I really like the I integration people provided on Windows phone. But it was conceptually different that I can imagine some would have difficulties to understand. And then there was the total lack of official banking and public transport apps. And it became hard to justify using it. And I haven't even talked value things like Apple Pay on the underground and uber etc.
I much preferred the UI, also liked iCloud support, well caldav and cardav, out of the box. But the lack of good useful apps made me stop using my Nokia 930.
I can't believe some of the comments. Why do these dancers keep being referred to or linked to as strippers? That seems rather disrespectful to what they do, and I'm sure they'd have a very different view on their job.
I can't believe the political correctness gone made and how these dancers get labelled. They wear more clothes than you see on a typical night out in a British Northern Town on a Friday or Saturday night.
I guess some people just aren't happy unless they are offended.
Rookworst is good, HEMA at Victoria station in London sells it as well. In the UK a Matteson classic sausage comes close but not quite there.
For me it has to be a rookworstje with the Hutspot, but a nice beef sausage with a stamp pot like Boerenkool.
Neither are post pub nosh, to me they are pre pub nosh as they provide an excellent base. Post pub nosh has to be trying to eat/empty a whole row at Febo before they can fill it up. Or een broodje Shoarma. Please don't even begin to compare it to the disgusting kebabs in the UK, this includes proper meat not just processed and formed rubbish offcuts.
such a shame this doesn't run full OS X. Without that I just can't take the Pro element seriously.
I like this form factor on the move, so much so that since getting my Surface Pro I haven't touched my MacBook Air. However for it to be Pro I'd like to run full applications and plug it into a dock when at home or the office and get the full desktop and full application experience. For the money and the size of the device that shouldn't have been too hard I would have thought.
In the mean time I will remain with my Surface Pro 3.
I've only got 384 apps so can't test it, but a habit I've got left over from when OS X was running on my main machine was launching with spotlight. Under Windows 8.1 I don't the same thing, and now under Windows 10 this is improved even more...
Just press the Windows key and start typing the name of the app. Works super quick for me and should get anyone going until a patch is released.
when my 6+ screen broke I required a phone asap. Got a Lumia 930 delivered next day. I liked it so much that I didn't get my iPhone fixed for 3 months. However I did this week as I just got sick and tired of the just barely one day battery life.
The apps are absolutely fine, windows phone got everything it requires. The os I like. However hardware wise and battery optimisation just isn't good enough. It is just like my android (including nexus) experiences, looks pretty but basics just aren't stable enough.
iOS is very boring looking, the life tile concept is great. But all is pointless when there is no juice left to check email, send a text or make a phone call.
In my opinion part of this is user error. There is nothing stopping anyone from disabling iMessage, or just disable it for your phone number and leave the email addresses attached to it.
I'm not quite sure how Apple technically should automatically and magically notice this.
I've switched three times (and gone back again) and never lost anything. The only times that I noticed I didn't get anything was when other users were actually messaging my iMessage linked email address instead of my phone number.
Granted the new website makes it easier to deregister for when you no longer have your iPhone, but lock-in it hardly was...
whilst I agree this shouldn't be a surprise, I also think it should be switched off by default and make it crystal clear what will happen when you switch it on.
I think it is the practise of having it enabled by default that is not great. Really shouldn't happen in 2014, especially not when you upgrade and this already have saved application states.
I've chanced to Android, back to iOS, to WebOS, to IOS, to Android, to iOS, to BB10, to iOS. Always got my text messages no problem at all. A case of pibkac and or she needs better friends.
Interestingly, IMO Apple is not interfering with her service, but with those of her friends.....will be interesting to learn the outcome.
In the mean time, get better friends.
Young? I wished....Rather experienced unfortunately...
Always easy to get some extreme examples in. Those weren't related to users having a home NAS, or even a consumer NAS in a company that deals with sensitive information. It is really hard to prevent all leaks of anything, and those with actual experience in those industries can highlight many a wart on the systems, not least some of the business processes.
