How to go about deleting accounts of a deceased person

My brother has 2 email accounts set up with live.com - he passed away April 3, 2014 and I didn't know if it automatically closes after non-use after a period of time or is there some type of request that needs to be made to close them? He gave me the password for one of them and I got in it for him once from my computer before he died, but I was not able to sign in at this time? Please let me know. My email is <Mod Edit personal e-mail removed>
Thank you.

HTC One M8 Windows 10 overheats while doing nothing

Does anyone have an idea as to why my HTC One would overheat while just sitting? No programs running, it isn't in my pocket, it will simply be sitting on the desk, and will decide to heat up.

other dual sim phones?

Are there any other phones beside the 950xl that have the dual sim and a separate micro SD card slot? Some have dual sim, but one of the slots have to be used as either a sim.slot or card slot. Wondering if there is another phone like the xl, with dual sim and micro SD. Doesn't have to be window model either, android would be fine too. Thanks

With the ever-growing number of apps and games in the Windows Store, it is becoming increasingly difficult to keep up with what's out there.

Mobile Nations Weekly: Ludicrous zero-day nougat


Android goes to 7, Apple goes to the repair kit, and Tesla goes for maximum speed.
Android 7.0 Nougat is finally here! … if you have a Nexus phone. If using a modern Nexus phone, it might be a while before you get the update — or never. But does that really matter?
Apple found itself in sticky security waters following the disclosure and prompt patching of a trio of particularly nasty zero-day exploits. What's more terrifying than these sort of "fix it immediately" exploits is who is making them: private malware firms that cater to governmental desires for ever-more-prying eyes. Thankfully, Apple did the right thing and moved fast to patch their products.
The long-awaited HP Elite x3 is finally here. Kind of. Almost. But Windows Central got one and went hands-on with the latest and greatest Windows Phone anyway. It's the first Windows Phone to tout both a fingerprint scanner and an iris scanner, and all sorts of high-powered bits.
The Tesla Model 3 is set to start at $35,000. Tesla's newest Model S option, the P100D, starts at $134,500. It's just a small difference. But that P100D is the quickest production car on the planet, making it to 60mph in a dizzying 2.5 seconds. If you can afford it… and the inevitable speeding tickets.
So you're interested in getting into VR, but which headset should you be donning? VRHeads sits down and looks at the desktop-class options to figure out which is better: HTC Vive or Oculus Rift?. It's a tough call with how many variables are at play here, but rest assured that both are pretty damn cool.
