It was. That author is CP member. Initially it was free but later not. We just noticed that some new members're posted questions(regarding license) in Q/A section & the article's forum. Now that article marked has been deleted.

OK, I see.
I am not a licensing expert, but I don't think you can charge for something that is derived from MIT License.

I was about to start learning that but unfortunately that's not free anymore.

Hi.
I'm going to buy a Lumia phone. One of my friend suggested me Nokia Lumia 1320.
Can you guys plz add your inputs & suggestions.
Thanks.
Mohammed Hameed.

1320 is a nice phone. The screen has bit lower resolution when comparing with the screen-size (same thing with the 625), but other than that it's a good device.
I would suggest you to spend 6-7k Rupees more and consider 925. It's a very nice phone, also it has a perfect manageable screen-size and a great camera. (IMO: 1320 / 1520 are big phones, but that's a personal preference).
I you are not much into the gaming (< 1 GB ram), 720 is a nice budget phone with a long lasting battery life (2 full days on a single charge).
And if you want to consider cheaper Android phone, take a look at the Moto G. (much better than the cheaper and terrible Samsung galaxy phone lineup)

I haven't seen any for it; but reviews of it's high end sibling the 1520 complained that instead of being an all more small stuff for young geeks with good eyes or an all large print for old people phablet that WP8 ended up being a mishmash of the two paradigms that was unlikely to make either group happy. Supposedly the next WP update is going to fix this; but I'd be cautious about buying a WP8 phablet until I knew which way they went (or if they made it user configurable).

"Information wants to be free" - Stewart Brand
<more complete quote>
First hackers conference 1984:
"On the one hand information wants to be expensive, because it's so valuable. The right information in the right place just changes your life. On the other hand, information wants to be free, because the cost of getting it out is getting lower and lower all the time. So you have these two fighting against each other."

I think they're delusional. A downlink only service is going to be limited to the same sort of push only content as traditional media. And while they talk about adding a future uplink capability for phones/tablets, the significantly higher power levels required (vs cellular service are why modern satellite phones have form factors that look more like a 20 year old brickphone than a last generation dumbphone while having talk times that are much shorter than anything else that's been in the market in a long time, make the idea implausible at best.

 I'm missing something... Does anybody understand how this wood (pun intended) be appealing?
http://news.msn.com/science-technology/how-the-internet-of-things-could-make-media-physical-again
I prefer to remove clutter from my life and not have to keep track of wooden tiles. I say throw them in the pellet stove and be done with it.
Now maybe if the medium was a little cooler... like the crystals Superman used in the fortress of solitude. That has a coolness factor, but scrabble tiles... I don't think so.

It'd be appealing to anyone who's afraid for the word "virtual". It's useless, but at least it's physical.

The landscape is a mess so it is hard to find the answer from a Spec sheet, especially since RT can't install apps unless from Windows Store but:
It occurred to me that a Windows Tablet could be ideal for a simple manufacturing processing that I am putting together. If I could plug one up to multiple printers via USB (not cloud new fangled magic), and run a permanent power line (via USB is fine) and connect to WiFi, and install my own custom app without requiring internet access then I would have a brilliant touch screen interface for the line! Problem is, I don't get the feeling that all of this will "work" on the lower-end models. (If I had to pay PC prices I would just buy a PC)
Does anyone Own a Windows tablet that is capable of the above? I would prefer no speculation since the only real way to know is to buy one. Especially, since so many only have 1 USB port.

The big problem with this is the sideloading of apps. Under Windows 8.1, sideloading is still a problem. There are so many restrictions/complications as to beggar belief. Details here[^].
|
|
|
|
|
Yeah, I wanted to avoid all that mess and just use .NET apps which I assume Windows 8 supports?
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, but they still have to be sideloaded if you're running them on RT. Sorry.
|
|
|
|
|
8.1 != RT?
Some tablets are 8 and 8.1 and some are RT right?
|
|
|
|
|
8/8.1 is the Windows version number. RT is the nomenclature for devices/editions that only run Windows store apps. If the tablet is running Pro (or higher), then it's not RT. You see, that's the problem with the whole "rebrand" that they did. It's just too damned confusing - and I deal with W8 just about every day.
