Yes, the above is somehow made of grass. 240 hours of pulping Twickenham grass clippings which are then moulded into a template which is then encased in an eco friendly resin. I can’t tell if this is a separate WP or a Lumia 520 with an alternative case. The whole thing is bonded together with locally […]

Lumia 435 vs Lumia 532 vs Lumia 535

Italian blog, HDBlog.it compares the low end offerings from Microsoft, Lumia 435, 532 and my favourite of the bunch 535. The first two seem identical in design but differ slightly in internals. Note that despite the 535 being highest numerically, the 532 one ups it in the glance screen arena.

I guess this is something I hadn’t encountered before since I had always been using phones with a minimum of 16gb storage. My aunt is now using the Lumia 530 which I set up for her some weeks ago.  But she’s unable to complete the requested update because there isn’t enough space on the phone. […]

Couple of updates for OneDrive and Z-launcher on my Note 4. It was also requesting for an update for HERE maps but it doesn’t download anything upon clicking. OneDrive supposedly has some visual changes. Next Lockscreen also seems to have a minor update.

Yes, I know I’m mixing up hashtags for brands but this is a great example of making something as cold as tech feel for human and personal. Though I guess majority of Cortana enabled devices are still Nokia branded. Anyway… Some redditors have shared Cortana’s responses to either being sick or feeling sad. The responses […]

Cortana on Android and iOS – lack of exclusivity on windows, good or bad?

Cortana on Android and iOS – lack of exclusivity on windows, good or bad?

| March 15, 2015 | 23 Replies

This topic had been specifically discussed a few times already when the notion that Cortana might be heading outside of the Windows Phone platform.
