Why compare it with the Air though, when the latter has an abysmal display for 2015/16.

When cars crash, passengers automatically go back to where they started instead of dying, then one can innovate as quickly in cars as in phones.

This. The mobile equivalent of Office is not Office Mobile, but a combination of killer email, to-do and calendar apps. I really like Microsoft's direction under Nadella.

Maybe you can try the Shadowsocks browser app from the App Store. It has a public SSH tunelling proxy. You can also use your own server settings if you have one. Works pretty well for basic web stuff.

It was a lot more Orwellian in the 1950s-70s. Surveillance-wise Internet censorship and mobile devices are bringing the telesceen closer to reality these days.

It's a beautiful OS and Nokia had the best hardware design and quality for every price segment. Quite a shame the OS never took off and Nokia is gone.

I think there are two kinds of users of Markdown. One is those who don't need or want WYSIWYG. The other still want WYSIWYG but don't want to shift+arrowing around or constantly leaving the keyboard to reach for the mouse. The num

I'm surprised keyboard size is mentioned only once so far. When I have to type Chinese a bigger screen is a lot more accurate. I switched to my current iPhone 5c from a Lumia 920. Typing Chinese has been a major setback for me. (Typing

When Gmail was launched, I was accessing it with my 1M broadband from China. But boy was it fast. Not just fast, it was clean, simple, pure. Hotmail, in contrast, was clumsy and cluttered and Microsoft was stuffing everything MSN related in

Foreign automakers like VW and Toyota have been producing cars with joint venture companies in China for decades yet they still keep the core technologies to themselves. Their Chinese partners still struggle to make anything remotely close.

China officially don't take North Korean refugees. Once you're identified there's a real risk of being deported back to North Korea.

I'm not sure. Gmail's web interface certainly had been the best. But with the last overhaul, I ended up with big chucks of useless area on the top of my 1366*768 screen. Then there's the new Outlook. If we're stricktly t

True, but if many companies do this on a wide range of sectors then wouldn't it be hard, if not impossible, to distinguish "the West cowing down" and "private orgnisations being more pragmatic"? I'd say it&#x27
