7 Different Versions of the Upcoming Windows 10

Microsoft has recently detailed the various versions of its upcoming Windows 10 OS. Windows 10 is set to be a major overhaul and update of the existing Windows 8 which was met with some criticism in trying to bridge the gap between PCs and mobile devices including smartphones and tablets. Microsoft has also decided to create an entirely new browser called Edge which will replace the troubled Internet Explorer browser. As with previous editions of Windows, Windows 10 will come in several different flavors to meet the needs of various consumers. From the typical home user on a PC, to the mobile user on a smartphone or tablet, to the enterprise business or education user, each will have a different version of Windows 10. This time around there will be seven, yes seven, versions of Windows 10 to fill every niche available.

Windows 10 Home – For the typical home user, the aptly named Windows 10 Home will be shipped on most consumer PCs. This includes the standard Windows 10 OS features familiar to most people with a desktop or laptop running Windows and should be more than enough for the average user.

Windows 10 Mobile – This version is optimized for small touch based devices such as smartphones and tablets. It will feature the familiar Windows Phone style interface and have touch-optimized versions of Windows apps.

Windows 10 Pro – The Pro version will be an upgraded version of Home with additional features and optimizations for hybrid laptop tablets, tablets, desktops and laptops. It is intended for advanced consumers and small businesses.

Windows 10 Enterprise – Enterprise will have even more features than the Pro version and is aimed at businesses and organizations that need to keep their devices highly synchronized and secure.

Windows 10 Education – Education is designed for schools to meet the needs of students, educators, and administrators.

Windows 10 Mobile Enterprise – Mobile Enterprise is meant to complement Windows 10 Enterprise and covers those mobile devices including smartphones and tablets that might be in use in the business or organization.

Windows 10 IoT Core – IoT Core is for small low-cost devices such as consumer terminals, ATMs, etc. that don’t require certain components.

That’s a lot to keep in mind but at least Microsoft has all bases covered.

Meerkat – Stream Video Live to All Your Twitter Fans

Livestreaming from your smartphone just got a lot easier with Meerkat, the latest app featuring Twitter integrated smartphone video streaming. Though there are a number of competing apps on the market, Meerkat distinguishes itself with ease of use and accessibility. The real attraction of Meerkat is the seamless ability to instantly stream a video feed from your smartphone to all of your Twitter followers. You even login using your Twitter account so you can begin streaming immediately provided you are already a Twitter user.

Meerkat leverages the vast network of Twitter to allow for some nifty features that enhance the streaming experience both for the streamer and their Twitter followers. As soon as you begin streaming, you’ll be able to see how many people are watching in real time as the number (hopefully) grows as viewers join in. Even better, you can set the app to send push notifications when you begin streaming so that all your Twitter followers know the moment you begin the stream. To add to the interactive side, your followers can comment and tweet about the stream in real time and these comments are viewable within the app and stream. Of course if you’re streaming, you can tweet back and forth with your viewers. Viewers can also retweet the ongoing stream to their followers to attract even more viewers.

Meerkat does not save the streams so you’ll have to jump into them live in order to view them. You do have the option to save your stream locally to your phone if you want to keep it for later viewing or posting online.

Conveniently, Meerkat is not limited to smartphones and tablets and streams are also watchable on the web via PC or any device with a capable web browser.

The future of livestreaming is shaping up to be an interesting one. Who knows how the world will deal with a near infinite supply of streaming cat selfies, live sports, and awkward public moments?

Should you wish to remove one of the Apple Watch apps from the watch itself, it is a simple matter of holding down on the icon of the app you wish to delete. The apps will move around indicating they can be edited and all you need to do to delete one is tap the small red X in the corner as you would on the iPhone. The much smaller display makes this a tad more difficult but it is easy all the same. When an app is deleted from the Apple Watch it is automatically toggled off on your iPhone.

Release Soon Jailbreak for Taig, Pangu, iOS 8.3 and iOS 8.4? Iphone 6 Plus

Some interesting news has been surfacing recently regarding a possible and long-awaited jailbreak for Apple devices running iOS 8.3 and the new iOS 8.4 beta. Though a few methods of jailbreaking firmwares such as iOS 8.13 and iOS 8.2 have been discovered, they were quickly patched by Apple, rendering them useless. The recent release of the Apple Watch has attracted the attention of notable hackers who may be close to revealing jailbreaks for the latest iOS revisions. The Apple Watch requires at least iOS 8.2 which would mean giving up a working jailbreak on any lower firmware.

The other notable event is the very recent release of the iOS 8.4 developer beta which means an official iOS 8.4 is incoming soon. By analyzing this latest iOS, it is likely that hackers will be able to devise jailbreak methods that can be applied to the upcoming iOS 8.4 and recent lower firmwares. This is great news for anyone who has upgraded beyond firmwares with a working jailbreak and is still patiently waiting for one on the latest revisions. Luckily the combination of interest in the Apple Watch and the recent iOS updates makes this a very likely possibility.

For now though, you’ll have to settle for the choice between either a lower jailbroken firmware or a recent one with no jailbreak. It can be a tough decision to enjoy Cydia apps and more customization on your iOS device or the ability to use a shiny new Apple Watch with your iPhone. At least one hacker, ion1c, has posted a YouTube video showing a full jailbreak on iOS 8.4 beta 1.

So don’t despair, have patience and in due time a jailbreak for iOS 8.3 and beyond will arrive.

Seene Brings 3D Photos To iOS & Android

Ever been jealous of the 3D photos that some smartphones are capable of? Seene aims to remedy that envy for iOS users by bringing full 3D photography without the need for dual cameras or any special equipment. All you need is a device running iOS 7.0 or later with a camera, and you’re all set to begin taking and sharing 3D photos.

Image: Google

To take a photo, you choose a subject and take an initial calibration photo. Seene needs a certain number of reliable points on the subject for comparison, with good ones showing up in green. If there aren’t enough, you won’t be able to take a 3D photo and will need to adjust your lighting or subject. Seene will then ask you to slowly move the camera around the subject to gather data to generate the final 3D photo. There are four indicators that appear on screen that turn green when you’ve obtained enough data in that direction. The process is somewhat tricky and may take a few attempts before it produces an acceptable 3D image. It also has problems with transparent objects and on occasion a weird blending between background and foreground happens. Once it works however, the results are pretty amazing and the photo shifts in 3D with each movement of the device’s gyroscope in your hand.

Once you’re satisfied with a photo and would like to share it, you can save it on the device or view it on Seene’s website through your account or make it viewable by anyone. Your 3D photos can also be embedded in certain sites and expanded support is very likely. You can also like, share, and favorite photos from other users which brings a social network element to the app.

Seene is a fun new take on photos for anyone interested in 3D. It’s available free on iTunes with an Android version in the works. Good luck getting your cat to stay still though.
