Will the next Windows be Linux?
Let's take a look at the situation MS is in. WinPhone is dead. MS made their big play for WinPhone to become relevant with the Nokia deal and failed completely.
So now they have a dead mobile OS, and old, 2nd rate OS still using a silly drive lettering system...
When I came to this site something like 5 years and almost 5000 posts ago, I didn't bother with formally introducing myself. I just dived in and started answering questions as best as I could.
But after all this time I felt like I should formally say goodbye rather than just disappear. So...
I decided to try getting 6.0 Marshmallow running on my trusty old retired Nexus 4. The goal was a fully functional, ready for prime-time installation, suitable for daily use. After some trial and losta errors, I finally got Marshmallow 6.0 running nicely. It's rooted and complete with the...
Just so QuickPic users know, be aware that this fine app that so many of us have relied on for years has been sold to Cheetah Mobile. No doubt they will soon do Bad Things with it, more about that below.
So unfortunately, I must recommend that you uninstall QuikPic and use an alternative app...
Sharing your information and keeping private information or downloading your emails on a company's servers bothers a lot of users and rightfully so. Out of curiosity, privacy statements and other information was checked for some of the most popular email clients to see how they treat security...
Finally decided it's time to replace my ancient workstation. No more tower with 2-3 HDs spinning, this time I got a Shuttle barebones MiniPC, actually a model intended for commercial use. Stuffed with Intel, a Samsung 500GB SSD and 16GB RAM it will pack a good punch for a book-size box.
Parts...
Simple question - anyone know of a calculator that supports keypad input sound? Requested by my wife so I gotta deliver! I tried this kinda goofy but simple one, the 'Pro' version was supposed to support sound but it didn't work...
AT&T is at it again. Trying to compete with Google Fiber by seeming to offer the same gigabit speed at the same price.
Except they really don't.
AT&T has put a price on your privacy. Pay the premium or they track everything you do and everywhere you go online. And will share the...

Suggest you sticky this thread. Lots a good info in it that shouldn't get lost, but no doubt it should have a different title.

These are live already. Changed this morning from an old Family Value Plan 2 lines unlimited talk + text + 2GB data each for $100/mo. to a new 'Uncarrier' Value Plan 2 lines unlimited talk + text + 500mb each for $80/mo. Got to keep our 15% AAA discount so I actually pay about $68/mo. + tax...
Signed up for both the gigabit internet and TV service. Should be installed next spring or summer. Then bye bye Time Warner Cable! Anyone else?

If you have questions about Google Fiber I'll try to answer them.

Will the misinformation about this stuff never end?
Title says it. If like me you have a 50 or 100GB Pro account Dropbox just doubled your space to 100 or 200GB for no extra charge. They also apparently double your free space because I went from 52.5GB to 105GB. Also added a 500GB option.
NICE!
Nokia didn't need WP7 or Android. Nokia already had Maemo which was far superior to WP7 and Android. They just needed to keep developing it and trash Symbian. Microsoft $$$ put a stop to that. M$ needed Nokia's market share to make WP7 a player and Nokia couldn't resist billions in M$ cash...
Very tempted to get a HTC Ville when it comes out. Problem is it will run Sense 4.0 on top of ICS. I always have run vanilla. Played around with Sense enough to know I hate it, but never actually owned a Sense device so my knowledge of it is kinda limited.
Question is, how well can I 'hide'...

Thought some might wanna discuss Carrier IQ and privacy. (See the news in the forum or Google 'Carrier IQ') This seems particularly evil, pre-installed malware.
Known to be on many Verizon and Sprint phones. I don't know about AT&T or T-Mobile. T-Mo has not responded on their support site...
Been searching and can't find exactly what I'm looking for. Trying to find a very simple app that will automagically turn on-off wifi, but ONLY to my home network or other specified networks when they're in range. if my specified network(s) are available - wifi is on. If not - wifi is off...
