Straight to video: Facebook to add 'view counts' to autoplay newsfeed vids

Since the videos start playing automagically of course they are going to count as being watched. Common sense. Give us the statistics for the number of videos watched all the way through without the user scrolling up or down the page away from the video and I'll bet it's far far lower.

Now Mr Z, give us a settings to STOP the videos from autoplaying. I for one don't want it.

Nokia emits Windows Phone 8.1 'Cyan' upgrade for Lumia gear

Re: More messing about

If you're going to attempt sarcasm veti then at least ensure you have the details correct before posting.

Cortana is currently available to anyone who cares to change the phones language and region setting to USA. It will be rolled out to other countries soon with China and UK being next in line to get Cortana.

Staged rollouts of killer feature. Just like Apple did with Siri. Probably Google too.

Wrong.

Cyan is the firmware update for Nokia Lumia devices.

8.1 is the OS update.
