How do you add/delete an account in Windows Phone

So how do you add/delete an account from your windows phone? Be it Facebook, twitter, email, etc. This wasn't possible in the initial release of the windows phone and the only solution was to hard reset your phone. Now, all you can do is, Go to Settings -> Swipe right to Applications -> People Scroll down to see a list of all your accounts on the phone. You can add an account from this screen, tap and hold to sync/delete an account.

An elegant way to detect IE and ancient versions

With browsers getting more awesome by the day, not all new features are supported in IE7, IE8 and sometimes even IE9 (ex: the FileAPI)

IE10 is pretty much on par with chrome, firefox, and the rest.

Sometime we do have to adapt our code to support older browsers. The question then arises, what is the most elegant way to detect ancient IE browsers.

The most obvious solution would be through jQuery, a simple if condition does the trick,

if($.browser.msie){ //handle ancient browser }

But, I personally don't see this as an elegant solution, also, we cannot really identify the browser version. Read a post by Paul Irish, which (according to me) tackles this problem in the best possible way, which is as follows,

<html class="">

This obviously can be modified as per one's preference. This not only gives us the browser version but is also quicker, easier and an elegant way to detect browsers (especially IE6/7/8/9).

Top apps for the Windows Phone 8

I've been using a windows phone 8 for about a couple of years now, and I find it a gazillion times more intuitive than other competitive OS's.

Listing down some must-have apps for your windows phone 8 device.

In no particular order,

1) MetroTube - ₹ 55, YouTube. Beautifully designed. The #1 TOP rated YouTube app on the marketplace!

A "free" alternative to MetroTube would be YouTube Plus

2) Camer360 - FREE, probably the best camera app available on windows phone 8.

3) Photosynth - FREE, Photosynth takes a simple idea and adds a whole lot of fun to it. With photosynth you can take interactive panorama images. Although the learning curve is slightly high, once you get the hang of it, you'll end up "photosynth-ing" everything

4) Toggle - FREE, Toggle lets you access most-needed setting at your fingertips, from WiFi, to airplane mode, to bluetooth, they have it all. Yes, there are other apps that do the same thing, but this one is just "prettier".

5) Toshl - FREE, The BEST money monitoring/managing app. ever !

6) Weave - FREE, Weave is a news reader, but the design and the user-experience is what puts it above it's competitors.

7) 627 .AM - FREE / Paid (₹ 80), is an attractive and intuitive daily assistant. It includes a wake-up alarm, as well as the daily temperature forecast, and the ability to create notes for the morning’s chores.

8) FlashLight - FREE, A simple yet powerful flash light application.

9) Foursquare - FREE, Need I say more? and with the improved design makes this a MUST HAVE (if it wasn't already)

10) Png2Jpg - FREE, A handy application, because, once you take screenshots on your phone, they're (by default) saved in .png format, which makes it "un-share able" on popular apps including whatsapp.

Will keep adding to this list, I'm looking at NOT listing the obvious apps like whatsapp, twitter, facebook, etc)
