Trouble connecting to the internet? Internet is not working or you're offline? If you're are a Google Chrome user then you must be familiar with the T-Rex dinosaur that shows up when your computer is not connected to the internet.<br />
<br />
T-Rex had short arms so most of the things were out of its reach. The T-Rex represents Google Chrome's situation when it can't access the internet. The other interesting fact is that this offline dinosaur is also a game. When you're having trouble reaching to the internet, this game is the fun way to kill the time and lower your blood pressure. ;)<br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
It's been a long time since I have posted something due to my busy schedule. I wanted to let you guys know that I have bought a new Macbook Pro 13-inch with Retina Display and it's my first ever Macbook (even though I have Apple products like iPad, and iPod). All my previous posts mostly were focussed on Windows. So, today I thought to post something about Apple's new OS X Yosemite (version: 10.10.5). </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I was going through all the functions/commands of OS X Yosemite and found several features just opposite to Windows. I wanted to delete a file/folder completely from my system by bypassing the Trash but there was no option unlike in Windows OS where we can permanently delete a file/folder by pressing Shift+Del key and then pressing Enter key or by using mouse. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
In Apple that's not the case, as a user first needs to delete a file/folder by moving it to Trash, and then secondly going to Trash (Recycle Bin in terms of Windows OS) and then emptying the Trash.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, it takes a bit more time to delete any file/folder permanently from Apple's OS X. I was going through several blogs/forums/websites/video tutorials and I found one method at present that I like the most. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<h3 style="text-align: left;">
Which method then?</h3>
<div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>Open <b><i>Terminal Emulator</i></b>. How? Open your Launchpad and then search for 'Terminal', open it when you find it. </li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: Calibri; font-size: 12.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-ascii-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-bidi; mso-fareast-font-family: "MS 明朝"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-fareast; mso-hansi-theme-font: minor-latin;">Type "<b><i>rm</i></b>" then drag
and drop the file into Terminal to fill in the full file path, then hit enter.</span></li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li>You
can also do "<b><i>sudo rm</i></b>" if it whines about permissions. If it's a
folder, you'll have to use "<b><i>rm -r</i></b>" to recursively delete everything
inside the folder.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<i style="font-weight: bold;"> Note: "rm" </i>means to "remove".<br />
<br /></div>

