Design is traffic - wapka site to start using themes
As popularly known, wapka is a top wap builder for easy site creation from your mobie phone. With wapka you could make alot of money so long as you've gathered the strategies.

But something have always been awkward about wapka - its difficult to find a nice wapka designed site which have over the years caused people to look down on the wapka platform neither for the fact that it doesn't support a nice pc version or its hard to find even a good designed mobile version either. For this reason i recently got a mail that by early next year (2016), a wapka theme hosting/selling site would be launched with killer designs that will be really difficult to trace its root - mostly high quality designs with proffessional mobile/pc version and fully SEO optimized.

Above all, users can easily apply for nice free themes or purchase killer themes. This free themes would be guided with terms and conditions and nice designed ads would be placed at the footer of every free theme; note: this ads doesn't look as wapka's. With this you don't have to spend all the time creating a wapka site, just 1hour is okay to trip your users down and other webmasters too.

I think this is a very nice evolution that wapka and this wap-startup can help users create a nice wapka site in no time.

One thing great about this wap-startup is that they also have ad plans, that is to say free themes, so as to introduce more people to wapka and most possibly themes would be sold within the range of $5-$11 and for the free theme users a tiny nice ad would be placed at the footer.

Users from around Nigeria can make and confirm payments right from the site and in no time general payment would be supported from around Africa and the World.
Upon a launch date - two free .com domain would be given out to 2 users using free domain.

The mission of this project is solely to eliminate unproffessionalism on wapka and its users by a team of 5 mature heads who's ready to make the impossibility possible.

Stay tuned for more. wink emoticon

Phuc Dat Bich - An Australian Man Whose Name Goes Viral On Facebook Says He's Honoured

Australian man Phuc Dat Bich, who became an international Internet sensation because of his unbelievable strange name, says he is honoured to have brought laughter to people’s lives.

Mr Bich, a 23-year-old, who is of Vietnamese heritage, took to Facebook to vent his frustrations about his name in January. He posted it was “highly irritating that nobody seems to believe me when I say that my full legal name is how you see it”.

The National Australian Bank worker further said “I’ve been accused of using a false and misleading name… which I find very offensive. Is it because I’m Asian? Is it? Having my fb shut down multiple times”.
To prove his point, he posted a picture of his passport that had his name on it. His case recently attracted media attention with hundreds of people leaving supportive comments and more than 40,000 now following his public posts.

On Monday, he took to his page to thank the scores of supporters from around the world by saying ‘I’d like to mention that I am very grateful to those who have been supportive of certain names that populate in different cultures’.

‘We live in a diverse and multicultural society and the fact that there are people out there who are supportive and encouraging really makes me happy.’
‘I’ve never ranted nor wept that my post would get this sort of exposure,’ he continued.

‘But I am glad and honoured to be able to make people happy by simply making them laugh at something that appears outrageous and ridiculous.

‘Much tragic events have happened all over the world, out of it all only happiness can mend. As an individual I hope I have played a part in brightening your days!
‘PDB.’

The name, which is pronounced ‘Phoop Dook Bic,’ is common in Vietnam, despite the spectacular response it has received in Australia.

Facebook has not commented directly on Mr Bich’s case, but its policy on usernames state that people “provide the name they use in real life” for safety reasons, and that it “should be your authentic identity; as your friends call you in real life and as our acceptable identification forms would show”, such as passports.

Among other things it asks users to refrain from using “offensive or suggestive words of any kind” in their Facebook names.

These Are Some Questions Apple Asks During A Job Interview, Can You Solve Them?

It is not an easy task to get a job at Apple Inc., which is known for being one of the most challenging, fast paced, and exciting places to work. This dynamic becomes more intense if you happen to be an engineer or designer at Apple.

Like Microsoft, Google and other big tech companies, Apple asks both technical questions depending on your past work experience and some mind-boggling puzzles. The questions that are basically directed to determine the interviewee’s communication skills, problem solving ability and creativity.
Given below excerpts are interesting, puzzling and wacky and have been taken from the interview data from Glassdoor. These questions were asked to prospective Apple employees during their job interviews. While some required solving tricky math problems, others were simple but vague enough to keep you on your toes.

