Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Miguel Montero clubbed a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning to lift the Arizona Diamondbacks past the Philadelphia Phillies, 3-2, in the second of a four-game set at Chase Field.
Montero, who entered the game 3-for-7 all-time against Phillies reliever Mike Adams (1-3), turned on a first-pitch changeup and crushed it off the foul pole in right field to give the Diamondbacks the decisive 3-2 lead.
"It feels great to help the team. I've been disappointed with myself. I know it is early, but I've had so many opportunities and just haven't gotten it done," Montero said.
Eric Chavez and Martin Prado also drove in one run apiece for Arizona, which saw starter Ian Kennedy give up two runs on six hits over seven innings.
Tony Sipp (2-1) recorded the final two outs of the top of the eighth to earn the win, while David Hernandez stranded runners on second and third in the ninth to pick up his first save of the season.
Jimmy Rollins homered and Domonic Brown also drove in a run for Philadelphia, which has dropped three straight one-run games.
Phillies pitcher Tyler Cloyd, making his first start of the season, gave up two runs on two hits and three walks in 6 1/3 innings. Cloyd was recalled from Triple-A Lehigh Valley on Friday to replace Roy Halladay in the Phillies' rotation.
Halladay was placed on the 15-day disabled list with a right shoulder injury earlier this week.
Rollins opened the game with a homer and Brown singled home Michael Young to give the Phillies a 2-0 lead in the first inning.
Chavez's double in the home half scored Paul Goldschmidt to pull the D'backs within 2-1.
Following Chavez's hit, Cloyd retired 15 of the next 18 batters he faced before giving up a one-out single to Cody Ross in the bottom of the seventh, which spelled the end of his night. Reliever Antonio Bastardo got Jason Kubel to fly out to center, but the ball was deep enough to allow Ross to move to second. Prado followed with a base hit to right to score Ross and tie the game.
The Phillies put runners on second and third with one out in the ninth inning, but Hernandez got pinch-hitter Laynce Nix to pop out before Rollins grounded out to first to end the game.
"We broke through, but we made some mistakes at the same time. We just didn't capitalize on our opportunities," said Phillies manager Charlie Manuel.
D'backs shortstop Didi Gregorius went 0-for-4 and failed to record a hit for
the just the second time in 13 games this season ... Kennedy hasn't earned a
win since April 1 ... The Phillies are 8-11 on the road this season ...
Philadelphia leads the all-time series by a slim 53-52 margin.

Fragmented for months, Syria's opposition is showing signs it may be edging
closer to forging a more united front in its eight-month uprising against the
government of President Bashar Assad.A pact was announced late last week
between the Syrian National Council (SNC), the country's most prominent exiled
opposition group, and the Free Syrian Army (FSA), an umbrella group claiming
leadership of the growing ranks of Syrian army deserters.RELATED:'Post-Assad Syria would drop special Iran ties'Activists: Overnight clash in north Syria kills 15Analysis: Arab sanctions close net on Syria tradeAfter the
meeting, the leaders of the two groups – both based in Turkey – announced they
had reached an understanding that would see the defectors scale back their
sabotage operations and coordinate their actions.Still, questions remain
over the internal cohesion of each organization as well as its inclusiveness –
whether it represents the broad mosaic of Syrian society or narrower sectarian
interests. The Sunni-majority SNC touts its inclusiveness, noting that its
membership includes Christians and Kurds. But in an email to The Jerusalem Post,
a spokesman for the Washington- based Kurdistan National Assembly dismissed
those Kurds in the SNC as "opportunistic.""Yes, there are a few
opportunistic individual Kurdish expats being used as stooges, but the Kurdish
street does not support them – period," he said, adding that the majority of
Syrian Kurds view his own organization and the Syriabased Kurdish National
Council as their legitimate representatives.Critics have also described
the SNC as Islamist-heavy, but one US-based Syrian dissident who supports the
council said both charges – sectarianism and religious fundamentalism – are
overblown."There are a lot of rumors, and many of these stem from the
regime. The SNC leader is Burhan Ghalioun – he's a leftist and he's pretty
powerful," the dissident told the Post on condition of anonymity. "I think the
SNC will give more room for minorities and secular people. We're working now to
strengthen the secular bloc inside the SNC."On Friday Ghalioun told the
Wall Street Journal a post-Assad Syria would cut or curtail the close ties the
country has nurtured for decades with Iran and its Lebanese proxy Hezbollah.
"Our future is truly tied to the Arab world and the Gulf in particular," he
said, dismissing Damascus's bonds with the Islamic Republic as
"abnormal."The dissident said Ghalioun's sentiments resonate widely in
Syria. "Those remarks by the head of the SNC reflect the voices of people on the
Syrian street. We've heard a lot of voices on the street chanting against
Hezbollah, against its chief, Hassan Nasrallah, and against Iran," he said.
"They've said clearly that they don't view Hezbollah or Iran – at least the
current Iranian regime – as our allies. Our allies are the Iranian reformers,
the ones calling for the toppling of the regime."It's not just the SNC
whose character remains elusive.Questions abound too over the Free
Syrian Army. The group announced its presence to the world with a YouTube clip
in July. Since then its men have carried out attacks on government forces and
institutions in all corners of Syria, including a daring mid-November strike on
an air force intelligence base on the outskirts of Damascus that killed at least
six soldiers and wounded 20.The FSA now claims to number 20,000 men.
