Windows Phone Dead?

January 29, 2016, 13:16(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

microsoft_logoTom Warren of WinRumors/Neowin/iVerge claims the Windows Phone is dead.

www_news

www_newsIn many peoples opinion Slashdot and SourceForge have been going down hill for quite a while. Slashdotters often lampoon the site. SourceForge has gotten so bad that it regularly appears on malware site block lists.
I hope this move will bring these sites to their former glory.

Google Wants The Web To Be HTTPS Too
It is my belief that everything on the web should be as secure as we can make it. To that end I have done my part by making this site all HTTPS.
Website operators, it is time to get your act together because Google Will Soon Shame All Websites That Are Unencrypted.

Back To The Future
DeLoreans are coming back. “Flux Capacitors for everyone!” exclaimed one fan.
Not the original company, and it will set you back at least $100,000.
