This was justified with Windows Phone 8.1. Not so with this update (er, Update), which I tried on the Lumia 1520 phablet (it wasn't available yet for our Nokia Icon test phone). It adds a nice feature or two, but nothing earth-shattering. Mark Hachman Opened folders appear as a small icon at top, with contents grouped below. When compressed, the icons shrink down and live in the folder.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   Hewlett-Packard slams ex-Autonomy exec, says it will sue Hewlett-Packard has fired back at a former Autonomy executive who is attempting to block the settlement of a number of shareholder lawsuits filed over HP's disastrous acquisition of the infrastructure software vendor.HP bought Autonomy in 2011 for more than US$10 billion, but later wrote off $8.8 billion of the purchase price after discovering what it called serious accounting irregularities on the part of Autonomy prior to the deal.Ex-Autonomy Chief Financial Officer Sushovan Hussain filed a motion in June over the shareholder cases, arguing that a settlement would prevent the truth from being revealed, namely HP's "own destruction of Autonomy's success after the acquisition."To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   How NOT to handle negative online reviews The "Streisand Effect" is in full force after the New York Post reported the Union Street Guest House hotel "charges couples who book weddings at the venue $500 for every bad review posted online by their guests." Before it hit the fan and the Internet responded with a flurry of bad PR, the hotel's website stated the following policy for online reviews: If you have booked the Inn for a wedding or other type of event anywhere in the region and given us a deposit of any kind for guests to stay at USGH there will be a $500 fine that will be deducted from your deposit for every negative review of USGH placed on any internet site by anyone in your party and/or attending your wedding or event. If you stay here to attend a wedding anywhere in the area and leave us a negative review on any internet site you agree to a $500 fine for each negative review. (Please NOTE we will not charge this fee &/or will refund this fee once the review is taken down). Talk about backfiring. Union Street Guest House now has a one-star rating on Yelp. For today alone, August 4, the hotel has thus far received over 500 one-star ratings, spread out over 15 pages…and it may well exceed that, but that's when I stopped counting.To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here Read More   TechTip: Using 'track changes' to avoid proofreading confusion   TechTip: Using 'track changes' to avoid proofreading confusion If you've had friends proofread a paper or resume then you know how confusing their changes can get.