It's a far cry from the over 200,000 in Syria's regular army, but if the figure
is accurate, the FSA could prove powerful enough to undermine Assad's rule for
many months to come.FSA leaders acknowledge that many of the defectors
in its ranks are Sunni conscripts.But an SNC spokeswoman at last week's
meeting said she had been assured the FSA is "a national army, not a sectarian
army" that would "protect the country from chaos once the regime
falls."The FSA's main base is in Hatay, a finger of a province jutting
from southern Turkey into Syria's northwest shoulder.Most of Hatay's
inhabitants are Arabic speakers – about half of them from Assad's Alawite sect –
and Syria has long claimed the coastal area as its own.That both the
Syrian National Council and Free Syrian Army are based in Turkey is itself
significant. In recent years Turkey adroitly cultivated ties with Syrian
opposition groups even while it courted its southern neighbor
diplomatically.The tone began to change this summer, as the tide of
international opinion took a decisive turn against Syria and it became clear
that maintaining neighborly relations was a liability. In June Turkish premier
Recep Tayyip Erdogan lashed out at his former ally, slamming the "savagery" of
the ongoing counterinsurgency.Amid the tumult, the Assad regime
continues to respond with a clumsy mix of indignation and an insistence on
business as usual. On Sunday its English-language SANA news agency ran stories
on farming subsidies and a large Christmas tree lit up to honor unspecified
"martyrs" in the coastal city of Tartus.Over the weekend the agency ran
a news analysis decrying Arab League sanctions against Damascus. "The Turkish
political analyst Barakat Tar regretted that the Arab League, which has never
made a decision condemning the Zionist occupation of Palestine, agreed today to
punish a founding member through a set of sanctions, which Turkey based on [sic]
and exploited to exert more pressures on Syria," wrote the article's two
writers, identified only by their last names, Raslan and Ibrahim. "Tar said the
people of the region should be united in the face of the Israeli-American scheme
to occupy Syria, Lebanon and Iran," they wrote."Former Egyptian MP Jamal
Asa'ad said what is taking place in Syria constitutes a part of the
Zionist-American project which aims at fragmenting the region," the article
said. It quoted Syria's ambassador to Lebanon, Ali Abdel Kareem, as concluding
that Syria is being punished "because it is the supporter of all liberation
movements in Iraq and Lebanon against the Israeli and US ambitions in the

Liverpool 2 Oldham Athletic 0: Fringe players crucial for successful FA Cup run, claims Brendan Rodgers
Rodgers also hopes that Iago Aspas's debut goal for the Reds will fill him with confidence for future appearances
Monday 06 January 2014
Brendan Rodgers admits his whole Liverpool squad will need to play a part in the rest of the season after seeing striker Iago Aspas open his account in the FA Cup.
Aspas, a summer signing from Celta Vigo, finally broke his Reds duck at the 11th time of asking with a hooked half-volley in a 2-0 third-round win over Oldham at Anfield as Rodgers entrusted his fringe players with righting the wrongs of last year's loss at Boundary Park.
However, it was far from plain sailing for the hosts and Lucas Leiva, Philippe Coutinho and 20-goal forward Luis Suarez were all summoned from the substitutes' bench to seal their progress, which was confirmed thanks to James Tarkowski's late own goal.
The likes of Aspas, Luis Alberto and Victor Moses were given chances to impress from the start, but a flat first 45 minutes provided little evidence of great strength in depth amongst Rodgers' ranks.
"They have to contribute - I can't rely on 11, 12 players," said the Liverpool manager.
"(Goalkeeper) Brad Jones coming in was excellent, Brad's been a really loyal number two. He didn't have much to do, but what he did do with his hands was clean and his distribution was very good.
"Iago - it's important for his confidence. It's been difficult when you have a world-class striker playing week in, week out and getting goals. Then you've got Daniel Sturridge supporting, so he's been the cover player a lot of this season apart form the opening period.
"It was good for him to get his goal in front of the Kop and hopefully that'll give him a little bit of confidence."
Perhaps mindful of last season's exit at the hands of the same opponent, Rodgers called for the cavalry at half-time by introducing Lucas and Coutinho, while Suarez's late cameo was a sign his plan A did not quite materalise.
Rodgers added: "You hope in a game like this to rest a number of players.
"Obviously Lucas and Coutinho have played all of the Christmas period, hard games, so the ideal scenario would have been to let them recover. But we also wanted to win the game, we didn't want a replay. Second half we were more lively in our game and ended up with a good victory."
It was Oldham's third FA Cup meeting with Liverpool in as many years, but the Anfield experience was a new one for both boss Lee Johnson and many of his young charges.
"That will build the learning process and make them better players in the long run," said Johnson, who at 32 is the Football League's youngest manager.
"It's so young, this group, and every little bit of experience like this we can grab on to. They'll only get better."

All is Not Well Between Aishwarya Rai and Jaya Bachchan?
- Order Reprints

By Ankita Mehta | February 21, 2014 6:39 PM EST
Reports of alleged tiff between Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan has become hot gossip now.
Varinder Chawla
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan attend Rehana Ghai's birthday bash
Speculations about the alleged rift between the saas-bahu jodi of Bachchan family has been doing the round for quite some time, and according to the latest rumours, the disagreement between the Bachchan bahus' has increased rapidly.
Earlier, Aishwarya Rai and Jaya slammed these reports by appearing together at any party or event. Recently at Ahaana Deol's wedding reception Amitabh Bachchan, along with wife Jaya, son Abhishek and daughter-in-law Aishwarya Rai arrived together and even posed for photographers.
However, if the latest rumours are to be trusted, Aishwarya Rai and Jaya have brought their not so friendly relationship to the forefront.
The duo apparently avoided each other at the birthday party of Kokilaben Ambani, according to Zoom.
The whole Bachchan family attended the birthday bash in Mumbai. Though Bachchans arrived at the party together, the saas bahu Jodi avoided each other later on.
Zoom quoting sources also reported that "the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not on talking terms and even on social occasions they choose to ignore each other."
The rumours of tiff between the saas-bahu started last year, when a report claimed that Aishwarya wanted to move out of the family home as she was not happy with Jaya interfering in her life.
