  1. @thebookofdoodle They said they shut that off earlier today. Folks reporting it has stopped happening. Still going on for you?
  2. @mattbuchanan privacy
  3. @beckynagel Seems to be a week for it! :)
  4. @beckynagel I did a follow up tweet noting the change in the version numbers due to a typo. MS still hasn't responded re: this whole matter
  5. @beckynagel Yes. Original tweet and story said 5.2 (due to MS typos on their web site). But then I changed story later to say 5.1
  6. @sarahintampa Looks like Vic is taking some buzzword cues from MS, too... "fast and fluid"... hmm. where have i heard that one before? ;)
  7. @WinObs In the end, it seems it is SL 5.1. MS had typos on its site identifying it as 5.2. sigh.
  8. @agrua No. Just thanking folks for helping them hit 2 million fans on that page. That is all that means
  9. @techmeeup @jrbotana That used to be true for me. But lately my Bing results are just as good (not true on local searches, but on Web, yes)
  10. @techmeeup Yep. That was actually a big thing to test on folks without telling them! :)
  11. @bart_willeman Aha. New update from Nokia: "The Lumia 900 should be available in the UK early next week." No second delay, it seems
  12. @MikeTalonNYC In other words, Azure is better for brand-new projects and products than it is for ones not built expressly for it
  13. @MikeTalonNYC Maybe it's because they are building the ERP on Azure services from scratch and CRM Online already on own servers? (guessing)
  14. @ZuneTracks I think a number of people missed it that day. You aren't alone in asking about it
  15. False alarm: Dynamics ERP hosted on Azure in 2012 is a yes. But Dynamics CRM on Azure in 2012 seems like a no. Updated: zdnet.com/blog/microsoft…
  16. @ZuneTracks Yes it is: zdnet.com/blog/microsoft…
  17. @agrua What happened to your pic?
  18. @datisdesign I have no idea on that one. Maybe @kipkniskern knows?
  19. @rob_lindemann Thanks. Not sure if you saw, but they just said they are dropping this test due to overwhelming negative feedback
  20. @realAtomAce I think they got that message :)