Step 2: Drag and drop the file into Terminal (desktop in my case)</div>

Many hardcore computer users might think themselves above learning new tricks, but there's always new things to learn that will help improve your skills. Our bet: you will find at least one useful thing here that you didn't know before.<br /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">General Tricks:</span></b><div>
<br /><div>
Windows hidden "god mode" folder Windows offers a centralized Control Panel for all of the OS settings, which makes it easy for users to tweak everything from desktop background to setting up a VPN. To enter this mode, create a new folder with this exact name (copy and paste it): <b>God Mode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}</b>. The folder icon will change to a Control Panel-style icon, and you will be able to jump in and change all kinds of settings. Note: Don't try this on Windows Vista 64-bit as it's known to cause a reboot loop.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="196" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/god-mode.png" width="400" /><br /><br />Use Problem Steps Recorder This handy tool automatically records any mouse clicks and takes screenshots for you. If you need tech assistance with your computer, go to Run by typing <b>Windows + R</b>, and then type "<b>psr</b>." Use the tool and by the time you are finished, you can send this information, neatly compiled automatically, to the person helping you with the issue. It will make the process of finding the problem much easier for them, which means you will be able to get your system up and running faster.<br /><br /><b>Find/Delete</b> large files wasting space A handy tool called <b>WinDirStat</b> (Windows Directory Statistics) can be used to easily find which files and folders are taking up the most space on your drive. From there, you can delete them and open up a ton of storage space.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="213" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/windirstat-p.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br />Reduce the number of programs running at startup If your PC is taking too long to boot, it’s probably because you have far too many programs running at startup. Reducing this is easy, it will make your PC launch noticeably faster and lighter upon first load. To change the items running at startup, go to Run using the hotkey <b>Windows key + R</b>, and type "<b>msconfig</b>." A small window will appear (see the screenshot below), select the Startup tab. From here you will be able to turn off many startup programs, which can shave several seconds (or minutes) off your boot time. (Note Windows 8 has moved this functionality to the Task Manager). Try to make sure you research what you are turning off as some processes might be needed by third party programs or drivers you have installed.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="268" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/msconfig.png" width="400" /><br /><br />Cloud backup important files If you’re working on a critical paper for school, work, or any other major project, make sure you are backing up the file not just locally. You can use services like <b>Dropbox, Google Drive</b>, or any of the other popular cloud storage solution which will do the legwork for you on the background. Of course, you can also throw the files on a <b>thumb drive or external HDD</b> just to be safe but backing up to the cloud can be done seamlessly which is twice the advantage.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="254" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/dropbox.png" width="400" /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Typing Tricks:</span></b><br /><br />Delete an entire word Instead of deleting a single letter, pressing <b>CTRL + BKSP</b> will delete the entire word behind the cursor. This makes deleting text quicker if you screw up a whole word.<br /><br />Move Cursor to beginning of the next or previous word Moving the cursor around manually while typing is a great way to make your work take longer than it needs to. To speed of the process, move the cursor around with keyboard shortcuts. To move it to the beginning of the previous word, use <b>CTRL + Left Arrow</b>. To move it to the beginning of the next word, use <b>CTRL + Right Arrow</b>. In OS X you can accomplish the same using the Option key.<br /><br />Making sub and superscript text If you need to make sub or superscript text (think exponents for superscript), press <b>CTRL + = for subscript and CTRL + SHIFT + = for superscript</b>.<br /><br />Paste plain text of what was copied When you copy text from any source, programs will usually copy any formatting that comes with it. To paste this as plain text, press <b>CTRL + Shift + V</b> instead of the standard <b>CTRL + V</b>, and the system will paste unformatted text.<br />Note that many programs follow this parameter (Chrome, Firefox, etc.) but not all, particularly Microsoft programs like Word or Outlook. For those there's a few alternatives that go beyond copying and pasting in Notepad: 1) <b>CTRL + ALT + V</b> will show a 'paste special' dialog box. 2) <b>CTRL + Spacebar</b> will remove formatting in already pasted text. 3) Download <b>Puretext</b> and choose a hotkey to always paste plain text with it.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="195" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/plaintext.png" width="400" /><br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Keyboard Shortcuts:</span></b><br /><br />Copy only active window to clipboard Normally, the Print Screen key copies the entire display (or two displays if you got them), <b>ALT + Print Screen</b> only copies the currently active window to the clipboard. Whether taking a screenshot to diagnose a problem, or just because you want to show something to a friend, this will come in handy.<br /><br />Fix those little mistakes Did you know you can undo almost any action? <b>CTRL + Z</b> is the ultimate hot key, and for sure you knew about it already, however note that undo doesn’t just apply to typing. If you accidentally delete or move a file, you can hit <b>CTRL + Z</b> to bring it right back to where it was. In Chrome and Firefox you can also undo closing a tab using <b>CTRL + SHIFT + T</b>.<br /><br />Cycle through open windows Pressing <b>ALT+TAB </b>allows you to cycle through currently open windows. This makes switching back and forth between running processes quick and painless. If you want a more stylish method of cycling through open programs, <b>Windows + TAB</b> will do the job for you.<br /><br />Interrupt all processes<b> CTRL + ALT + Delete</b> is one of the most common PC shortcuts, and one almost everyone is familiar with. The important thing to note is that it interrupts all processes, including the one that is bogging down your system, which can mean the difference between needing to restart or not.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="204" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/ctrlaltdel.png" width="400" /><br /><br />Close the current program Typing <b>ALT + F4</b> will close the program that is running. This is useful as it saves you time mousing over the "<b>X</b>" and clicking. People will often use this as a joke, telling you to press <b>ALT + F4</b> to fix a problem. Don’t fall for it unless you want to close what you are doing.<br /><br />Minimize all windows Sometimes you have a bunch of stuff running, and you want it all to go away so you can get to the desktop. Simply pressing <b>Windows + D </b>will minimize everything you have up, which will save you some time pressing the minimize button for each window. It should be noted that <b>Windows + M</b> offers similar functionality, but there is no undoing, so <b>Windows + D</b> is the more favorable approach.<br /><br />Open the task manager directly If you want to bypass the interrupt that happens when pressing <b>CTRL + ALT + DEL</b> and jump right to the task manager, typing <b>CTRL + Shift + ESC</b> launches it directly.<br /><br />Close the current window/tab Stick of moving all the way to that X button? Press <b>CTRL + W</b> and the current window will close. (Don’t do it now, or you will miss the rest of the tricks!)<br /><br />Bring up the system information window This is so much quicker than digging this out the traditional way... Just press <b>Windows + Pause/Break</b> and the System Information panel will be ready to go. This might be the only use for the Pause/Break key you will ever find, so enjoy it!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
<img border="0" height="194" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/sysinfo.png" width="400" /></div>
<br />Better multiple monitor control There are several useful keyboard shortcuts for controlling open windows on multiple monitors. Pressing the <b>Windows Key + Arrow Keys</b> will cause a window to quickly snap to each side of either monitor. Alternatively, hitting <b>Shift + Windows Key + Arrows</b> will cause the window to jump to the other monitor. Lastly, pressing <b>Windows + P</b> will allow you to quickly set up a second display or projector.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="84" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/windowsP.png" width="400" /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Web Browsing Tricks:</span></b><br /><br />Automatically add www. and .com to a URL You can shave off a couple of seconds typing in a URL by simply click <b>CTRL + Enter</b> after you type the name of the site. Need <b>.net</b> instead of <b>.com</b>, press <b>CTRL + Shift + Enter</b> instead.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s4ZQT6hqkNA/VM6pQiVmlJI/AAAAAAAACTA/ts7Jl4I94CA/s1600/Capture.PNG"><img border="0" height="10" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-s4ZQT6hqkNA/VM6pQiVmlJI/AAAAAAAACTA/ts7Jl4I94CA/s1600/Capture.PNG" width="400" /></a><br /><br />Jump to address bar There are a number of ways to jump right to the address bar from anywhere in browser. Pressing <b>CTRL + L, F6, and ALT + D</b> all accomplish this goal.<br /><br />Bring back a closed tab We covered this already, but it's super useful. Accidentally closed a tab? Simply press <b>CTRL + Shift + T</b> to reopen the most recently closed tab and get back to what you were doing.<br /><br />Use private browsing The uses for not having cookies and history saved are obvious for certain activities, you know, like shopping for gifts on a shared computer (of course!). Pressing <b>CTRL + Shift + N</b> will launch a new private in Chrome, <b>CTRL + Shift + P</b> will do it in Firefox and Internet Explorer.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="162" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/privatebrowsing.png" width="400" /><br /><br />Cycle through open tabs Pressing <b>CTRL + TAB</b> while in a browser will flip between each one. This can be much faster than moving the mouse and clicking on a tab. <b>CTRL + NUM</b> (1, 2, 3, 4, n..) will also take you to certain tab in that numeric order.</div>
<div>
<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">File Management Tricks:</span></b><br /><br />Rename a file quickly <b>Right-clicking</b> and selecting rename is not very efficient. Instead, simply press <b>F2</b> while a file is selected to change its name. To alter the name of another file, type <b>TAB</b> without deselecting the current file.<br /><br />Rename files sequentially in Windows You actually don’t need to download any programs to perform a batch file rename in Windows. Instead, you can select all the files you want to change, right-click the first one in the list, select rename (or use F2), and type in the name. This will automatically change all the other files with the same root name with a suffix: (1), (2), and so on.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="136" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/sequentalfiles.png" width="400" /><br />Select multiple files using the keyboard To select a bunch of files using your keyboard, you can press <b>Shift + down</b> arrow to select a single file or <b>Shift + Page Down</b> to select a large group of files at one time.</div>
<div>
<br /><b><span style="font-size: large;">Security Tips:</span></b><br /><br />Run programs on an infected PC Often times, malware will prevent a computer from running certain programs. Changing the name of the .exe file can often override this. If that doesn't work, changing the extension to <b>.com</b> is another useful alternative, and the program will still be able to run in spite of the extension change.<br /><br />Read installers Even major programs can install toolbars and other unwanted pieces of software during installation. Take a few seconds to read each step to make sure you are not agreeing to install something other than the program you were actually seeking. Far too often people just push next over and over, and end up with a browser covered in various search bars that just aren't needed. In the worst of scenarios, these can have nefarious intentions.<br /><br />Lock your computer if you get up Sick of your "friends" going onto your computer at work or home and posting things on your Facebook/Twitter page on your behalf? It’s certainly an annoyance, but an easy one to prevent. <b>Windows + L</b> will lock your system right away, requiring a password (if you've set one) to log in again.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="225" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/lockscreen.jpg" width="400" /><br /></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<b><span style="font-size: large;">Program-Specific Tricks:</span></b><br /><br />Photoshop: Drag the marquee without losing the ability to size it The marquee tool is, at its most basic level, designed for selecting a part of an image. It’s used constantly in Photoshop, and there is a handy trick many users miss. While dragging it around, you can press space, which will allow you to size it while moving it. This saves time by letting your perform two key functions at the same time.<br /><br /><b>Steam:</b> Move games to another drive or partition By default, Steam installs all games to the same HDD or partition, but what happens if that fills up? The solution: download Steamtool Library Manager. It makes it easy to move games to another hard drive without messing with the functionality of Steam.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="232" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/steamtool.png" width="400" /><br /><br /><b>VLC:</b> Fix unsynced audio and subtitles In the popular media player VLC, if your audio loses sync with the video or subtitles, there is an easy way to fix this. Simply pressing <b>J</b> or <b>K</b> will move the audio forward or backwards. Similarly, to sync the subtitles you can press <b>H</b> or <b>G</b>.<br /><br /><img border="0" height="276" src="http://www.techspot.com/articles-info/676/images/vlc.jpg" width="400" /><br /><br />The combination of using these tips and tricks on a daily basis will most certainly make your computer life much more enjoyable, or at least more practical. And so, did you learn a thing or two that you didn't know before?<section class="review-section clearfix" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #363636; font-stretch: inherit; line-height: 28.0499992370605px; margin: 0px 0px 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline; zoom: 1;"><div style="border-image-outset: initial; border-image-repeat: initial; border-image-slice: initial; border-image-source: initial; border-image-width: initial; border: 0px; font-stretch: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; font-weight: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 20px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<u>Windows 10 Preview: The Start Menu Returns</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The most obvious thing about Windows 10 is that, yes, the Start Menu is back, and it’s just as welcome as you might expect. The Start Screen was a UI design fail of epic proportions and being able to go back to the familiar pop-up menu is so much more efficient. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Of course, it isn’t just that the Start Menu is back. It has also changed. Now the Live Tiles of the Start Screen are embedded within the Start Menu, providing yet another area for shortcuts (along with the taskbar, normal menu items and desktop) to opening your apps. Those Tiles that are actually Live will also show previews of app information, such as a message notification or the day’s weather. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">It’s quite a nice addition both visually and because there is the potential there to provide a useful snapshot of your other apps. We’re not quite at the stage of finding it useful yet, but we can see the possibilities. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><strong style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Windows 10" class="tr-behaviour-enlargeable " height="261" id="review-9203-139687" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e772/e9b9_orh616w616/start-menu.jpg" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a></strong><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"> Yeah finally Start Menu is backy.. </em><br />
<span style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><i><br /></i></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Things we’re not so keen on are that by default there is both a search button and a search function in the Start Menu right next to each other; that the Control Panel is removed from the list of apps by default; and that the power options are at the top of the menu, tucked away between the Live Tiles and user profile button. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">But the search is at least quite powerful now, with results from Bing included along with Windows Store matches and local file matches, and this is a preview so there's plenty of time for Microsoft to tweak and complete the design.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br />

