News Our Review Phones Forum
Windows Phone is the smartphone platform and OS from Microsoft. Like Google does with Android, Microsoft only makes the software, allowing various hardware manufacturers to make the phones that run Windows Phone. Windows Phone replaced the older Windows Mobile (Professional and Standard editions.) Windows Phone competes directly with iOS and Android, offering most of the same OS features.

Microsoft to Trim Another 2,850 Employees
Microsoft revealed more job cuts on Thursday as it continues to wind down its mobile phone business. The company plans to reduce headcount by 2,850 employees, primarily in its mobile phone and sales businesses. These cuts are in addition to the 1,850 job eliminations announced in May, also in the phone unit. Microsoft expects to finalize the cuts by the middle of 2017. Windows Phone's presence in the smartphone market has been hovering around 1% for the last few quarters.
Skype to Drop Support for Older Windows Phone Versions
Microsoft today said its Skype service will no longer be updated for Windows Phone 7 - 8.1 and older versions of Android and iOS. The company said it wants to "focus on the platforms of the future" which means it "must end support for some devices and operating systems." Skype will continue to support Windows 10 for Mobile, Windows 7, 8, XP, and Vista, Yosemite on Mac, iOS 8, and Android 4.03. Versions of Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android older than those named here will no longer be supported with updates. Skype says its service won't cease immediately on older platforms, but as the company continues to move Skype to the cloud, some features may become broken over time.
Deezer Opens Up Service to Everyone In the US
Deezer today made its music-streaming service available to anyone who wants it in the U.S. The service was previously limited to Cricket Wireless customers and those who owned Sonos home stereo equipment. Deezer's offering is similar to Spotify, Apple Music, and Google Music in that it provides access to millions of tracks, radio stations, and podcasts to mobile devices. Songs can be streamed or downloaded for offline playback. Deezer is available to Android, iOS, and Windows devices. The app itself is free to download, but the Premium+ experience requires a $10 monthly fee.
Acer Jade Liquid Primo Hits Microsoft Store
Acer's Jade Liquid Primo landed in the Microsoft Store today for $649. The device runs Microsoft's Windows 10 platform with Cortana, OneDrive, and Office. The Jade Liquid Primo includes a 5.5-inch full HD screen and is powered by a hexa-core Snapdragon 808 processor with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. The main camera captures 21-megapixel images and includes a dual-tone LED flash, while the selfie camera shoots 84-degree wide-angle images at 8-megapixels. Other specs include support for memory cards up to 128 GB, 2,870mAh battery, NFC, USB Type-C, GPS, Bluetooth, dual-band WiFi, and a bevy of sensors. The Acer Jade Liquid Primo is available directly from Microsoft's web site, unlocked with support for GSM-based networks (LTE Cat 6), for $649.
Microsoft Wallet Gains Tap-to-Pay Functionality
Microsoft today updated its Microsoft Wallet app and gave Lumia smartphone owners the ability to make mobile payments at supporting retailers. Windows Mobile has long included a Wallet app, but until today it was reserved for loyalty cards and other retail programs. Now, people can add their credit or debit card to Microsoft Wallet and use the app for tap-and-go purchases. The app is available to the Lumia 950, 950 XL, and 650, and requires Windows Insider build 14360 or higher. The Windows Insider program is free to join and distributes pre-release versions of Windows 10 Mobile that are still in development. Microsoft says the tap-to-pay feature will be expanded to all users running stock builds of Windows 10 Mobile later this summer. Both MasterCard and Visa support Microsoft Wallet, along with financial institutions including Bank of America, Chase Manhattan, People's United Bank, Fifth Third Bank, US Bank, and others. Microsoft says mobile payments should work at any retail terminal that accepts contactless payments. Microsoft Wallet is free to download from the Windows Store.
Microsoft Picks Up Wand to Boost Bots
Microsoft today said it has acquired Wand Labs, a company that combines human language with machine intelligence. Microsoft said it plans to add Wand Labs' talent to its Bing, Microsoft Azure, Office 365, and Windows platforms. "The Wand team's expertise around semantic ontologies, services mapping, third-party developer integration, and conversational interfaces make them a great fit ... especially with the work we're doing in the area of intelligent agents and chat bots," said David Ku, corporate vice president, Information Platform Group. Wand Labs was founded in 2013 by Vishal Sharma. The acquisition fits the roadmap unveiled earlier this year by Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, which will focus on the "conversation as a platform."
Opera Ad Blocker Now Available to Android, iOS, Windows
Opera updated several of its mobile browsers today, bringing its ad blocking tool to Android, iOS, and Windows handsets. First, Opera refreshed its main Opera browser for Android. In addition to the ad blocker, Opera for Android also gains support for web push notifications and multi-window support. Further, the browser's core was upgraded to Chromium 50. Opera for Android is free to download from the Google Play Store. Opera also updated Opera Mini for iOS and Opera Mini for Windows phones (8.1 and 10). Both platforms gain access to Opera's ad blocker. For all devices, the ad blocker is not on by default; users will need to activate it in the settings. Opera Mini for iOS and Windows is available from the iTunes App Store and Windows Store, respectively.
Skype Debuts Mojis and Emoticons of Professional Women
Microsoft today added more women to Skype's supported set of mojis and emoticons. The new moji specifically depict women in a greater variety of professional roles, such as scientist, athlete, teacher, and director. Microsoft hopes the expanded moji selection will help people convey more meaningful messages to one another. People who have the latest version of Skype installed on their Android, iOS, or Windows smartphone will see the updated emoticon picker tab beginning later today.
