Not So Fast

Misunderstandings abound about the 'Windows Phones' branding. Head's up: Nothing has changed. Nothing.

I guess it's not just the desktop version of Windows that people are confused about these days. But at least this time it's not Microsoft's fault. Over the past few days, a number of news reports have sprung up claiming that Microsoft was getting rid of the Windows Mobile brand and was changing...

Worst blog post ever? Or worst blog ever?

Apple: MobileMe actually works on Windows now. No, really

One of my big complaints about the iPhone and then MobileMe was that Windows/Outlook syncing was horrifically bad and it was painfully clear that the Walt Mossberg/David Pogues of the world had never even tested these products together, not even once. Apparently, neither had Apple. Yesterday, almost...

Office 14: Why has no one noticed this stuff?

I received an interesting IM from Andrew W. this morning who pointed me at some screenshots from Office 14 that came out a while ago. Why, he asked, has some of the info portrayed by these shots not gotten more attention? It's a good question. Here's a typical shot as an example: So. What do...
