Other off topic posts that I was enjoying covering, a once in a lifetime event, or maybe I was bored
Today is the Day that a lot of people were waiting from the year 1989, the day that Marty McFly and Doc Brown arrive to the future/today. Is your Hoverboard charged? Are your Sneakers self-tied? Is the Pizza hydrated? Fax received? Then you’re ready to follow the action as the world celebrates this day. I’ll continue updating this post with more videos from the past and from around the world 🙂 Enjoy:
Let’s start with the trailer of Back to the Future Part II
The New Lumia 950 has adaptive antenna technology which means it has two antennas and windows will choose the best antenna
It also has the latest octacore and hexacore processors and it has liquid cooling technology which the Lumia team got from the Surface team.
The new camera is very good in lowlight. It has triple LED which means no more red eyes and no more seeing people like ghosts in photos.
It has 32GB and allows up to 256GB 2TB external storage when SD Cards catch up.
It has Cortana, it has Office, it has Edge, and it has Octacores in your pocket. You can unlock your phone using face detection.
Now it’s time for Continuum.
Above is the device to connect your phone to a monitor.
You can also Multitask like you do on your Windows 10 PC. You can still use your phone whilst your phone is connected to the monitor!
You can ALT+TAB on your phone!
The Lumia 950 will be priced at $549 and the Lumis 950 XL will be priced at $649.

Thanks for asking Cortana 🙂 and thanks for making my Windows Phone better. Yesterday Microsoft released Windows Phone 8.1 to all Windows Phone developers. To download you have to have a Windows Phone Store account and the app Preview for Developers installed on your phone. One of the most awaited features of the 8.1 update was Cortana, Microsoft’s new personal assistant for Windows Phone. It takes her name from Cortana, the AI in Halo, and it can help you with all your daily needs, set reminders, check the weather and much more. Continue reading
That’s how I thought it was going to be, full of their new Z10 and Q10 mobile specs, showing the new Blackberry 10 features…. but all I got was a 404 Page not found message!! Don’t know if it only loads for non US users, i.e. maybe for Europeans only.