However, Abhishek cleared the reports calling it rubbish. Even after that, the whole Bachchan family visited Bhopal to attend the wedding of Jaya's sister son.

RIM shares drop as head of global sales quits company
Shares of Research In Motion were down about three per cent in Thursday morning trading after the BlackBerry maker's head of global sales resigned.

TORONTO — Shares of Research In Motion were down about three per cent in Thursday morning trading after the BlackBerry maker's head of global sales resigned.
A spokeswoman for the company confirmed that Patrick Spence has left his role after holding various positions at the company for the past 14 years.
"Patrick will be taking on a leadership position in a different industry," said Tenille Kennedy in a prepared e-mail statement.
RIM's stock was off 33 cents to $11.04 in morning trading on the Toronto Stock Exchange.
Spence had a hand in the launch of RIM's early pager devices and later the BlackBerry's meteoric rise to one of the world's best-selling smartphones.
Before being promoted to the global sales position last July he was a managing director for Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
He leaves his position at RIM as the company heads into the crucial period leading up to the launch of its new line of smartphones later this year.
Spence's exit also follows the appointment of two veterans from the mobile computing industry earlier this month.
Former Sony Mobile Communications executive Kristian Tear takes the role of chief operating officer this summer, and will also handle the sales responsibilities, Kennedy said.
In the meantime, chief executive Thorsten Heins will handle the sales role.
Frank Boulben will become RIM's chief marketing officer after working as executive vice-president of strategy, marketing and sales for LightSquared.

'Care guides' show another face of health reform
Dr. Richard Adair insisted that they spell it out clearly when the jobs were first posted: No experience required. The idea was to hire people with no medical background, give them two weeks of training, and send them off to clinics to start seeing patients. Five years later, these so-called "care guides" are fixtures at more than two dozen Allina Health clinics in the Twin Cities, and groups around the country are calling to find out how the concept works. The guides are part of a fast-growing, and hotly debated, trend in medicine: Putting people with minimal (if any) medical expertise on the front lines — with titles like patient navigator or coach — to help improve care, and rein in the costs, of patients with chronic illnesses

Microsoft Surface RT Review: This Thing Confuses Me
33 responses
>>>We've got two instances of IE. One on the desktop and one in Metro.
Do they each have separate settings? What if you want to clear cache, etc — do you have to do it both in Metro *and* Desktop?
Wow!!!! Warner, I have always valued your opinions. Thank you. If this thing confuses you, how is the average Joe suppose to figure it out. This is bad news for Microsoft!
Very interesting. I think what is confusing about the Surface it's it's laptop soul. It's a bit jarring seeing regedit or PowerShell in a tablet but I'm sure lots of people like me will love to have that option.
This is not a toy like the iPad, that's for sure,
Personally I love my Surface. Have only been to the desktop twice. Once to run Windows update, and another time to check out the new office after updating. The Metro is very nice indeed on a tablet, and the hardware is to die for. One comment on this article though… the Netflix app DOES have a search function. It's the same search function that every other Metro app has access to, and it works.
Good to know about the Neflix App Search function. Thanks for adding that in.
bummer. was hoping for better inking…
Hitler's thoughts on Windows 8:
I believe the inking experience should be much improved on the Surface Pro, which is what I'm holding out for.
My own experiences with Surface RT over the past few days is strongly in simpatico with this review – I'm a former Softie and did have some higher expectations of this device given the verbiage that preceded it
I totally agree with the notion of the "duality" in the platform – to me, it feels not just disjointed but rather cynical in motivation, in the same way Windows 95 was in reality just a front-end on top of DOS. I realize it's a sweeping comparison, but that's how it /feels/.
There was a big opportunity for Microsoft to impress with a device that would be the "glue" between XBox and other Windows devices in a consumer home. It's early days, but it takes a real apologist to not acknowledge that they missed the mark in a lot of critical ways that call into question whether the Pro version will be that much better.
One thing not mentioned here are the poor quality 1 megapixel cameras that no amount of post-processing can improve, along with the curious inability to directly share photos from the camera app. Image files are sent directly to your Photos library, so they can't be shared at the point of capture (the "share" charm just rebuffs you with a message that there's nothing to share). When you try to share the images from the library, you're told that you can't share from the desktop. You need to manually upload the images to your SkyDrive.
To me, a no-brainer killer app would have been a slick camera that would automagically synchronize with SkyDrive, given all the hype that's Microsoft has plowed into cloud this, cloud that, cloud the other.
I've been a windows tablet user for years, and I don't find surface RT to be the least bit confusing or mystifying. I was planning to hold out for a Pro model to get inking and to be able to run VBA-enabled office projects, but I couldn't resists trying the RT model out, and I now don't know if I will bother with the Pro.
First off: If it weren't for the "disjointed" existence of the old-school desktop, this device would lose a lot of its attractiveness. Unfortunately, some of us need to work in the real world of browsers and spreadsheets and word processors, and having them side-by-side or easily swappable in an old-school desktop means productivity is nearly at laptop level for when you need it. (Something you can't say about any other tablet.) Ditto the ability to navigate a home network and move piles of files from machine to machine or NAS. As much as I love the metro interface, and as much as the snapscreen is an improvement over the one-or-none choices from an iPad, it still wouldn't be good enough to get work done. The regular desktop is there when you need it, familiar and fast, and gone with a single swipe or key click. Nothing confusing about it.
The synchronization between Microsoft cloud and other windows machines is very robust and even uncanny. (The surface figured out that my home PC's "pictures" library was a big NAS full of images, and it started cataloging them immediately.) Xbox started music matching on my surface, gleening information from I know not where — perhaps the play history on the abovementioned computer. I was then allowed to download from the Xbox music store titles I already own and had played on my Windows phone and/or zune desktop software. This thing also found my Xbox (and streamed a video from my network, back over the network to the Xbox, as a test). Heck, it even found my internet-connected Samsung TV in the basement. I had no idea it could do that.