<u>Windows 10: Virtual Desktops</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">If the Start Menu didn't already, it’s the inclusion of virtual desktops that really marks out how directly Microsoft is trying to please the desktop power users with this release of Windows. It isn't as slick as the virtual desktop integration in Mac OS, but it's a really useful addition.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">New desktops can be added by either pressing Windows Tab or clicking the new Task View button. These bring up a new live app-switching interface below which is the option to add new desktops. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Once you’ve added a new desktop you can, from the same interface, move apps between them and rearrange them. Apps that are open in other desktops are underlined in the taskbar where if you click them it’ll switch to that desktop, which can actually be a little annoying if you just want to open another instance of that app and don’t know the keyboard shortcut. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="" height="224" id="review-9203-139477" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e6a0/aaf1/Tech-Preview-Virtual-desktop-500x281.png" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><br /></em><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Virtual desktops are perhaps the second biggest new addition to Windows 10. The implementation could do with a little work though.</em><br />
<br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">It’s a neat enough implementation that will certainly suffice for those power users that simply need virtual desktops. However, it doesn’t reinvent them in a way that makes them immediately useful for the rest of us. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Again comparing to Apple’s implementation, in Mac OS apps automatically open to a new virtual desktop when made fullscreen, returning to a normal desktop when windowed. You can also swipe between desktops using the multi-finger gestures available on its trackpads. The result is an interface that revolutionises the way you work. Here, though, it’s a lot of clicking to get the same result. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Microsoft’s app management improvements aren’t limited to virtual desktops, though, as it has also tweaked how Snap works. Previously you could snap apps to fill one half of the screen and that was it. Now, though, you can snap four apps and when you snap an app it will show suggested other apps to fill the left over space. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Like virtual desktops, Snap is most useful for laptops, where the smaller screens make having multiple windows open at one time less practical. This is still true even with the new four-way snapping as most apps just don’t end up in a usable shape when snapped into the shape they would when taking up a quarter of the screen. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">We wonder whether a customisable snap interface would actually work best – there are still up to four spaces (one for each corner for the snap gesture) but each corner/side will snap apps to a pre-defined shape. Or maybe a quicksnap tool that snaps a set layut of apps to the front of the screen – great for quickly switching between a document you’re working on and a layout of apps that includes your music player, web browser and IM, for instance. Anyway, we digress.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Windows 10" class="tr-behaviour-enlargeable " height="225" id="review-9203-139693" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e778/ca2a_orh616w616/snap-to.png" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><br /></em><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The new Snap interface can snap to four corners and suggests alternative windows to fill the rest of the space.</em><br />

<u>Windows 10 Preview: Charms</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Alhough the existing Charms menu – the one you swipe in from the right – of Windows 8 remains, for keyboard and mouse users there’s a new way to access some its features. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">You can still press the Windows C shortcut to bring up the Charms menu but most apps also now have a Charms buttons in their top left. Tap this and it brings up the standard set of options, with App Commands, Search, Share, Play, Print, Project, Settings and Fullscreen available.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">It’s not really a feature set we’ve yet found useful but it’s good to see Microsoft backwards engineering some of the apparently well-liked features introduced with the Windows 8 modern UI and making them easy to use for non-touch users too. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The existing Charms menu itself is also set to be changed before the final release of Windows 10, but for now it remains the same. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Windows 10" class="tr-behaviour-enlargeable " height="301" id="review-9203-139689" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e774/8396_orh616w616/cmd-prompt.jpg" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a><br />

<u>Windows 10 Preview: Command Prompt</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Another really, really obvious nod towards ingratiating power users is that Microsoft has finally updated the Command Shell, at least a little bit. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Now users can use the familiar keyboard shortcuts of the rest of the Windows interface, with Copy and Paste and Ctrl/Shift cursor based character selection now available. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The most obvious benefit of this is that you can copy and paste complicated command instructions from the web straight into the prompt, which you couldn’t do before. Sadly, you still can’t delete a highlighted selection but at least it’s a step in the right direction.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br />

<u>Windows 10 Preview: First Impressions for Touchscreen Users</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The final release of Windows 10 will no doubt incorporate plenty of tweaks to the existing Windows 8.1 touchscreen experience. However, for now, the Technical Preview is all about desktop additions so there’s very little to say here. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">As mentioned, we expect the Charms bar to be tweaked and there will no doubt be more crossover interface tweaks as we go along. For now, though, it’s meagre pickings. In particular, any of the fall-back interfaces – things like the control panel or device manager – are still the same as they were in Windows 7. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">One thing Microsoft will need to sort out is how users of hybrid touchscreen laptop/tablets will use the software. On detachable tablet type models will it auto detect that you’ve removed the keyboard and mouse and revert back to using the Start Screen rather than Start Menu? </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Will it generally still aim for a hodgepodge of touch and desktop elements or make users strictly choose one or the other? Microsoft really has made a rod for its own back by embracing touchscreen for laptops and desktops and it still has some distance to go before it has joined all the dots.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br />

<u>Windows 10 Preview: First Impressions for mouse and keyboard users</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">It really can’t be overstated how important the reintroduction of the Start Menu is to the overall feel of using Windows. It’s efficient, it’s intuitive, it’s familiar, it’s what never needed to be changed, and thank god it’s back. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Likewise, the few little nods here and there towards better integrating the new Windows 8 touch-centric interface features -- plus, of course, virtual desktops -- are a nice addition. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Overall, though, there’s still a long way to go before the interface is fully rid of the many bizarre touch-centric interface features that interrupt your workflow. Menus that suddenly fill up the whole vertical third of the screen, the main PC Settings menu with its massive buttons and no icons, the sideways scrolling interface of the Windows Store.</span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Windows 10 is clearly a step in the right direction but, just as with its need to more fully provide touch interfaces for advanced features, Microsoft still has a lot of work to do to get the day-to-day experience for mouse and keyboard users. It has the time to make these changes, but there's plenty of work to be done. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Windows 10" class="tr-behaviour-enlargeable " height="285" id="review-9203-139691" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e776/b314_orh616w616/App-Store.jpg" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><br /></em><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The app store is a great way to safely access new apps, though we're no fans of the sideways scrolling interface!</em><br />

<u>Is it time to upgrade from Window 7 or earlier?</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Perhaps the most important consideration for existing power desktop users is simply whether they will want to upgrade. Windows 7 still works very well thank you very much, so should you splash the cash? </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Well, of course one thing we don’t yet now is exactly how much Windows 10 will cost so in that regard it’s difficult to say, but otherwise things are definitely moving in the right direction. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Windows 10, like Windows 8 before it, is noticeably faster than Windows 7, both at booting up and in general use – it really does feel snappy. This is particularly noticeable on mobile platforms – i.e. laptops – but is still nice for regular desktops too. It’s also better with its power management, so you’ll have a better chance of eking out that battery life just a few minutes more. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The addition of virtual desktops may tip the scales for some users too, as could the command line tweaks. Integration of OneDrive is also a surprisingly useful feature, even for those used to using alternative cloud backup software. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">All that said, there isn’t perhaps that one killer feature that stands out as a reason to pay £100-odd for a full license when it becomes available. Indeed, ironically, the addition of the Start Menu now just highlights how under the hood there is very little that’s a tangible improvement over Windows 7 in particular (Windows XP users really should be looking to upgrade for all sorts of reasons). </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">The collection of incremental improvements is perhaps enough, but then Microsoft really does need to make sure it gets the rest of the interface right between now and full release. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><a href="http://www.trustedreviews.com/windows-10-photos" style="color: #2581d0; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Windows 10" class="tr-behaviour-enlargeable " height="225" id="review-9203-139692" src="http://static.trustedreviews.com/94/00002e777/0d27_orh616w616/Control-Panel.png" style="border: 0px;" width="400" /></a><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;"><br /></em><em style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">There are still plenty of areas in the interface that completely don't match up such as the control panel and PC settings pages.</em><br />

<u>Final Thoughts:</u></h3>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">Overall, Microsoft has clearly listened to at least the loudest criticisms of Windows 8 and has rightly embraced the core keyboard and mouse user base for Windows 10. The return of the Start Menu is as welcome as you might imagine and the addition of virtual desktops and an improved command line shell all add up to a big step in the right direction. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;">However there is still a lot of work to be done before the software will feel like it has hit the right balance. Both the touchscreen and desktop interfaces still crash into each other on a regular basis, causing unnecessary confusion for the user and things like the virtual desktop integration still need a bit of tweaking. </span><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /><br style="font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.0030002593994px;" /></div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The improvements in iOS 8 are a bit more low-level than the fundamental UI redesign we saw last year, but it’s a big release nonetheless. Once again, Cupertino is chasing Android, and it definitely catches up in some areas. As Apple likes to say, this is the best version of iOS yet. Still, can it do anything to slow Android’s explosive growth?</div>