Software QA Engineer

The first example is something of a brain teaser.

There are three boxes, one contains only apples, one contains only oranges, and one contains both apples and oranges. The boxes have been incorrectly labeled such that no label identifies the actual contents of the box it labels. Opening just one box, and without looking in the box, you take out one piece of fruit. By looking at the fruit, how can you immediately label all of the boxes correctly?

The next example is a bit more interesting and needs a dash of creativity.

How do you test a prototype of a vending machine… if it doesn’t give back any change? How do you analyze what has gone wrong? You don’t have any access to internals of the vending machine.

Product Manager

Below are three interesting examples that were found during Product Manager interviews.

The first reads:
How would you write the business requirements for a toaster?

The second:
Sequence the following four items in order of importance: Cost, Design, Quality, Time.

And the third:
How would you solve an issue if you didn’t know exactly what the problem was?

Product Manager

The questions asked to prospective Product design engineers at Apple are more pointed, as they are expected to be well versed in a number of disciplines, including engineering, design, materials science and more.

√ Some of the more interesting interview questions for this position include:

* The interviewer set their iPhone on the table and asked me how I would design the Sound On/Silent toggle switch on the side of the phone. Why?
* Please name 20 different ways to remove balloons from an apartment.
* The interviewer set the rear cover of an old iPod Touch on the table and asked me to identify the materials. If you had designed this rear cover, what are 5 tests that you would conduct on the completed iPod Touch assembly to ensure that your rear cover design met all applicable requirements? Why?
* If you are in a boat in the middle of the pond and drop an anchor, how does the water level vary with respect to shore?
* What material property is related to the bendability of a given metal?
* Describe the how you would test what material is made from the remote control of the Apply TV?
* Do you do personal design work as a hobby?
* The interviewer drew a picture of an adjustable Crescent wrench on the white board. Is there an optimal orientation or direction when using the wrench to torque a hex head bolt? Why?
* Tosses an old Apple iPhone shell on the table. What materials do you see?
* What are the different ways you can you tell if this part is steel or aluminium?
* A cube (1-1-1m) of ice in a room (50C) sitting on a wooden table. the ice is 1m away from the walls around it’s 4 sides, except for 1 side is 30cm away. You’re given 2 insulating blankets (1m by 1m) that can be used to cover the ice block. The goal is to keep the ice in solid form as long as possible. Where would you put the blankets?

Software Engineer

To ensure that Apple products are best in class, software engineers are entrusted with this task for which they get a lot of money. Most questions asked to potential software engineers are mainly hardcore engineering problems. However, there were still few notable that managed to grab attention.

The first one reads:
If you have 2 eggs, and you want to figure out what’s the highest floor from which you can drop the egg without breaking it, how would you do it? What’s the optimal solution?

The second is a head scratcher but does have an answer:
You have a 100 coins laying flat on a table, each with a head side and a tail side. 10 of them are heads up, 90 are tails up. You can’t feel, see or in any other way find out which side is up. Split the coins into two piles such that there are the same number of heads in each pile.

This next one is as straight forward as they come:
Can you work long hours on a short deadline?

√ A few more goodies worth highlighting include:

* If I put you in a sealed room with a phone that had no dial tone, how would you fix it?
* Model an elevator.
* Given a deck of cards, write a method to determine if it is “flush”.
* There is a mission-critical (i.e. cannot be rebooted) server that is lagging, hard. You only have a terminal/shell prompt. How do you debug it?
* Given an iTunes type of app that pulls down lots of images that get stale over time, what strategy would you use to flush disused images over time?”
* The iPhone has a feature for when a user begins to enter a contacts name or email address a list of possible matches is built. How would you implement this in order for the search to perform quickly and change each time a user inputs a character?

Mechanical Engineer

One user on Glassdoor pointed out that he was asked the same questions during his interviews at both Apple and Lab126 (Amazon).