I work a lot with sharepoint documents on a work server and the RT machine works perfectly with those, and after I opened one document from the remote site, Office remembered that location so I wouldn't have to visit the browser again to get documents from its libraries. This is a big deal and a great productivity booster. The office products included are as full function as 99% of office users could need. (I'll miss my VBA code on this machine, but you can't have everything… yet)
I was surprised to find "inking" available as input and in OneNote. Both are pretty snappy and work well with a finger — much worse with the spongy pen from my wife's iPad. The inked remarks I put in One-Note were fully searchable in the usual ways, meaning another strike for me against springing for the Pro later on. No, it's not the digitizer pen on my lenovo convertible, but it's a decent little perk and again, something you won't get elsewhere.
I find the metro aps very snappy. When anyone complains about load times, I wonder if mine came with superchip or something. I don't experience loads of anything more than a second or two. The pictures hub is great, bringing in Flickr images, something the Windows Phone photo hub should do. One thing it misses (that WP includes) is people tagging, which should be added pronto. I'm used to Windows Phone mail and I find the included program in need of a few tweaks — perhaps moving to a checkbox-type function like on the phone rather than a swipe-right to highlight. On the plus side, the mail app grabbed my hotmail, gmail, and work exchange accounts without a single hitch, mail, calendars and contacts. It also shuffled in linkedIn, Twitter, and Facebook contacts as seamlessly as does Windows phone, linking entries so you don't get a pile of dupes. The contacts screen is clean and useful, with instant-link mapping, quick buttons for video calls and messaging and more, plus social updates, all at your fingertips from a contact screen. Again, no one else has this level of clean integration. Those yearning for Outlook, well, I don't get that. I'm moving further and further away from outlook and hoping never to look back.
I have no sympathy for complaints about the camera. They're perfectly adequate for video calling, which is what they're intended for. (I do wish that Microsoft messenger system on this platform supported video calling in addition to the integrated Skype calling, as there are some folks on messenger who aren't on skype, believe it or not…) Back to photos — once the still have been run through the obligatory and cheesy hipster effects that make them art, they'll look as bad as what everyone else uploads.(A retired photographer, I carry a real camera with me at all times, since that's what real photos require.)
While we're on that subject, how many tablets can you stick a memory card into (or a USB reader) in order to offload photos mid-safari? The Surface RT prompted me for import perfectly, and when I went to the pictures folder to move the RAW files I shoot in by hand, I found out that Windows RT hadn't skipped them, as I suspected it would, but instead had dropped them into the same folder as the jpegs. Then, it was a beyond-simple matter for me to send the images directly to my NAS. (Simpler yet would have been if I could have added an automated move routine started on another machine, but the homegroup capabilities on RT don't allow network sharing from the outside in.)
The experience hasn't been perfect. Mine dropped WiFi fairly often, a situation I remedied by telling my router to change keys less often. This networking challenge was outweighed by the flawless discovery of my horrible network printer (a Brother) and the flawless printing of a web coupon I needed. There are some *great* advantages to having this thing built on the bones of older windows.
Throw in the gorgeous applications — the Bing weather and Finance apps are useful eye candy — and the growing number of them (and they will grow, because by the end of the first week of Windows 8, there will probably be upward of 10 million target consumers for developers to target) and Surface tablets will only get better.
Having been in Windows Phone 7 since day one, I saw how dedicated Microsoft was to improving the native apps and that ecosystem, and I believe we'll see the same here. Don't hate this because it's not what you're used to or what you expected. See what it can do that other tablet can't, and appreciate that.
Warner I'm surprised, you and several of the folks I've followed since the Tablet-PC and UMPC days have had similar feedback, or outright skipped the Surface.
My experience was closer to Steve's than yours, I'm really enjoying this thing. the integration to SkyDrive, Exchange, and SharePoint is huge for utilizing it as more of a productivity tool at work, than my iPad, or HTC Flyer, Nook Color, or Galaxy Tab could have ever been.
I will give you the disappointment over active digitizer, but I'm pretty sure with a bit more practice I will be able to type faster on the touch keyboard than I can write.
I do have some annoyance with the quality of some of the apps, but agree with others, that with Win 8 rolling out that's poised to changed (more so than it has been to date for WinPhone). My biggest app complaint is Mail, more Outlook capabilities (categories, smart folders) should be included, or Outlook should have been included in the desktop.
RossWirth and steve,
I'm glad you guys are having a better experience than I seem to be with the Surface RT. Like all things mobile it really is going to be a different experience based on different users, their needs and expectations.
I do not know what to tell you. The update failure is something to be worry about. I would recommend to reset to factory settings and try to update it again. If you do not do that you will be suffering the whole time. The inking experience using the keyboard is not good but it's the worse I have seen. About the rest, I'm enjoying mine like I have not done since the UMPC time. I gave my iPad to my wife and using the Surface as full time and main PC at home.
Oh, and mine passes the whole time the pinky test. The only times when I had experienced some lack of performance is when using the metro IE and I hade many pages opened some of them heavy in adds. I also found that if I use the option to be opened in the full version everything works fine there.
Warner, to close an app in Windows 8 swipe down from the top bezel to the bottom bezel in one fluent motion. It works 100% of the time. The trick is to swipe from the top bezel and just keep swiping until you hit the bottom. Quick and -once you get the hang of it- easy.
I returned my Surface RT today – I was the 3rd person in a 30 minute window for the local pop-up store doing so, and definitely not the first or last. A lot of unhappy Microsoft fans bringing the devices back, all with similar grievances as enumerated so far. The bloke who was in front of me in the returns line and I shared our experiences with the staff who patiently took them down (albeit on stickies).