<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Apple has been trying to fix iOS notifications for a very long time and only recently got to a place where it was comparable to Android. For all its early issues, Android has always had great notifications. Beginning with Android 4.1, Google added the ability for developers to add actionable buttons to notifications. Now Apple is doing the same thing, but it goes a bit further.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Notifications.png" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Notifications" class="size-full wp-image-183527" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Notifications.png" height="221" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Android uses expandable lines in the notification shade to keep notifications with buttons and text from taking up too much space. Apple’s buttons in iOS 8 seem to be expanded all the time, but they include quick-reply capability. For example, if you get a message while in another app, the banner that drops down includes a reply button that lets you type a response from the drop-down without leaving your current app. This is, of course, something that can be accomplished with various third-party tools on Android, but Apple’s native functionality is a step beyond Android here.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Notifications-Android.png" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Notifications Android" class="size-large wp-image-183531" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Notifications-Android-640x318.png" height="159" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
One remaining pain point with iOS 8 notifications is the continued apparent lack of a single button to clear all active items. As before, you need to empty out one section of notifications at a time. With Android, there’s a simple clear all icon on all devices.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
<u>Spotlight Search</u> :</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
With iOS 8 (and the updated OSX) Apple is finally putting that universal search patent to use after suing everyone over it a few years back. Pulling down the search bar in iOS 8 will now offer instant search across a number of different services. It will find apps installed on the device, messages you’ve received, and songs in your library. However, it also reaches out and lists content on iTunes, movie showtimes, maps, and more.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Spotlight.jpg" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Spotlight" class="size-large wp-image-183526" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Spotlight-640x421.jpg" height="210" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Android’s search UI varies a bit depending on the device, even as of Android 4.4. This is partially because of who was and wasn’t targeted by Apple’s patent suits a few years back, but Google’s default search app has unified things a bit. Basically, you get results from the web and your personal content (local and cloud) when you start typing. To get more, you can flip between various categories like apps, images, books, and other online content.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Android can do all the same things iOS Spotlight Search does — it’s just organized differently. However, any convenience lead Apple might claim in typed searches I feel is more than compensated for on the Android side by Google Now. Google’s predictive search stuff is getting scary good at times. It pulls content from your data like plane tickets, shipping confirmations, and appointments to show you what you need before you’ve even typed anything. Spotlight still can’t touch this.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
<u>Continuity Mode</u> :</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Apple’s new Continuity framework seeks to make your iOS and OS X devices feel interconnected — like a single continuous client. With iOS 8, you can work on a document or look at a web page on one device, then pick up another one and easily pick up where you left off. Android does some of this, but it’s not presented as cleanly or consistently. It is, however, more universal.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Continuity.png" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Continuity" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-183524" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Continuity-640x377.png" height="189" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Google’s services are much more focused on the web, so you can easily pick up browser tabs, documents, and other content across devices. You have to know where to go, but it does work. The upshot is that Google’s synchronization features work on all devices, even those running iOS. Apple’s Continuity platform is restricted to its devices running the newest version of the desktop and mobile software.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Apple also added the ability for messaging and calls to operate in a more interconnected way on its devices. If you get a call on your iPhone, your Mac or iPad can be used to see who’s calling and even act as a speakerphone to take the call. Regular SMS messages are also relayed through the new Continuity system so you can see them on other iDevices.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
<u>QuickType and big input changes</u> :</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Apple’s keyboard used to be the best touchscreen typing experience, but in recent years the likes of SwiftKey, Swype, and others have given Android users something to cheer about. Apple is upgrading its own keyboard with iOS 8, which is nice, but the big change comes with the opening up of iOS input to third parties — <em>finally</em>.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/qt.png" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="QuickType" class="aligncenter size-large wp-image-183523" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/qt-640x427.png" height="214" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The default iOS 8 keyboard will have a feature called QuickType, which is simply Apple’s way of saying it has added word prediction to the typing experience. Yes, Android’s default keyboard has had this for years. Unlike some other keyboards, the iOS solution will allegedly be smart enough to choose words based on who you’re talking to. So, it might suggest a more mature set of words when you’re sending an email to your boss than when you’re making plans with friends for happy hour. No sighting of swipe input on the stock iOS keyboard, but maybe you won’t need it.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Keyboards.png" style="color: #b1700a; font-size: 16px; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Keyboards" class="alignright size-medium wp-image-183532" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Keyboards-300x225.png" height="225" style="border-style: none; float: right; padding-left: 10px;" width="300" /></a>If that’s just not good enough for you, Apple will be letting third-party developers become the default keyboard on iOS 8 as part of the extension framework (more on that later). You can imagine the folks behind SwiftKey, Swype, and other Android-centric keyboards cheered their heads off at that one. When the user sets a third-party keyboard as the default, it is cut off from accessing the network, which is a smart security measure. The user can grant network access as needed, though.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
The customizability of Android’s default app scheme has long been a big selling point, and it’s very encouraging to see Apple adopt that model, even just a little bit.</div>
<h3 style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px;">
<u>Metal for gaming</u> :</h3>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
OpenGL has been the standard for 3D gaming on mobile devices — both Android and iOS — for years now. The way Apple tells it, though, OpenGL is getting too heavy for its own good and the overhead is hurting the games. That’s why Cupertino is releasing Metal to developers.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
<a href="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Metal.jpg" style="color: #b1700a; text-decoration: none;"><img alt="Metal" class="size-large wp-image-183534" src="http://www.extremetech.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/06/Metal-640x360.jpg" height="180" style="border-style: none;" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
Metal is a new graphics API that will allow games to render with much higher efficiency than they ever could with OpenGL. The demos did look very impressive with realistic physics and more triangles than you can shake a polygon at, though the scenes still looked a little sterile. It’s possible lighting effects with Metal weren’t ready to go in time for the keynote.</div>
<div style="color: #333333; font-family: ProximaNovaRgRegular, arial, sans-serif; line-height: 22px; margin-bottom: 24px;">
There’s nothing like Metal on Android — developers there will continue using OpenGL unless Google comes up with some alternative. iOS has been ahead in the gaming sphere for its entire history, so this isn’t so much about catching up to Android as it is widening the gap. Metal might also make it that much more annoying for developers to port games to Android in the first place. Maybe that’s part of Apple’s dastardly plan?</div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know most people don't know exactly what's the difference between these two protocols. So, I thought I would explain you guys a lil.. :)</span><br />
<br />
Lets start then....<br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>HTTP</u> -</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;">HTTP is Hyper Text Transform Protocol and is transmitted over the wire via PORT 80(TCP). You use HTTP when you are browsing the web. It</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;"> is encrypted using SSL, meaning that your session cannot be observed by a third party.</span><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;"> </span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; line-height: 16.25px;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b><u>HTTPS</u></b></span></span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 16.25px;"> </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Helvetica, Arial, san-serif; line-height: 16.25px;"><span style="font-size: large;">-</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;">HTTPS (Hypertext Transfer Protocol over Secure Socket Layer, or HTTP over SSL) is a Web protocol developed by Netscape and built into its browser that encrypts and decrypts user page requests as well as the pages that are returned by the Web server. HTTPS is really just the use of Netscape's Secure Socket Layer (SSL) as a sublayer under its regular HTTP application layering. (HTTPS uses port 443 instead of HTTP port 80 in its interactions with the lower layer, TCP/IP.) SSL uses a 40-bit key size for the RC4 stream encryption algorithm, which is considered an adequate degree of encryption for commercial exchange. </span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 16.25px;">Although it may be encrypted does not mean its safe, there are tools out there to decrypt the information being sent over the wire, although its more difficult to do so.</span></span><br />

