After the disappointment of the failure to update to version 8 of the operating system, other problems seem to arise for users of the previous generation of Windows Phone devices: let's take stock of the situation.
It is the first international agreement of its kind between a manufacturer of mobile devices and a provider of solutions applied to electronic payments.
It takes the form of new chips embedded in mobile phones and Samsung preloaded with the application of Visa payWave. Credit and financial institutions can enter the account information for payment by remote control using the mobile phone service of Visa those selected NFC devices, typically equipped with wireless connectivity.
In January of last year Visa approved models of Samsung, LG and BlackBerry use their own technology payWave. Since then I have started testing on electronic payments within the phone company Optus and Vodafone.
Financial institutions what they think? Antipodes trials are reality. Banks Westpac and ANZ have verified mobile payments using smartphones Galaxy S III with a chip inserted SIM card. Commonwealth Bank has completely missed the test considering them too expensive. Westpac conducted its own tests with MasterCard, Visa's main competitor.

Although Windows offers a wide range of characters, users end up smarter install additional files to use other fonts in their documents.
The problem of Office documents is that, by default, does not contain an integrated copy of the characters used in them. That is why, when we deploy a particular document, we usually convert it to PDF. In this way, in fact, we make sure that your file retains in all respects its pagination, including the fonts that are placed in the container of the document.
With the Microsoft suite is not possible to do the same thing in Word documents. The file will be slightly larger, but integrate the fonts used and will be displayed faithfully even on computers that do not offer them by default.
Open Word, click on Office Button (or the word File), and then click Options. Open the Rescue.
Click on Embed fonts in the file, then Embed only the characters used in the document (shown to reduce the file size). Before you press OK you have to decide whether we want this setting applies to all documents or only the current one. We can configure this option from the drop-down menu labeled Loyalty in case of sharing. At this point, we close the window with OK.
At this point, once our document is ready, save it be also integrated the characters.
What is the impact on the size?
In the screenshot below you can see the same file for comparison. Left without embedded fonts, right with the characters in the document.
It should be noted therefore that the font used affects the size depending on how many you use.
How does it work exactly?
Before concluding the discussion it should be clarified how this speech from the technical point of view, more than anything else to clarify the topic "license." Can be integrated in the documents for the redistribution of fonts with proprietary license?
The answer is yes. The fonts are not incorporated in full, but it is only fit a set composed of the actual characters used in the document. Furthermore, the character is inserted in an encoded format (odttf) and then would still not be directly usable.
If you want to know more, to know that a docx file is just a container in the form of archive of a number of elements that make up the final document. Check out a document with a program like 7-Zip would produce a set of files like this, where in the directory word and turn fonts contains the embedded fonts.
And with Office 2003?
The operation can also be done in Office 2003. Open the menu Tools, choose Options, bring in the Save.
Select the Embed TrueType fonts and make sure that the two boxes Embed characters in use only and Do not incorporate standard system fonts are also selected.

When, in June 2012, Microsoft announced the new full-bodied that were introduced in Windows Phone 8, a new release of the mobile operating system of Redmond, also stated the impossibility of upgrading to this version of the devices sold to then with Windows Phone 7 and 7.5.
The company, however, had left a glimmer of hope to the holders of such terminals, promising a separate update, called Windows Phone 7.8, which would have been distributed globally to all the "old" devices sometime after the release of Windows Phone 8, and that would lead a not very clear selection of changes in version 8 also older devices.
The "7.8-story"
At that time few could imagine how bad it would have been handled the distribution of Windows Phone 7.8 from the Microsoft partner after the conference in June, the company has in fact provided few details about the features and tempostiche provided for updating , and the main producers, with the notable exception of Nokia, gave directions very inaccurate and incomplete in this regard, even denying, in many cases (especially from HTC and LG), the availability of updates for its terminals helping to create a situation of great uncertainty and confusion.
On 31 January, with more than 3 months late on the launch of Windows Phone 8, began rather quietly (with no official statement from Microsoft), the deployment and, above all, this occurred in global mode for all devices with Windows Phone 7.x (including those for the end of 2010): it seemed that finally the 7.8-story was destined to end with a "happy ending."
However this did not happen: despite the novelty implemented by the update were not particularly numerous and its distribution has been carried out, as usual Microsoft, 'banded' (10% of the devices in the first week, 25 % the second, the third, and only 50% after 100%), in order to have more control over the appearance of any problems, already a few days after the beginning of the roll-out, various users have started to complain some malfunctions associated with updating.
Some of these were only temporary (mainly problems with the Marketplace application), while others still remain on a variety of devices (problems with live tile, animated icons features of Windows Phone, some slow to start applications from the Start Screen, decrease in the duration of the battery and consumption abnormal traffic data).
Personally, I have found only occasional slowdown in the launch of some applications, a few minor problems to the system of review of the app on the Store and questionable changes to the management of the system volume (every time decreased intensity in 19/30, ostensibly to by a European regulation in this regard), but for the rest of the system works as and better than before (Nokia Lumia 710).
The last news: deploy suspended?
A re-render unclear the picture we thought a news released in the last hour: according to reports on the forum on by an employee of Vodafone Germany, Microsoft (that centrally manages the update for all devices, regardless of manufacturer / operator) seems to have suspended the deployment.
At the moment it is not clear what are the reasons for the suspension or official news are available by Microsoft and it is always good to "take pinch" the information provided by the media channels (Facebook, Twitter, forums etc.. ..), but that something did not go the right way in the development and deployment of Windows Phone 7.8 is evident.
I personally believe that the interruption of deployment is the right choice until the problems of Windows Phone 7.8 will not be finally resolved, but it would be particularly appropriate that the Redmond company decides to shed light on the matter officially, considered that management of this kind is not good for either the forum or users and developers who believe in the ecosystem of Microsoft.