Facebook Adds More Than 1,500 Emoji to Messenger
Facebook today said it has taken steps to ensure all users of its Messenger application enjoy a rich experience. Moving forward, emoji will appear exactly the same across platforms, including the web, Android, iOS, and Windows. Moreover, the company has added a diverse mix of emoji to the app, including more variety in skin and hair colors, gender neutral options, more women in professional roles, and so on. Facebook says once users select a skin color all emoji will default to that skin color moving forward, though users will be able to change it at any time. The new emoji will be available in the expanded emoji keyboard. Facebook said updated versions of Messenger will roll out to users worldwide over the days ahead.
PayPal to Kill Off Its Windows Phone and BlackBerry Apps
PayPal today said it will sunset its Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Amazon Fire Phone apps on June 30. After that date, Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and Fire Phone users will not be able to login to or use the Paypal mobile app. PayPay says these users will be able to sign in to PayPal.com via the browser of their device and conduct transactions online. PayPal further said all Android and iOS users of its mobile app need to upgrade to version 6.0 between June 3 and June 30. Version 6.0 of the PayPal mobile app has a fresh design. PayPal said it gave more prominent placement to features its customers use most, such as send and request money, PayPal balance, and transaction history. PayPal is free to download from the Google Play Store and iTunes App Store.
Microsoft to Cut 1,850 Smartphone Workers
Microsoft today said it plans to further streamline its smartphone business, an action that includes job cuts and restructuring charges. The company plans to cut 1,350 jobs from its facilities in Finland, as well as another 500 jobs globally. The company expects to take a charge of about $950 million, of which $200 million will be used for severance packages. "We are focusing our phone efforts where we have differentiation — with enterprises that value security, manageability, and our Continuum capability, and consumers who value the same," said Satya Nadella, Microsoft's CEO. "We will continue to innovate across devices and on our cloud services across all mobile platforms." Microsoft says it expects to complete most job cuts by the end of this year and all cuts by July 2017. Sales of Windows 10 Mobile phones began in late 2015, but the platform has lost more ground since then, accounting for just 1% of smartphone sales during the first quarter, according to Gartner. Microsoft recently sold its feature phone business to a Foxconn subsidiary, and Nokia recently gave that same subsidiary the rights to use its brand on mobile devices. This paves the way for Nokia to make a return, of sorts, to the mobile phone business.
Android Apps Headed to Google's Chromebooks
Google today said its Chrome operating system will soon have access to the Google Play Store and the Android apps therein. ChromeOS will support all Android phone and tablet apps, including games, productivity apps, and social networking. Android apps can run in three different window sizes in ChromeOS and users will be able to move the windows around and multitask as needed. Keyboard, mouse, and touch input will all work together within Android apps, and Android-based notifications will be pushed to Chromebooks as well as phones. Moreover, users will be able share files seamlessly between Chrome and Android devices through a new Files app. Google says developers can add admin-level network support to their Android apps for Chrome so businesses and schools can control options such as Bluetooth and WiFi. Android games should run very well on Chromebooks, according to Google. Google Play for Chrome will be available to developers on the Asus Chromebook Flip, Acer Chromebook R 11, and the Chromebook Pixel with a wider launch expected later this year. Google says it will add support for Android apps to more Chromebooks over time. ChromeOS is Google's light-weight, browser-based operating system that runs on inexpensive laptops.
Microsoft Pulls WiFi Sense from Windows 10
Microsoft has decided to remove the WiFi Sense feature from all versions of Windows 10, including mobile devices and PCs. The feature was pulled from the most recent preview build of Windows 10 for PCs; it will be pulled from phones, too. WiFi Sense allowed people to share their WiFi logins with social network connections, as well as connect to public WiFi networks with less hassle. "The cost of updating the code to keep this feature working combined with low usage and low demand made this not worth further investment," explained Microsoft. Microsoft said people who leave WiFi Sense running on their phones will still be able to connect to open WiFi hotspots that are already in Microsoft's shared database. Microsoft recently released a new preview build of Windows 10 for handsets. Build 14332 mostly targets bugs and makes refinements to the user interface of select apps. The next preview build for phones will likely strip out WiFi Sense.
Instagram for Windows Grabs Huge Update
Facebook today announced three new apps for the Windows 10 platform, including a proper Instagram app for phones, and dedicated Facebook and Messenger apps for desktops. The Instagram app for Windows 10 Mobile includes features that have long been available only to the Android and iOS apps, including Instagram Direct, videos, the Explore tab, and more. Further, the Live Tile for Instagram now shows photo updates on the home screen. Instagram for Windows 10 Mobile will reach the Windows Store later today. Facebook said it plans to port the new Facebook and Messenger Windows 10 desktop apps to smartphones later this year.
Acer Liquid M330 Runs Windows 10 for $100
Microsoft recently added the Acer Liquid M330, a low-cost handset running Windows 10 Mobile, to its U.S. web store. The M330 includes a 4.5-inch screen with 854 by 480 resolution and is powered by a Snapdragon 210 processor with 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of storage, and support for 64 GB memory cards. The phone has two 5-megapixel cameras. The rear-facing camera includes autofocus and a flash, while the front-facing camera is fixed focus. It includes a standard batch of radios, such as Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi, and limited LTE support including bands 2, 4, 7, and 12. This makes it somewhat compatible with the 4G networks operated by AT&T and T-Mobile. The M330 supports two SIM cards. The phone is available directly from Microsoft for $99.99 It is sold unlocked.
