Microsoft Investors wants Nadella to scrap Xbox, Bing and Surface?
The above suggestion was once attributed to Elop as his supposed plans should he become CEO. Despite Nadella being the new CEO, these suggestions chime in all over again according to the Washington Post. Two influential Microsoft shareholders have been pushing the Redmond software giant to abandon what they view as non-essential product lines so […]
New ‘Large’ size tile for WP8.1?
Nazwil8 tweets that there might be a fourth live tile size. We began with ‘medium’ square and ‘wide’ rectangle. This was followed by WP8 using more of the width of the screen and introducing ‘small’ square. For WP8.1, we can enjoy Mr Joe Belfiore demoing the resizing of tiles all over again with the ‘Large’ […]
360 ‘video’ of Nokia Lumia Icon from Verizon #929
This ‘video’ was grabbed from Verizon’s site showing the Nokia Lumia Icon #929 rotating 360 degrees.

In the animated .gifs below you can see how it works with vertical scrolling, horizontal scrolling (including a side swipe notification). Note that some of the tiles are slightly translucent to maximise the […]
WP Notification Centre on Nokia Lumia 1020 (Action Center)
Tom Warren from TheVerge seems to have a different version of the WP notification screenshot going around. This may be a mock up put on the 1020 or a different screenshot altogether. Â Either way, he confirms this new look is genuine. The four basic quick settings are customizable. I think I might set screen brightness […]
ArsTechnica responds to The Guardian – Fork off, “Neither Microsoft, Nokia, nor anyone else should fork Android”
Peter Bright from ArsTechnica responds to Charles Arthur’s suggestion on The Guardian that Microsoft should fork Android. Why? It’s unworkable. He says you can have compatibility or control but not both.  Google has worked to make Android unworkable. For those who might bring in Amazon, Peter discusses those shortcomings too. In the grand scheme of things, […]