You put a glass of water on a record turntable and begin slowly increasing the speed. What happens first — does the glass slide off, tip over, or does the water splash out?

Global Supply Manager

A question in the Microsoft mold:
How many children are born every day?

And one more for good measure:
How would you breakdown the cost of this pen?

Pepsi P1s Launched, The Company First Ever Smartphone

Pepsi, one of world's largest beverage maker has marked its entry in the smartphone race with an affordable Android smartphone called Pepsi P1s. The phone comes with decent specs and includes a fingerprint scanner, all for around $110-$175.

Smartphone industry has been bustling with new entrants every day and this time around it’s the beverage giant Pepsi who has come up with its own phone, called the Pepsi P1s. The mid-range phone will be sold at an affordable price tag of $110 to $175 and as an option will come clad in blue color and a Pepsi logo.

At the outset this seems to be a marketing gimmick by Pepsi to enter the smartphone race and at the same time also leverage their brand presence to move up the ladder rather quickly.

Specifications of the Pepsi P1s:

The Pepsi P1s has been launched in China and it comes fitted with a 5.5-inch 2.5D curved glass display and under the hood lies an Octa-core MediaTek MT6592 processor coupled with a 2GB RAM and runs dido OS wrapped within which is the Android Lollipop 5.1. The exterior of the phone shapes up as a unibody aluminium housing along with a rear fingerprint sensor . On the imaging front, the Pepsi P1s sports a 13-Megapixel primary sensor and a 5-Megapixel secondary sensor.

Pepsi P1s features connectivity features like 4G LTE, dual-SIM support along with an hybrid microSD card slot . As suspected, Pepsi just takes care of the branding while the phone is actually manufactured by Shenzhen Scooby Communication Equipment Co . The phone will retail in two variants – the basic one being the P1 (without LTE support) and the P1s, which supports FDD-LTE.



Co-branded phones have rarely taken off. The problem with such phones usually is the fact that manufacturers try to push in a lot more branding than necessary ending up making the phone like a billboard that walks and talks with you and this is how they compensate for the low initial selling price. If Pepsi has refrained from any sort of in-the-phone branding, then we would be delighted, else it wouldn’t be a stretch to call it an AD-phone.

Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge Saves Man Life In The Paris Terrorist Attack

According to a French site, a man named Sylvestre was near the Stade de France, where France and Germany played a football friendly match. A gunman and a suicide bomber tried to storm the arena but were only able to carry out the attack near the site. Outside the stadium, a suicide plane and a shooter ruin the by exploding a bomb, and shooting rounds.

Sylvestre was hit by a section from the bomb. Under typical circumstances, he would have wound up a measurement in a body pack. Be that as it may, it just so happens, his newly purchased Samsung Galaxy S6 edge arrived to take the brunt of the assault.


Sylvestre, who bought the smartphone a few days ago, spoke on the phone when the attack began. Shrapnel from one of the explosions was toward him and reach full in the head, but found the smartphone Galaxy S6 in place. The jacket helped to protect the explosions.

On both sides of the phone, you can see what happened: on the one hand, an impact point and on the other, the fully cracked screen. The man was with a small mark resulting from the explosion and what appears to be a foot injury.

Cell phones and online networking had the real impact in getting the story out. One man of his word stuck at the Bataclan theater, where more than 100 were murdered amid a show by U.S. band Eagles of Death Metal, tweeted about the slaughter he had seen. Others caught sickening pictures seen all through the city, by utilizing the camera on their telephone.

Social networks were crucial to inform the world about the Paris attacks, either to official information or messages to relatives who are in town. Sylvestre will probably substitute the phone for a new and, fortunately, did not join the already frightening statistics of the attacks.





The video above is not in English, but you can understand what Sylvestre is trying to explain. In the event that the phone hadn’t arrived to take the hit, there is most likely about what might have transpired.

