacturers are free to add in whatever crap they think is best...

    Undervolting Revisited

    Ghost image for a fraction of a second at the lock screen... I swear everything bothers people these days.

    Tester needed for winrt version of my app.

    Bump. Forgot to say. I'm asking a winrt user to download the trial of my app from the windows store. So, it's not like I'm asking you to download and install an unsafe, unverified app. Here's the link to it...

    just got me this beast- Dell XPS 730X

    Haha. I'm always fascinated by gamers' enthusiasm with... gaming. My boyfriend tried to get me into gaming for a while. Never really caught on to it. Before that, the last game I played was the original nintendo mario. Anyone here remember that?

    charging cable with a usb on the other end?

    Ditto on hughile's post above. Also, FYI people, if you plug the surface into something that outputs 5V, you're going to get the trickle charge effect where it takes like a week to charge up your device. And no, the opposite isn't true. If you plug a 5 V device into something that outputs...
