Imagine a boss at a company with a really great salesperson who lands all the best, highest valued customers for the company. Now imagine that boss hates having to pay that salesperson their really high commission, even though it's the salesperson who's closing all those deals and ensuring all that money comes to the company. The boss can't afford to lose that salesperson but they're desperate to find anyway they can to cut that salesperson's commissions. Likewise, the salesperson knows their value and insists on being richly compensated for the deals they close. That's the relationship between the carriers and the iPhone, and between the price carriers pay Apple for the …

As part of Apple's renewed push on its environmental strategy it has taken out a full page ad in the British newspapers today that has a not so subtle dig at Samsung in the process. It was first noticed by David McClelland in the Metro and reported via Twitter: Apple ad on back cover of this morning's Metro: 'There are some ideas we want every company to copy'. pic.twitter.com/RNbgBNtjHZ — David McClelland (@DavidMcClelland) April 22, 2014 The reference to Apple's seemingly never ending lawsuits with Samsung is obvious, but the more important message is the environmental responsibility push. Apple is making a big deal of it. Maybe others will follow. Source…

I'm trying to migrate settings from my old XP to a new Win 7 machine. I want to use the Network method. I'm at the step where I've taken a USB drive that I installed Win Easy Transfer on and put it in my XP machine to get the network password/key to use on the new machine. After getting the network key/password from the old machine, I'm trying to remove the USB drive from the old machine and it seems as though migwiz.exe keeps running and won't let me remove the USB drive from the machine until I force migwiz.exe to stop running. This seems to stop the entire process of getting both machines on the network. Anyone know what is going on here. A further qualifier...I w…

Hello, I have Windows 8 Enterprise and I want to upgrade to windows 8.1. Windows 8.1 does not show up in the Store. I'm guessing this is because 8.1 isn't compatible with Enterprise. Can I downgrade to Windows 8 Core so I can get Windows 8.1? My PC did not come with Enterprise so I cannot use the Recovery partition. Any ideas? Continue reading...

I have a Samsung rv510 64-bit laptop.

I've had several interesting problems occur, and I am not sure the events are entirely coincidental. A couple weeks ago I did a restart on my computer and it came up saying that it couldn't read my hard drive. I restarted again with success and that even did not repeat. 1. Microsoft Security Essentials was working fine, but wasn't updating. It kept leaving me error codes. I tried a restart - didn't fix it. 2. I noticed that Windows Media Player wouldn't start... something about a wrong version number. A new install doesn't work, and I can't seem to uninstall. 3. I started doing some research and found that IExplorer is linked to it somehow. I normally use FF…

During the past week or so I've had automatic updates on two Win 8.1 PCs. My list of updates since 1 April 2014 shows mostly Win Defender bug list revisions and a new version of the Malicious Software Removal Tool. Yet despite making no other downloads except PDFsduring that period, I have two new problems: on one PC, it's a virus in Hotmail that prevents me using the Back arrow by interposing a false entry in the email list named "msapps.net.xxx" where "xxx" is some kind of identifier; and on the other PC, jiggling wavy boxes appear in Windows Explorer offering to fix software performance issues. I've never seen any thing like the first virus. I've fixed things in the p…