Biohackers Implant LED’s Under Their Skin To Combine Human Biology With Technology

Grindhouse Wetware, a Pittsburgh-based biohacking collective has uncovered something that could be termed as “Technology for future”. They have found an unusual way to enhance their body with implantable technology, which is a silicone implant that is equipped with LED and magnets.

The biohackers illustrated 3 implants operations last Saturday done in Dusseldorf simultaneously.

According to Motherboard, “Northstar V1” chip, an LED disc, in terms of size is somewhat similar to the size of a coin making it considerably smaller than its predecessor, the Circadia 1.0 computer chip. The LEDs light up when activated by a magnet.



The implants were performed on three people and was carried out by Swedish tattoo artist, Jowan Österlund at the Cyborg Fair in Dusseldorf, Germany. The insertions in Germany involved short surgical operations that took 15 minutes for the chip to get activated. All the demonstrations were performed in very strict conditions.



On activation, backlights mimic bioluminescence or light up the tattoos. The LED lights begin to blink if a device has a magnet attached to it. After 10 seconds, the LED lights go into sleep mood. Before they are surgically removed, it is expected that the light can be lit up 10,000 times like this.

Grindhouse Wetware, the brainchild behind the device is a self-proclaimed “rag tag group of programmers, engineers, and enthusiasts,” who hoped to blend the development of wearable technology, along with the punk ethos of body modification.



Speaking to Motherboard, the group said: “We want to transform science fiction into reality. To do so, it’s imperative that we have a decade-long study. The people at Grindhouse Wetware aren’t career academics. This is about passion and citizen science.”

When they were questioned by MotherBoard to tell the reason behind development of this device, Grindhouse Wetware said:
“You know, people from the biohacking community wanted it. They contacted us because they wanted to light up their tattoos. That’s how we generate our implants, we let the community inspire us.”

They added “For anyone who wonders what the point is for the device. Obviously it would be easier to measure biomedical data with wearable technology instead.”
“However, the device for us at Grindhouse is the first step toward a higher biology, and a step toward human-computer interfaces. We want to ensure that the future of technology is in your hands, affordable, and easy to obtain.”

These implants are to be launched somewhere next year. They’re also in the thinking stages of an upgraded Northstar V1 chip, which will be a “rechargeable device that adds gesture recognition and Bluetooth capabilities, enabling users to control electronic devices with hand movements, as well as add patterns or color variations to LED.”

Kaspersky security company had illustrated a similar experiment in September 2015 with only being that it was the RFID Biochip that was installed in a human hand.

The implant seems crazy, as putting a foreign body in your skin is not only dangerous, but it could also lead to possible infections given that the chip’s circuitry, even though it is encased in plastic contains hard metals. There are also high chances of having severe allergic reaction triggered by the said hard metal.

An Employee Who Discovered The Vulnerability In Chrome Got Rewarded By Google

During PacSec conference in Tokyo at Pwn2Own contest, a security researcher named Guang Gong showed how, through a failure of Google Chrome, you can take full control of the Android operating system. The biggest problem of this threat is the fact that it is large enough to allow a bad intentioned people to invade a smartphone or tablet through access to a single malicious link.

Details of the flaw are not fully disclosed due to security concerns of chrome users. However, Gong said that it takes advantage of JavaScript engine 8v and if any user’s visit to that malicious site then with that malicious link users will be exposed by hackers and device will be fully under controlled by hackers. The reason why the news remain secret is that hackers might start to exploit Chrome users, but soon after the vulnerability discovered the Google team product manager started the developers team on work to solve the vulnerability.

During his demonstration, the researcher was able to break into a Nexus 6 Project Fi and install an application without any kind of direct interaction. As failure uses JavaScript as the basis, it could theoretically be adapted to work with any Android-based smartphone. The control is not only limit with Chrome but also with the storage drives, the gallery and the camera, the hackers can use in this vulnerability.

As a reward for his discovery, Gong won a trip to the CanSecWest conference in 2016 and will likely get a generous prize money awarded by Google. A member of the company was in the presentation in which the failure was exposed and already hinted the company, which is currently working on ways to correct it. Basically, the attack will touch the nerve of JavaScript Engine v8, it is said that this vulnerability will not differ with the Android version users using, all the version of Android having Chrome with an inbuilt JavaScript v8 engine can eliminate the system to hackers hand.

