On November 10, 1983, it all started… not with a big bang, but a whisker that defined the industry in the years to come.

Yes, thirty years ago, Bill Gates announced 'Interface Manager' at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

A preproduction unit of the Nokia Lumia 1520 for AT&T is currently listed on eBay for $575. While preorders already started, the Lumia 1520 will not officially be available to the public until November 22nd. The seller, surfacedude, has 271 feedbacks and 100% ratings. He writes in the listing description:

This is a preproduction device. Final design hardware and software. It is just a network test device. 

The preproduction Nokia Lumia 1520 being sold on eBay is black with 16GB of internal storage. Starting November 22nd, you can head over to an AT&T or Microsoft store to get it in matte black, matte yellow, matte white or glossy red. Who's going to press the 'Buy It Now' button and possibly get the device earlier than everyone else?

Deccan Chronicle is the third largest English newspaper in India in terms of readership and circulation, and very popular in South India. The publication's official app has now arrived on Windows Phone.

While the app gives you free access to all content, including news, photo galleries, and opinion columns at Deccan Chronicle, it disappoints in user experience. Honestly, I've seen better mobile websites.
