Comment on Windows in Xbox One: a boost for Windows 8 apps? by Christoph Nahr

I’m also guessing there will be some degree of compatibility between Xbox One and Windows Store, but the big question is… will Microsoft allow games in the app section of Xbox One? That would be fantastic for indie developers who feel let down by Microsoft. If not, the usefulness will be rather limited as the type of app you’ll want on a mobile device (maps, notes, calendars…) is not that useful on the living room TV.

And we sacrifice the desktop…. for this.

Not saying that XBox 1 is bad, just questioning MIcrosoft’s priorities.

Comment on Nokia 925: smart camera and metal band design continues Windows Phone 8 and Lumia effort by Urs

Interesting read. Windows Phones will probably succeed due to MS diversity but what about Nokia? We will see in 1 or 2 years.
Thank you. Keep up the good work.

Comment on What’s in HP’s Beats Audio, marketing aside? by Mitch

Update the audio driver from the hp website. I was going nuts over this too! It’s a known driver issue and was patched months ago.

Guys and gals. If you’re experiencing hiss /noise through the headphone jack then make sure you mute your mic/line in under audio settings because that’s where it’s coming from. I figured it out within my first 15minutes of using my laptop. I have great sound on my dv6 laptop. I agree about the rebranded eq but it’s functional and serves it’s purpose and doesn’t interfere with hdmi audio, and I think the speakers/sub are fantastic for gaming and video there’s a definite improvement in the bottom and mid ranges, music sounds great too- for a laptop. I’ve compared my sound to a current generation non-beats hp G6 laptop and also a Dell. The beats audio wins hands down.

If your phone is unresponsive, you should first try these steps. This does not reset the Microsoft (Windows Live) Account or remove any consumer data.
Press the Volume Down + Power Key and hold them for 15 seconds.
You will feel vibration.
The phone will reset and boot up automatically.
If the phone does not respond, remove the SIM card and try again.
When the phone switches on, confirm that it has the latest software version by going to Settings > Phone update, and then tap Check for updates.

Lumia 620 i took firmware update on a new phone has been great.

Went to use facebook app loaded but went back to tile screen, tried to use camera that loaded but same again.

Tried hard reset and battery charge reset but it wont go past the nokia screen.
Vibrates when you plug in charger, but nothing as its off pc doesnt find it

So looks lime im sending it back to nokia, only had it two weeks too.

Hopefully they can fix it or send me a new one.