Microsoft Rolls Out Lumia 950 BOGO Offer
Microsoft is looking to clear inventory of the Lumia 950 XL and Lumia 950 smartphones, which means consumers can buy one at full price and get the second one for free. The deal is available via Microsoft's U.S. web store. Specifically, people who purchase the 950 XL at $649 will receive a Lumia 950, valued at $549, for free. Both devices are being sold unlocked with support for GSM carriers, such as AT&T and T-Mobile. The promotion is available while supplies last through May 2. Microsoft reported shipments of about 2.3 million Lumia phones in its most recent financial documents, which represents a steep drop from the 8.6 million it shipped in the year-ago period. The company admitted it is sitting on a lot of excess inventory of its flagship Windows 10 Mobile devices. Moreover, the company expects "year over year revenue declines to deepen as we work through our Lumia channel position." Cricket Wireless is expected to launch Microsoft's mid-range model, the Lumia 650, early next month. Microsoft has recently pushed a significant update to its Windows 10 Mobile platform and updated core apps such as email, Groove Music, and the Edge browser.
Cricket to Sell Microsoft Lumia 650 Starting May 6
Cricket Wireless today announced plans to sell the Microsoft Lumia 650. The prepaid carrier will offer the phone beginning May 6 for $130. The phone runs Windows 10 Mobile and features a metal-frame design with a 5-inch HD OLED display, 8-megapixel camera, memory card slot, and removable battery. Cricket says people who switch from another carrier will be eligible for a $50 bill credit. T-Mobile customers who switch to Cricket will be eligible for a $100 bill credit. Cricket's prepaid plans start at $40 per month.
WhatsApp Secures Messages with End-to-End Encryption
WhatsApp today updated its service with full end-to-end encryption. Now, the latest version of the app protects calls, messages, photos, videos, files, and voice messages by default. Users don't need to take any action to enable it. Encryption applies to messages sent to individuals and groups. The company says no one but the recipient(s) will be able to read the messages. WhatsApp itself cannot see message contents. The update covers all versions of WhatsApp, including the Android, iOS, and Windows apps. WhatsApp, owned by Facebook, says more than one billion people use the app to communicate. The change follows the widely publicized FBI case against Apple, which ordered the company to unlock an iPhone. Apple refused, but the FBI was able to unlock the device using another method. WhatsApp says the government will not be able to read WhatsApp messages.
Microsoft Now Selling the Lumia 650
Microsoft has made the Lumia 650 available for purchase from its U.S. web site. The phone runs Windows 10 Mobile and features a metal-frame design with a 5-inch HD OLED display, 8-megapixel camera, memory card slot, and removable battery. Microsoft is selling the phone unlocked for $199. It is compatible with the networks run by AT&T and T-Mobile.
Microsoft Brings the Power of Cortana and Bots to Skype
Microsoft is giving Skype a boost of intelligence thanks to Cortana and Skype Bots. With Cortana integration, Skype users will be able to do things such as manage their calendar and contacts without leaving the Skype app. Cortana will also be able to interact with bots, which Microsoft said will allow people to perform tasks such as book hotels and order pizza by conversing with the app itself. Bots are available in preview form within the messaging part of Skype, but will eventually be added to audio and video calling, too. A new version of Skype for Android, iOS, and Windows enables the bots. Companies will be able to create their own bots for Skype via Microsoft's developer program. People will be able to add the bots they want to their contact list. Microsoft revealed the bots are part of its larger vision for voice-activated computing.
Microsoft Revises Its Skype Strategy
Microsoft today charted a new course for its Skype platform as realized on mobile devices, tablets, laptops, and PCs. Late last year, Microsoft announced its intent to offer a universal app for PCs and tablets, with separate apps targeting Windows 10 smartphones. After digesting feedback over the last few months, Microsoft has had a change of heart and will offer a universal app for all platforms. This will let people invested in the Windows ecosystem enjoy the same experience across different form factors. However, the company still intends to offer the separate mobile apps for calling, messaging, and video because it says phone users often prefer task-based apps. Microsoft will release the universal Skype app for Windows 10 PCs soon, with a version for phones to follow later.
Latest Windows 10 Preview Targets Browser and Maps
Microsoft has made a new build of Windows 10 available to mobile phones and PCs alike. Build 14291 makes significant changes to several important features. First, the Edge browser now supports extensions. Though this feature is limited to PCs, it makes the browser more competitive with Google's Chrome and Apple's Safari. The Edge browser also makes it possible to pin tabs within the app to anchor specific web pages, and adds more options when copying and pasting URLs. This Windows 10 update also heralds big improvements to the Windows Maps app for handsets and PCs. Maps is now more consistent between phones and PCs, and has a lightweight user interface. Some of the features added to Maps include one-tap access to search and directions, Cortana turn-by-turn directions, and quick access to cities rendered in 3D. Microsoft says the new Maps lets users view multiple searches and directions at the same time, minimize search results and directions during navigation, and see labels more clearly. Turn-by-turn navigation is easier to understand at a glance, and now supports landscape orientation. There are a number of other changes to the platform, such as a revised alarm clock app, support for various Japanese text entry modes, and the addition of the Feedback Hub for Windows Insiders to share their thoughts about Windows 10. This build is available to Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring for the Lumia 550, 650, 950, 950 XL, Xiaomi Mi4, and Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL. Microsoft says these devices are on deck for more previews in the weeks ahead.
Windows 10 Mobile Arrives for Some Older Handsets
Microsoft has begun making Windows 10 Mobile available to older smartphones running Windows Phone 8.1. Microsoft first expected to release the platform in November or December of last year, but pushed the update to the first quarter. The new operating system is available to the Lumia 430, 435, 532, 535, 540, 635, 640, 640 XL, 730/735, 830, 930, and 1520. Owners of these phones must first download the Upgrade Advisor app from the Windows Store and accept the terms and conditions of the upgrade. Once this proactive step is taken, the phone is prepared for Windows 10 and Microsoft will deliver it as an over-the-air update. Microsoft hasn't said if handsets other than this initial batch will be able to install Windows 10 Mobile. There are some significant omissions, such as the Lumia 520, 920, 1020, 1320, HTC One M8 for Windows, and the Lumia Icon. The refreshed platform makes improvements to Cortana and Office, and puts the mobile experience in line with Windows 10 desktop machines.
