Microsoft now owns Nokia...

Assassin's — Fri, 25 Apr 2014 20:17:54 +0800

SOURCE : Microsoft morphs into a hardware giant with Nokia deal completion

QUOTE

Nearly eight months after its original announcement, Microsoft has completed its deal to purchase Nokia's devices and services unit today. Microsoft will pay €3.79 billion for Nokia's phone making business, plus another €1.65 billion to license its portfolio of patents. That's a total of around €5.44 billion (around $7.2 billion), a lot less than the $8.5 billion Microsoft paid for Skype back in 2011. Nokia expects the total transaction price will be "slightly higher," and the company plans to provide full details next week during its financial results. The deal sees Microsoft take control of more than 90 percent of all Windows Phones with Nokia's Lumia lineup, and the company will also acquire the low-end Asha brand, Android-based Nokia X handsets, and feature phones. The Redmond-based software maker will now morph into a hardware maker responsible for shipping more than 200 million handsets a year with an additional 25,000 employees moving across from Nokia.

Microsoft is planning to use the "Microsoft Mobile" moniker for the Nokia phone business, running it as a separate subsidiary where the vast majority of employees making the switch won't be making the physical move to Redmond. It's a significant acquisition for Microsoft and it's clear the company wants to keep the incoming Nokia business slightly separate before it can tackle the complex task of fully integrating its new phone making skills into the firm. To highlight that complexity, Microsoft CFO Amy Hood admitted on the company's Q3 earnings call yesterday that deal closure "is about four months later than the deal economics that we outlined in September." Microsoft was clearly aiming for January, and even publicly committed to completing by March, but regulatory approvals and other issues pushed the deal back. As a result, the original deal had Microsoft acquiring Nokia’s Korean manufacturing facility and an Indian handset plant, but neither will be fully acquired. An ongoing tax dispute means Nokia will continue to operate its Indian manufacturing plant on a contract to Microsoft

Identify whether app is native 8.1 app

Assassin's — Tue, 22 Apr 2014 18:54:22 +0800

For an 8.1 app, you can no longer mash the back button to exit the app (detailed here). So I wonder if we could use this to identify whether an app is a native 8.1 app or just an old 8.0 app

Here's the list of app of native 8.1 app :

First Party App (by Microsoft)
- Battery Saver
- Calendar
- Diagnostics
- Games*
- Music*
- OneDrive*
- Podcast
- Video*

Third Party App :
- Clock Hub
- Facebook
- Pocket Recorder
- TimeMe Tile
- HERE Maps*
- HERE Drive+*
- HERE Transit*

( * : It's listed as an WP 8.1 app but does close when pressing back, currently figuring it out)

Useless laptop built-in feature

Assassin's — Thu, 03 Jan 2013 18:42:39 +0800

I'll say it's the built-in microphone. Left it disabled on the BIOS settings all the time. Didn't even realised my laptop had one and where it's located until I read my laptop's manual.
