He is the guy who can turn things around for Microsoft. After all, he's probably the only one outside the company who believes in Microsoft strategy. Nokia shareholders will not mind at all.

The patent filing date shows Jan 5, 2007 as per the link below however Nokia N91 from Q2, 2005 did the exact same thing. http://www.patentbuddy.com/Patent/7912501 http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_n91-1154.php

I'd say office will live and prosper till there's no viable alternative to Excel. There are departments that practically live on it and Google doesn't even try to compete.

Dear Google, It was you who decided Windows 8 and WP8 customer base is too tiny for you to care about so you won't be making any apps for them. Now that somebody has made an app for them using the API's publicly provided by you, you should stop crying. How difficult it is for you to either fix your API or make an app yourself that works the way you want it to.

Providing a cloud service has its costs and a 30% cut is too steep for something that just lists your app. If Apple doesn't listen just increase the price of the service offered through App store by 30% to cover the cost and offer the service at a regular price if the same user decides to visit your website from a PC or a non Apple device.

If only mechanical engineering had some breakthrough that could let us create engines that travel at light speed but sadly even light speed wouldn't be good enough to travel the whole wonderland. I hope we don't end up just looking at all these planets like sour grapes.

my pet peeve with Win 8 start menu. Why can't they just show everything?

Ads might help bring the prices down for Kinect hardware, once its mainstream some version of Adblock for Kinect will come along.

Dear Microsoft, Please step up your game. I will eagerly await Microsoft Browsing Essentials.

This Government has completely lost its mind. They know fairly well they're going out in the next elections but at the speed they're ruining everything 2013 looks so far.

The Govt officials are just looking for bribes. That's why they're calling these company's representatives. Once the representatives come and give them what they need, they would just forget what they said about censoring the web. Sadly, that's how things work in my country.

The real reason Lumia fell flat is that Nokia users can't relate to it. It may be good for iphone/android upgraders but it doesn't offer half the features Nokia/Symbian users are accustomed to. Whether its FM transmitter or USB host, HDMI out or Xenon flash, you name it and Lumia doesn't have it. Sticking an 8mpx camera with a smaller sensor than N8 didn't help matters either.

you can develop on symbian using qt, python and ruby.
