As a counterpoint, when my wife and I saw Rogue One we were both impressed that they managed to find somebody that looks just like Tarkin from the original film. I had no idea he was CG until reading about it after the fact.

The Android version can use "Hey Cortana"; it's under Settings. No idea about the iOS version, though.

This is true for even some small-town banks. I switched to Windows Phone last year and built a personal banking app that would display my financial details on a live tile. While using Fiddler to figure out the necessary API calls, I discov

I've had a Band for most of the year and highly recommend it. Unlike watty, I think it's pretty comfortable. Admittedly it took a couple of days to get used to, but I rarely notice that it's on my wrist. The only exception be

What I'm most concerned about, as somebody switching back to a Windows Phone soon, is the apparent lack of a web interface for the OnHub. According to this page [1] the OnHub requires an Android or iOS device, with the app installed, t

Good for you! Magento isn't in my wheelhouse, but I'd be interested in hearing how you've gone about marketing your book before release — building a mailing list, sharing articles to social media, guest blog posts, etc. Do yo

It's interesting that Lumia sales are up by more than 10%, but revenue through phone sales decreased by 38%. That was primarily caused by Microsoft's refusal to sell any flagship Windows Phones after they purchased Nokia. I was pe

It's an unfortunate state of affairs when a modern browser has to spoof another browser just to get the right content. The user agent in Microsoft's new browser does this by default [1][2]. As a user, I'd love to see a day wh

I believe that's referring to Xamarin and Cordova, which are now built into VS2015. Xamarin still requires a Xamarin subscription to compile and deploy the apps, though. On the other hand, they might also be talking about the new Unive

Again, this is all subjective, but I'll try to explain why I prefer live tiles over Android's widgets. 1. Android widgets are huge, I can fit maybe 4-5 widgets on one page of the Android desktop. More than that, they become so scr

I'm using a brand new LG G4 as my daily driver, and I own two Nexus 7s. You're going to have a hard time convincing me that the Android widgets I can set up on my G4 [1] compare in any way to the live tiles on a Windows Phone [2].

Personally, I switched over to Windows Phone from a Nexus 4 after I bought a generic Windows 8 tablet and started using the live tiles. In my opinion, compared to the iOS and Android "grid of icons", live tiles are just superior i

I had asked the founder about a Windows Phone client a couple of weeks ago and at the time he had said a WP client was 'very likely'. Not sure which is more recent, but I would also like to see an Authy client for Windows Phone.
