Windows Phone is dead - You need to upgrade your smartphone today

Windows Phone 8.1 support has today ended.
Those who are still using a smartphone powered by Windows Phone 8.1, it’s time to upgrade the operating system.
Windows Phone 8.1 is still by far the most popular version of the mobile operating system, with some 70 per cent of Windows Phone devices running the outdated software.
Those who want to ensure their phone is updated with the latest security patches and features will now have to upgrade their phone to Windows 10 Mobile.

Unfortunately,  Mobile is not compatible with every smartphone capable of running Windows Phone 8.1.
 requires the majority of Windows Phone 8.1 users to install a separate app – dubbed Upgrade Advrisor – in order to execute the software upgrade.

Whether Microsoft will choose to push-out a Windows 10 Mobile update for all Windows Phone 8.1 owners is not yet known.
On the Windows 8.1 lifecycle support page, Microsoft clearly states it will release operating system updates and patches for a minimum of 36 months after the lifecycle start date, which was June 24th 2014.
Clearly, those 36 months have already passed.
“Microsoft will make updates available for the Operating System, including security updates, for a minimum of 36 months after the lifecycle start date,” the support page reads.
“These updates will be incremental, with each update built on the update that preceded it. Customers need to install each update in order to remain supported.

However there is clearly something missing from Microsoft’s impressive array of in-house devices – arguably the most important personal computing device of all, the smartphone.
Rumours of a high-end smartphone built by Corporate VP for Surface Computing Panos Panay and the team behind the Surface Pro 4, Surface Book and Surface Studio are nothing new.
Back in December 2015, it was reported that Microsoft had green-lit a .
Sources claimed Intel was heavily involved with the project and that it aimed to make a smartphone that bridged the gap between a phone and a mobile productivity device.
Many believe Microsoft still plans to launch its own smartphone.
And should the Redmond company ever decide to add a smartphone to its Surface range, we can be sure that it "will not resemble what we know and think of as a phone today," Mr Gavin told Business Insider.
CEO Satya Nadella made a similar comment back in November 2016.
Speaking to the Australian Financial Review, he said: “We will continue to be in the phone market not as defined by today’s market leaders, but by what it is that we can uniquely do in what is the most ultimate mobile device.
“We don’t want to be driven by just envy of what others have, the question is, what can we bring?
"That’s where I look at any device form factor or any technology, even AI."
Microsoft has never formally acknowledged the existence of a Surface Phone, although it has made several hints.

Us President Donald Trump’s decision to fire Comey is another win for Vladimir Putin

By
In his wildest dreams, Russian leader (and former Soviet intelligence officer) Vladimir Putin could have never imagined the extent of his success during President Donald Trump’s first five months in office. Trump’s move on Tuesday to terminate FBI Director James Comey puts another huge point on the scoreboard for Putin — especially given the FBI’s lead role in probing possible collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia. Truth be told, though, Russia’s already doing pretty well. In just a few months, Putin’s intrigues have probably influenced the outcome of an American presidential election and produced a basket of spoils for Mother Russia, including bitter feuds between the White House and the CIA, rifts between the US and its allies, damage to the American press’s legitimacy and public standing, a standoff between the White House and the federal courts over immigration orders, and the slow  sabotage  of American government through neglect and mismanagement.
