Not just Windows Blue: The rest of Microsoft is shifting to yearly releases, too

If a source close to Microsoft is to be believed, Windows Blue is a lot more than just annual updates to Windows 8 — it’s a massive shift towards regular updates for almost every Microsoft product, including Windows Phone, Windows Server, and online services such as Hotmail and SkyDrive. Historically, Microsoft’s major products have usually been on a 3ish-year release cycle. This is a fairly standard timeframe in the software development world, especially when it comes to operating systems and productivity suites that need to be rigorously tested before being deployed on hundreds of millions of computers. Fast forward to today, though, and three years is quite literally a technological lifetime. So much can happen in three...

How to bring back the Start menu and button to Windows 8

  If you’ve just installed Windows 8, or bought a Windows 8 PC, you may have noticed something rather irksome: The Start button and menu have disappeared! After spending almost 20 years at the bottom left corner of your desktop, Microsoft has decided that the Start menu is dead and that the mouse-and-keyboard-hating Metro Start screen is the future. Despite Microsoft’s best efforts to ensure that the Start button and menu remain banished from Windows 8, a bunch of third-party replacements have emerged. Really, it just goes to show how devoted the Desktop Windows userbase is: Microsoft completely stripped out the underlying Start menu code to quash potential Luddite revolutionaries, and yet months after the release of Windows...

How Apple can make the iPhone king again

Shortly after the launch of the original iPhone in 2007, it was clear that Apple had a certifiable hit on its hands. It was the first smartphone that earned the name — the first mobile device that could put a smile on your face just by doing is job. But more recently the news has brought stories of production cuts and muted reactions to new devices. The iPhone is still a great phone, but little by little those smiles from 2007 are going away. Let’s take a look at how Apple can turn that frown upside down. Hardware It seems like Apple is adept at setting trends, but not so good at recognizing them when the market is moved by its competitors. The current and ongoing increase in screen size is the most prominent example. The...

Samsung Galaxy S4: What to expect from the most anticipated smartphone of 2013

Share This article 4inShare In an attempt to steal the thunder from Nokia, Asus, Sony, and a slew of other mobile device makers at Mobile World Congress 2013 in Barcelona, Samsung has announced that the Galaxy S4 will be unveiled at its own exclusive event in New York on March 14, with public availability to follow soon after. With the slow but inexorable waning of the iPhone, both in terms of mind and market share, the Galaxy S4 is probably the most anticipated phone of 2013. The question on everyone’s lips, though, is whether Samsung can push the smartphone (and Android) envelope forward, despite lackluster innovation from Apple — and in the face of strong offerings from HTC. Let’s run through the expected hardware...

How do you make a transparent smartphone?

If you need to ask why you would need a transparent smartphone, you probably don’t really need one. After all, not only would it be hard to find, particularly if transparent when powered down, but others could easily see exactly what you are working on. It is only when you take a step back that you realize that the state of being non-transparent, or opaque, is the weaker condition. If by nature you possess transparency, opacity can be just another option under a menu, while the converse is clearly not true. The real power once you have it, is not just that you get opacity for free, it is that you get everything else in between. A prototype device being developed by Polytron Technologies from Taiwan, pictured above, shows some...

Firefox OS launches in the US in 2014, but users are in for rough times ahead

After losing significant marketshare in the world of browsers, Mozilla has begun shifting gears to focus on competing in the mobile space. Webkit-based browsers are dominant on the desktop, but it’s even worse for Mozilla in the mobile space as it stands now. This year, phones running the new Firefox OS will launch in numerous different countries in Europe and Latin America, and they’ll hit the United States in 2014. Will this be enough to keep Mozilla relevant? Brazil, Colombia, Hungary, Mexico, Poland, Serbia, Spain and Venezuela will be among the first countries to see phones running Firefox OS. Poland will see Alcatel’s One Touch Fire this summer on Deutsche Telekom, and more eastern European countries will soon follow. Spanish...

Leap Wireless shows the iPhone still can't be popular for low income consumers

Leap Wireless shows the iPhone still can't be popular for low income consumers Hindsight is 20/20, or so they say. This is important for Leap Wireless as it seems on the surface that their failure to sell a no-contract iPhone was a doomed concept from the start. Last year, the company became the first pay-as-you-go carrier to offer the Apple iPhone. Now, they’re on pace to sell half of the iPhones they committed to sell by June. This means they could get stuck with around $100 million in hardware with no way to get ride of them easily. The obvious reason this didn’t work is the target. Pay-as-you-go carriers focus on lower income or poor credit consumers. These consumers are less likely to be interested in the mid- to high-level...
