Really ? The lack of decent Windows Phones as compared to the Android offerings on Verizon is why I have not switched to a Windows Phone.  Part of me wants to switch, but when I look at the specs for say, the DNA, I lean that route.  Then I wish there were a Windows Phone on par with the DNA.

Sad

Some notable quotes from that article.

"I asked Microsoft officials if the Windows Phone team was among the whitelisted developers. No word back so far.  Google, however, confirmed this will not impact the agreement with Microsoft and that the Softies will still be able to implement CalDav support on Windows Phone."

"The Windows team is not going to be adding CardDAV or CalDAV support for users who are trying to connect to a Google account via Mail/Calendar/People after January 30. Here's Microsoft's guidance as to how these users can sync their Google accounts with Windows 8 and Windows RT."

@JohnAskew:The parties switched over in the last 100 years or so. 

The folks who fought for seccession (and slavery) are the same folks who populate the sourthern republicans.  They just have a different team name and jersey color.

 

I don't normally get into political discussions but I felt I had to correct this one.  It is actually the Republican party that fought for civil rights and to end slavery.

Yes, I like to highlight and add notes to any tech books I use.  Which is why I have not really taken to an e-reader yet, obviously I was leaning towards the Nook Color but have not purchased one yet.

We had insurance on our daughter's phone.  When it broke after being dropped we discovered that the insurance we had been paying on all this time was useless.  It did not change a thing.  I will never get that kind of insurance again.

I guess it is only good if the phone gets water damaged, I don't know.
