And regarding the Windows 8 is poised at the brink of enslaving us in a gilded cage which will turn us all into palpitating porridge based eye puppets crap ... Can we at least try to keep in mind that this is totally conjecture. Nothing is or has been proven or verified as fact. No internal secret memos have been exposed substantiating any of these claims ... It's total assumption pure and simple.-Stoic Joker (November 21, 2012, 01:38 PM)
Stripped of the hyperbole on both sides, what it comes down to is pretty simple. And it doesn't take rocket science to analyze or see it.-40hz (November 21, 2012, 02:41 PM)
From one of the articles from above:
"That lack of multiple window support forced Nielsen to dub it "one of the worst aspects of Windows 8 for power users."
Is that true even in desktop mode? Can someone clarify/confirm that That would be enough to keep me from using Win 8.-TaoPhoenix (November 21, 2012, 11:53 AM)
It also serves as a simple example of what to enter, making explaining it simpler.-Renegade (November 21, 2012, 07:42 AM)
Um... Is this supposed to open and automatically target a specific (private but non-local) IP address by default?-Stoic Joker (November 21, 2012, 06:46 AM)
Well, the idea is that you'd use it on your own FreeNAS box on your own local network. You'd normally have it assigned a static IP address, or I would anyways. It doesn't target network paths like //freenas/shared/whatever.-Renegade (November 21, 2012, 07:14 AM)
No man, that's way too manual. The "Windows Phone" Windows 8 app auto-syncs content when plugged in over usb. There is also a Desktop/Windows 7 program (You linked to it previously) that I presume can do the same.-allen (November 19, 2012, 11:20 PM)

Apparently there's a version that runs on a Mac ... But:The Windows Phone app for desktop won't work on Windows RT.
That's rather dumb.-Stoic Joker (November 20, 2012, 06:43 AM)
The desktop app won't run on RT, none do. The Windows Phone app would work on RT and is what I use on Windows 8.-allen (November 20, 2012, 08:07 AM)
When you look at yourself in a mirror the objects you see reflected are inverted in the horizontal plane - why not in the vertical plane ?-joiwind (November 20, 2012, 05:42 AM)

I'm still waiting for Sprint to get their head out of their ass and offer some proper W8 phones. But for my current W7 phone the office mobile's Outlook tied to exchange does great for scheduled calendar events - I'm hoping/assuming that hasn't changed) - When a scheduled event pops up it plays a sound and a quick glance tells me what it's on about. I don't really need to swipe the phone open it's just there on the lock screen to snooze or dismiss.
How is the camera on the 920? I couldn't care less about the purest nitpicking about maximum bla-bla-bla ... I just want to know if the thing will take a descent picture that will still look right when it gets to a desktop. My current W7 HTC Aspire's performance is less than stellar in that regard.-Stoic Joker (November 14, 2012, 07:07 AM)
I've never used my phone with Exchange but as near as I can tell mail hasn't changed moving from WP7 to WP8. Those screen waking "toast" notifications are still in play -- much to the chagrin of some who feel it's a serious security/privacy issue.-allen (November 14, 2012, 08:22 AM)
The camera is fantastic. The way it stabilizes and compensates for my shaky hands is amazing, which also allows it to keep the shutter open longer in poor lighting making it likely the best low light camera phone on the market. I've seen some complain that images taken in good light are a bit washed out... nothing that can't be fixed with a firmware update. I think it's largely people who were hoping "Nokia PureView" would allow them to give up their SLR. It's still the best in-phone camera I've ever used.
Just took this - if you look closely, it wouldn't hurt to apply a little sharpness I guess.-allen (November 14, 2012, 08:22 AM)
Boot-level attacks are on the rise according to security experts. Attackers have found great success with rootkits that infect a Windows machine’s BIOS or Master Boot Record, giving them persistent and often undetected access to a machine. Boot-level attacks can also lead to further malware infections where an attacker can harvest credentials and use an infected computer as a pivot point for attacks on other machines in a network.-The Article