As we have said that an employee got a perfection with respect from the people who known to him, Gong have won a trip to the CanSecWest Security Conference which will be held on 2016 also received bounty which namely calling as bug Bounty from Google, the amount which is not disclosed, after Google Chrome team heard about the vulnerability in Chrome in v8 JavaScript Engle, the team rush to the conference meeting where Gong showing that how this vulnerability works, and soon after that the team congratulate the Bug finder and they rush to the Google Headquarter to recover and fix the vulnerability as quick as possible.

Now the vulnerability is solved by the team and the Google Chrome team head implies thank you note to Gong.

Microsoft’s AI Tool Can Detect A Person Mood By Scanning Photos

Microsoft can know if you are happy or sad with its new Artificial Intelligence technology tool.

The one thing that separate humans from machines is that we have emotions and feelings, which cannot simply be broken down into the binary code. Well, Microsoft is trying to give the same ability to machines to sense what we humans are feeling at the moment through the analysis of photos.

Microsoft revealed that it plans to release new tools in its Project Oxford that will help developers take advantage of latest advances in machine learning and artificial intelligence, including a tool that can recognize emotion. The announcement was made by the company at the Future Decoded conference in London on Wednesday.

Project Oxford introduced in May at the Build conference is a suite of developer tools based on Microsoft’s machine learning and artificial intelligence research.
It uses a Web-based RESTful interface to add text, voice, and image services. Project Oxford face, speech, and computer-vision APIs have also been included as part of the Cortana Analytics Suite.

Based on universal facial expressions, the emotion tool can be used to create systems that recognise eight intrinsically human emotional states – anger, contempt, fear, disgust, happiness, neutral, sadness or surprise.

It’s hoped that developers will use these to create apps that let marketers gauge people’s reaction to shop windows, films, or even food.

The emotion tool is now available to developers as a public beta, which is a limited free trial. Other new tools announced on Wednesday will be released as beta versions by the end of the year.

This also include a spell check tool, which will identify common sense errors like the difference between “four” and “for” thanks to contextual machine learning as well as slang words.

It also includes video – which detects motion, automatically edits video by tracking faces, and stabilizes shaky video as seen in the Microsoft Hyperlapse.
Speaker recognition will also be available for free by the end of the year, allowing developers to learn the intricacies of an individual’s voice. This could assist with security measures, Microsoft said.

Custom Recognition Intelligent Services (CRIS) can tailor voice recognition for a specific situation, such as a noisy venue. The tool can be used to help an app better understand people who have traditionally had issues with voice recognition, such as non-native speakers or those with disabilities. Microsoft said that it will be available as an invite-only beta by the end of the year.

Updates to Project Oxford’s face APIs to include facial hair and smile prediction tools, and gender identification and an improved visual age estimation were also announced by Microsoft.

Face detection and connecting speaker recognition may also serve as the foundation an authentication system for users similar to what Google is doing with the still-under-development Project Abacus.

Developers can visit the Microsoft Project Oxford website to find the APIs.

Windows 10 Being Installed Secretly On Windows 7/8.1 PCs, Microsoft Says Its Official

Many Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 users had reported over last week that Microsoft was trying to install Windows 10 on their computers without any permission. Now the company has admitted that it is in fact doing that.

According to Forbes, many users were being prompted to restart their systems after downloading what seemed to be standard security updates. On restart however, the users found that the Windows 10 installation was under way. Some users checked the update history status and found that Windows 10 had tried but failed to install itself without permission over and over again.

One Forbes reader (who wishes to remain anonymous) who found his computer attempted to install Windows 10 on 31 separate occasions. A screenshot showing some of these attempts can be seen below.



