Question by cheese cake: How can i upload pictures straight from the internet on my samsung focus windows 7 phone? I want cute images from the internet so how can I download them straight to this phone
Best answer:
Answer by bw022Microsoft has a free 25GB of online storage via their SkyDrive. All you have to do is sign up for your (free) Live account and then the SkyDrive. You can then use it to upload via and view them from any web-browser. You have to view them through a web-browser, but it is great for sending links if you need to.
There are also options in WP7 to automatically upload camera pictures to SkyDrive so you have a backup. This is one way only, but still useful.

Does the Xbox One actually require an internet connection? Will used game buyers or sellers have to pay an extra fee? Microsoft hasn’t made it clear, but a report at Polygon now claims that the answers are “yes” and “no” respectively. According to the publication’s sources, Xbox One games will phone home to Microsoft servers on a regular basis to verify that their users own the games. If you buy a used title, however, Polygon claims that you won’t have to pay Microsoft for a fresh license to the game.
Simply popping in the game disc and installing it will reportedly establish lawful ownership as far as Microsoft’s servers are concerned. When you install the game on your Xbox One, you’ll be deauthenticating it on the previous owner’s…

Twitter’s video-sharing app, Vine, has been used for a variety of teasers, including a Wolverine movie, a TV series, and the new Daft Punk album. Keen to promote its Internet Explorer browser, Microsoft is taking to Vine to create some entertaining and unique six-second sequences. In a series of “not your father’s browser” clips posted to its browser you loved to hate site, Microsoft is once again poking fun at the perceptions of its old web browser.
The vines depict a relationship between old Internet Explorer and his son, modern Internet Explorer. One shows Internet Explorer 10 celebrating the news that he’s adopted. Another includes a bluescreen when old Internet Explorer attempts to rotate, a modern feature of Internet Explorer 10….
A leaked copy of Windows Blue suggests Microsoft may finally be ready to embrace WebGL in its Internet Explorer browser. To this point — and even with the impressive (and creepy) tech demos we’ve seen that showcase the web API — the company has refrained from enabling WebGL in IE. In June 2011, Microsoft justified its stance by calling out a number of security concerns related to WebGL, which allows a browser to run graphically intensive applications without installing extra plugins. “Browser support for WebGL directly exposes hardware functionality to the web in a way that we consider to be overly permissive,” wrote the company’s Security Research & Defense team. “We believe that WebGL will likely become an ongoing source of…
While most of the world is still coming to grips with malware and weaning itself off of IPv4, we’re just learning that China has been thinking further ahead. A newly publicized US Navy report reveals that China’s new internet backbone revolves around an IPv6-based architecture that leans on Source Address Validation Architecture, or SAVA. The technique creates a catalog of known good matches between computers and their IP addresses, and blocks traffic when there’s a clear discrepancy. The method could curb attempts to spread malware through spoofing and tackle some outbreaks automatically — and, perhaps not so coincidentally, complicate any leaps over the Great Firewall. Even with the existence of that potential curb on civil liberties, the improved backbone could still keep network addresses and security under reasonable control when China expects that over 70 percent of its many, many homes will have broadband in the near future.

I do however use a USB internet stick that I usually plug into my MAC and everything works fine. I want to use this for my iPad as well from when I travel. I know they have an adaptor for pictures that uses USB but will that work for internet aswell?
Best answer:
Answer by TommyBoyI’m sorry, no it will not work. The way apples IOS is configured, the USB adapter will only recognize camera cards and such. It is not set up to work with anything else like you internet USB card. That is why Apple sells the 3G model of the ipad. This feature may have a calling in the jailbreaking world of IOS, but as of yet, no. You are in luck though…if you have a 3G/4G smartphone that has Wi-Fi hotspot capabilities (turns your phone into a wireless hotspot/router) you will be able to surf the web on your ipad on the go. You just need to see if your mobile carrier has charges for that, some do and some don’t.
Hope this helps.!

I’m looking for the cheapest thing that can access wifi networks that has a screen at least as big as an iPod touch.
Best answer:
Answer by SteveOSamsung Galaxy Tab or Motorola Xoom if you want to pay for a data plan every month. I’m not a big fan of carrying around an iPad in public. An iPod Touch would work just fine if you want to fork out the cash for that instead of buying a tablet, which is really your only other option after the smartphones out right now.

Seattle may have lost its high-velocity hoops team, but that doesn’t mean it’s satisfied with anything but speedy internet. The city has come to an agreement with Gigabit Squared (GB2) to build an unnecessarily wordy “fiber-to-the-home/fiber-to-the-business broadband network.” With the University of Washington taking care of “community leadership” (as part of the Gig. U initiative), GB2 plans to utilize Seattle‘s excess fiber infrastructure, and create more, to deliver new internet options in three ways. In addition to the wired fiber network, the Gigabit Seattle project sees the development of a “dedicated gigabit broadband wireless umbrella” for beaming up to 1 Gbps from radio transmitters to others in direct view, as well as municipal WiFi-like services.
At this stage, only 12 “demonstration” areas are earmarked in the proposal, although the radio-based wireless “umbrella” has the potential to extend that coverage. Gigabit Squared now needs to find the cash to get going if it wants to meet the distant operational target of “year-end 2014.” It’s worth remembering that plenty of city-wide internet initiatives have failed before this one, and only a Memorandum of Understanding and a Letter of Intent have been signed by all the involved parties — agreements which aren’t necessarily binding. Full details of the plan are available in PR form and at the source link below, or if you’re done with prose, a map of the 12 demo neighborhoods hopefully getting hooked up can be found after the break.