Common refrain: Should have launched with Surface Pro – RT too crippled and bizarre.
I'll wait for Pro in New Year and decide if it should get my $1000 CDN, or just upgrade my laptop and be done with it at that point.
so far all cases of people returning it are those who bought it without fully understanding the differences between WinRT and Windows full version. let me put it in simple words. WinRT is a version of Windows with limits in what can be done on it. less limits than in an iPad (in which applications are all time filling those holes or going around the limits). By January these firsts weeks will be a thing in the past because of the new applications currently being release daily.
I and the other people that I spoke with in line understood that there'd be shortcomings, but weren't prepared for how many and how extensive. And to be clear: They're not all software, they're hardware related, too. The customers covered a cross section of occupations, as well: Students, consultants, etc so everyone had different expectations and desires from the unit. We were of the same opinion that the device didn't feel "ready" for prime time and certainly didn't jive with the expectations that were set by Microsoft.
However: I get your drift. If there was one other common sentiment between us all as we dropped our units off, it was feeling a bit like suckers.
There is nothing to be a shame of. This device is just not for you and the PRO is it. If I could I would have bought both. But I can't so I went with the RT. Why? Because here is where all the fun is going to be. The PRO is just one more PC with a new OS. I love the feeling of finding new stuff every day and see the improvement.
The other thing was the processor, I do not want anything with fans or dealing with heat issues. The PRO could have these issues.
So far, in the majority of the cases all issues are software and that's fixable. I myself have not found hardware issues. The speaker volume is ok for me. My WiFi works fine. I do not know of any other complains.
So let me get this straight… most of you returned your surfaces because you had no clue what Windows RT was before you paid hundreds of dollars and that you were ignorant to the face that you could only run Metro apps?
This thing is absolutely no different to the iPad when it launched in that regard. You couldn't run Mac OS X apps on it… and the number of apps available at launch was limited. How is the surface any different? In fact the Windows 8 app store actually had MORE apps in it at launch than the Apple app store did at launch (talking about iPad apps here, not iPhone stretch iPhone apps)..
How is wilful ignorance on your part a fault of Microsoft or the Surface?
Also what are these mythical hardware issues you speak of? You seem to have failed to mention a single one. Personally I think the hardware is very very nice. The engineering on the casing, the keyboard, the hinge and pretty much everything else is top notch.
I agree the software is a little flaky in places, but a few patches will sort the glitches out. This is certainly no worse than any other platform on release.
Curious strategy of blaming the consumer for being rubes – best you don't pursue a career in marketing or public relations.
Here are the hardware issues – a collection of oddities, inconsistencies and downright bad UEX/UI behaviours that distract from what should have been a much more "complete" tablet from Microsoft. I and the other returners discussed these items with the staff at the store for about 15 minutes while they wrote them down. Feedback is ostensibly going to Redmond.
Re: iPad1 had certain limitations on launch – granted, but this late 2012, not early 2010. Precedents have been established in the market, and consumers have performance expectations from competitive offerings.
In no particular order:
1) Embedded digital compass yet no GPS – no-one could figure out the relevancy of knowing what direction you're pointing in yet having no idea where you were.
2) 1MP cameras on front AND back. Universal disappointment in the quality of photos the device takes, especially given most cellphones have at least 5MP. We'd all have settled for 3-4MP as a sop.
3) Speakers – the group was divided on this: Everyone agreed they were too low, too muffled but this wasn't a deal-breaker. It was noted that other tablets have more decent volume.
4) Touch interface inconsistencies: Everyone reported issues with getting pinpoint touch gestures to work, eg. clicking on web page or app UI elements – to the point where you needed to click several times over, producing unintended actions. Especially true for Office 2013 apps.
5) Touch keyboard – issues here could most likely be alleviated by ponying up for the upgraded keyboard. Number one problem was the location of the mouse buttons in relationship to the touchpad: It's difficult to make solid presses (slips off) so clicking and dragging becomes a rather frustrating cat & mouse game.
6) Display flickering: Half the group reported this when swiping the surface left to right. Not known whether this is due to the ambient light sensor or the ambient light conditions.
7) Only a few of us (me included) knew there was a MicroSD slot for expanding the memory – I was the only one who actually put one in and it was very awkward.
8) Only half the group reported WiFi drops. I had this occur once and it was before downloading the updates. Don't know if they're related or not.
9) Bizarre proprietary power connector; everyone likes the magnetic connection, but it takes effort to properly seat, and it's prone to popping out when using device while charging.
Surface RT Software Issues
Everyone had their units for about a week, so they put them through their paces, some more than others. Again, in no particular order:
1) Two versions of IE – why? Most noticed this; it's an inconsistent experience: From the "Start" screen, it's crippled; from the "Desktop" it's more fully-featured. With the caveats that some Flash sites won't work. Definitely an incongruous experience when it comes to working with Office apps – eg. you want to clip a website into OneNote but, d'oh! You're using the "Surface" side IE. Gotta cut & paste the URL, go to the desktop, etc.
2) Can't work with PDFs out of the box – getting a PDF into OneNote is especially tricky, which a student related. Not a deal-breaker, but a definite annoyance.
3) Virtual keyboard experience is different depending on which "personality" you're working with: On "Start", it's automagic. On "Desktop", it's hide-and-seek, tending to pop up and get in the way.
4) Poor UI/UEX cues to tell you how to use apps and OS features – mostly non-existent. This should be a friendly experience to woo new customers and wow the disillusioned veterans.
5) Everyone had issues with the email app. It works, that's not the point. It's how it works. For example, rotate the Surface and try using it in portrait mode. It's puzzling that you can get a better experience with Hotmail/Live and OWA – this seemed like an easy win.
