  • Microsoft’s applications on Windows Phone 7 Series not Silverlight-based
    Following a lead from a xda-developers.com forum thread whose users have analyzed the Windows Phone 7 Series emulator ROM with CSI-like forensics, a question that is now obvious in retrospect was raised, “are Microsoft’s own applications on Windows Phone 7 Series based on the same development platform it exposes to third parties, Silverlight?” As I...

  • Internet Explorer 9 takes the lead, again, for now
    About six months ago at Microsoft PDC09, Dean Hachamovitch revealed Internet Explorer 9 for the first time and teased a relatively new browser rendering technique based on Direct2D, at the time.

Half a year ago, Firefox 3.5 introduced support for geolocation, a feature...

  • Windows Phone 7 Series live demonstration
    Tom Warren and I just got out of a short but sweet private demonstration of Windows Phone 7 Series in a series of dungeon-like rooms here at Mobile World Congress 2010. Suffice to say the Zune HD-like user experience looks even better upfront and personal. Here’s a bunch of closeup photos of the phone, user interface and a Microsoft representative’s hands. One...

  • Make Adobe Reader shine like it should under 64-bit Windows 7/Vista
    When faced with a buggy piece of software, most users probably work-around the problems in silence, others might voice the issue at the developers, but there’s also a growing minority who whip out their development tools and attempt to fix it themselves. In the case of the broken Adobe Reader 9.0 PDF preview and thumbnail handler on 64-bits versions of Windows...
