[quote who="Island Dog" reply="50" id="3482667"] Live Lock Screen Beta from Microsoft was finally released last week.

Thanks for any clarification.
[quote who="Borg999" reply="49" id="3482724"] I say scrap morality and focus on ethics. Morality has too close an association with religion. [/quote] Since 'ethics' finds its root in the Greek word 'ethos' (moral character, habit, nature, custom) is there really a need to differentiate? Besides it's not like religion owns [I]morality[/I]. Hell if that were the case the world truly would be in a&nbs

[quote who="DrJBHL" reply="7" id="3482698"] Not always accurate. Because it's web sourced, and not actually tested by the WOT staff themselves, smear campaigns and paid negative reviews influence WOT both in the direction of 'false positives' (sites given falsely 'untrustworthy' reviews) and 'false negatives' (untrustworthy sites given falsely trustworthy reviews).

For me the whole [I]issue[/I] surrounding 'speech' and the [I]freedom[/I] (or not) thereof is much simpler. I see [I]speech[/I] as either having constructive or destructive properties.

Borg, Have you checked your windows logs? Not everything that is 'crashing' and/or 'faulting' causes a big window to pop up or present the user with a balloon notification etc. Make sure you sift through those logs and view everything at or around your system's boot-up to ensure there isn't a service or other system/application module faulting [I]silently[/I] in the background.

Brad, I agree with your OP. However, Lord Reliant posed a good question and in my experience the answer to that is "absolutely it does". Windows Phone does in fact address the issues you cited (at least for me) and as I've stated a few times in other threads is the perfect 'rounding out / compliment' to using Windows 8 on my desktop, notebook and tablet. To put it another way, I have never before felt as though I should c
