15 months after it converted YouTube Music into a Progressive Web App (PWA), Google has done so with its flagship YouTube web app as well.

Some eagle-eyed readers have noticed that I’ve moved to Microsoft Outlook on my smartphones, and there’s a good reason for that. It’s the best email client I’ve ever used. It’s so good, in fact, that I am curious why we can’t take advantage of its superior user experience on Microsoft’s core client platform, Windows 10.…

YouTube Music is apparently converting into a Progressive Web App (PWA) this week and adding support for native playback controls.

Google has announced the release of Chrome OS 77, which adds media management notifications, Family Link improvements, and more.

Chromebooks are often touted as a simpler and less expensive alternative to a Windows laptop. And that’s true, to a point. But many potential Chromebook users---especially older users and others who are familiar with Windows---will experience the same frustrations I do in making this switch because we have so many hardwired habits and requirements.  For sure, the basics are familiar.   Chrome OS boots into a desktop environment that has on-screen elements that look and work like the Start button and Start menu, the…

I was traveling last week when Microsoft announced its first preview release of the new Edge for Mac.

Happy Friday! Here’s a final Ask Paul for March, and another great set of questions from readers. Apple TV vs. Roku sabertooth920 asks: What is your set top box of choice, and what is your take on the Apple TV(device)? It doesn’t have the niche channels that Roku has, but it does offer a lot,…

Microsoft's new Office app is now available for everyone on Windows 10 via the Microsoft Store.

I had hoped that 2018 would be the year of the Progressive Web App (PWA). It could still happen, but the revolution is unfolding in slow motion, at least so far. Granted, I am the patron saint of PWAs. And despite a reputation for being negative, I'm really a pie-eyed optimist when it comes to…

A Microsoft employee incorrectly claimed that "all of Office 365" was being "completely rewritten" in JavaScript. All hell broke loose.

Leisurely. Is the only possible word one could use to describe the performance of Windows 10 on ARM today.

When it comes to traditional office productivity, Microsoft has no peer. But thanks to Google, it may also have no future. I know this one is going to be controversial in certain circles. And that's because Microsoft's office productivity solutions---let's just call it Office 365 to simplify matters---is more full-featured and powerful than any of…

Microsoft can't say this, of course. But it is clear that the introduction of PWA to Windows 10 and the Microsoft Store in Redstone 4 will effectively kill off the firm's native UWP efforts. But don't take my word for it. Even Microsoft is subtly nudging developers---who, by the way, have universally ignored UWP---to PWA…

Reality diverges wildly from theory when you actually try to use Windows 10 S. And here are a few basics to consider ahead of time.

Microsoft today announced the availability of the LinkedIn mobile app for Windows 10. But there are complaints from all corners.

Tech tidbits from around the web: Lawsuit claims Microsoft forced users to upgrade to Windows 10, Microsoft just revealed a new Windows 10 product version, Microsoft makes subtle but important change to Windows 10 hardware requirements, and much more.