The reason given by Microsoft for all this problems is a bug. According to Microsoft the fault lies with a bug in an automatic update it began rolling out to Windows 7 and Windows 8 users in August which triggered the attempted installations. Microsoft didn’t disclose which specific update it was, but confirmed it left the error code ‘0×80240020’ (sometimes recorded as ‘080240020’) in Windows log files when upgrade attempts failed.

As the upgrade attempts all happened silently in the background, those affected would only know Windows 10 would attempt to update once they restarted their computer. For those computers where the update began but failed in the background (apparently a high proportion) they’d be none the wiser without checking their installation history between August and November.

Microsoft Transfered Its Hosted Data Centers To Germany

Microsoft is delivering its cloud administrations, including Azure, Office 365 and Dynamics CRM Online to two new data centers in Germany, The server farms, situated in Magdeburg and Frankfurt am Main.

Access to customer data stored in these new data centers will be under the control of T-Systems and Microsoft will not be able to access the data without the permission of customers or the data trustee, Microsoft said in a statement Wednesday. If permission is granted by the data trustee, Microsoft will access the data only under its supervision.

The roll out of the data centers is scheduled for next year with availability of services planned for the second half of 2016. Services will be available to customers in Germany, the European Union and the European Free Trade Association.

The move by Microsoft is apparently aimed at assuaging German concerns about storing its data with a U.S. cloud company, particularly after revelations by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden, about large-scale NSA surveillance in the country and abroad.

Microsoft and other tech companies faced a setback last month when the Court of Justice of the European Union declared invalid a "safe harbor" agreement governing personal data transfers between the EU and the U.S., as the data was not protected from spying by U.S. agencies.



The Redmond, Washington-based software company is also resisting in an appeals court in New York demands from the U.S. government for access to emails of a person that are stored in a server in Ireland.

Deutsche Telekom is supervising access to the infrastructure that houses customer data at the high-security data centers, while also providing connections over its network between the data centers.

On Tuesday, Microsoft announced plans to offer its Office 365 and Azure services from data centers in the U.K. by late next year. Rival Amazon Web Services has also announced plans for a U.K. data center cluster by early 2017.

Facebook Will Not Allow You To Post ‘Tsu.co’ On It Platforms

Any link to Tsu.co is being blocked by Facebook on every platform it owns, including Messenger and Instagram. In fact, it has deleted more than 1 million Facebook posts that ever mentioned Tsu.co. As of now making comments, pictures, and videos about Tsu.co disappear immediately.

You can type the name “Tsu on FB timeline,” but the moment you write “Tsu.co” or post any link from the rival social networking website, you’ll be blocked.

The reason is that tsu.co is the domain of the Tsu social network, a recently launched website that works exactly like Facebook, MySpace, hi5, and other social media sites, but with a twist. Unlike Facebook, Tsu promises to share advertising revenue with users. Tsu keeps only 10% of the ad revenue while the user keeps 45%, and the chain of friends invited to Tsu split the rest. On the other hand, most social media sites, including Facebook keep 100% of the profit from the ads displayed on the user’s page.

You get a financial incentive to post on Tsu, invite people to Tsu, and direct people to your Tsu page and even get incentive for sending people to the Tsu pages of the users who got you into the Tsu network.

This launch strategy has paid dividends, and in its first six months, over 3.5 million people registered on Tsu, more than Twitter or Facebook ever got in the same period.

According to Facebook, Tsu links are spam that are irritating the community, while Tsu thinks that Facebook is behaving like a bully trying to kill off the competition.

“We’re persona non grata,” said Sebastian Sobczak, who founded Tsu. “You can type in all sorts of seedy websites, and you can get to them. But not us. We don’t exist.”

However, it definitely incentivizes scammy spammy comments with links. This means that your Facebook feed could easily be flooded with Tsu.co links and that is what happens when you give a Tsu.co link.



In order to boost their earnings including getting more friends, Tsu users are creating fake accounts. Facebook says that its users started reporting Tsu.co links as spam, which it defines as “sending bulk messages, excessively posting links … and sending friend requests to people you don’t know personally.”