<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
On this 31st Oct, Google announced details of its long-awaited Android 4.4 KitKat operating system for the first time, going beyond just the candy bar branding. KitKat is designed around three major tentpoles, Google told TechCrunch, including reaching the next billion (it previously announced 1 billion activation's) Android users, putting so-called Google “smarts” across the entire mobile experience, and building for what comes next in mobile devices.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Google said that Android is growing at three times the speed of developed markets in developing countries; but the phones that are catching on in those markets are mostly running Gingerbread, a version of Android that’s now many versions out of date. These phones, however, have lower specs with only around 512 MB of memory available, and Gingerbread is what’s required to fit within those tech requirements.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
That presented a technical challenge Google was keen to tackle: How to build KitKat in such a way that it can bring even those older and lower-specced devices up-to-date, to help provide a consistent experience across the entire Android user base. That mean reducing OS resources, and then also modifying Google apps to stay within those boundaries, as well as rethinking how the OS manages available memory to make the most of what is present.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
None of this was enough, however, so Google went further to help third-party developers also offer their content to everyone on Android, rather than just those with the top-tier devices. A new API in KitKat allows devs to determine what amount of memory a phone is working with, and serve a different version of the app to each, making it possible for the same application to run on even the earliest Android devices.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
“People generally launch new versions of operating systems and they need more memory,” Android chief Sundar Pichai said at a Google event today. “Not with KitKat. We’ve taken it and made it run all the way back on entry level phones. We have one version of the OS that’ll run across all Android smartphones in 2014.”</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
That’s the single biggest feature being announced here: Google wants to get everyone on the same platform, and is doing more than it ever has to end the fragmentation problem. One version over the next year is a hugely ambitious goal, but if the company is serious about not only serving a growing developing market, but offering it something like software version parity, it seems like it’s finally figured out how to go about doing that. It’ll still be up to manufacturers to decide whether or not devices get the KitKat upgrade, Google notes, so we’ll probably still see a fair amount of older devices get left out via official update channels.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Here’s what’s coming with KitKat, which launched on the <a href="http://www.google.com/nexus/5/" style="box-sizing: border-box; color: #089e00; outline: 0px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">new Nexus 5</a>.</div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Lock & Home Screen</u> -</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

Aside from making KitKat the One OS To Rule Them All, Google has also introduced a number of new features with this update. Album art is displayed full screen behind the lockscreen when music is playing, for instance, and you can scrub the track without unlocking. There’s a new launcher, with translucency effects on the navigation bar and on the top notification bar.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
<img alt="translucent-bar" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-908764" height="218" src="http://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/translucent-bar.jpg?w=680&h=464" style="border: 1px solid rgb(213, 213, 213); box-sizing: content-box; clear: both; display: block; height: auto; margin: 0px auto; max-width: 100%;" width="320" />Long-pressing a blank space on any homescreen zooms out to allow you to re-arrange them all, and when you’re running an app that is written for full-screen, the navigation bar and the notification bar both now disappear entirely from view.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Launcher-specific stuff is Nexus-only initially, of course, and whether some of these elements make their way to manufacturer-specific home screens will depend on those OEMs.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: alright_sansblack, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3; margin: 2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Dialer</u> -</span></h2>

<span style="font-family: alright_sansblack, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3;">Hangouts</span>Android now offers up a new dialer, which incorporates search for easy reference. This means you can enter the name of a business even if you don’t know it’s number or have it stored in your address book, and then the dialer will retrieve it from the same database that powers Google Maps. It’s incorporating local data, as well as looking for the name used in your search. This also allows the phone to provide caller ID information for incoming calls, too, and there’s a new auto-populating favorites menu that builds a list of your most frequent dialled numbers.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Google has indeed consolidated the entire text/video/MMS experience with Hangouts, as predicted. It replaces the default messaging app, and allows you to send an SMS just as you would’ve before, to a number or to someone in your contact book. There’s also a new Places button for sharing map locations, and emoji support is finally built-in to your software keyboard.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
This is the iMessage equivalent that Android has been lacking thus far. It’s going to be a tremendously useful feature, especially for those who are transitioning to Android from BlackBerry in that next 5 billion Google is adamantly pursuing.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
You can now attach photos to communications not only from your local library, but also from Google Drive, and from Box, as well. Any third-party provider can provide a hook to be included, according to Google, which is impressive considering that Google isn’t limiting things to its own ecosystem.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

New HDR+ software is built-in to Android KitKat, which has no apparent changes to the surface user experience – a device owner just snaps the shutter button. Behind the scenes, however, Google’s mobile OS is taking many photos at once, and fusing the best parts of each together seamlessly to come up with a better end product. Lights appear more natural, faces are visible even when backlighting threatens to overwhelm, and moving objects are more in focus.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
HDR+ is Nexus 5-only to start, but Google says they’re looking to bring it to other devices later on, too.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: alright_sansblack, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3; margin: 2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">

Developers can now add printing to individual apps, and Google will work with building it out for additional manufacturers, too, something it says is “easy” to accomplish. Right now, any HP wireless printer works with the system, and any printer that already supports Google Cloud Print will also be able to take advantage of the new feature.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">

Search is at the core of Google’s overall product experience, the company explained, so it’s doing more to make that accessible on mobile. Search is now on every homescreen by default in Android, and it supports hotwording, so that you can just say “Okay, Google” to get search up and running at any time, much like you would on Glass.<br />
Speech is crucial to Google with this update, and it said it was proud of its improvements so far; the error rate of speech recognition dropped 20 percent last year, and there’s been a 25 percent increase in overall speech recognition accuracy over the past few years, according to Pichai. Using voice recognition also now allows you to tap a word and bring up a list of alternatives to select from. The system also now asks more clarifying questions, using natural language, to ensure better service overall.</div>
<h2 style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: alright_sansblack, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.3; margin: 2em 0px 1em; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><u>Google Now</u> -</span></h2>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Google Now has been updated to be accessed via a swipe form the left side of the screen, which is a tweak from when it was accessed via swiping up in previous versions of Android. Google also focused on answering questions like “How can we help users in more ways, and bring up the most relevant content?” with this update, which means new types of cards.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Now can now figure out that The Walking Dead is a favorite show of the user, for instance, and offer up articles related to it and its progress. So not only is Google Now aware of your surroundings and schedule, but also what type of content you’re interested in. It can also note which blogs you check regularly, and provide you info about when new posts appear; in other words, Google is adding some of the features that were core parts of Google Reader to Now, and making them more contextually-aware.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
It can also incorporate crowd-sourced data to make better recommendations. For instance, it could know that people often search for geyser times at Yellowstone National Park, and provide a card with those if it sees you’re in the area. If you’re near a cinema, it’ll present movie times and a link to the Fandango application for purchasing tickets.</div>
<div style="background-color: #f9f9f9; box-sizing: border-box; color: #3e433e; font-family: open_sansregular, HelveticaNeue, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26px; margin-bottom: 1em; padding: 0px;">
Another example Google provided is that Stanford students, who often search for the academic calendar in fall, will now receive that data automatically when the correct season arrives, provided they’ve informed Google of their student status previously in some way. These types of Cards will roll out in mid-November, Google says.</div>

Partners at launch include Expedia, Moviefone, OpenTable and more. This is a Nexus-only feature at launch, but Google says it will be available for all KitKat devices in time.</div>

Windows 8.1 is an update to Windows 8. A preview version was released on June 26, 2013, for Windows 8 and Windows RT. If all goes according to plan, the final version should be released to manufacturing in August so that it can be widely available for the 2013 holiday season, roughly a year after the debut of Windows 8.</div>

This is the first release in Microsoft’s new “rapid cadence” update cycle for Windows, which accelerates the pace of Windows development to annual releases compared with the traditional two-to-three-year cycle for Windows desktop clients.</div>

Some features and apps that will be in the final release of Windows 8.1 are not yet in the preview. This includes a significant update to the Mail client, which Microsoft has shown in demos but did not include in the preview release.</div>

A few features that were in Windows 8 are not in the Windows 8.1 Preview at all. Some have been changed radically, with features removed, at least for the preview. I’ve included a detailed list here: “The missing pieces from the Windows 8.1 preview.”</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

Any device that can run Windows 8 should be able to run the Windows 8.1 Preview. The Windows RT 8.1 Preview requires that Windows RT already be installed and that you have at least 10 GB of free storage space. The update is available in 14 supported lanugages: English (U.S.), English (U.K.), Arabic, Chinese (Simplified), Chinese (Traditional), French, German, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish. Language Packs are available after installation for other supported languages, via PC Settings.</div>

For the initial release of the preview, some Atom-powered devices were initially blocked from upgrading. This block has since been removed, although it remains for at least one device. You must update the device’s firmware before installing the Windows 8.1 Preview.

