I still think MS (or anybody else) will need something totally revolutionary in order to push another mobile OS into the Android / iOS duopoly. From what I've seen of Windows Phone OSes they don't have it yet.
There are two types of people in this world: those that pronounce GIF with a soft G, and those who do not deserve to speak words, ever.

Squee!!! Another mobile platform so we can learn a whole pile of new proprietary information to develop an app.  It will be simple, of course.

Well if you write an Universal Windows App, it will run on the phone, the tablet, the laptop, and any other supported device

You will be unsurprised to hear that that went straight to the "probable spam" list!

I know. I saw that as soon as I posted it, then it disappeared.
I've been censored!! That's a really robust spam-checker there.

The concept has been announced, but still in development and thus may not arrive.
Planning currently has it being Intel based, and following the ideal of being a laptop on a phone. Form scale adopts, and (like the full surface) it supports 3 monitors when docked, an extension to the current Continuum model.
Look into the div previews of their bridge environments for examples (bridges are this current phase of mixing win10, ios and [was-to-be] android apps).
All subject to viability - and the halt on current phone push is to prevent backlash ... if you believe the spin  ... could also be as simply as they are not selling, lol

I think this is brilliant, because it shows just how insanely expensive travel is within the UK if you do not own a car.

It is funny how cultural differences show up for things like that.
I was listening to a radio show on the French CBC (Canada public Radio) and there was a lot of expletive language that was not censored or bleeped out.
I'd rather be phishing!

Nothing to do with cultural differences, and I have no big problem with it. However, the rules of the Lounge should prevail.

There's plenty of that on Radio-Canada (the TV network) at all hours of the day, even during prime-time when the kids are watching, and even during commercials promoting some of their own shows. And lets not even bring up the so-called stand-up comics.
Frankly, I think it makes the whole lot of them look like a bunch of tactless rednecks incapable of expressing themselves without reverting to profanity. And I say this as someone who's not afraid of making liberal use of all the French swear words.

I don't know if it's very creative, but I've noticed that it's usually cheaper to book train trips all the way between the start and end stations, than just a part of the distance.
|

Cheaper still to pre-book train tickets for the entire journey.

Having to regularly spend approximately £100 to travel anywhere from 100 to 300 miles I can very much believe this. They try and price us off the roads and into public transport that is even more expensive than our cars and is 1000 times more unreliable.

I know it's stupid money to travel, at the job I have at the moment I checked public transport just before I started.
A rail ticket and Bus ticket would cost me £500 per calendar month (the journey times were stupid leave home at 5 am to get to work at 9 and return home after 10pm).
But if I drive it costs me £55 a week to drive 80 miles a day.

Discounting road tax, insurance, servicing, incidentals (anti-freeze, windscreen fluid etc.), MoT, and maintenance presumably (on the basis that the AA says it's pretty much impossible to run a car for less than 18p a mile)?