However preventing the use of home network devices, backing up of local hard drives on personal devices etc is really not hard, and also not costly...It does require people that know what they are doing, and taking their job seriously....And a hint, encrypting your files doesn't prevent them from being copied ;)
It might be me, but I don't get this article. Yes sure they could share stuff to the cloud, just like phones, tablets and many other devices do. Nothing really that special there, and devices that automatically punch holes to make themselves accessible aren't any new either...
However, what on earth is the build like of that undisclosed company, that lets its users of its laptops back up the data to private devices in the first place? Where are the controls around their sensitive data? Why is that laptop able to share with non-regulated networks like at home, at Starbucks etc....
As I said perhaps it is just me, but to me that is the key issue. Not that a device made to share data is sharing data....
Actually the integrated HD5000 graphics are pretty good. Aperture is an OpenGL resource hog where the whole UI is dependent on graphics card performance. It runs superbly on my external 2560x1600 screen from my MBA (2013 model) together with a second monitor...
As does the whole Creative Suite....Nothing wrong really with those integrated graphics. They are now very different opposed to earlier generations....
It is £79 standard procedure to have your iPad battery replaced.
I've looked for my nexus 7 2013 and galaxy tab 10. Other than some DIY movies to crack open the device and still spend £40 at least on a third party battery, and requiring special tools that most won't have laying around. I see very little direct manufacturer info when I google on how to get them to do it.
Hmm I quite like the open and upfront apple approach for this. And I don't have to damage my device.
Have been using dab for years. Both our cars (one a Toyota the other a Mercedes) have it build in a standard. And the three radios in our house are dab as well.
Living in the country side we keep loosing stations on fm whilst with dab it can stay tuned in.
Sounds pretty good as well to my ears without any of the interference on fm.
Yes, exactly the same for me....Name or any piece of meta data...The way the 'search' is implemented in OSX makes it much quicker than anything else to find, launch, edit, view, or whatever opposed to using a (file) browser of some sort...
Sure I can understand people wanting to organise and manage it themselves as that is what most are used to, personally I find it rather archaic as the 'views' of information sets can change depending on the activity.
I actually quite like it in Windows 8 and Unity...But neither seem as fast as Spotlight in OS X.
I look at it like this....I like docking stations for my laptop, they cost money too. As such just having to plugin one cable and having everything else connected is pretty good and much more desirable than all individual connections to a laptop...
Sure a lot of money, but so are decent docking stations...
You still don't get it, corporations don't pay for their tax people do ;)
And remember, each artificial interference by government will affect another group. We don't need the system distorted like that, let capitalism do its thing...
Exactly, if they are doing something wrong by following the rules laid out by the government. Why hasn't the government (especially the 13 years under Labour's policies) done something to change the rules to ensure it fits with their policy.
I wonder whether Ed Milliband has got any ISA's or say Pension contributions through which he avoids paying tax. And then there is ofcourse his own brother David who is employing exactly the same type of tax avoidance schemes...
Oh the hypocrasy of it all and cheap point scoring and propaganda, but it surprises me that I am surprised.
I've had a Z10 for the last few months, haven't found a way of creating the meeting as you described, but do like how when looking at the intact I see all that information and can search for it as well.
Ps. Siri on ios was very capable of creating new entries in exactly the way you described. I did that all the time, and not just meetings, but also create tasks with reminders etc
Yes'ish...but Webkit is really Apple's donation isn't it. Sure it has roots in there, but the Webkit project began as a fork within Apple in 2001, then opensourced again in 2005, and KDE switched to Webkit in 2010...
So the majority of the browsers (according to WikiMedia in September 2012) is being viewed through Apple donated opensource webkit :) That should give the anti-Apple fanboys some joy to downvote the truth...
Odd, I bought the 64GB version in september, it integrates just fine with CalDav and CardDav both on iCloud and my own hosted server. It is actually rather good that way.