Twitter for Windows 10 Overhauled for Mobile and PCs
Twitter for Microsoft's Windows 10 platform has been given a significant update, putting it more in line with the apps available to Android and iOS devices. For example, Twitter now includes the Moments tab for summaries of current events and support for inserting GIFs into tweets. It also adds muting and group chat. As a universal app, these features are available to Windows 10 phones, tablets, and PCs. Twitter is free to download from the Windows Store
Here Maps to Ditch Windows Platforms
Here Maps today said it is dropping support for Windows 10 and Windows Phone. The company plans to pull all Here-branded mobile apps from the Windows Store by March 29, as the apps will cease working on handsets by June 30. "We made the Here apps compatible with Windows 10 by using a workaround that will no longer be effective after June 30," explained Here's Pino Bonetti in a blog post. "To continue offering the Here apps for Windows 10 would require us to redevelop the apps from the ground up, a scenario that led to the business decision to remove our apps from the Windows 10 store." This means Here Maps will no longer be available to Windows 10-based smartphones, tablets, and PCs; instead, Here says Windows 10 devices will need to use the Microsoft Maps product. Microsoft Maps relies on Here's mapping data, but doesn't have the robust feature set of the Here Maps apps. Phones running Windows Phone 8/8.1 will still be able to use Here Maps on their devices, but Here will limit any future updates to critical bug fixes. Here Maps, Nokia's former mapping division, is now owned by a consortium of German auto makers including Audi, BMW, and Daimler. The consortium plans to focus efforts on other platforms, including Android and iOS.
Skype for Web Now Supports Calling Mobile Phones
Microsoft has improved the browser-based version of Skype with new several tools. To start, users can now call mobile phones and landlines from the web, including international numbers (Skype credit required). The web client also gains the ability to view YouTube videos directly in message threads, rather than force users to open a separate window. YouTube support includes standard playback controls, such as volume and play/pause. Skype for web makes it easier to invite non-Skype users to join conversations with an improved sharing tool, and new notifications mean web users won't miss incoming messages or calls when signed in. Skype for the web is free to use and is compatible with mobile Skype apps, such as those for Android, iOS, and Windows machines.
Microsoft Tweaks Phone and Email Apps In Newest Win10 Build
Microsoft today made Windows 10 Techincal Preview Build 14283 available to Windows Insiders in the fast ring. This build of Windows 10 Mobile makes changes to several core communications apps, including the phone and Outlook Mail. In the phone, for example, Microsoft added missed call and voicemail waiting indicators to the tabs to make spotting them easier. Outlook Mail now allows users to turn off the message preview text in the message list, which adds a bit of privacy. Users can also more swiftly dump junk from their inbox. Outlook's calendar tool can now be used to send alerts, such as "I'll be late" to other meeting attendees. Microsoft is preparing to merge the Windows Feedback app and Insiders Hub into the Feedback Hub to streamline user feedback tools. Build 14283 also resolves a lot of bugs. This Windows 10 Mobile Techincal Preview is available to the Lumia 950, 950 XL, 650, and 550.
Skype Brings Messaging to Office and OneDrive Online
Microsoft today expanded Skype's calling and messaging functions to the online versions of Office and OneDrive. People will be able to initiate Skype conversations when using the web-based Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, and OneDrive apps. Microsoft imagines the feature will be useful for people who need to collaborate on files in real time. Microsoft recently gave these same tools to the mobile versions of Office and OneDrive. Skype, Office, and OneDrive are free for Android, iOS, and Windows, but some Office functions require a subscription to Office 365.
Microsoft Makes Latest Win 10 Build Available to More Phones
Microsoft today released Windows 10 Mobile build 10586.122 to Windows Insiders in the Slow and Release Preview rings. Microsoft made the same build available to Fast Ring Insiders last week. It mostly fixes bugs.
Deezer Releases Universal App for Windows 10
Deezer today made a new beta app available to Windows devices. The universal app works on Windows 10 for smartphones, tablets, and PCs and, says Deezer, delivers a more seamless experience across form factors. The app looks and functions the same no matter which device the subscriber uses, and includes a new design with revised content pages, tab bar, and My Music folder. Most importantly, as people use the new Deezer app on one device, changes are reflected across other devices the user may have so they always have access to the same music and settings. The new Deezer universal app for Windows 10 is available to both Premium+ and free users.
WhatsApp Ending Support for Blackberry and Symbian OSes
WhatsApp plans to cease supporting a handful of older mobile operating systems by the end of the year. WhatsApp will stop working on devices running Android 2.1 and 2.2; all BlackBerry OSes, including BlackBerry 10; Nokia's S40 and Symbian S60 platforms; and Windows Phone 7.1. "While these mobile devices have been an important part of our story, they don't offer the kind of capabilities we need to expand our app's features in the future," explained WhatsApp in a blog post. WhatsApp suggests people relying on devices that run this operating systems upgrade to newer hardware if they wish to continue using WhatsApp. Facebook bought WhatsApp in 2014 for $16 billion. Facebook says WhatsApp has more than 1 billion users worldwide.
