T-Mobile merger with Sprint looks more likely as Softbank and Deutsche Telekom agree on sale
by Guest Derek Kessler- 0 replies
- 296 views
Softbank is making an end-run around concerns about a merger of Sprint and T-Mobile US by instead hitting up T-Mobile's parent company Deutsche Telekom. As reported by Japanese news agency Kyodo, Japan-based Softbank has entered into an agreement with Germany-based Deutsche Telekom to buy the latter's ownership stake in US carrier T-Mobile. The US Federal Communications Commission and Department of Justice have expressed their concerns about the potential for such consolidation in the US cellular market, and the move by Softbank would likely end up still being heavily scrutinized. The end result (a Sprint/T-Mobile merger) would likely still be the same, though this m…

by Guest Windows Apps Team- 0 replies
- 123 views
This blog was written by Himadri Sarkar, Program Manager, Windows Networking Starting with Windows Phone 8.1, you can call the Windows Runtime API for background file transfers from Windows Phone Silverlight 8.1 based applications. In this post, I’ll introduce you to that API and the reasons why you’ll want to migrate your Windows Phone app to use it. One of the most common cases in which you want your apps to run in the background is to perform a large file transfer to or from the cloud. Since Windows Phone 7.1, the Windows Phone operating system has provided the background transfer service (BTS) for this purpose. (The BTS API is in the Microsoft.Phone.BackgroundTra…

Windows 7 Clean Install
by Guest ksbsr6gn- 0 replies
- 261 views
Hello, I have a machine at home which I bought from Dell in 2009. It's a Precision T7500 server. I use it for audio and video projects which is one of the things for which it was designed. It came with Vista on it. About a month after I bought it, Dell started mailing out free Windows 7 discs if you had purchased your pc before a certain date, and need-less-to-say, I missed the date by about a week. So, I had to go buy a Windows 7 upgrade at $219 and install it on top of Vista. Since I did that, my pc runs like a dinosaur. I had asked if there was a way to do a Clean install of Windows 7, and I have been told that in order to install Windows 7 again, I have to inst…

But it's only 80GB and I'm worried about future space (24GB left). In light of that, over the past year, I have also been installing some additional apps on to the E: drive (a WD Raptor 600GB) when given the choice. There appear to be about 10GB in the 2 win program folders on E: and less than 1GB of User files on there. I have a 240GB SSD and want to partition it as about 160GB C: and 80GB E:. If I clone all of the C: onto SSD partition 1, can I simply copy "program files" and "p f (x8…