One thing I've got against it is that the battery consumption on standby seems to be shocking. I'm sure it is probably my settings, but that should really be sorted out of the box.
Secondly, and more related to all 7" devices not just the playbook, I like reading on my tablet. I have large contracts, reference manual books, magazines etc. On a 7" device I just have to keep zooming in/out, I can't read a page of A4 comfortably, let along annotate the PDF with comments and return it. For that my iPad, to replace my Sony PRS600, is still king.
But as a toy, play a game, etc it is ok...
What I like is that they integrated (continued from the Playbook) proper caldav, carddav support. Very cleverly that way it also integrates with the Apple iCloud for synchronising your address book and diary across various devices...No need for BES, Exchange or Google propriatary systems...Combined with IMAP IDLE, it is a nice little device with good integration...
I can't receive any of the networks where I live...The suresignal is the reason I've been staying with Vodafone and most of our neighbours are with vodafone as well. Absolutely brilliant solution for rural areas.
No more stopping at the beginning of our lane to forward my mobile to the land line, or walking to the edge of our land where if I lean across the stream I might just get a connection....
It is briliant...
I had none of these issues during the beta period since early July...I must admit I hardly use satellite imagery but I did check my own house which before this week was clear and now it isn't...
I think something else is going on rather than fundamentally daft maps as it has been fine...
Ofcourse there are holes in everything, there is a big difference though with holes that only work when you have physical access to the device compared to those that have not. And the lack of patching is not just regarding security holes, for most functionality patches, or timely upgrades for additional functionality would be fine as well.
It is a shame that many of the carrier and also the phone manufacturers shoot themselves in the foot with unnecessary personalisation to differentiate themselves. It makes it hard and systems become unsupported way too quickly.
So these are essential app? Which make it look like a tablet instead of a phone? Wtf? Install a useable keyboard opposed having a good one in the first place? Wtf? Make it look like iBooks with a blatantly obvious knockoff? Wtf? Install a file explorer to clear the junk? Wtf? That is so last century to do that manually.
Damn and I was expecting to see some killer apps in there. Where are they?
Ps. What about the iOS killer feature flash? Surely that was the reason iOS never takes off, so why isn't that in the list? Then again still just software to make it useable opposed to great apps.
I agree, I was really hoping at the time that the Courier would be launched and unfortunately it didn't. This would be a fantastic add on to an iPad....
Loving all the armchair patent experts on here thinking they can determine the outcome. Perhaps if they know it so well, they should apply to get a job at the patent office. No? Indeed, didn't think so either...
I've been using the iCloud tabs now for just over a week and got to say I like it a lot. It may depend on ones habits, but mine are to constantly hop between devices (desktop, laptop, tablet, phone) and being able to continue where I left of on another device is brilliant...
I performed was on a 5 year old Macbook with serviceable battery exchange...I ordered one from Amazon, it arrived the next day...And guess where the old one ended up bad boy I am...Yes in my bin...
A non-user serviceable item can be guaranteed to be recycled by the service provider, I would have thought that is much more eco friendly.
All this talk about the costs is just noise, if you don't like it vote with your feet and don't buy it...
which has the dongle in the thunderbolt monitor pass through port, one cable to connect and I've got power, external display, firewire, usb, ethernet, external direct attached storage etc...
If I really really need a DVD Player I just remotely connect to one on the desktop macs or use an external blu ray writer...
Will this be the introduction of 4K displays at an 'affordable' consumer price level? It would be great if they were able to pickup the proper Kuro patents and able to move it on and implement it. But then again if that is true it would be at enthousiast prices :)
Whilst Panasonic, and Samsung produce decent enough sets...Since Pioneer has left that market there is something excellent missing...
I agree, I used to have the Desire HD and my wife the Legend...And you know what the Legend was the 'better' phone in my opinion. Sure on the spec list is may not fare that great like with the iPhones but in actual day to day use it was a brilliant smart phone...