Microsoft Bags Windows Bridge for Android Apps
Microsoft today provided an update on the tools it offers to developers and said it has canceled plans the Windows Bridge for Android (project Astoria). The Bridge was meant to help Android developers re-use their code and port their apps to Windows. Microsoft released the Windows Bridge for iOS last summer and keep that Bridge up and running based on the positive feedback it has received from developers. Microsoft also announced that it has purchased a company called Xamarin. Xamarin offers tools to developers so they can build mobile apps using C# and deliver native mobile apps to all major devices, including iOS, Android, and Windows. The Xamarin acquisition will help make up for, in part, the loss of the Windows Bridge for Android, as it lets developers use .NET and C# along with a full set of APIs for each platform. Microsoft believes it now has a more robust set of tools for developers to use to write apps not only for the Universal Windows Program, but also for Android and iOS.
Microsoft Delivers Windows 10 Build to PCs and Phones
Microsoft today is making a fresh build of Windows 10 available to both PCs and phones at the same time. Build 14267.1004 for phones is nearly identical to the build Microsoft released last week, but resolves two important bugs. For example, it fixed an issue that prevented the Lumia 550 from charging, and returned the "history" function to the People app. The build also introduces one new feature: visual voicemail for dual-SIM devices. Windows 10 Build 14267.1004 is available to Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring. Microsoft will push the build to devices in the Slow Ring later.
Hands On with the Microsoft Lumia 650
Microsoft announced the Lumia 650 ahead of Mobile World Congress and we had a chance to take a look at it on-site here in Barcelona. This mid-range Windows 10 handset is far more impressive than the entry-level Lumia 550, and almost outshines the high-end Lumias 950 and 950 XL. Here's why.
Hands On with HP's Elite x3
HP is jumping back into phones at a completely unexpected time. HP made quite a few iPAQ Windows smartphones back in the day (2004-2009, to be precise.) Then they bought Palm and infamously drove that into the ground. (RIP, webOS.) But now HP is jumping back into the fray with yet another Windows smartphone: the Elite x3 with Windows 10. This huge 6-inch phablet sets itself apart with not only Windows 10 with Continuum, but the ability to run old-school x86 Windows apps (not just Windows Universal apps like the Lumias.) It also has serious security features. In other words, this is a phone aimed squarely at serious enterprise customers. We checked it out. Read on for our first impressions.
HP Debuts Windows 10-Based Elite x3
HP today announced the Elite x3, a Windows 10 Mobile handset that can take advantage of Continuum to stand in as a laptop or desktop computer. It is a ruggedized handset that meets mil-spec 810G for protection against abuse and IP67 for protection from water and dust. It is compatible with a 12-inch screen/keyboard accessory to serve as a laptop, or can plug into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse to serve as a full desktop. The Elite x3 is a phablet boasting a 5.96-inch quad HD screen with Gorilla Glass 4. The phone is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon 820 processor (2.15 GHz octa-core) with an Adreno 530 GPU and support for Quick Charge 3.0 for rapid charging. The Elite x3 boasts a 16-megapixel main camera at f/2.0 and an 8-megapixel user-facing camera. It runs Microsoft's mobile operating system complete with Office and built-in security tools for business users. Other hardware features include 4 GB of RAM, 64 GB of storage, and support for external memory cards; full suite of wireless radios, including LTE, Bluetooth, GPS, and WiFi; as well as a built-in 4,150mAh battery that supports wireless charging. HP didn't say when the Elite x3 will go on sale, nor what it and its accessories may cost.
Microsoft Outs New Windows 10 Mobile Preview
Microsoft today announced the availability of Windows 10 Mobile technical preview build 14267. This marks the first release of Windows 10 Mobile from the main development branch this year, putting Windows 10 Mobile on par with Windows 10 for PCs and tablets. This release is initially being made available only to the Lumia 950, 950 XL, 550, and Xiaomi Mi4 — all devices that shipped with Windows 10 Mobile preinstalled. This build makes it easier to search for music using Cortana, allows the WordFlow keyboard to function in the Edge browser address bar, makes InPrivate Tabs simpler to open from mobile phones, and improves download prompts within the browser. Microsoft says there are some known bugs in this build, including one that impacts voicemail. Build 14267 is being distributed to Windows Insiders in the Fast Ring, and will be pushed to other users over time.
Apple to Start Accepting Android Phones As Trade-Ins
Apple is making it easier to buy new iPhones by expanding the selection of phones it will accept as trade-ins. The new program is called Trade Up With Installments and lets people hand over an old phone when buying a new iPhone. Apple will apply the credit of the old phone toward the cost of a new phone and break up the payments for the new iPhone over a 24-month period. Apple will give $100 in credit for an iPhone 4 or 4s, $200 for an iPhone 5, 5s, or 5c, $300 for an iPhone 6, or $350 for an iPhone 6s, depending on the condition of the the trade. Apple will give between $100 and $300 in credit for Android and Windows handsets that are traded in. The 24-month financing plan includes Apple Care+ ($129). People interested in upgrading need to visit Apple Stores to earn credit toward a new iPhone. Trade Up With Installments kicks off today.
Cat S60 Boasts a Thermal Camera
Cat Phones today announced the S60 smartphone, a fully rugged handset that is the first to include a thermal camera. The thermal camera allows the S60 to see and take pictures of heat signatures at a range of 50 to 100 feet. Cat says the camera can be used to view heat loss around windows/doors, see over-heating electrical appliance, and see in the dark. The S60 is also more waterproof than most other rugged handsets. It can sit in five meters of water for up to an hour. The S60 has a 4.7-inch HD screen with Gorilla Glass 4, wet finger tracking, and glove support. The phone has a large 3800mAh battery and is powered by an octa-core Snapdragon 617 processor with 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage. The Cat S60 has a 13-megapixel main camera and 5-megapixel front camera, and an extra loud speaker. The phone runs Android 6.0 Marshmallow. Cat expects to ship the S60 later this year for $599.
