Companies that are worth nothing

• BIOS companies (makers of 100% cruft software like UEFI)

Windows 10 and stuff not working.

My Microsoft Wireless Display Adaptator doesn't work.

PC evolution

Video cards are the last PC item that hasn't been shrunked properly.  Integrated video cards are mostly useful for watching movies, web browsing and office work.

Also the Intel NUC would be nicer if they were all fanless.  Fitted with heatsinks on chips.

All quiet on the nic front

Why doesn't Intel work on bringing 10 Gigabits nics to consumers?

Featureless Universal Apps

It's that time again and we've been served a fresh batch of new Microsoft Metro Modern Universal apps.


Still not implemented

App stays minimised when double-clicking a new MP3.

I will miss you

The Windows Phone email app is the best out there.

Email app from WP8

Keanu Reeves being sad.

Console gaming on Windows 10

I've been playing Minecraft Windows 10 edition. It works with keyboard/mouse/gamepad/touch. And connects to Xbox Live. This is what people wanted from Microsoft.

Windows 10 first impressions

I really like it. It's everything Windows 8 should have been.

The Cortana search bar doesn't work for me. It just open a web page to Bing. But I find myself using the Search box all the time. Initially, I thought it was a waste of precious TaskBar space.

Fate of horrible UI design

Today, I tried out Inbox by Gmail.  Just like the new Google Music UI, its just another clumsy software by Google.

Mark my words: Material design will have the same fate as Metro UI.

PS: the person who invented the Carousel UI metaphor should be punch in the balls/ovaries.  I'm looking at you Netflix.

"Eating our own Dogfood"

If I attempt to view an attachment image from Outlook.com, it asks me if I want to add it to Onedrive or download to my desktop.  I JUST WANT TO VIEW THE PICTURE!


Sometimes, it feels like the people at Microsoft don't actually use their own software.
