2016 bug hits Windows phones
,----[ Quote ]
| The date bug which is interfering with Aussie
| point of sale transactions has spread to some
| Windows mobile phones.
|
| The glitch means that text messages received
| since New Year's Eve will appear with a 2016
| date. Card scanners in thousands of Australian
| shops have also been hit, as we reported
| yesterday. Bank of Queensland systems, believing
| it was 2016, rejected most payment cards because
| they'd passed their expiry date.

| News Analysis: Microsoft has had an up and
| down kind of year. The company released
| Windows 7, but it also was forced to lay
| off 5,000 employees. While it introduced
| new security products, it's still fighting
| an uphill battle against security
| vulnerabilities. It jump-started its
| online efforts, but failed to improve
| Windows Mobile. We take a look at those
| things the company did wrong in 2009.

The Sad Decline of Windows Mobile
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft has been plugging away at the
| mobile computing market for almost as long
| as Windows has been around. I'm thinking
| of products like Windows for Pen
| Computing, or the original Windows CE for
| handheld devices. At best, you could say
| that the consumers were willing but the
| platforms were weak.

Will developers be the next battleground in smartphones?
,----[ Quote ]
| Microsoft is at risk of falling into last
| place in mobile phones if it doesn't do
| something about it. So what's the one
| strength Microsoft can bring to the table?
| Developers, developers, developers.
| They're one of the factors that has made
| Microsoft a success on desktops, and it
| might well play in the mobile space.