6) Everyone understood the lack of apps in the store and the quality: It's early days.
7) No AD integration – yes, it's been touted ahead of launch, but it's still bizarre. It makes the Surface RT the ugly red-headed stepchild of devices.
8) No SkyDrive integration from the Desktop as you can with Win7; given that you need to spend time on the Desktop working with Office Files, it's odd to force the user to go to the Start screen to manage their files.
9) The rationale for the Desktop and Windows Explorer was questioned openly, given you can't use the Share charm on files nor move them easily into SkyDrive.
10) Even with the updates, the Office Apps performed sluggishly. I was the only one informed enough to point out that the Office and Surface teams were segregated until the last irresponsible moment, hence the discontinuity and the patch barely getting out in time.
11) Two of us noted how Surface RT feels like the modern version of Windows 95 – bolted on-top and not well-integrated. No one disputes how nice it looks and how much they wanted to use it – just the fit & finish.
These are the ones I can recall being most top of mind for everyone.
Do note: Everyone was, by their admission, Microsoft users and very pro on the Surface RT. Everyone agreed that they could probably have overlooked a lot of the issues if it were priced lower. Those of us who had XBox 360s really liked the integration story there and how well it was executed. Each of us had different play/work profiles, that we wanted to use the device for, yet universal disappointment.
In short, it was a well-informed/rounded group of people that should have been easy soft lobs to buy and enjoy this device.
You might take issue with the points I've raised here, and again try to blame the consumer for "imagining things" or being too fussy or just not agreeing to overlook the cynicism with which it /feels/ it's been offered.
I think with just a little more thought & care a lot of these issues could have been avoided and there wouldn't be a need to have asterisks on the features. Do a few things really well to establish the Microsoft brand on the tablet experience.
Unfortunately, Surface RT feels compromised in its execution. A lot like the Zune was.
Could you filter your post and show us the hardware issues? Beside the speakers not being loud and some WiFi issues? The rest seems to me issues with UI. Once again, bought RT and W8 expecting to see and use it as it was W7.
One more thing, MS was not committed to Zune as it's now with Surface. Just show me a publicity video of MS about Zune ;-)
Chris, do not buy the PRO, you will be disappointed too. You better go with something still running W7, Android which is a copy of the iOS UI, or better wait for a year when the Windows Store will have 1000s of Apps there and every single software issue has been patched. This is my honest advise to you after reading all your comments.
I hear your cautions and I'm considering just upgrading to a Win8 laptop vs. the Pro given the higher pricepoint which will be beyond an iPad4. I appreciate everything you're saying.
But I do still forcefully argue that the overall experience is very much in-line with the author's – split and not well integrated. It could be argued this is a "feature" – but it really shouldn't be.
Hardware in a nutshell: Poor rear-facing camera/picture quality, irrelevant digital compass, no GPS, bad pointer tracking from touching the screen, mouse on Touch keyboard poorly positioned/too small; awkward MicroSD slot that's almost invisible; laggy feel of app performance, esp. w. Office 2013 even w. updates. Forgot one other: Odd aiming angle of the front camera leading to rather "dramatic" shots when using the kickstand – when in frame.
I can't agree with the notion of "buying RT and Win8″ and wrongly expecting it to work as Win7. None of us went in thinking this was a Win7 laptop replacement, but we did go in expecting the integration and fit & finish story to be better because our expectations had been set by Microsoft's own publicity, leaks and advance media stories. Bad on us for not being more skeptical.
More to the point, however, was Ballmer's own comments: "This is the tablet consumers want." He's absolutely right on the money with the expectations: We want a scaled-down, Microsoft laptop that unifies our investments and gives us the solid experience that's been advanced by Win7 and XBox360 and XBox Live and SkyDrive and O365. We wanted a fun competitor to iPad that wasn't a clone, but something that stood up well nonetheless, especially for the price.
We're just not getting that with this device, and it seems like the Pro will only hit part of this mark. I'm not alone here – there's a growing discontent that can't be explained away. And as an old adage goes, when you're explaining, you're losing.
Re: GPS is used for more than just navigation – geo-location of photos is a good example, so is proximity sharing of data. But, let's agree here: Why include a digital compass, then?
Re: Cameras – We all questioned the REAR camera, not the FRONT. Agreed that you don't need high res for Skype chats. Taking photos off the back, well – if you're going to phone it in with 1MP, why bother? Save the money, cut it out.
Re: 3G Not a big thing for many of us as we either use the WiFi or have hotspots. Getting yet another dataplan wasn't interesting to anyone, especially because we have some of the highest cellular rates in the world here in Canada, and we tend to lag behind in decent coverage beyond metropolitan centres.
Re: Market research: Disagree. Compromises are always a reality with bringing a device to market – I and others get this. That said, it /feels/ like Microsoft was convincing themselves and not their market that this was a good balance. In retrospect, the downplaying of RT as an iPad competitor should have been a clue. And again, disappointing that the integration story wasn't as complete as it could have been,
No GPS, could you give me any statistics of how many users use their iPad as navigation device? The fact is that it's to big for that use and the screen performs poorly under sun. So why to include one knowing all that.
More MB in both cameras. For Skype few MB are ok. I have seen very few cases of people using the iPad as video camera. It's too big, again only practical indoor, poor zoon, no enough space on it for long videos. Tablets are not video cameras, period. So why waste more money putting a high MB cameras on them.
Thanks god you did not mention the lack of 3G.
Microsoft simply has included in Surface what's really needed and really used in Tablets. They did a good market research this time.
Chris, the rest of your hardware issues are in fact issues of taste. I like the fact that the MicroSD card is so hidden. I use it as an HDD extension and removing it accidentally could result in unpredictable consequences. The same applies to the mouse in the touch keyboard. The fact that you do not like the design does not means that those are hardware issues.