Facebook cut off Tsu.co entirely on September 25.
With average of more than 2,534 visits a day, Tsu said it had been getting an appropriate amount of traffic from Facebook. But Tsu called upon Facebook when the visits dropped to zero and argued that it did not break Facebook’s terms of service, as it did not pay users to push content to Facebook.

It did not work.
However, Facebook said that they will unblock Tsu on one condition. Their users should not be able to post on Tsu and Facebook at the same time.

“We do not allow developers to incentivize content sharing on our platform because it encourages spammy sharing,” said Melanie Ensign, a Facebook spokesperson.

A dozen of Tsu users who are mainly models, photographers, and other artists drawn spoke to CNNMoney about what they had to say about Tsu’s more equitable pay-for-content program. While many of them have not made money yet, they felt that the block by Facebook is not justified.

Claudia Everest, a 47-year-old cancer survivor residing in northern England started A Dog A Day by drawing 25 dogs every day and selling her work from home in order to pass her time during chemotherapy. However, Facebook angered her when the social networking giant deleted every post of her that mentioned Tsu.co.

“Facebook either completely removed or labeled them as malicious content,” she said. “If you take a look at my cartoons I think you will agree that the idea that my work is malicious is laughable.”

Carolina Franco, a 28-year-old Colombian model is of the view that Facebook’s strategy is an effort to keep its users from straying away to a competitor.

“Very few people even know about Tsu,” she said. “I don’t believe that Facebook and Instagram want Tsu to go viral. It would cost them a lot of money.”

Microsoft Launches Private Beta Version Of Cortana For iPhone

Microsoft has launched ‘Hi Cortana’ for iOS devices, but will have limited features as compared to Windows Phone version

Read also: Microsoft Launches Beta Version Of Cortana On Android Devices

Microsoft today launched a private beta program for Cortana on iOS. It describes the Cortana app as a “companion to your Windows 10 PC” that extends Cortana’s functionality across to your mobile device, allowing you to use the digital assistant on the go.

After being tested intensively by company employees for six months, Microsoft wants to get more feedback on Cortana from those participating in the Windows Insider program before rolling it out to users in the store.

“In the spirit of the Windows Insider Program, we’re looking for a limited number of people to get their hands on an early version of the app. It’s important to keep in mind that this is the first public release of the Cortana for iOS beta,” the company said in an announcement on its Community forums.

“We want help from our Windows Insiders to make sure she’s a great personal assistant on iOS too,” says Microsoft, adding that it’s looking for a limited number of people who will get their hands on an early version of the Cortana for iPhone app.
The company is now taking sign ups for Cortana for iPhone and initially it will be only offered to those in the United States and China. In the coming months, the company promises to provide frequent updates to ensure that it significantly improves its performance before it is rolled out to the public.

As far as looks go, Cortana on Android isn’t all that different from the PC version. You can send emails, set reminders, schedule events, search the web, track flights and do the usual voice-powered searches Cortana has long been able to handle on other platforms.

However, you may not be able to just say “Hey Cortana” (Microsoft’s version of “OK Google”) to start the app for the time being, as Cortana doesn’t have full access to your Android phone. You also won’t be able to open apps from Cortana or toggle settings. All of these features are currently only available on Windows 10 PCs.

Those users who are interested in getting a chance to take Cortana for iPhone for a spin will first need to fill out a survey before being allowed to sign up. Microsoft says it will begin sending out download links over email “in the coming weeks” but that it will be starting with a limited number of testers.

While a public beta of Cortana for Android was launched in August, Microsoft has yet to reveal when it plans to release the Android and iOS versions out of beta.

Microsoft To Discontinue Windows 7 And 8.1 From November 2016

Now that Windows 10 has been launched and in a full flow, Microsoft CEO, Satya Nadella has decided to pull the plug on the iconic Windows 7 and the forgettable Windows 8.1. If you still want to buy a PC that comes with Windows 7 or 8.1, you’ve got less than a year.

ZDNet found out that the Redmond-based tech giant will shutter Windows 7/8.1 from November 2016 from Microsoft’s “Windows lifecycle fact sheet” which was published in the last week of October.

