Well if you assume the phone call could be recorded then splitting up what the password applies to and the actual password is, makes it harder to get unless of course you're targeted for something and your work phone/personal phone/email/carrier pigeon/etc. is all under surveillance. If that's the case you have bigger…

If anyone doesn't like gift cards send me any Starbucks cards you get. I love my Starbucks card, besides holding gold status for four years I've earned lots of free drinks because of it.

You're reading a little too deep there, what I said applies to just about anything from cars to computers. You never know what they person before you did to cause the product to perform worse than it normally would. For all you or I know there could have been 20+ apps open on the Surface she was looking at. I think…

The external drive you designate will have a folder called "FileHistory" and inside of that you should see your Username\Computer Name\Data\C\Users\ and the folders being backed up. So if your main computer crashed you'd have actual files you could copy back to your new/fixed system.

The way I see it, no matter who has the right of way if you're the pedestrian you will not win by walking out in front of a vehicle. Even when a car looks like they are slowing down wait until they've stopped.

I hate when people do that!

I totally understand, if there's no need you're better off spending $500 on something else. For me a tablet has a real place in my life between my smartphone and my desktop as they are great for meetings and far less cumbersome than a laptop. Have a great weekend!

Yes think of how much worse the conditions at Foxcon are and because of people like these guys products are destroyed causing those poor factory workers to have to produce more product. Or think of the consumer who buys a broken product and then has to spend more of their time trying to get it replaced. Guess what,…

Without pointing the finger directly at Wal-Mart alone, the blame goes to both the company that under pays and the employee. For one low paying jobs for the most part only garner workers who couldn't get a better job for whatever reason. The exception of course if a good individual who just couldn't find something…

Sounds like your experience had two things going against it. 1. Demo units aren't usually a good way to determine speed since lots of other people have probably messed around with it too much. and 2. You weren't dealing with a real store or someone who cares about the product.

Well for one the "gas pedal" is in the same place (bottom left corner) and the exact same key on the keyboard gets the start menu. Instead of being a little menu with a few apps listed or buried in all programs and then further buried in folders, you get a nice full screen menu with easy to see tiles and you can even…

Also depends on the driver, in mostly rush hour driving I still manage to pull a 24.6 MPG average per tank. If you're trying to compare to moving passengers like a plane would then you'll probably be at cruising speed on the highway which may net you a better MPG average depending on your speed.

Yes they suck. I was blindsided by someone who ran a red light last August. My car was repaired better than I seem to be...it's just never the same after an accident. Hope you feel better.

Hehehe, good one. I can laugh as I just had an MRI for a pinched nerve in right arm. Even though I've lost strength on that side my Lumia 900 doesn't feel like much at all. I'm thinking about the 920 if it becomes apparent that apps I need/want only work on WP8 and not the 7.8 scheduled to come out soon.

Sorry for the super late reply. I have a "Microsoft" app listed in App settings in Facebook and that has permissions to access facebook chat. I just don't remember if that was for my phone or my live account. Could be both

So should they have skimped on the battery to cut down weight? This review didn't say why it's so heavy. I'm interested to know because I have the 900 and was thinking about the 920 or just holding off until the next iteration.

After reading the article it's hard to see that lethal force would be deemed necessary in this case. Granted there are other countries that would shoot or imprison you for even accidentally crossing a border but that still doesn't make the action taken the only option available. I grew up in the valley, if they were…

This has to do with licensing costs. Most people buy a computer from an OEM, those computers already come with a copy of PowerDVD or similar. If it was your company you wouldn't want to pay for hundreds of millions of licenses if you didn't need to. http://www.mpegla.com/main/programs/M2/Pages/Agreement.aspx

So I tried it from the start screen, yes you're right about dragging them down, but you can right click on a "metro" app and close is the only menu item that pops up.

So this one concept users will struggle with the most I think. As far as I know "Metro" apps when they are not the active app go to 'sleep' like Windows phone apps do. From a resources point of view you don't need to close them. If the app is active, go to the top until the mouse pointer turns into a hand, then click…
