Windows Phone is dead.

Originally shared by Peter Vogel

Windows Phone is dead.

That was pretty much all-but-confirmed in Microsoft's latest quarterly report. All that remains is for the company and CEO Satya Nadella to file a death certificate. Whether that comes before or after a rumoured Surface Phone, who knows?

With just 1.1% of the smartphone space, Windows Phone is no longer viable for apps developers. It is finished.

I'd say "dead" might be a bit strongly worded.

Originally shared by Andreas Proschofsky

I'd say "dead" might be a bit strongly worded. Still: The last quarter was a devastating one for Windows Phone / mobile Windows. Sales went down a staggering 57 percent. This is especially troubling because the new Lumias were introduced last quarter. Personally I'm not overly surprised given that it was pretty obvious for quite some time now that Microsoft is shifting its focus away from mobile Windows (though there is a very vocal minority who comes out in force if you dare to say so ;) ). Also when playing around with the Lumia 950 / XL I pretty quickly got the feeling that this is a device where the manufacturer stopped caring about it at some point during development. Releasing it with such unfinished software seemed like a "Let's get over with this" kinda statement to me.
Having said that: Will be interesting to see what all that means for the rumored Surface Phone - and how seriously MS is going to take this one. Also I wonder if any mobile Windows devices by other manufacturers will actually make it to market (given that MS reportedly has told its partners that they are not going to continue mobile Windows on ARM)

Cosmic Dance || New Zealand

Cosmic Dance || New Zealand

There are certain times as a photographer when events line up in perfect harmony. In this case, I was very fortunate to be in the Aoraki Mackenzie Dark Sky Reserve near Lake Tekapo New Zealand with a crystal clear sky coinciding with a new moon. This gave me a wonderful opportunity to capture an enormous amount of stars streaking across the pristine sky. 

I love shooting star trails because I feel as though it creates a very powerful mood in my imagery. Obviously, having a strong foreground element is a big part of the puzzle when trying to create an immersive scene, and the Church of the Good Shepherd has become an extremely popular location for this type of photography. Being that it’s such an awesome looking old stone structure, it’s easy to see why so many stargazers and photographers love this spot so much. 

For everyone who’s downloaded my Photographing The World: Cityscape, Astrophotography, and Advanced Post-processing video tutorial on Fstoppers, you’ll just know this photo as Lesson 18. ;)

Turns out Facebook has been deliberately crashing their Android app for some users to test their patience (and see after which threshold the remove the app). Also at one point they tried a test run with "a small country" where all the users there were asked to install the Facebook app from a web link instead of the Play Store.
As much as I get the virtues of A/B testing - this is taking it a "bit" far....