No. The only way to roll back to your previous installation is to wipe out the installation and replace it with a backup created before you installed the preview.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Probably not. The company’s official documentation does not cover this topic, so your best bet is to assume that a complete reinstall will be necessary.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">What happens to Media Center during the Windows 8.1 Preview update?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If Media Center is already installed on the system to be updated, it will be available after the update is complete. If you install the Windows 8.1 Preview using an ISO file, you’ll need to use your Windows 8 Pro Pack or Media Center Pack product key to re-enable Media Center.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you use an Xbox 360 as a Media Center Extender, you should skip the preview release. Windows 8.1 does not work properly in that configuration. The problems should be resolved by RTM.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<strong style="border: 0px; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-variant: inherit; line-height: inherit; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">How do you install Windows 8.1?</strong></div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #252525; font-family: Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 14.399999618530273px; margin-bottom: 15px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The preferred way for consumers to get the final release of Windows 8.1 is either preinstalled on a new device or via the Windows Store. If you visit the Windows 8.1 Preview page on a device running Windows 8, that’s the way you’ll be gently steered. After installing a Windows Update Standalone installer package, you’ll be prompted to restart your Windows 8 device, at which point you’ll see this message.</div>

When you kick off the update via the Windows Store, you must use a Microsoft account, at least initially. You can switch to a local account later.</div>

If you are running Windows 8 Enterprise, you cannot update via the Store. Likewise, you’ll need to use an alternative mechanism if you want to set up a dual boot system or perform a clean install on an existing partition.</div>

ISO files are available in 32-bit (x86) and 64-bit (x64) versions in 14 languages. This page also includes the universal product key for the preview: NTTX3-RV7VB-T7X7F-WQYYY-9Y92F.</div>

If you have an active TechNet or MSDN subscription, the preview files are available from the Downloads area, and you can claim up to three product keys for TechNet and five keys for MSDN.</div>

You can set options to boot directly to the desktop, bypassing the Start screen. You can disable the hot top left and right hot corners. You can also customize the Start screen so that its background is the same as the desktop background. You can also tweak the default display of the Start screen so that it shows the All Apps view, with desktop apps shown first, by category.</div>

<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">We heard it would be </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">flat</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. We heard it would be</span><span style="font-size: 14px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14px;">black and white</span><span style="font-size: 14px;">. We heard that it would be a totally different experience.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">
It is. iOS 7, the latest version of Apple’s flagship mobile operating system, is here, and it’s almost entirely different from the versions that came before. Gone are the skeuomorphic designs and 3D effects, replaced by Sir Jony Ive’s “flat design.” Rumors had been flying for weeks about the new OS and now it’s here and it is, at least at this early reckoning, a massive change for the six year old operating system.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">
First, we must remember that Ive, Apple’s industrial designer now in control of software following the departure of Scott Forstall, isn’t a believer in interfaces that copy real-world objects. In the past, making the Notes app look like a legal pad or the calendar app look like a Moleskine calendar notebook were part of the iOS design philosophy, as ingrained in the OS as “Slide To Unlock.” All that is gone now.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">
Are you ready for a whole new world?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 12.5px; margin-top: 12.5px; padding: 0px;">

<h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 8px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<u>NEW LOOK:</u></h4>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">iOS 7 has a new font leading the way, which seems to be a sort of Helvetica Neue Ultra. It’s very skinny, clean, and it was hinted at in the iOS 7 banners that went up for WWDC yesterday.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Instead of white bars on a black background, Apple will now tell you what kind of service coverage you have with five little dots, which are white and grey depending on how strong the signal is across a translucent background.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The lock screen is changed for the first time in iOS’s history, with no more shine top or bottom bars for slide to unlock or the clock. Instead, Slide to unlock is translucent above the background image.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Default app icons are now flatter, but not quite flat, just as predicted.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Jony Ive’s hand has had its way with iOS notifications. The notifications panel isn’t laced with dark grey linen anymore, but actually has a very flat look to it. There is a today view, that lets you see friends birthdays, upcoming invitations, calendar, stocks, and a quick look at tomorrow.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The apps all seem to have a white base, except for the stocks app which has a black background and the weather app, which shows motion in the background to convey the current weather.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The keyboard is more white, than grey, with a translucency that lets you see what’s underneath the keyboard.</li>
</ul>
<h3 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 25px; margin: 10px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<u>NEW FEATURES</u></h3>
<h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 8px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">

<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Control Center is a pull-up tray that is available in your lock screen.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">You can adjust brightness, volume, and other settings including Wifi, Airplane mode, rotation lock, or Bluetooth.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The Control Center even offers a flashlight, along with tabs for music, camera, and other quick-access apps.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The Control Center takes on the environment it’s in, so if you swipe up while you’re in mail, it will have the same blue and white coloring under that translucent panel.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 8px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">
<u>MULTITASKING:</u></h4>
<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">iOS 7 lets you multitask between all third-party apps with much better battery consumption.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">You can double-tap the home button to enter into multi-tasking mode, just like always, but the interface for multitasking has been revamped. It appears to offer live previews, but Apple wasn’t clear about that.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 8px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">

<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Safari opens straight into full screen mode now, with the option to pull down to bring up the search bar at the top.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The search field has been improved to be a unified smart search field, which lets you have access to all your favorite websites with a single tap.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Tabs come with a totally new interface, scrolling in a vertical carousel, and there are no longer any limits. In other words, you can have as many tabs as you want, as opposed to just 8 like before. Swipe a tab off to the side to throw it away.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The new Safari is integrated with iCloud keychain from OS X Mavericks, and also comes with parental controls.</li>
</ul>
<h4 style="background-color: white; font-family: Interstate, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 21px; letter-spacing: -1px; margin: 8px 0px; padding: 0px; text-transform: uppercase;">

<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">You can share sharesheets with other people by simply tapping their name. No NFC required.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Airdrop supports iPhone 5, iPad 4th gen, iPad Mini</li>

<ul style="background-color: white; font-family: helvetica, arial, clean, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 17px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px 0px 0px 30px;">
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 0px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The Camera app lets you swipe between your various camera types, such as panorama or HDR so you can quickly take a pic instead of fumbling around with settings.</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">Photos marks the first update to the photo gallery on iOS since it was introduced.</li>

It sounds similar, but also weird. You can choose a male or female voice, if you like. Voices include languages like French, German, and other languages “over time.”</li>
<li style="list-style-image: initial; list-style-position: initial; list-style-type: square; margin: 12.5px 0px 12.5px 30px; padding: 0px 0px 10px;">The visual UI has also been upgraded, with a sound wave going along the bottom.</li>

<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 12.666666984558105px; text-align: left;">When you've purchased a new handset, it's understandable to be excited by the sheer potential contained within the phone's sleek frame -- but it's also common to feel a pang of trepidation. Modern mobiles are almost as convoluted as desktop PCs, offering a dazzlingly range of options and settings.</span></div>

Thankfully, here at CNET UK we've got plenty of experience in dealing with these complex beasts. Here, we offer up 25 top tips for the HTC One, which are sure to make ownership of this flagship Android blower a pleasure rather than a pain.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="1-bypass-blinkfeed-to-get-a-more-traditional-homescreen" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
1. <u>Bypass BlinkFeed to get a more traditional home screen</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
BlinkFeed is a big part of HTC's new Sense UI, but it's something of an acquired taste -- for some users, it's a little too different to the traditional Android homescreen experience. Sadly for those individuals, you can't disable BlinkFeed entirely, but you can render it less obtrusive by making one of your other homescreens your default view whenever you unlock the device.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Simply long-press on any homescreen and then long-press the thumbnail at the top of the screen. You'll see the option 'Set as home' appear. Select any screen other than BlinkFeed, and bingo -- you can now ignore it completely.</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

2. <u>Customise your lock screen</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you're finding the default lock screen a little dull, you can switch to something more dynamic by going to Settings > Personalise > Lock Screen Style. You can pick from a rundown of your unread notifications -- including texts, missed calls, emails, calendar events or a selection of photos from your gallery. You can also have a music-based lock screen which allows you to quickly access your tunes.</div>

Hold down the power button and down volume key to snap a screenshot of your phone's display.</div>

4. <u>Automatically upload your photos to the cloud</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; line-height: 12.666666984558105px;">Open up the camera, tap the three dots in the bottom-left corner of the screen and then select Camera Options > Auto Upload. Select which service you'd like to upload the images to, and you'll never have to worry about backing up your snaps again.</span></div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="5-make-your-photos-come-alive" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
5. <u>Make your photos come alive</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
'Zoe' is HTC's flashy name for a new kind of image capture. Zoe images are a few seconds of video and 20 different images, and these really bring your photo gallery to life. To enable Zoe mode, simply tap the camera icon on the left side of the screen, in the middle. You can tell when you're taking a Zoe shot as the camera symbol slowly changes colour to illustrate that capture is in progress.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="6-customise-your-app-drawer-layout" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
6. <u>Customise your app drawer layout</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Don't like the arrangement of icons in your app drawer? Why not tinker with the layout to suit your tastes? In the app drawer, simply swipe down slightly to reveal a row of settings. You can choose to arrange icons in 'Alphabetical' or 'Most Recent' order. You can also create a custom arrangement by moving icons around and creating folders.</div>
<div align="center" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">

