With the Window 8 pro offer of $40 to upgrade for anything, a side benefit is remote desktop will work for all. RDP is by far the fastest way to remotely access windows. It’s not as easy to connect as some of the competing services, but it seems like this may drive pricing of those services down.
Every time I try spotify and find another gaping hole in its content, I can’t help but think the emperor has no clothes!
When I used Zune pass the catalog was deeper than anything out there.
It could win if it weren’t Microsoft’s need to stay on ms platforms. How would Netflix have done if ms owned it? It would have been nothing.
Please Microsoft, get a Zune pass app on IOS and everywhere else and show everyone how little spotify offers!
I don’t think windows phones will sell any better by locking Zune to it and I’m certainly not dropping my iPhone for it.
These closed “ecosystems” are a no more than a myth coming from wishful thinking.
Just check your settings general for an over the air update. Mine is stalled so maybe it’s no too stable.
Well google has a new way to organize your inbox, which almost looks like sorting, but it’s not. You can “sort” by important, unread or starred. Yet you still can’t sort by contact or subject.
I can get along without it, but there are many users that stay away from gmail because of this. What bothers me is Google’s stubbornness when it comes to this. They finally caved in and allowed tags to nest like folders so you never know. Maybe someday we will have the luxury of sorting!
If you’re not a developer, it’s harder to find links. These seem to work
Also you will need the itunes beta 2 for it to be able to update to this version, at least that’s what I’ve heard.
Finally have an ipad2. Best buy was my store to buy (gift card bound), and it took weeks to get one. First one, light bleed heavy on three corners and sides.
What is light bleed? Scan this thread at MacRumors for many stories, but it’s light appearing from the edges and corners when the screen should be black.
So the store got more weeks later and what do you know another bleeder! So this time I took it back and luckily they had some still there. This time I checked it before I left, and slight bleed on one corner but too little to worry about.
Yes I paid over 700 for a device with flaws. But I think they have an insoluble problem or it’s not worth fixing because new model(s) are coming. If I were Apple I would not want to invest much if many people just let it go or don’t notice it.
But to be clear mine was quite noticeable. If you don’t believe me, it did pass the wife test, which is the theory that if she notices something that I would be picky about, it’s not picky anymore!
That said I can see why people love this device, it’s very polished. If this one had been bad I would have been tempted quite a bit by the new Galaxy Tab 10.1.
Maybe you don’t. It’s not been too bad, and it’s great to see the new features, but like any beta release it’s buggy. The worst bugs would be data loss, but none of that.
So far I have a radio app that doesn’t work with a station I use (ootunes), netflix will not work, the battery sometimes drains, and just now I plugged in my computer and installed just about all of my apps again for some reason.
But if you’ve got your mind set for adventure, you have to be a developer (pay the $100 fee to apple per year) or have a developer register your phone for running betas. The beta will not run unless you register your device. Developers are allotted 100 slots.
If you visit IMZDL, they will sell you a slot for seven bucks. I’ve used this site to download early releases and got a slot from them, they’ve been really good. I do know a dev but forgot to ask for a slot, but I consider the seven bucks a donation to the site where I was getting my downloads from anyway (great even if you have apple links because they’ve got torrent seeds which are very fast).
Good luck but you’re on your own! There have been claims you can’t roll back to a previous OS but I can’t say either way.
Facebook has a way to secure your account with 2-factor authentication, but it’s not nearly as robust as Google’s. However it’s better than nothing.
Read about the setup details here on their blog. What it does is send an SMS message with a code when you use a new computer. Then you don’t have to enter it again. Continue reading »
Read it here. Chrome only. Now if they would only add it to Google docs.
Did you know that Google has a much better authentication system than just username and password? If you don’t here it is. I was surprised so many people don’t know about it, but they don’t advertise very prominently.