The other issues mentioned, like the Office's, those are software issues that could be resolved.
Re: Taste vs. "Real" issues. Again, poor strategy to blame the customers – I and others have observed these as issues that affect the usability of the device. They aren't invalidated by your disagreement or indeed anyone else's. When you do usability testing, you pay especially close attention to these things.
Certainly the staff at the Microsoft Store were *very* interested in sitting down with us and getting our feedback – they were primed for it and were really patient. That was the most stellar customer experience I've ever had returning a product! I felt validated as a customer, which keeps me loyal.
Re: MicroSD – Hiding the slot to the point where it's invisible and requires Google searches to find is poor UEX. It could have been remedied with a simple embossed highlighted dot or arrow and moving it down from the kickstand hinge so many different finger types could use it.
The compass comes from the same chips used for geolocation using the WiFi, etc. But GPS you only gets it including the 3G chip. So one thing you got it for free, the other you need to add more stuff to get it. About the back camera I agree, they added because the iPad has it. It should have been eliminated.
About your comments about the market research, again I think that's a matter of taste. I believe that they did a good job.
BTW, Microsoft employees have been instructed to hear any type of complains and do not try to convince anyone of being wrong. Those are marketing rules. The last thing you need is a confrontation in a store.
There is not point in continuing this discussion. I just hope that take my advise and stay away from Surface, no matter what version at least until some new patches are released and the Apps number reached few 100000s.
I agree; no ill will here: I appreciate the rigour with which you've tested my assertions, especially given we don't know each other from Adam, nor who we know or what we've done in our professional careers.
I'll read everything you have wrote with the biggest attention, even when I disagree with what you are saying, and will defend your right to say it ;-)
Offending or diminishing anyone is not a tactic that I ever use. I take your opinion seriously and I respect it. My objective is to help no anything else.
I cannot for the life of me figure out how to email an attachment from Surface RT. Is it even possible? The biggest draw for me is the ability to work with MS Office apps, but if there is no way to email a word document that I edited to a colleague, it is a non-starter. Am I missing something? When I try to "Share" an office document via email I am given an error message saying there is no "Mail" app configured. What's up with that? I can live without Outlook, but not being able to attach a document is laughable. Please tell me I am missing something here.
Nevermind, I figured it out. Sorry for the rant. ;) Just need to get used to the new ways of doing things. You can attach documents by swiping from the bottom when composing an email and selecting "Attachments". Seems so obvious now. My bad.
I can't stand this thing! I'm sending my Surface RT back to Microsoft – just got an RMA

A ROW has broken out between local political parties over tactics used in the recent council elections.
Representatives from the Conservative, Labour and Green parties, along with an independent candidate, have issued a statement claiming the Liberal Democrats used 'blatant attempts' to 'mislead' the public during the build-up to the elections in May.
But a spokesman for the local Lib Dems hit back that it was more concerned with working and fighting for local people than 'trying to score political points'.
- Axed Lakes bus service given last minute reprieve thanks to town councillors
- Police investigate racist graffiti sprayed on wall of Kendal Scout hut
- Tell me your views, says Cumbria's Police and Crime Commissioner
- Oxenholme Station in line for improvements
The row broke out after a statement was released by James Airey, of Westmorland and Lonsdale Conservative Party, Paul Braithwaite, of the local Labour Party, Gwen Harrison, of Kendal Green Party, and Rob Boden, an independent candidate in Kendal.
They criticised the Liberal Democrats for sending out leaflets which suggested the election of Liberal Democrat councillors was essential for 'protecting our hospital'.
"Nowhere was it explained to voters that district councillors (and town/parish councillors) do not have the power to decide the future of Westmorland General Hospital," said the statement.
"Such a blatant and serious attempt to mis-lead the electorate by the Liberal Democrats canot go unchallenged and for this reason our three local parties have taken this unprecedented step."
But a spokesperson for the Westmorland Liberal Democrats responded: "The council has a key role in shaping our communities, as a member of the council sits on key health committees.
"So rather than trying to score political points, the Lib Dems will keep working and fighting for Westmorland General, like we always have."
The elections were held on May 23, when local people took to the polls to elect 17 candidates to the 51-seat South Lakeland District Council, as well as vote on town and parish councils.
The Lib Dems held 14 of the 17 seats on SLDC – and Coun Peter Thornton, SLDC Lib Dem leader, said his party had led the charge to protect services while others were 'conspicuous by their absence'.
He added: "If they'd thought about putting some policies forward, rather than simply attacking the Lib Dems, they might have done better."

Dusty, voiced by Dane Cook, in "Planes: Fire & Rescue."
Photo: Disney,
1 There's a cheerful simplicity about the animated "Planes: Fire & Rescue." The high-flying new Disney cartoon feels like a junior varsity spinoff of "Cars." The story continues the adventures of Dusty Crophopper (voiced by Dane Cook), hero of last year's "Planes." The onetime crop duster turned aerial race champ has developed a gearbox problem that sidelines him from high-speed competition. Rather than feeling sorry for himself, he joins a crew of vehicles fighting forest fires in a Yosemite-like national park. Here he faces the challenges of a kid fitting in at a new grade school.
2 Are they roadhouse blues, Southern boogie-woogie, Dixieland jazz or New Orleans brass and funk? Twin Cities club stalwarts Davina & the Vagabonds can answer "Yes" to any of those now with their first album in three years, "Sunshine." Purr-to-roar frontwoman Davina Sowers pulls off a soaring Aretha Franklin moment ("I'd Rather Drink Muddy Water") and a serene Patty Griffin cover ("Heavenly Day"), and her heavily road-tested band goes full-steam in fun originals such as "Better Start Praying."
