First shots of Windows 10 for Phones emerge Microsoft's next mobile operating system is taking shape Windows 10 could come with a brand new Microsoft browser We're still waiting to get a first-hand look at Windows 10 for Phones , but in the meantime a few screenshots, purportedly from the technical preview, have been leaked. While they show an interface that looks somewhat similar to Windows Phone 8.1 there are a number of differences too. The images, which were shared with NokiaPowerUser by Kiran Kanade , show a tiled interface with a new notifications system which in this shot looks similar to the existing one, but which according to Microsoft will allow for synced notifications across different devices, so if you clear one on your phone it will also clear it on your desktop. Above that you can see new quick settings toggles, with far more options than are found in Action Centre on Windows Phone 8.1 , including the likes of VPN and quiet hours. There...

10 best Android launchers: amazing ways to supercharge your phone On an Android phone, the launcher is the app responsible for the home screen, the app 'grid', and launching the aforementioned apps. Phones generally come with either the stock Google launcher, or more commonly, a launcher whacked on top by a hardware manufacturer like Samsung. But, if you don't get on with your phone's default launcher, installing a new one just takes a quick visit to the Google Play Store. 1. Google Now Launcher Google's very own stock Android launcher is now up for grabs - but just because it's the Android standard, doesn't mean it's boring. For your money (well, actually, it's free), you get easy access to Google Now, button-free voice controls, and enough transparent window-bars to make you think you're back in Windows Vista. It's compatible straight out of the box with all Nexus and Google Play Edition devices, and two minutes w...

Xbox One is finally getting a screenshot feature Xbox One screenshots incoming Microsoft has been teasing a screenshot feature for the Xbox One for a long time, but despite frequent updates to the console it still can't snap an image of its own display. Sony's PS4 has had the ability since launch, making it extra irksome for Xbox fans who've been waiting more than a year just to be able to take a screenshot. Here's what to expect at MWC 2015 But it seems the feature is finally coming, as Microsoft Studios and Xbox head Phil Spencer today tweeted a screenshot of his Xbox One developer unit taking a screenshot. "Nice to finally be doing this on my Xbox One dev kit," he wrote. Spencer said last October that the feature was still "months away," making this the perfect time for it to debut. Hopefully we'll see it in the next Xbox One update in March.

Windows How to Install Free, Effective Antivirus Software (for Beginners) Anyone running a Windows computer knows how important it is to have good anti-virus software-but you don't need to pay for good protection! If someone you know still doesn't have anti-virus software running, here's a quick guide you can send them to help them set it up. This guide was originally published in 2011, but our recommendations have changed since then. Microsoft Security Essentials, our previous favorite, is no longer adequately rated by most antivirus tests. If you're an advanced user, Avast is our personal favorite antivirus program, but it requires some configuration. For beginners, I can't recommend Bitdefender's Free Edition highly enough. Note: This guide is for Windows users. If you're on a Mac, we recommend installing Sophos instead. Here's how to set up Bitdefender on your Windows PC: Head over to the Bitdefender's Free Edition home page (...

The Mac OS X Photos App Represents A New Stage In Apple’s Cross-Platform Evolution Apple launched its dedicated Photos app for OS X as a developer preview today, and the app marks a clean break from iPhoto in almost every way, with the new software representing a completely new experience from basic code all the way to the user interface. But while it owes a lot to its mobile predecessor, it’s not just a port: The app has some of Aperture’s DNA, and its development team at Apple includes some of the same folks who previously worked on Cupertino’s pro offering. While Photos is definitely aimed at general consumers, and isn’t meant as an Aperture replacement, it does a great job of reflecting the maturation of the general photographer – taking pictures was, at its outset, a hobby reserved for the wealthy and patient, has become so prevalent that if you were to hear about someone who simply didn’t take photos, you’d probably think they were at leas...
