Capcom adds story mode to Street Fighter V

It doesn’t change the fact that all this stuff should have been in the game to begin with. Instead they rushed out a beta for some stupid fighter game tournament that the vast majority don’t care about. The disc itself is absolutely worthless to a collector like myself. Years down the line when nothing is […]

How to save windows mobile in 2016?

I think they’re already trying to do what I think is their best option. Focus on the best and broadest range of tools for developers to make apps for the platform, this is key to laying ground work to compete in a very steep market place. If they can please their developers, it will gradually […]

Windows Phone Share Drop in April 2016

It looks to me like Microsoft have decided to make Win 10 as good as they can on all device sizes, get the ecosystem as good as they can through UWP apps and easy converters from other platforms (ie stuff which is largely just as relevant to the desktop as it is to mobile so […]

Windows 10 Mobile coverage at Build 2016

Since its Windows on every device type, although they haven’t mentioned anything in the build specific to mobile, it is and will help mobile a lot. This build is aimed at “needing windows to loving windows” for devs, designers. The more people use windows, the more userbase the devs can target and make apps for. […]

Here Maps for Windows Phone to be axed

So my theory about this decision is, that HERE was once build using many private APIs they could only use because Nokia had deep knowledge of WP8 as an OS and maybe was even capable of implementing some APIs on their own. Now that Microsoft took over that part of Nokia and HERE belongs to […]

Windows 10 Atom z2760 fiasco

So you cannot upgrade to Windows 10, so what. Windows 8.x has worked fine for you up till now will continue to work until the device dies. Everyone goes ballistic because they can’t upgrade. The Intel Atom Z2760 was a locked down platform from the beginning and when buying it you should have realized that. […]

Finding best photo editing laptops: what to avoid

If you are in the market for best laptop for photo editing, there are certain things you must keep in mind. You should not buy the top end laptop with highest possible graphics card because that would be just waste of money. We are not saying those laptops are not great for photo editing but […]

Why Lumia 650 does not support continuum

Technical argument for impossibility of running Continuum on 650 is just a pretense. There are pictures on the web showing Microsoft personnel demoing Continuum on Lumia 735. This means Continuum is perfectly possible on Lumia 650 too. If after that demonstration some changes invalidated the possibility that was real, that’s so unfortunate but I doubt […]

Will you buy Windows 10 Mobile device from non Microsoft manufacture?

I would like any manufacturer to make a Windows phone device if all the problems with Win10 were resolved. I know it has to be bugs and not everyone will be suffering issues I am seeing but at the moment I cannot make new folders (I have existing folders!) and when I install new lenses, […]

Cortana Experience on Windows 10 Mobile has deteriorated

I absolutely stopped using Cortana altogether in WM10, it was so slow, takes half a minute to load anything on my Nokia Lumia 525, and I had be blinded 30 seconds with that horrible mismatched white theme. Music search too slow, wont even recognize anything now, says no internet connection. anything I search takes another […]

Why windows phone 8 is strictly mediocre and why Microsoft should be worried

I have been on Windows Phone for nearly 2 years now. I still have my 2010 WP7 HTC Mozart. What brought me to this shiny new ecosystem was the UI – simple and fluid – it was clearly distinct and I made the switch from iOS and never looked back. However, I am starting to […]

Huawei, a good third alternative after Samsung and Apple?

Huawei’s been at the very edge of my radar for a few years, but since their phones aren’t compatible with Verizon’s (or previously for me, US Cellular’s) network, I haven’t considered them. There were a lot of phones I couldn’t consider last year, when I switched to Verizon. Next year, I may likely switch to […]

Surface Phone and x86 Application Support

I’ve been thinking about this for a while and my prediction for this phone (or whatever it will be) is that, no, it will not run full x86 apps. At least not in the sense that you pull it out of your pocket and fire up a full-blown Windows app. No matter what people say, […]

Lumia 950 Review

Microsoft Denmark was having a special event in their offices since they have just moved to a new building North of Copenhagen. So I played with some devices with prototype text all over them and even the interchangeable covers by Mozo. Funnily enough I crashed the phone twice while taking photos with the camera app, […]

AMD and 8 core fiasco

Bear in mind, this isn’t as deceptive at it sounds and will probably be thrown out. Bulldozer modules have two integer cores that can handle independent threads and a singe FPU core, so there are actually 12 “cores” in a 4-module chip like an FX-8350, and each Intel core actually has two “cores”. This concept […]

Open Letter to Microsoft about Limiting Storage on OneDrive

I have been a OneDrive user since the early SkyDrive days, and although I have been patient with the many changes to the service in that time (changing data thresholds and plans, the boneheaded decision to eliminate placeholders in Win10), I am nearing my limit with what I will accept from this company. Please consider […]

Microsoft and its Poor Corporate Decisions

Microsoft has a nice history of making poor corporate decisions. The redmond giant has a habit of moving one step forward and two steps backwards. In the late 90s and early 2000s, MSN Messenger was the de-facto chat program for Windows users. They gained market share rapidly and took almost all the users from ICQ/AOL. […]

Why I Hate Galaxy S6 and S6 Edge

Maybe if Samsung did not cripple their phones and make them disposable people would be willing to pay more for them. A top spec 700 dollar phone that I can add storage to, or replace the battery after a year or two should be usable for quite some time. Even if I upgrade more often […]
