Nostalgia is a powerful thing. It has been the primary driving force behind all the major film and television releases in the last 10 years, such as with the Marvel and Star Wars film franchises. ZDNet's parent company, CBS, is no exception. It's been making quite a go of it -- taking advantage of that nostalgia trend by re-casting familiar iconic characters on Star Trek: Discovery on CBS All-Access. In CBS prime time, the revival of Hawaii Five-O is renewed for its 9th season. And now, so has Magnum, P.I., as if it was back from the dead, sans Tom Selleck's mustache.A bout of nostalgia A fondness for reviving old brands is happening with tech as well. Palm seems to think that people have the same attachment to tech legacies as we do stuff like Luke Skywalker and Mister Spock. But I digress. Most of the time, I feel that our fondness for the old comes from a frustration with the present and the complexities that often come along with it. We tend to look at old things, … [Read more...] about It’s time for Microsoft to bring Windows 10 Mobile back from the dead

Microsoft is warning users not to install rival Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers on Windows
MICROSOFT is testing a rogue pop-up that warns users not to use web browsers from rivals. The notice appears for Windows users when they try to install the Google Chrome or Mozille Firefox browsers. Instead of completing your download, it prompts you to open Microsoft Edge, the default browser for Windows 10. The message reads: "You already have Microsoft Edge – the safer, faster browser for Windows 10." There's then a big blue button that says "Open Microsoft Edge" and a smaller grey button that says "Install anyway". Below that is a message that says "Don't want to be warned in the future? Open settings." It's a creepy tactic by Microsoft to get you to stick with its own browser – rather than run off to the competition. That's no surprise: just 4.24% of desktop PCs use Microsoft Edge, compared to 67.63% for Chrome and 10.97% for Firefox. Microsoft's dodgy pop-up was first spotted by The Verge, and later confirmed to The Sun. Speaking to The Sun, a Microsoft spokesperson … [Read more...] about Microsoft is warning users not to install rival Google Chrome or Firefox web browsers on Windows

Imo, chrome is just an overhyped browser, I rarely use it posted on 22 Nov 2015, 14:18 9 2. Wiencon (Posts: 2187; Member since: 06 Aug 2014) I tried Edge on W10 but it was disaster IMO, I'll stick with Chrome, it may be cluttered but I have enough RAM to keep it running smoothly and no browser can beat it when it comes to add ons. On Android Chrome is the only choice IMO, but it's just because I find it very comfortable, I know people like other browsers too but idk. On iOS Mercury rules, fastest of all. I wonder how will Edge on WP10 behave, IE was everything but pleasant experience on WP8 posted on 22 Nov 2015, 14:34 5 5. elitewolverine (Posts: 5192; Member since: 28 Oct 2013) Dolphin for me on Android.
