And finally,  its here. The Windows 9 we have all being waiting for is almost at your finger tips and unfortunately it is indeed Window 10. Here is an introductory article from Microsoft about the new and amazing features we would be see in the highly anticipated Windows 10. Read the article and watch  a video below; It’s a humbling and amazing thing to work on Windows, which is used by over 1.5 billion people in every country of the world. From kids playing with computers for the first time, to writers and journalists, to engineers, to gamers, to CEOs, at some point Windows has empowered all of us. In the Windows team, we’re proud of this – but we also know that the world today is very different from the one in which Windows grew up. Today, devices outnumber people. Connectivity is like oxygen. The tension between the desire for agility versus stability poses a huge challenge for IT Pros. Experiences – no matter what device you’re on – just need to work. The only thing...

Earlier yesterday Carphone Warehouse unboxed the Sony Xperia Z3 in a less-than-ordinary fashion — by unboxing it underwater. That’s not the only notable unboxing video hitting today, as Samsung has now released an unboxing vid for the Samsung Galaxy Note 4. While Samsung’s video isn’t as unique as what Carphone Warehouse brought us for the Z3, it is the first unboxing of the Note 4 and gives us a closer look at what to expect. Keep in mind that the video shows off the Korean model, which arrived today, ahead of original schedule. That means that the boxing materials may not be exactly the same as you’ll find in other markets, and it also means the video is in Korean, though there are English subtitles. Looking for more details regarding the Note 4? Check out our original IFA announcement, as well as our hands-on first look of the latest Note: While the wait has ended for those in South Korea, the rest of the world doesn’t have too much longer as the handset is expected...

Here comes the power of a worldly CCTV camera device as Detective Karl Romero spotted the eerie ghost-like figure while monitoring the CCTV footage of his station in Espanola There was something strange in this neighbourhood and luckily it was outside a police station – after officers observed an eerie orb-like figure on CCTV skulking around their premises last Saturday. Detective Karl Romero was checking the surveillance cameras of his station in Espanola, New Mexico, when he saw what looked like a ghost within a secured area outside the building. He told Action 7 News that he even saw it move through cages and a gate as it traversed the car park, before alerting it to his supervisors. “At first I thought it was a podilla, a fly or moth, then I saw the legs and it was a human. But not a real human. No. A ghost,” Mr Romero told Khon2. Unauthorised movement inside or out of the controlled area would sound an alarm, leaving police baffled. “A lot of officers have se...

You’ve had your smartphone for a while, but let’s face it: You’ve never read the manual. You take great pride that you know how to use it, and then it happens: You see someone do something extraordinary with his or her phone that you did not know was even possible. Friends don’t let friends have smartphone skill envy. Here are some of my favorite secrets buried in your phone settings that you probably don't know, but will use now. 1. Take a screenshot Have you ever wanted to capture something on your phone's screen? Maybe it's a hilarious text from a friend, or an interesting Facebook post, or you want to send someone an image to show her how to do something. iPhone Press and hold the Home button along with the Sleep/Wake button. You should hear a shutter click. The screenshot will appear in your Camera Roll or Saved Photos section. Android Hold the Power and Volume Down buttons at the same time. The image is saved to the "Captured Images" folder ...

The folks over at Carphone Warehouse just added a new twist to an old concept. For Sony’s new Xperia Z3 flagship, the UK retailer sent a bloke to the bottom of a swimming pool to do an underwater unboxing. Just don’t ask us why. Sony Xperia Z3 underwater unboxing  The Xperia Z3 is resistant to elements, just like its predecessors, though Sony upped the ante with a double certification, IP65 and IP68. This means that the phone is “dust tight” and that it can withstand low-pressure jets of water from all practicable directions (IP65), as well as immersions under 1.5 m of fresh water for up to 30 minutes (IP68). Just don’t forget to properly close all the flaps on the phone before you take it for a dip – Sony will not replace your water-damaged phone if it finds that the flaps work as intended. We’ll have the Xperia Z3 soon in-house for our own reviews and feature focus posts. Until then, Carphone Warehouse guy, we challenge you to do a full underwater review. What do you...

And here comes the beginning of a new dawn for Apple iPhone history. It's something which will send a shudder down the spines of a collective of die-hard Apple fans, a handset some thought we'd never see from the Cupertino-based outfit. Yet it has landed, staring down the barrel of the biggest iPhone in history - the iPhone 6 Plus. It arrived alongside the iPhone 6 - Apple's new flagship smartphone - which measures 4.7 inches, making it more welcoming to a wider array of palms than the supersized iPhone 6 Plus. Many of you, especially those of an Android persuasion, may be wondering what all the fuss is about. After all the Samsung Galaxy Note 2 turned up with a 5.5-inch display over two years ago. Take a moment to glance at the history of the iPhone though, and you'll see why the iPhone 6 Plus is such a big deal. Previously Apple has only dealt in two screen sizes - a 3.5-inch display graced the first five generations of iPhone, and just three have had the pl...
