First off, Windows Phone is not designed as a secondary device you have to keep connecting to your PC at every step. It is an independent computing device of its own. Yes, we are not completely there yet, but the idea is simple - everything is connected together by the cloud, not by USB cables...

Yes, that's pretty much it, my guess is there will be variants such as 928. But the basic internals - screen, processor etc. (EOS/Pureview will have a different camera of course) - will remain unchanged till Windows Phone Blue ships later in the year, probably October, which is when we will see...

Sure, but it is not worth the risk. Better to stick with companies who take quality seriously and have a basic bar for quality control irrespective of the price for the product. If I buy a Nokia dumbphone for Rs. 1000 I am assured of a basic level of quality and assured of prompt after sales...

Don't bother with dual-boot Hackintosh on this machine. There's no driver support for GTX 6xx series on OS X and while there are workarounds be rest assured they are unstable. You are guaranteed to break the OS everytime there's an update. Are you using FCP 7? In that case it is all meaningless...

Atrocious customer service. Far and away the worst I have personally experienced, and also heard others experience. Unfortunately, out of all 4 or 5 people I know who have used a Micromax product, everyone except one has had their devices fail. So, unreliability, check 1, but worse still, the...

Just to clarify, the setup in "desktop mode" is identical to a regular desktop. The tower is replaced by your tablet. Large monitor, proper seating arrangement, full sized keyboard, sensitive mouse - it's all there. The only difference and added benefit is the tablet can act as a secondary input...

Some people can get away with a tablet exclusively, but you need a Windows machine for audio design work and a keyboard for writing. What Windows 8 does is potentially ties desktop, laptop and tablet into a single device. Ideal would be something like an Acer Iconia W700, Surface Pro or Ativ...

The problem lies with the broken US patent system. Apple is simply taking advantage of it, however insidiously. As for Tim Cook trashing AMOLED, Apple has a colourful history of doubling back over the decades, not surprising at all. Recently, remember who said 4 inch phones and 7 inch tablets...

Bump.

I think most people are failing to realize it is not as simple as that. It is not a simple case of Vettel being faster and having the right to disobey team orders. Webber's engines were revved down and he was asked to conserve his machinery. He was reassured twice by the team that Vettel would...

Sending you a PM. But for general info, I don't know cost of repair. Since it is under warranty it should be zero. But it is Micromax, they have bizarre rules for what is and what is out of warranty, so I can't promise anything. That is why I am giving it up for a throwaway price. If you are...

Problem is simple. The tablet works fine with the charger plugged in. Take out the charger and it will power off. Basically the battery does not kick in, I suspect some loose connection inside or so. Hopefully a visit to Micromax service centre should fix it. Apart from that as far as I can tell...

Alonso won last year from the 5th row of the grid as well, IIRC. With rain anything is possible.

Product Name: Micromax Funbook Pro Expected Price: Rs 5000 Description if any: Works perfectly. But only on charger. Read below for details. Product condition: 9 out of 10 (minor scruffs on the back, barely used otherwise) Purchase Date: August 28th 2012 Remaining Warranty period: ~5 months...

Absolutely, Whatsapp is a crazy battery guzzler. I once had a one-hour chat on Whatsapp, it killed the battery by 40%. That's just insane, I could browse internet for more than 5 hours with that! Also, as vivek points out above, even when closed it is a background task which keeps drawing power...

Twin Peaks is my favourite TV show, up there with The Wire and Flying Circus. It is also very unique for a TV show, driven largely by atmosphere and character interactions, than plot/story, so I can understand its limited appeal. Likewise, I know a lot of people who hate David Lynch's movies. If...

That is pretty much it, willing to spend about Rs. 30k. The selection of Windows tablets in India is very poor, so I am hoping there would be some people who might be willing to sell tablets acquired elsewhere. Would also consider a 10 inch Android / Windows RT / iPad if it is in excellent...

The 520 pricing is awesome. For the average person, this is the perfect handset.

I think it is a fairly simple choice - Thinkpad X1 Carbon. Preferably Touch but I don't think that is available in India. With Windows 8 touchscreen laptops are awesome, but office work is one area where touch is not of much use yet, so the non-touch should serve you fine. It might be on the...

Design-wise, I would say 3GS to 4 was more akin to S3 to S4. S2 to S3 was more like 4S to 5.