3 "Boyhood" fills you with openhearted happiness and awe at its scope and daring. It's a low-key masterpiece, a wistful comedy that never forgets to keep genuine emotions foremost. Director Richard Linklater's domestic epic looks at the common things in life in an uncommon way. It traces the youth of a good suburban Texas child over the course of 12 years: from a dreamy tadpole first-grader to a lanky college freshman. Actor Ellar Coltrane shows exceptional promise. This film moves you to laugh, to think and, best of all, to feel.
5 If you haven't been to the Bakken Museum in Minneapolis in a while, here's a great reason to visit: a new solar-powered electronic sound sculpture dubbed "solarsonicinfinitysystem," built and programmed by four inventive high school students (Sam Aronson, Scout Lindberg, Simon Rothman and Nina Sokol) with assists from a couple of adults. The sculpture will be making its zipping, bopping, whirring noises inspired by sound patterns found in nature through Saturday on the Bakken's green roof. thebakken.org
4 In "Travels With Casey," New York Times Magazine writer Benoit Denizet-Lewis sets off in an RV with his yellow Lab mix, Casey, to explore America and understand its devotion to dogs. Denizet-Lewis is no John Steinbeck, and his trip was planned within an inch of its life (he visits the Westminster dog show, a famous dog photographer, dog shelters and dog parks, and a bed-and-breakfast shaped like a beagle), but it's still a pleasant, if not wise, read. There are a few surprises: He falls in love, has his heart broken, has an epiphany at a truck stop off the Ohio Turnpike and comes home with twice as many dogs as he left with.

Flying Lab Software today announced the feature list for Power & Prestige, the upcoming expansion for their Pirates of the Burning Sea MMORPG. The expansion, the first for the historical high seas title that originally set sail in 2008, is due to be released this summer.
Power & Prestige looks to build upon the game's Conquest system by allowing players to become Port Governors and wield significant strategic and economic influence over the game world. Additionally, the expansion will have over 60 new missions, four new Privateer factions, and a bevy of tweaks to combat gameplay.
For starters, Avatar Combat skills are being overhauled by moving Brawling into its own fighting school. Additionally, every ship in the game is being revamped, including tweaks designed to offset outfitting stacking. Finally, each of the game's five career paths will receive some love in the form of new skills and additional tactical play options.
Check out the official Pirates of the Burning Sea website for more details on the game, and be sure to sign up for the expansion beta, currently slated for Spring 2010.

Too beautiful for words!!! Walkable from our Fairmont Queen Elizabeth Hotel as are so many wonderful places to visit while in Montreal.
The church is not far from the Marche Bonsecours and worth taking the time to visit. It is not as grand as the Basilique Notre Dame down the road, but is beautiful nonetheless. The church pays homage to the seafarers of old with the boat lighting throughout the church. It has a long and interesting history.
The basilica is very nice and one can spend a few hours there admiring the paintings and the history but thats it.
Well worth the visit to see the beauty and architecture and to learn some of the history of the Chapel.
While nearby Notre Dame basilica gets all the attention and crowds, this small chapel, one of earliest churches to still be functioning, is the one with all the history. A visit to this place doesn't take long, just a few steps from Marche Bonsecours. It is a nice quiet breather from the tourist crowds outside.
Not just the church, but the surroundings are fantastic. Awesome place to walk and people watch. The cathedral itself is beautiful and the artwork fantastic. Try to get a walking tour. There is much about this that you can only hear about on the tour.
An old-world style cathedral with a first rate organ and chorus. Hit High Mass on Sundays at 11 am for the full treatment. Atop Vieux Montreal, it makes a great focal point for a day exploring. Arrive near noon to be greeted by a 5 minute long carillon concert.
The Notre-Dame-de-Bon-Secours Chapel ("Our Lady of Good Help"), one of the oldest churches in Montreal, was built in 1771 over the ruins of an earlier chapel. Part of the church complex is the Marguerite Bourgeoys Museum. This chapel is often called the sailors' church. To learn about church history in Montreal, this church should be visited. Photography is permitted in...
The church was very beautiful and calm. There is a $5 fee which was fine with me. They need money to mantian the church
We spent less than 15 minutes in the Notre-Dame-de-Bonsecours Chapel. It was quite unfortunate that we did not have the opportunity to read up the history of the chapel. But with the vast sightseeing landmarks in Quebec City, we had more or less had to choose and pick the sites that impressed us the most. Eventually when we have more...

Jevic raises Vinz takeover offer
Relevant offers
Biosecurity vehicle inspector Jevic NZ has raised its bid for Vehicle Inspection New Zealand Limited (Vinz) by 30 per cent.
Jevic has revised its offer to $2.15 per share, up from $1.65, after weighing up an independent advisor's report.
Vinz' s board has unanimously recommended the new offer to shareholders and its five directors have agreed to sell their collective 9.5 per cent stake, Jevic said in a statement.
The new bid values Vinz at $5.37 million and is 43 per cent higher than the price its shares was trading at before the announcement at $1.50. Previously Jevic had received acceptances for just under 25 per cent of Vinz' shares.
Jevic chief executive Euan Philpot said his company raised its offer after considering the more-detailed information the independent adviser had access to.
"These included 2012 management accounts, 2013 budgets, and forecasts for 2013, 2014 and 2015," Philpot said.
"After considering the evidence and analysis in his report we reached the view that an increase was warranted."
The $2.15 offer sits between two of the independent advisor's three valuation ranges, one of which was $1.77-$1.93 and the other for $2.27-$2.55 per share.
A well-known source of vehicle warrants of fitness, VINZ also completes entry certification for the New Zealand Transport Agency on about 40 per cent of vehicles entering the country.
Its shares are traded on the Unlisted platform.
Jevic's offer closes on February 13 and is conditional on receiving more than 50 per cent of shares.
