I've been to Thailand several times and it seems like they have more freedom than USA. Maybe you're getting monarchy confused with government. PM is not monarchy.

Thumb Up

The new app works great. Just got done pinning a channel to my start screen (try not to be jealous android users).

WP8 already had a couple really good youtube apps, MetroTube and MyTube. The free option by Microsoft is great though.

My Nokia Lumia 920 is amazing and that's saying a lot since I was previously an android fan. I don't think it would of made much difference if they relased an android 920. It would be like the Samsung ativ s windows phone, most people I talk to have never heard of it or seen it.

Intel you are totally stupid... You forgot about T-Mobile.

Re: "few who can do basic maths"

Yeah. People are clueless. I bought a lumia 920 unlocked for 680 and and signed up with tmobile no contract plan here in the US. When I tell people, they think I'm nuts. But then I ask how much they paid for their phone and how much they pay a month and I'm saving around $800 in a two year period. Not bad at all.

Contracts are awful, it locks people in, takes away their freedom to leave, and they end up spending more in the long run. It only looks good on the surface.

Dear Samsung,

Nokia and HTC were smart enough to design new phones specifically for WP8. Most people don't care for a galaxy s III with windows installed. There were some users that may have bought your s III with Windows but you failed to release it here in USA. How do you expect to sell any when we can't buy it?

Regards,

Customer

Concrapulations, my sock could have supported life as well before they went through the spin cycle. We wasted decades on the space station and rovers we should have a Hotel and McDonald's on mars by now.

Windows

They actually thought it was a good idea to take the Windows out of Windows?

Windows

Are they making FF for Windows Phone 8? Does WP8 work like android or does it have the same issue as ios?

I'm lucky enough to have both a nexus 4 and a Lumia 920. I much prefer the 920, even though the OS is new, it seems more polished and feels more professional. Android seems like a kids toy, no wonder it's so cheap.

WTF?

Re: seriously...

I agree. Why would they host their services on Amazon when there are plenty of other companies they could work with.

Why are we wasting time looking for signs of life or mars? Just send some humans and be done with it.

Re: EU should look into others

Ah but Apple does have a monopoly in tablets where the hell is the ipad browser choice screen? This is all such BS. People already have a choice on Windows, they can install what ever browser they want. How hard is it really.

skydrive

Store them in MS Skydrive, you can share the folder with your family members. Then the pics will be on your computer, skydrive, and the user's computers that you shared it with. Don't forget to make a backup.

WP8

They're waiting for Windows phone 8 obviously.

Only Tiles?

On Windows 7, I have icons, folders and widgets. On Android I have icons, folders, and widgets. On WP8 all I get is tiles? I guess I'll stick with android so I can continue my windows 7 experience.

Another good reason to get the Motorola Photon. Mine rocks.

This is boring compared to AMD's world record over clocking video.

tower

I'm still waiting for an Opteron 6100 tower server for my office. Of course it would need to be quiet which means I'll probably need to build it myself anyway.

complete junk

I've used the dell 2848, and 5424's and I would agree. The OS is trash and the manual is worthless.

Ban china's trash

Every time china bans something from the west, the west should ban something from china.

I hate skype now. They ticked me off when the blocked Fring then I discovered Nimbuzz and now it's not possible to make skype out calls on Android unless your on wifi or have verizon. FringOUT is cheaper than skype anyway. I Just added 10$ credit and will try it out. Fring needs to make a windows app and then people will start making the switch.

Still Slower than HP dm1z netbok

What's wrong with you people? You still haven't reveived the best 11.6" notebook which is the HP dm1z. It has up to 5 gigs or ram and the Neo Dual-Core Processor K625 (1.5GHz). Plus the usual LED screen, HDMI port etc. It's been out for a while now.

Didn't Obama just create jobs?

That's funny then why did Obama say this on October 31 in his weekly address.

"it is clear that the Recovery Act has now created and saved more than one million jobs."

What a bleeping liar!!! The only thing that's clear is that this administration is complete BS.

That means OSX sucks.

Someone needs to remind apple how many more Apps are available for Microsoft Windows. Using apples logic one must assume that OSX Sucks.

RDX drives are a rip off

RDX drives are such a rip off. It's probably because they have zero competition. It's either RDX or off the shelf consumer usb drives. When is another manufacturer going to step up and make something to compete with RDX?
