On WP8?

Yes, just tried it and it works awesome. I read that the WP8 app wasn't in HD but it looks pretty HD to me on my 920. Go to www.flixter.com to get started. Damn, I just gave away a butt load of my codes.
Come to think about it, you just need to find someone with a flixster account that has uploaded tons of codes. Log in with their account and you're good.
EDIT: flixster also has a DVD to digital promotion where if you own the DVD it will store a digital copy online for you. i just tried it and it worked on 3 of the 5 DVDs i tried. not all movies work and flixster will only give a promo for up to 5 DVDs. after that it's a $2-5 fee.

That would really suck to be that last guy on the team ...
I ask this in another thread but since you post here a bit and the only person here I know that have Venue Pro 8. I love the device and actually pick up two (one for my wife), however while she like IE11 well enough, the constant enlarging (magnify) of the browser when you touch it really drive her nut. Is there a setting for IE11 touch interface somewhere? I can't find it. It annoys me also but not enough for me to give up Steam and hearthstone. The touch seems really sensitive and webpage often get magnify randomly or swipe back really easy to (though I do love this feature).

Dang it Bing Translator why do you hate Japan? Another update with a bunch of new languages with camera translation supported, and still no Japanese. Even though the app icon uses Japanese.
And really camera translations are muuuuch more useful for Japanese than Norwegian, Russian, Dutch, or any of the other languages that just had camera support added. If you don't know what a Dutch word means it's easy to just type the word and look it up. But if you see a word you don't know in Japanese it could be something like this: 傘 Not only do you not know what it means, you might not even be able to tell how it's pronounced, and thus you can't even type it in to the app to look it up.

One day...One day they will allow Japanese camera and voice support. And when that day comes, I will be using that app daily to get a basic understanding of untranslated japanese media. ..Before that though, dont they still need Japanese map support?
Be sure to buy a mobile battery! the 3g DoCoMo dongle I carried with me drained my Lumia 920 battery FAST while I was using gmaps pro in Japan.

I do wonder what some of the rockstars think about that ...
lmao
You can typically find everything Electronics related in Akihabara or better yet, just find if there is a Yodobashi-Camera nearby. There is one right near Akihabara station.
Daaaamn.

I'm loving my WP8 machine right now.... HTC really kicked it out the park with the 8X.
My one complaint at the moment is the lack of Tinder on Windows Phone.... I have to resort to using my Tab2 to try and initiate sexy time instead (rather do it on my WP).
Vines came out for WP8 today also, cute.

Really hope Rudy doesn't stop updating 6sec, because the lag and inefficient layout is really annoying to me in the official app.
Also, what's the point of live tiles if I can't have more than 15 background tasks. And why does the background task for Facebook not turn on again even though I ticked the box.

My facebook app is also a bit wonky.. does the same thing.
It's still a beta build I think... best they got onto making it decent!
Nah, I've only installed the non-beta.
The Facebook apps on WP have historically not been too great.
Edit:
I'm sure there are other ways, but here's one way to send full res photos via mail (using Phriz.be)
Nokia Refocus is out!
My first super-simple attempt
Edit: First impressions:
-Works really well, although you have to be a bit careful about the setup of what you're trying to shoot. The layers have to be rather obvious.
-Sometimes you need to focus on something not as obvious to get the real effect. Like in the pic I shared, I at first didn't realize that it makes a big difference whether I focused on the sky or the building.
-Movement is somewhat noticeable, but not too annoying.
-Facebook sharing works quite well. Good options too.
-I bet the effect is even better on the 1020.
Gonna play around with it a bit today. Might post some in the Pureview thread too.

Now wonder you're so happy to please. If I had that view, I'd be happy about every single tiny positive thing as well. Yikes!
Haha, that's not a good impression, I agree. Looks much worse than it is, it's just framed in a way to work better with the app.
I usually don't have an alarm clock on my balcony's rail either
Edit: I am easily pleased, though.

Come on, Jon. It was a joke. :lol You know, because I'm always negative towards everything you do?

Here's my quickie attempt from my office. Will definitely do a bunch more this weekend: Office Plant
Pretty cool app.

I posted it on twitter. No idea why the direct link won't work.

I knew I was wrong to assume that you Germans had any humor in you.
Or you were wrong to assume that the contrast between being mean and being mean was noticeable enough!

I have the app and a few movies on the site. I just can't find where to stream them. What am I missing?

Thanks, I edited my original post.

Make sure you have the latest version of the app. Then there is a menu option called "my movies".

Hold on, friend! I'd love to share with you some swell news about the Windows 8 Metro UI! Wait, where are you going?
Yeah, I was surprised at the lack of HDR actually.
Considering they have an exposure bracketing setting in the camera, I have to assume that they are working on incorporating it.... I hope.
This one isn't fancy, but it's what I use when I need a stopwatch/timer.Someone recommend me a good stopwatch app that fits into Metro. The first few search results are kinda garish
Metro Stopwatch
Well, it's... okay, mostly ruined by ads. I'll get this one I guess.
Hate the font :x
Yeah, it's not a looker and I wish it didn't have the adds either but at least it's functional. It keeps running in the background as well if you need to do something else, not sure if other apps do that or not as this is the only one I've tried.

Timer is pretty good.

I have the latest version of the app but the my movies menu only has ratings and want to see sub-menus. Is it possible that it's a region thing?
Possibly as it's not appearing for me either.
