Motorola has just announced that the Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Moto X (2014) is currently rolling out on several U.S. carriers. Customers of Verizon, AT&T and U.S. Cellular can now access the update on their smartphones.
Last week, Motorola announced that the Moto X (2014) would be receiving an update to Android 5.1 Lollipop: "We are excited to announce a new software update for Moto X (2nd gen) by Motorola. This update brings Android 5.1 Lollipop to your phone along with other improvements. Android 5.1 Lollipop improves stability and provides better control over notifications."
Now, the company has confirmed that the Android 5.1 Lollipop update is currently rolling out in various stages on several top U.S. carriers. David Schuster, vice president of Product Sales and Operations at Motorola Mobile Devices Unit, has announced that the update is ready for customers of Verizon, AT&T and U.S. Cellular.
Schuster, who has acted as the defacto spokesperson for recent operating system updates on Motorola devices through his Google+ account, announced that the Android 5.1 Lollipop rollout for the Moto X (2014) on U.S. Cellular is now being fully deployed. The carrier published release notes for the update in May, and last week, Schuster confirmed the soak test for the device on the network, which was apparently successful enough to engage full deployment.
Schuster also announced that the previously announced soak test for the device on Verizon has been expanded, and Android 5.1 Lollipop is now available for open pull. "Open pull" means that users of the smartphone on the network can access the update manually via the settings menu.
A full soak test for the Moto X (2014) on AT&T was also announced to be deployed today, and then later, Schuster updated his notes to announce that the Android 5.1 Lollipop update on the network was also available for open pull.
The Android 5.1 Lollipop update for the Moto X (2014) will include fixes for various bugs and issues in addition to several performance improvements. The update will also include user device protection, which prevents anyone other than the owner signed in with their Google password, from using the device, even if the smartphone is factory reset.

Microsoft changes 'Outlook Web Access' to 'Outlook on the web'

By
The branding gurus are really earning their wages down Redmond way Outlook for the Web's new weather-enabled calendar app 14 5 Aug 2015 at 02:58,  Simon Sharwood Fresh from showing glimpses of the next-generation Outlook Web Access client in a preview of Exchange Server 2016 , Microsoft has now detailed just how the new version of the browser-bound Outlook will work. There's a new name for starters: “Outlook Web Access” is now “Outlook on the web”. Those marketers sure are earning their wage! Microsoft saying all the usual stuff about the revision making you more productive. The feature touted as making the greatest contribution to that cause is the new “Action toolbar” that “provides quick access to the most common commands, whether you are clearing out your inbox, replying to an email, or adding an event to your calendar.” One of the things you'll see on the toolbar, depicted below, is the “Sweep” command. That's come from Outlook.com and “provides a simple set of act...

Microsoft upgrades its Surface tablets to Windows 10

By
Consumers interested in buying one of Microsoft's Surface tablets will now find it with Windows 10 preinstalled. Microsoft's  online page  for its lower-cost Surface lineup shows that the tablet now comes with Windows 10 Home edition. The page for the pricier and beefier Surface Pro 3  indicates that they're outfitted with Windows 10 Pro edition. Microsoft has been on a tear to push out Windows 10, partly to make up for the poor response to Windows 8 and partly to get as many Windows users as possible all on the same platform. The company has been offering Windows 10 as a free upgrade to Windows 7 and 8.1 users for the first year. Last Thursday, Microsoft announced that the new OS was  running on 14 million devices  since its official launch the previous day. Now the challenge is to get PC and tablet makers to outfit their new devices with Windows 10. Microsoft certainly would want to lead the way, so it's natural for its own Surface tablets to now be sporting W...
