Yes probably to the OEMs, like I said, but I suspect in the future a current Windows consumer will be able to upgrade pretty much any version of Windows to the latest for free. People see the OS as free these days. They get updates to their

I wonder how Microsoft will respond to this? Come July 2016 will Microsoft really stop the free upgrade from 7/8 to 10 or will they just make Windows free to consumers? Obviously there will still be a (small) charge to OEMs and for bus

So what exactly are you trying to say then? How does Android lose Google money?

Android brings people into the Google eco-system which is where they make their money. They want people using their services which is why they give Android away for free. They make money on every app, video, music purchase. People who pay f

Because Microsoft's efforts were on the stupid new modern UI and Windows 8 under Sinofsky. Seriously that guy did so much damage to Microsoft. There is no reason Microsoft should have been in 3rd place in the mobile market (4th really

Windows Phone 7.5, 8, 8.1, now 10. Windows 10 has seen over 110 million activations according to Microsoft yet no figures regarding uptake on Windows Store apps. We still see apps leaving the Windows Phone platform (Mint app last week for e

I think it is pretty clear that Android is Microsoft's plan B in the mobile market. I know they have kind of said that already although not in so many words. I wouldn't be shocked to see a Microsoft Android phone at some point if

Is there such a thing as a drive controller rootkit that can intercept/process data? Something that can understand common FS such as NTFS and they "lie" about what is really there? Perhaps inject additional executable data in

Nice idea but I don't really see why I would use this over something like Simplenote that does a fantastic job of syncing a simple text list.

Hmm the NAND write is a little low. Not a huge deal but a little surprising for a machine of this spec/price.

I love the web but I hate to work in the web. It is a shitty experience. Getting my data in and out can be a pain in the ass and slow. There is very little proper integration between services for obvious reasons. On the desktop I can pump d

I love Dillo. It reminds me of when I was ~14 back in the mid-to-late 90s and learning C++ with a copy of Visual Studio 97 my dad "got me from work". Back then things were very different and teenage me wrote a pretty nice browser

So what makes this any different to all the other Android based mini computers? All I can see is a mind-map like interface and a montly subscription cost to use "any" application in their store/eco-system.

Not really the point. Sure I can stick Linux in a VM but what if I want to run something other than Windows on hardware that I own ?

I love programming when it is for myself or something I am passionate about. However writing CRUD apps or other mundane LOB apps is pretty mind numbing after a while. I don't regret leaving programming as my job but I could never give

Honest question: why would I get a 5X over a Moto X Play which is cheaper or Moto X Style which is only £20 more (in the UK at least) and has better specs?

It is hard to explain but I can just understand the structure of the face and my brain can sort of automatically map that to a 3D model of their head. I don't even need to try and look for distinguishing marks. I just look at the face

I hadn't really thought about this until my wife pointed it out to me a year or two ago but I apparently have "weirdly good" face and name recollection. My wife on the other hand isn't all that good at it. Not bad but no