7. <u>Control which notifications fire up the phone's LED</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Although you sadly can't pick the colour of the LED notification light, you can tell it what notifications you want it to flash for. This is handy if you're concerned about missing a text message, but aren't bothered about being told you have an inbox full of unread emails. Go to Settings > Display, Gestures and Buttons > Notification Flash to pick and choose.</div>

8. <u>Fill BlinkFeed with the content you want</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
BlinkFeed comes with a selection of pre-determined content sources, including <i style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">The Guardian</i> and CNET (naturally). You can customise what content is displayed in your BlinkFeed stream by pulling down on the stream and then tapping the three dot icon which appears on the right-hand side. You can select to have your Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn status updates appear in the stream, as well as various news topics.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The HTC One's aural experience is powered by Beats Audio, which offers deep, rich bass for those times when you're simply itching to work your way through Dr. Dre's entire discography. This booming quality isn't for everyone, and those of you who like listening to lighter stuff -- Keane or Fleetwood Mac fans, anyone? -- will be relieved to know you can turn it off. Simply go to Settings, scroll down to the 'Phone' section and switch Beats Audio to off.</div>

10. <u>Use your HTC One as a TV remote</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Is there anything this phone can't do? Using the pre-loaded HTC TV app, you can make your handset mimic a remote control, which means you'll never have to struggle down the back of the sofa to find that remote again.</div>

11. <u>Perform a hard reboot</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Back in the old days, when your phone crashed you'd just pop the back off and pull out the battery to reset it. This method is being slowly phased out, however, with the advent of totally sealed phones. Thankfully there's still a way to reboot your HTC One on the rare occasions it decides to lock up entirely. Simply hold down the power button for 10 seconds and the phone will perform a hard reboot.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="12-enable-sleep-mode-to-save-power" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
12. <u>Enable Sleep Mode to save power</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When your phone is in your pocket it doesn't need to keep sucking juice. Sleep Mode switches off 3G connectivity when your phone is inactive for long periods of time, and this saves an incredible amount of power. To turn it on, go to Settings > Power > Sleep Mode.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="13-view-the-web-fullscreen" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
13. <u>View the Web fullscreen</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
When using the HTC Web browser, tap the top of the screen to reveal the URL bar and then tap the three dot icon. Select Settings > General and then tick the 'Fullscreen' box. You can also force the browser to display the desktop view by ticking the box in the Settings menu. After all, who wants to view a mobile version of a site on a phone with such a massive screen, right?</div>

14. <u>Install a custom keyboard</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
One of the great things about Android is that if you don't like your phone's on-screen keyboard, you can install one of your own. There are loads of alternatives available on the Google Play store, and once you've picked and installed the one you like you simply have to go to Settings > Language and Keyboard and select your new option. Before you ditch the default though, make sure you try out the wonderfully intuitive 'trace to type' option -- you can enable it from the Language and Keyboard menu.</div>

15. <u>Customise your home screen dock icons</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Across the bottom of the screen are four icon shortcuts which allow you to access your phone book, messages, Internet and camera. You can customise these shortcuts to suit your own personal tastes, and even add folders to increase the number of apps in the dock. Simply long-press an icon and drag it away from the dock to remove. To add an icon, locate it in your application drawer and then long-press to pick it up and drag it down to the dock. You can create a folder by dragging one icon over another.</div>

16. <u>Find an app quickly</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you've downloaded loads of apps and games from the Google Play store then finding the one you want is easier said than done, especially if you're in a hurry. To save yourself searching through the entirety of the phone's app drawer, simply tap the magnifying glass icon and type in the name of the app you're after.</div>

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Trying to unlock your front door in total darkness isn't a fun task, but with the HTC One you can get a bit of illumination to help when you return home from your late-night activities. The Torch app boasts different brightness levels, too.</div>

The HTC One comes with Zoodles Kid mode pre-installed, which means you can keep your little ones safe when your phone is sea<span style="line-height: 12.666666984558105px;">rving as an all-important entertainment device on long, dull car journeys.

<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Getting a shiny new handset is one of life's simple pleasures, but the process of getting all of your information from your old phone to its replacement is often a painful affair. Thank goodness then that the HTC One comes with a handy tool to make things easier. Go to Settings > Transfer Content and select which kind of device you're upgrading from. It doesn't even have to be an Android handset -- you can port over content from your iPhone, Windows Phone or Blackberry.</div>

20. <u>Extend the phone's stamina with Power Saver Mode</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Modern smart phones are veritable powerhouses of cutting-edge technology, cramming Wi-Fi, 3G, super-bright screens and powerful graphics chips into their svelte frames. The downside of this is that battery life isn't as good as it could be, which is why you'll want to use the HTC One's built-in Power Saver mode to ensure your phone gets through an entire day before gasping for a top-up.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
This mode is based around four key areas: CPU Power, Display, Vibration and Data Connectivity. You can choose to activate one or more of these to dial-down the phone's ravenous appetite for power.</div>

21. <u>Backup your phone's settings to the cloud</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Misplacing your phone is one thing, but losing all of the valuable settings you've spent weeks perfecting is almost as annoying. Thankfully, you can backup this valuable information to the cloud which means that if you do happen to lose your handset, you can configure the replacement in a matter of seconds.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="22-share-media-content-with-other-devices" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
22. <u>Share media content with other devices</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
You can effortlessly share images and video to your TV using the HTC One's media sharing capability. You'll need a HTC Media Link box, or a device on the same Wi-Fi network which has DLNA support. Predictably, HTC's option is a little slicker, as it works with the phone's touchscreen to make the process even more intuitive. To share a photo to the TV, all you have to do is place three fingers on the phone's screen and 'fling' the image upwards.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="23-shut-down-unused-apps" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
23. <u>Shut down unused apps</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
Because the HTC One lacks a multi-tasking button, to access the standard Android multi-tasking menu you have to do things a little differently. Simply double tap the home button and you'll see a grid of running apps. To shut one down, simply place your finger on it and then swipe upwards.</div>
<span style="font-size: 15.333333015441895px;"><a href="http://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=325757995277207185" name="24-switch-off-unwanted-applications" style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #2964bf; cursor: pointer; font-size: 15.333333015441895px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;"></a></span><h2 style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; color: #39434c; font-size: 1.2em; letter-spacing: -0.02em; line-height: 1em; margin: 0px 0px 5px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
24. <u>Switch off unwanted applications</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
The usual strategy when you have an application which annoys you is to simply uninstall it, but some applications can't be removed. Thankfully, Android now allows you to disable irksome programs. Go to Settings > Apps > and then swipe across to the 'All' panel. Find the app and tap the 'Disable' button. Be wary of turning off key system apps, as this may cause your phone to behave strangely.</div>

25. <u>Secure your phone's lock screen</u> -</h2>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If you've lost your phone, what kind of sensitive data could a stranger discover on it? Work information in your emails? A link to your online banking? Your name and address? Too many of us are content to leave our phones unprotected, which is why you'll want to engage some kind of lock screen security when you get your HTC One.</div>
<div style="background-color: transparent; border: 0px; margin-bottom: 20px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
By default it is set to 'none', which means all you have to do is slide up the lock icon to gain access. To change this, visit Settings > Security > Screen lock. You can select from a pattern lock, a numerical pin, a password or even your face. Face Unlock uses your mug to grant access, but it's not 100 per cent foolproof -- it can be overcome using a photo of you, so don’t rely on it too much.</div>

What would you do if you misplace your mobile phone, or worse still, had it stolen? Would you even know where to start to get it back, and what about all that personal data that is linked to your phone?</div>
<div style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #3c3c3c; font-family: 'Droid Sans', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 1.65em; margin-bottom: 1.8em; margin-top: 0.55em; padding: 0px; vertical-align: baseline;">
If this has ever happened to you, you know what a nightmare it can be. Although there are some good Samaritans in the world, more than likely they’re not going to be the ones who would steal your mobile device.</div>

So what can you do to minimize the effects of a stolen smartphone? You can start by installing some form of security for your device. With all of the mobile apps readily available for use (and many for free), there’s really no excuse for not giving your phone ample protection. Even for apps that aren’t free, it’s worth paying that small fee in order to give your smartphone and the details it contain the security it needs.</div>

One of the unique features it has is the ability to wipe your device clean even if the SIM card has been replaced.

