According to Microsoft Windows supports 10 screen sizes from 4 to 80 inches. The new system includes a number of major innovations over Windows 8 and 8.1. For example, Windows 10 adapts better to the type of device on which it is used.

If a user runs a tablet, is displayed the touch interface was introduced with Windows. 8 Users on desktops or laptops to see a more traditional view, with desktop.

Start Menu

the start button and the start menu are back. The button is just like in Windows 7 and earlier, lower left, and opens an updated menu with apps, folders and now interactive widgets. The toolbar with commonly used software is also back bottom.

Microsoft says Windows 10 should feel especially familiar for users upgrading from Windows 7. “Windows 10 provides the familiar Windows 7 with some elements of Windows 8,” said chief software designer Joe Baltimore.

Task view

Also new in Windows 10 is Task view. With the new taskbar button users can get an overview of all open windows on their screen. Windows are then reduced to more quickly and easily between many different open windows can be changed.

Also, users with Task view to create multiple desktops. For example, a calendar and mail program are shown, while a further desktop word processor open. Single bureublad Users can maklelijk switch between multiple desktops.

In Windows 10 will be more apps work in a window. In some Windows 8 apps were running single screen, Windows 10 will be more dependent on the type of device on which the operating system.

Touchscreen

Windows 10 has a special touch display which is activated when users touch their screen. In this way, the operating system must, according to Microsoft logical sense to hybrid devices such as its own Surface Tablets that can switch between a laptop and tablet mode.

In this so-called tablet mode, the home screen is also addressed. That shows no longer screen blocks with apps, but shows such blokkken smaller. Moreover, the taskbar and start menu available in tablet mode. Buttons are mostly bigger, to make it easier. Tap

Microsoft releases Wednesday, October 8th an early test version of Windows from 10, which is also used by consumers. The final stable version of Windows 10 will be released in 2015, it is still unclear how the system will be distributed and what it will cost.

These are the 5 most important changes in Windows 10 – PC

Not Windows 9, but Windows 10 is the name of Microsoft’s new operating system. Many things are different in the OS. We put the 5 most important changes in Windows 10 under another.

1. Start Menu

The start menu is finally back, to the relief of millions of users of Windows 8 There are some changes added:

– The start menu get widgets on the spot where in Windows 7 have My Documents and the Panel were . These widgets are interactive tiles that show for example news or your latest messages on Skype.

 - You can still search by typing in the start menu, and just like before you find documents and programs
.
 - But you’re looking for right now on the web for content. It is not clear whether that necessarily with Microsoft’s Bing search engine needs, but most likely you do change it to Google.

2. Desktop vs. Mobile

Windows 10, according to one Microsoft operating system for both PCs and laptops as well as tablets and phones. How the mobile category will look like, was launched during the presentation in the middle, but it is clear that there is a distinction between the traditional desktop environment and the tile environment in Windows 8 was introduced. The latter is only available on mobile devices.

For hybrid devices like the Surface Pro 3 is a mix available that uses both environments.

3. Task view

‘Task View’ (a Dutch name is not yet known) is a new function that you can call on the taskbar. You get to see what you can see. All running apps / programs a screen at one time

Task View also makes it possible to make so you can multitask better. Multiple desktops That is for example easy for users of dual screens, but also for people who often switch back and forth between work and personal desktop.

4. Multi-tasking

It is possible to run programs in a small window, and thus to be used side by side. That’s easy to multitask, so you do not have back and forth between apps to go.

This possibility is particularly useful for users of the tile area. With Windows 8, it was in fact only possible to turn what multitasking was impractical. In fullscreen apps

 
 

5. Command prompt

For power users there is also some tinkering under the hood, and especially the scandalous old command screen. The cmd.exe, which is the same since Windows 95, Windows 10 gets a much needed update that hobbyists will make you happy. Outside the necessary design changes (cmd.exe shows the text resizing to show instead of those ugly scroll bar of the screen), you can now finally select text in the terminal. And perhaps the finest of everything? You can finally use CTRL + V to paste text.

This appears, at least from an interview on Reddit, where two men plans for the future were doing behind the Chinese companies.

