    Is it really that difficult or are developers just lazy

    Honest question. Is it really difficult to label a text box for what it is supposed to contain, I.E. email, phonr number, zip code etc? It really bothers me when I go to fill out an online form or a profile in an app and I get the wrong keyboard for the text box. I have played around with VS and I could always label the box for what it was supposed to contain. Is that not true in every case?

    Surface 3 Problems

    I have the following issues with my Surface 3 running Windows 10 Anniversary update

    Audio stops working  requiring a reboot

    Battery life is about half of what it was with Windows 8.1