Viber is very similar to WhatsApp as it uses mobile contact numbers to identify users. You get an access code sent to your mobile number via text message. It’ll then access your address book to see if any of your contacts are connected to Viber; you can then instantly connect with them. Unlike WhatsApp, Viber allows you to call users, provided your smartphone is connected to the Internet.</div>

LINE registers your phone number into its database where you can then connect with your phone contacts who are LINE users. An advantage of LINE is that it allows you to reply to messages by installing a PC or MacOS program, provided you register your number with an email account. Besides text messaging, you can call other LINE contacts through the app with an Internet connection.</div>

KakaoTalk Messenger also uses your mobile phone number to send you a 4-digit verification code when you register for an account. It then goes through your contacts to find for other KakaoTalk users, similar to how WhatsApp does it. There is also the ability to start group chats, send pictures or audio notes, and share calendar and contact information. Oh, and it does calls too, to other Kakaotalk users over an Internet connection.</div>

The Facebook Messenger app for both iOS and Android has been around for some time now and since you’re connected to most of the friends you want to communicate with, Facebook Messenger can be a great WhatsApp replacement. Only drawback is that you can’t use it to communicate with friends who are not on Facebook.</div>

Groupme caters to people who want to chat in a group. You log in with your email and then verify your phone number by sending an SMS with a code to the provided number. What’s unique about this app is that it supports group messaging over SMS. So in the event where someone in the group doesn’t have a 3G connection, the person can still receive group messages for a small fee. Each message sent or received will be charged as an SMS sent to the United States.</div>

You can choose to sign in with your Samsung account or skip the process and just enter your name. Verify your phone number and the app will start checking all your onboard contacts to see if any of them are on ChatON. The chat is on when you find fellow ChatON users.</div>

As Internet file sharing has grown, media organizations worldwide have worked continually against pirating of copyrighted material. However, for each file-sharing Internet site that's been forced to shut down due to copyright violations, many more have been launched in its place. With the number of Internet users also continuing to rise, a confidence has grown among file sharing enthusiasts that there is little that laws can do to stop them from exchanging all types of media. This confidence is reflected in the name of one such Web site: the Pirate Bay.</div>

<strong style="font-style: inherit;">The Pirate Bay</strong> tracks files that can be downloaded using the <a href="http://www.bittorrent.com/" style="color: #005288; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">BitTorrent</a> protocol, a widely used standard for peer-to-peer file sharing over the Internet. The Pirate Bay is free for your personal use, and it claims to set itself apart by ensuring content is not only free but also uncensored. The site's administrators ask only a few things from you: Accept responsibility for the content you share, refrain from sharing malicious and illegal content and don't use the tracker in a way that violates the privacy of other users. The Pirate Bay offers no service guarantees, and reserves the rights to publish any information about violations of its usage policy.</div>

<strong style="margin: 0px; padding: 0px;">We are done with uTorrent settings.</strong> To give the last touch we need Greedy Torrent. This is an application, which will provide false information that you have uploaded 5 MB for every 1MB. Just <a href="http://www.greedytorrent.com/download.php" target="_blank">download the application </a>and change ‘Report my Upload as’ to 5.90. That is it. We are ready to go now. Close Greedy Torrent (it will run in the background) and start downloading your uTorrent file with high speed that before.</div>

<h3 class="articleheading" style="background-color: #fdfdfd; color: #646464; display: inline; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
<u>Introduction:</u></span></h3>
<span style="font-size: x-small;">
<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">We see a millions of people going to different forums and websites and asking "how do i hack an email?", "Can you hack blah for me?". So thought to create a tutorial which will give you the basic idea about what the heck is a "HACK", and how to DEFEND YOUR SELF AGAINST HACKERS. </span><br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><b style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="color: red;"></span></b></span><br />

<br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">Hacking started way too far when the windowsd 98 was designed. Hacking is basically finding out the loop holes and trying leak some information out of it, which may lead you to get some critical information like passwords, credit card details. Sometimes hacking is done just because of the personal offesnses.</span></span><br />

Hacking is basically bifurcated in 2 major parts.</span><br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><br style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;" /><span style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">1.

Phishing:</b></u></span><br />
<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Phishing is basically a massive attack. What a hacker does is, they created an absoulutely look alike page of some website like yahoo or gmail. They upload it to their own server. And give the link to any n00b user. When they open it, they think that they are on the yahoo or gmail page, they put in their username and password, click on submit and WHOA! your information has been submitted. This is widely used by new people trying to entering into ahcking world.<br />Most recent example in india was some scam with ICICI bank, lots of user info was stolen as far as i remember. I read it somewhere in the news paper and was thinking what the hell! ?<br /><br /><b>Disadvantages:</b> Still many people give it a try before going for phishing, because the only problem in phishing is, even if the victim knows a little about internet, he will read the URL and understand that it is not a genuine website.</span></blockquote>
<u style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><span style="font-size: x-small;">b. Brute Forcing</span></b></u><br />
<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Brute forcer is basically a program which could be called as a "cracker". In brute forcer you put the username you want to hack, and as a password you put a notepad file which has almost all of the existing english words in it. So what it does is, it will try each and every word from that file and see if anything matches. You might have noticed some topics like "huge pass list" on different forums, they are nothing but the password list to put into your bruteforcer.!<br /><br /><b>Disadvantages:</b><br />1. Sometimes brute forcing may just go for ages!<br />2. It isnt guaranteed<br />3. These days many people have alpha-numeric-symbol password which is real tough for brutefocer to detect<br />4. Most of the famous sites like yahoo, gmail are designed in such a way that it will put the "image captcha" after 3 incorrect login attempts, which stops the bruteforcer.<br /><br />P.S:- I have made some focused FTP, Gmail & Yahoo bruteforcers which are avilable on my website.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Keylogger helps you to create a little filed which is known as "server". You gotta send your server to the victim. he has to click on it and then YOUR DONE! this is what happens.<br />Best possible way to hack someone. Keyloggers are basically a program which will install themselves in your victim's computer and will keep on recording each and every keystroke pressed by the victim on his keyboard and it will send it to the hacker. There are many ways to receive the keystroke i.e. FTP, Email, Messengers. According to me this is the best way to trick your victim and get their information.<br /><br /><b>Disadvantages </b>:<br />1. When victim receives the keylogger, in most of the cases, their anti virus would auto delete them. So you have to convince them to desable the anti virus by bluffing something.<br />2. Sometimes firewall blocks the keylogs from being sent.<br /><br /><b>Tips :</b><br />1. There are some programs which are known as "crypters" which will help you to make your server's undetectable. So your victim's anti-virus would not be able to detect them.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Trojans are like father of keyloggers. Trojan sends you the keylogs just as keyloggers, on top of that, it lets you take the control of victim's computer. Edit / delete/ upload / download files from or to their computer. Some more funny features like it will make their keyboard go mad, it may kep on ejecting and re-inserting the cd ROM. Much more..<br /><br /><b>Disadvantages </b>:<br />Same as keyloggers.<br /><br /><b>Tips :</b><br />Same as keylogger.</span></blockquote>

<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">Most of the websites these days are connected to an SQL Database. Which helps them to store usernames and passwords [encrypted] when a guest registers to their website. SQL database processes a querie everytime a user logs in. It goes to the database, validates the password, if its correct then it logs in the user and if its not then it gives an error.<br />So the basic funda is executing a command to parase a query in the database to try to exploit the internet information of the database. I cant really put the entire tutorial about because this is the most complicated way to hack the website!<br /><br /><b>P.S.:-</b> If you wanna check if YOUR website is vulnerable to RFI attach or not then do the following .<br /><br />If your site's URL is:</span><br />

<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;">XSS is another nice way to hack some website. Suppose if some website/ forum is allowing HTML in the post or articles, then a hacker can post a malicious script into the content. So whenever a user opens up the page, the cookies would be sent to the hacker. So he can login as that user and shit the website up. </span></blockquote>

<blockquote style="background-color: #fdfdfd; font-family: tahoma, verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">

And if its uploaded then WHOA!you open it from the URL bar and u can see the entire "FTP" account of that webhosting. You can rename/edit / upload/download anything u want including the index page.<br />This is also known as deface.</span></blockquote>
