Tech Tuesday: Project Spartan
Microsoft had to do something, because Internet Explorer became synonymous with old, broken, buggy and slow. They pushed out Netscape way back when, the uber-browser in the 90s, now they themselves got pushed out with newer, younger, prettier, popular browsers like chrome, firefox and a myriad of others like dolphin, opera, sail to name but…… Continue reading Tech Tuesday: Project Spartan
Tech Tuesday: Microsoft Phone’s Terrible, No-Good, Very Bad Day
Microsoft tried so hard to enter, take over the smartphone market and beat Apple to try and become the number one handset seller in the world. Well, the world handed their bottom line back to them on a silver platter.

Tech Tuesday: The Nokia 215 $29 Phone
Long have I been a fan of Nokia’s cell phones, since my first Nokia, the 151, then years later, the 9500 and 7380 (I’m still waiting for the Nokia Morph, guys).

Tech Tuesday: Rebranding Internet Explorer
Apparently there was a discussion over in Redmond on the Microsoft campus on how to revive the old Internet Explorer web browser. According to BGR , the most bandied about idea was to just rename the browser. Heated discussion threads ensued and nothing was done. If Microsoft is serious about reviving I.E., they would do…… Continue reading Tech Tuesday: Rebranding Internet Explorer
Tech Tuesday: Windows RT Slips into Obscurity
Windows RT was supposed to usher in the tablet era for Microsoft. But Windows RT has two fatal flaws: it’s missing crucial apps, and it’s poorly designed. Unsurprisingly, the stripped-down operating system failed to take off. (Actually, that’s an understatement: Microsoft took a $900 million write down last year because of awful Surface RT sales,…… Continue reading Tech Tuesday: Windows RT Slips into Obscurity
Tech Tuesday: Microsoft dumps Nokia Staff
from apps4top.co.uk As I’ve said numerous times the past few years, Poor Nokia! First they lose marketshare due to their pig-headedness in refusing to move with the times. Slow, buggy software in bright, attractive cases and exhorbitantly over-priced. They never learned, much to their regret (?). Then to have a fox-wearing-sheepskin CEO directly from Microsoft,…… Continue reading Tech Tuesday: Microsoft dumps Nokia Staff