Line to Shutter MixRadio
Line today said it plans to close its MixRadio streaming music service. MixRadio was initially developed by Nokia for Windows Phone, sold to Microsoft, and later sold to Line. Line later released MixRadio to the Android and iOS platforms. Line says the music service simply isn't viable. Line's core product is a mobile messaging service. "After a careful assessment of the subsidiary's overall performance, the financial challenges posed by the music streaming market, and priorities of Line, Line has determined that future growth would be difficult to ensure and decided to discontinue the MixRadio music streaming service," said the company in a blog post. The company, which focuses its efforts in is Asia, had hoped the music service would help it expand. Moving forward, Line will remain focused on Asia.

Amarillo falls on a list of Texas cities where children's car safety seats are more frequently used incorrectly, according to a Texas Transportation Institute study.
The research cited by the Texas Department of Transportation, shows cities with the lowest rates of correct child safety seat use are Brownsville, at 26 percent; Amarillo, 37 percent; El Paso, 37 percent; Lubbock, 44 percent; and Houston, 59 percent,
Although nine out of 10 Texas children are riding in safety seats, many are not properly buckled, and 37 percent of infants and toddlers are secured incorrectly — or not at all, a TxDOT news release said.
Texas cities with the highest rates of correct child safety seat use are Austin, 83 percent; Tyler, 78 percent; Fort Worth, 77 percent; Bryan/College Station, 75 percent; and Waco, 73 percent, according to TxDOT and the institute.
Car crashes continue to be a leading cause of death for children ages 1 to 13 years, with more than 939 fatalities in 2011, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in April.
TxDOT announced Monday it is offering free, year-round child safety seat inspections conducted by certified technicians. The announcement was timed to coincide with National Child Passenger Safety Week, which began Sunday and ends Saturday.
Inspections by TxDOT child safety seat technicians are available by appointment at each of TxDOT's 25 district offices.
In the Amarillo area, appointments can be made by calling Tracy Tellman at 806-356-3295.
Residents in the Dumas area can call Deanna Ballinger at 806-935-4501, and Dalhart-area residents can call Nadine Pope at 806-249-2071.
Texas law requires children younger than 8 years of age to ride in safety seats, unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches, the news release said.
TxDOT's has a new interactive seat finder at TexasClickItorTicket.com that can help drivers find the appropriate safety seats for a child's size. Visitors to the website should click on "Child Safety" to begin the search.
Information also is available from a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration website, www.safercar.gov/therightseat.

TitleBalloons, Fabrics and Static Electricity
Problem ScenarioThis project is important because I want to know which fabric has the most static cling.
Broad QuestionHow long will balloons cling onto fabric?
Specific QuestionHow long will a balloon cling onto different fabrics: cotton, wool, fleece, nylon, or polyester?
HypothesisI hypothesize that that the cotton will hold the balloon for the longest.
Graph of Hypothesis
Independent Variable:Cotton, Tissue, Fleece, Silk, and Latex
Dependent Variable:Time in seconds
Variables That Need To Be Controlled:
Vocabulary List That Needs ExplanationStatic Electricity- Electric charge that has accumulated on an object. Static electricity is often created when two objects that are not good electrical conductors are rubbed together, and electrons from one of the objects rub off on to the other. This happens, for example, when combing one's hair or taking off a sweater. Sudden releases of built-up static electricity can take the form of an electric arc.
General PlanCharge a balloon with static electricity and place it onto a fabric and time (in seconds) how long the balloon clings to the fabric. Then record the time.
Potential Problems And SolutionA few problems that i ran into while doing/ putting together my project was finding and getting the balloons. Because I was not able to go somewhere and but the fabrics or balloons, I had to go ask teachers if they had anything. I had to change a few of my fabrics because other teachers didn't have the fabrics that i had planned to use on the beginning.
Safety Or Environmental ConcernsIn order to deal with this problem, you must plan ahead of time, where and when you are going to collect your supplies.
Experimental Design34
Time Line
Background ResearchHow do you really create static electricity? How does static electricity really work? Have you ever wondered these questions yourself? In my next few paragraphs I'm sure I will answer all of your questions.
Static electricity is an electric charge that has accumulated on an object. Static electricity is often created when two objects that are not good electrical conductors are rubbed together, and electrons from one of the objects rub off on to the other. This happens, for example, when combing one's hair or taking off a sweater. Sudden releases of built-up static electricity can take the form of an electric arc. An electric current, often strong, brief, and luminous, in which electrons jump across a gap. Electric arcs across specially designed electrodes can produce very high heat sand bright light, and are used for such purposes as welding and illumination in spotlights. Unwanted arcs in electrical circuits can cause fires. Lightning is a case of an electric arc between one cloud and the earth or an other cloud, as are sparks caused by discharges of static electricity.
In order to create static electricity you must rub and object against another object. For example, if you rub a balloon against cardboard or someone's hair, you will create static electricity. Another way to create static electricity, is if you go home and take your shoes off, and rub you feet against the carpet (make sure you have socks on) you will create static electricity between your feet and the carpet.
Which fabrics hold static electricity? All fabric can hold static electricity, except some will hold the static electricity for longer than other fabrics. For example, if you do an experiment with latex and cotton and see which fabric hold the static electricity the longest; it is most likely that that latex will hold it longer. I did an experiment with just latex, cotton, silk, fleece, and tissue and they all held static electricity, but there are many, many, MANY other fabrics hat will hold static electricty.