Android L

OnePlus Two comes in the second or third quarter of 2015, they say. By that time should also Android L, the successor to Android 4.4, have come out. So there is a good chance that the new smartphone will run on Android L.

Smaller

Outdoor wanted the makers only hint at future phone. Thus, they suggest that the phone is smaller than the previous model, with 5.5 inch or to the large side. There were many questions about customers, say the makers.

At the invitation

It is not clear how the OnePlus Two sold. Predecessor One can be purchased until today. Only with an invite This makes the phone incredibly popular, but there are only a limited number available. Or that earnings for OnePlus Two also going to work, is not inconceivable. It works well for OnePlus, that in this way keeps the demand high without using in production. Costs too much

As previously caused a commotion in the taxi market and room rental, also plays in the world of drug purchases. Online Drug markets do not comply with existing rules and consumer control of their capricious hint. That’s partly at the expense of established providers like scooter boys with a 06-number and vague dealers in toilets and back alleys.

The only condition is comfortable with computers. The major online drug stores not on the regular internet but mostly invisible Tor network. Sit To find out, for example, the control program must be installed Tail. This makes PGP won, needed to anonymously mail. Encrytieprogramma immediately Many drug merchants say that as a requirement.

Checkout happening in bitcoin, the digital unit of the growth of the underground markets has boosted tremendously.

Drugs On Tor is indeed everything is for sale and also have terrorists, child pornography traders and ultra free spirits of their meeting, but in the marketplaces revolves mainly to traffic drugs.

The Achilles heel of that trade is the delivery. The drugs are sent via regular letters or parcels, or hidden a small product that apparently has been purchased. An ordinary store “Fantastic disguise!” Notify customers on the website. ‘Great stealth! ” Opiates and cannabis products are vacuum packed to complicate. Detection by sniffer dogs

Lsd merchants have relatively easy. These drugs have been soaked in pieces of paper per dose smaller than a penny. A delighted customer in America published on the Internet the letter he received his order: an obvious invitation to attend a Red Cross course on his work at. ‘Please Keep attached coupon as proof of your invitation. ”

Intercepts

However, orders are frequently intercepted, presumably because of targeted searches of justice that occurs as a customer. Last July discontinued cannabis dealer English Magic the supply of new addresses in France. “There are too many intercepted; 90 percent of the negative feedback is currently out of France. “

‘trusted buyers’ (trusted customers who bought more than six times), subject to a guarantee. But new or occasional customers are lost to interception. Their bitcoins The reaction pages of many smaller suppliers are full of angry complaints about drug undelivered. Scam! (Fraud).

“ We have no statistical difference in response between the use of Google Glass and smartphones .” Says Ben Sawyer of the University Florida. This conclusion was drawn after performing a test in which users were asked to send an arithmetic problem, as they sat behind the wheel.

The Rosetta with the explorer Philae flies still around the comet 67P / Tsjoerjoemov-Gerasimenko. That looks like a rubber duck. The site of the landing was announced last week. The scout should go to the “head” of the comet. There it is fairly flat.

Also there is enough sunlight to charge the battery. If the landing there anyway can not go through the ESA has an alternative at hand. That is a spot on the ‘body’ of the rubber duck. There, too, the Philae would have to land on November 12.

Nearly half an hour later, a little after 17:00 pm, the signal should arrive on earth that everything was successful. In the alternative venue that would happen a few hours later.

The scout Philae need to drill into the surface of 67P, to determine where the comet exists. Include the coming year That can scientists give a better picture of the origin of our solar system and hence of the earth.

cloud of gas and dust
Comet 67P is in fact originated from the same cloud of gas and dust from which the Earth and the other planets are clumped. The world has changed a lot in the billions of years that followed, the comet or no.

The Rosetta was launched in March 2004 and now has about 6.5 billion kilometers on the clock. The route took three times past Earth and once past Mars. The Rosetta had the gravity of the two planets needed to make the crossing to the comet. Enough speed

The mission is a showcase of Europe and will cost more than 1.3 billion euros. The Dutchman Fred Jansen leads the project.
