    Opinion: Nokia + Microsoft: Can 2 Losers Equal 1 Winner?

    There are really 3 problems with WP7. 1. Lack of advertising. it has been 6 months since i have seen a windows phone commercial. I have never seen a Lumia commercial. 2. Lack of Apps. They need to give away the SDK to developers and give them incentive to build windows apps. Nothing is more...

    Mobile Operators Want a Nokia Lumia 900 with Android

    The problem is not the OS or even the Phone hardware. The problem is poor marketing and application availability. Microsoft needs to do 4 things in order to gain market share. 1. Make the WP7/8 developer kit free and available to everyone. 2. Don’t take a percentage of application developer...

    Barnes & Noble Wants Microsoft's Patents Probed

    To me a patent troll is a company that doesnt make anything (ie. RAMBUS) and just creates patents so they can sue people that create something similar. RAMBUS whole busniess model is based on that. Microsoft on the other hand does make products. some are great (Windows 7) and some bad...

    I have been running a Samsung Focus with WP7 for about 3 months. I love this phone. the number one complaint most people have about thier phones is that it has crappy reception or the volume is not loud enough. I think that a the number one priority of a smartphone, reguardless of the OS...

    Google CEO: In the Future, Kids Will Be Able to Change Their Names to Escape Onl

    I think the real problem here is how people are allowed to do background checks on people in the first place. denying someone a job because they got drunk when they was 21 and posted a pic of their ass on Myspace or facebook should not be allowed. they should only be allowed to check to see...