I hope I answered all of your questions. This experiment was really fun and hope that maybe you will try it. What fabrics will you test?
Detailed Procedure
Photo List
All Raw Data
Data AnalysisConsistently in each trial, the balloon clung to the tissue fabric the longest. Following behind the tissue, the silk fabric held the balloon the second longest. In some trials, the silk is close behind the the tissue, while in other trials, tissue leaves silk in the dust! Coming in last place, closely behind cotton, is fleece.
ConclusionI hypothesized that the cotton will hold the balloon the longest. I have to reject my hypothesis because my data supported that the tissue held the balloon the longest.
DiscussionThere are a variety of applications of my results for the community, for example:You may want to know which fabrics holds the most static electricity so that if you go to somewhere where you are going to be around a lot of electricity then you won't get shocked or shock yourself when you touch metal. It is also good to know which fabrics hold a lot of static electricity if you are doing a different experiment where you need to create static electricity, and so you can use those fabrics. If you are going to an event where you want to where your fleece sweater and you walking around when you see your family friend. You go in for a hug and ZZAAPP!! You get shocked by her wool sweater. That is all the doing of static electricity. While you were walking, your feet were rubbing against the floor and created static electricity and when you went to hug her, the static electricity from your sweater transferred onto her sweater. That is another reason why it is good to know which fabrics hold the most static electricity.
During my experiment I came to very little problems. The only problem I had was I didn't have my supplies on time so I had to ask borrow supplies from teachers. If you do this experiment, you may run into more troubles. For example, finding wall space to hang the cardboard with the fabrics on it on. Or you may have trouble with having your balloon cling to the fabric and not the cardboard. In order to fix these problems, you could plan ahead of time of when you are going to get your materials, do your experiment in the hall, or make your fabric bigger than the balloon.
To improve my project I would have made it more complex and measured the amount of static electricity in each fabric. I would have also used different fabrics but, as I said before, I had a limited time to get the fabrics and I didn't get the ones that I wanted. I would have also gotten a bigger piece of cardboard to use and covered it with more fabrics and ran more trials. I feel as though this would improve my experiment.
AbstractI hypothesized that the balloon would cling to the cotton for the longest. I hypothesized wrong. The balloon really clung to the tissue for the longest. I did this project is important because I wanted to know which fabric has the most static cling. What I did for my project is, I charged my balloon with static electricity and placed it onto a fabric and timed it (in seconds) how long the balloon clings to the fabric. Then I recorded the time. I found out that the tissue fabric held the most static electricity, so the balloon clung to it the longest. I found that the fleece held the least amount of static electricity, so the balloon clung to it for the least amount of time.

Italy's prime minister-designate Enrico Letta scrambled on Friday to put together a coalition, as stocks fell in a sign of growing investor impatience over a two-month political deadlock in the eurozone's third-largest economy.
The Milan stock market closed down 0.51 percent as earlier hopes that Letta would unveil his coalition on Friday fell through and informal talks with the parties continued.
The government is expected to be sworn in on Saturday, Italian media reported, citing sources in Letta's staff.
The 46-year-old leftist moderate has said he wants to move quickly to tackle the social fallout of a painful recession and ease the austerity measures implemented by outgoing prime minister Mario Monti, who remains in charge.
Letta said Thursday after talks with the main political parties that his attempt to put together a grand coalition had encountered "difficulties".
On Friday, he met President Giorgio Napolitano, who nominated Letta on Wednesday and has threatened to resign if no cabinet is formed.
Most analysts were upbeat about his chances despite the delay.
"Letta is basically close to forming his government," said Stefano Folli, a political commentator for business daily Il Sole 24 Ore, adding that the nominee could "scale the mountain by Saturday evening or Sunday morning".
The lower and upper house of parliament are expected to meet on Monday and Tuesday for confidence votes on the new government.
But commentators warned that the bickering parties -- which stalled the formation of a government for two months following inconclusive elections in February -- would not easily work together.
Letta's leftist Democratic Party, which narrowly won the general election, is deeply divided over going into government with former prime minister Silvio Berlusconi's People of Freedom party.
Letta is engaged in tricky negotiations with the scandal-tainted billionaire tycoon Berlusconi, whose votes his government will depend on.
Berlusconi held lengthy negotiations with key members of his party on Friday to hammer out details of a possible accord with Letta, postponing a late meeting with the prime minister-designate and raising fears of a further delay in the deal, Italian media said.
The head of Berlusconi's centre-right party, Angelino Alfano, had said after talks with Letta that there had been a general "understanding" on forming a government but there were still "knots left to unravel".
In interviews with Italian newspapers on Friday, Berlusconi indicated his party would not hold up the formation of a government but called for a sharp rejection of Monti's austerity.
"I think even Brussels is becoming convinced that there has been too much austerity," Berlusconi told the Corriere della Sera daily.
The scandal-tainted tycoon ruled out his own inclusion in the cabinet, but his critics said the media magnate was the real victor of the political crisis and would be a power behind the throne.
In two trials due to resume next month, Berlusconi is appealing a tax fraud conviction and defending himself on charges of having sex with a 17-year-old prostitute.
Observers said Berlusconi's recent gain in the polls meant he could push for Letta to choose ministers likely to favour him and offer him some protection in his legal battles.
"There's an infallible way to know how things are going for this country and what form the new government is taking: Berlusconi's expression," said anti-mafia prosecutor Antonio Di Pietro.
"When he has a smile from one ear to the other, it is a sign things are going very well for him and badly for us," he said.
Most analysts say any new government would be short-lived and will be brought down by irreconcilable differences that can only be resolved through another general election.