The Windows lifecycle factsheet shows that Microsoft has opted for October 31, 2016, as the “end of sales for PCs with Windows preinstalled” for both Windows 7 Professional and Windows 8.1.

Apparently after that date, the only choice for Windows PC buyers will be to purchase new computers with Windows 10 installed. The lone exception will be businesses with license agreements that entitle them to choose which version of Windows they want preinstalled.

Those users who want to continue running Windows 7 on their PCs need not worry. Microsoft will provide Windows 7 users with extended technical support until January 14, 2020. This means that they will continue to get security patches, bug fixes and other updates. Windows 8 users will get such extended technical support until January 10, 2023.

Despite the extended deadline for Windows 7 and 8.1, Microsoft is heavily pushing Windows 10. In fact from 2016, the Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 will get Windows 10 as a “recommended update.”

Microsoft Set To Release Windows 10 Mobile on November 12

Microsoft will be having a field day on November 12 as it will be releasing the Fall update for Windows PC along with Windows 10 Mobile and the update for XBOX. The Redmond company seems to be striving hard to bring the Windows 10 experience across multiple devices thus enriching the Windows ecosystem.

November 12th is the day on which Microsoft will be releasing the fall update for the Windows 10 PC, also called as
Threshold 2 but it sure does has some other surprises in its kitty as well. Windows 10 Mobile will be released on the same day and the update dubbed “Fall refresh” will seed for both Windows 10 PC and Windows Mobile.

Both the builds are said to be stable and successfully address the bugs from the previous builds. The obvious question that follows is when Windows 10 Mobile will start seeding for all the devices. The answer to this question is twofold, first things first, even if Microsoft is ready with the updates right away it will still depend on the carriers as they supposedly require generous amount of time for testing purposes and the updates will seed region wise thus delaying the process further. As of now, Lumia devices like Lumia 540, 434, 640, 640 XL are expecting the Windows 10 Mobile update shortly.

Windows Insiders on the other hand will be treated to another update with build number 10586 which will give us a sneak peek on what the November 12 update has in store for us. Alongside the updates, it is most likely that Microsoft will announce the release date of Lumia 950 and the Lumia 950 XL which are expected to start shipping by end of November or Early December this year.

Microsoft wants to strengthen its commitment to its ecosystem and in a way wants to show off its strength. It would be a spectacular scene to see the Redmond giant pull away with all the three updates on a single day and this speaks volumes about the fact that how Microsoft wants to reinvent itself.

Microsoft Says Windows 10 Automatic Spying On Users Cannot Be Stopped

Microsoft says that it cant stop Windows 10 from spying on users, “its official ”

Microsoft seems to be getting more and more emboldened with its spying ways. A few weeks earlier, it was making Windows 7 users download the Windows 10 upgrade due to a ‘mistake.’ A few days back it was said that from next year the Windows 10 will be made a ‘recommended update’ instead of a optional update making Windows 7 and Windows 8/8.1 users upgrade to Windows 10 even if they are unwilling to.

Now comes the real shocker. Windows 10’s automatic spying on you cant be stopped. Even Microsoft cant stop Windows 10 from automatically spying on you.

Microsoft Corporate Vice President, Joe Belfiore explained to PC World that Windows 10 is constantly tracking how it operates and how you are using it and sending that information back to Microsoft by default. More importantly he also confirmed that, despite offering some options to turn elements of tracking off, core data collection simply cannot be stopped :

“In the cases where we’ve not provided options, we feel that those things have to do with the health of the system,” he said. “In the case of knowing that our system that we’ve created is crashing, or is having serious performance problems, we view that as so helpful to the ecosystem and so not an issue of personal privacy, that today we collect that data so that we make that experience better for everyone.”

So if you still think its alright for Microsoft to spy on you through Windows 10 then you will be comfortable with Windows 10 which has been billed as the best operating system ever. However if you are a private person (anonymous) and would like to remain so, its time to ditch Microsoft altogether and get Linux.
