Yes, the Metro apps cover email and calendaring, and connect quite easily to Exchange, Hotmail, Yahoo, and Google.
ghurlman··on Show HN: Responsivator - View/Share Responsive Sites
That BBC site isn't responsive at all... it's just a redirect to a mobile site.
ghurlman··on Microsoft Bans Halo 4 Pirates, and Some Idiots Absolutely Deserved It
Well, do either of your examples cause the experience of other networks users to degrade, when you've modded the content you're playing?
ghurlman··on Suddenly everyone wants New Yorker style content. Who is going to write it?
I'm pretty sure the article author meant "New York style" journalism, not stories written as if they belonged in the New Yorker magazine.

ghurlman··on 42% of US Internet Users Have a Facebook Account. For Twitter, It’s 16%

ghurlman··on Apple Maps: The FAQ
Swap out "Apple Maps" and "Google Maps" for "iPhone" and "Windows Phone", and you have a ready-made link for Gruber, with a snarky comment about "skating to where the puck was" ready to go.
ghurlman··on Is MS building a C# on JavaScript runtime?
I don't think JS ever registered in my mind as most ridiculed at all. If it was, it was just by folks that didn't know better.
ghurlman··on Is MS building a C# on JavaScript runtime?
Agreed - the real news here is that Anders Hejlsberg is doing something that not only isn't C#, but is JS-related. Surprising, and therefore immediately interesting.

Where's that headline changing mod, when you need him? ;)

ghurlman··on The Tablet Problem
Yes on all three counts, so far at least.

ghurlman··on After Carping About NBC’s Olympics Coverage, Journalist Suspended from Twitter
So, NBC and The Independent are screwing up, so blame Twitter?
ghurlman··on Peter Thiel’s startup class notes in PDF
How does this not violate the No Derivatives portion of the content license?
ghurlman··on No Credit for Uncle Sam in creating Net? Vint Cerf disagrees
So it probably would have happened anyway, therefore what did happen didn't happen?
ghurlman··on Marco Arment on Dropbox: Don't use it for anything valuable
If you buy the cloud version, you get the cloud stuff. There will be a standalone version that works like it's always worked.
ghurlman··on Marco Arment on Dropbox: Don't use it for anything valuable
You mean the preview that isn't licensed for production use? That Microsoft warns you away from using for anything useful? That preview?
ghurlman··on Office 2013: Microsoft's bid to win the future
Don't upgrade.

Needs just one more vote to reopen - I can't even figure the logic as to how this question is off topic in any way, shape, or form.
ghurlman··on Steve Jobs The Lost Interview is on iTunes, but don’t tell anyone, okay?

SharePoint Server and Groove only share enough code to make the Workspace product work.
ghurlman··on Microsoft agrees to $1.2bn purchase of Yammer

SharePoint Workspace, which is what Groove became is never used, anywhere.

ghurlman··on Microsoft agrees to $1.2bn purchase of Yammer
Alive, and used by practically no one.
ghurlman··on Apple Quietly Pulls Claims of Virus Immunity
I don't think it's a sign of Apple taking security seriously as much as it is a lawyer avoiding liability suits.
ghurlman··on Symantec throws up hurdles to independent software developers
No. There's nothing remotely resembling a monopoly here, just a garbage product.
ghurlman··on Twitter Completely Down
https://mobile.twitter.com/ is working just fine.