A coalition government "should be assured of a confidence vote in parliament" but risks creating "a high level of tension between the parties -- unless this tension explodes from the start and the government doesn't even get off the ground," said Lucia Annunziata for Huffington Post Italia.
"Will the government be stable enough to press on with reforms? Highly unlikely, because of the internal contradictions," James Walston, international relations professor at the American University in Rome, wrote on his blog.
Meanwhile former comedian Beppe Grillo, head of the Five Star Movement protest party which won a quarter of the vote and came in third place, derided the impending deal between right and left.
"The government that is being born is a pile-up worthy of the best bunga bunga," Grillo said on his blog, in reference to the alleged raunchy parties hosted by Berlusconi when he was premier.

Step 2: Add Planted Trays
The 1-by-2-foot black polypropylene trays—planted four months earlier and nurtured at a nursery—arrive by truck 95 percent covered with vegetation. They come stacked in racks that are wrapped in plastic to secure them for shipping. The plastic is removed after the trays are unloaded, to keep the plants from overheating; the trays are moved by forklift (in this case) or crane to the rooftop. Before the trays can be installed, decorative L-shaped aluminum edging is temporarily weighted down around the edge of the roof where it will cover the sides of the trays. Starting in a corner and working right to left, the 40-pound planted trays are placed in rows on the roof and inside the edging. Installers start setting the trays at the lowest end of the roof, moving across and up the roof's slope.

Personally, I hate DMRs. I'm a sniper, not a mid-range marksman dammit!
wait? that a girl! it looks just a avg joe in a smaller armor
*sigh*, lol yes that's a girl. Real warriors (and thereby realistic, sci fi warriors) would wear full body armor and not bounce around in bikinis during a firefight. I know, I was sad too. But reality is cooler anyway. Sides, if you can see subtlety, he does an excellent job of creating a female spartan. I knew at a glance it was female.
but like i said a dude who has not gone into the spartan program could fit in that armour(armor sorry canadian we spell it with a "u"
Yup, using this as reference. GREAT JOB!

Breakthrough may lower cost of anti-malaria drug

Returning students pack jobs fair
A growing number of Chinese who head overseas to study are coming home to find work.
More babies, less work?
In recent years, there has been a gradual relaxation of China's family planning laws, as the population continues to age and the national fertility rate continues to decline. Since 2013, married couples in many parts of the country have been allowed to have two children if one parent was an only child. Now some are calling for a further relaxation of the two child policy that would allow all Chinese couples to have two children. But some women worry that once the policy is implemented, it could hurt women's chances of getting hired or promoted in the workplace. For example, Ms Fang Hua, a professional woman with two children, believes that employers will be more likely to hire a man given the fact that now women can take two maternal leaves. Plus, between the age of 30 to 40, women are at a critical period of career development. Therefore most women will face a dilemma between missing the opportunity of getting promoted and having two children. However, Yang Zhan, a human resource expert disagrees. He argues that currently many Chinese seem to be content with just one child, so that discrimination against woman will not be likely to become significant if most women do not choose to have two children. In addition, companies nowadays have more options to fill vacancies created by pregnant female employees -- short-term contracts, for example. What do foreigners in Shanghai think about this issue? How do western countries combat discrimination against women in the workplace?
Need a New Visa Rule?
Are you a foreigner who wants to live in Shanghai permanently? Do you have some foreign friends who want to work in China? Foreigners must have some questions about their visas.

Yours for $ 4,500
Younger than some of its neighbors, this three-bedroom suburban look-alike was built in 1941. The address puts it in the middle of the foreclosure meltdown in Detroit, where dozens of listings on any given day show houses going for prices from another era. Though its facade, with gable front and bay window, appears to be in pretty good shape, this one-bath Tudor "needs work," according to the listing agent.

When University of Arkansas Professor Dr. David Stahle came to North Carolina's Black River in the early 1980s, he was looking for old-growth trees which could reveal clues to past climate conditions. What he discovered were the oldest trees in Eastern North America. Taking small cores with an increment borer, Stahle's team determined several Black River bald cypress trees to be as old as the Roman Empire.

I have looked at all the previous versions of this topic but none seem quite to match my problem.
If I direct posts to my front page it is normal. If I direct them to my "News" page they also appear to be normal. However if I use another browser, or sign out of WP they appear twice.
This has only occurred recently and I have just changed my theme to that lovely modern twenty ten, but the problem is still there.

Hey Folks,
I have a custom loop displaying properly throughout my site, showing 3 posts from a 'press releases page'... the only thing is that if do a search on the site, the search results page breaks the sidebar loop: it will do 1 of 2 things:
1) display no press releases if the search results do not contain any links to a press release
2) display only the press release found in the search results.
here's my code for my sidebar loop:
<?php $recent = new WP_Query(); ?>
<?php $recent->query('cat=3&showposts=3'); ?>
<?php while($recent->have_posts()) : $recent->the_post(); ?>
<p>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_title(); ?>
<?php the_time('l, F jS, Y') ?>
<?php endwhile; ?>
I've tried adding the reset_query tag to both my search page, and code above... both before & after the call, but nothing works.
I've tried using plugins for this but they also would spit back some error.... I'd rather know how to code it myself anyway.
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

I think the answer is no, but I'd still like to make sure. I'm trying to integrate the mediaplayer keys (on the keyboard) to a javascript function somehow. As a roundabout way, I've found the Ubuntu Webapps Integration, but that would only function in Ubuntu 12.10. Is there a similar solution available for Windows, or is it impossible to do without a custom plugin?
I have also tried the JS KeyTest and it does not return me any keycodes for music keys.
