I have a strong dislike of the Tories, but I don't pretend that everything they did has been bad (just most of it). They did a lot of the things the Labour party would have done (levels of borrowing etc) but because of their ideological bent, they prioritised the wrong things when overseeing the rec...

Where do you live? Craggy Island?!?!

I'm sure this is high-street related. Nescafé is getting a worldwide rebrand... http://up.metropol247.co.uk/martindtanderson/thumbs/nescafe_logo.png http://up.metropol247.co.uk/martindtanderson/thumbs/nescafe_fb_mug_shape.png http://up.metropol247.co.uk/martindtanderson/thumbs/nescafe_packaging.jpg ...

Wow that's a bit of an exaggeration!

The Moto G in the UK is not very different from a Google Play edition one. Motorola has put minimal customisation and tweaks into it thankfully. I have a SIM-free Moto G for messing about with, as well as my daily driver Lumia 1020 with the Windows Phone 8.1 preview on it.

I think the implication is that they're making the touch side easier to ignore when there is a mouse connected. Certainly the new minimise and close buttons for metro apps are nice. Having avoided it like the plague since my first horrendous 72 hours using windows 8 (resulting in an angry reformat ...

The Update 1 changes do not impact on the Touch UI and interactions, so I hope future changes won't either, unless they are adding new features for touch.

If Microsoft were going to backtrack over the menus/toolbars thing, they'd have done so a long time ago. Windows 8[.1] is the current edition of Windows, and was the first to feature this touch first malarky. They've made it clear that within the lifetime of Windows 8[.1] they will go back and add ...

Why fix something that isn't broken? This is exactly what is happening - they're no longer fixing the broken bits and you're on your own. Exactly, How long should Microsoft be expected to devote resources on maintaining a 13 year old OS. Apple generally only support an OS for maybe 2 or 3 years at ...

Part of the reason why XP hasn't been dropped completely, can be a matter of cost. Old PCs which people are unwilling to replace. For businesses and organisations, they have custom made software which runs on XP, and won't be/can't be updated to work on newer OSs. Office is a relatively expensive pi...
