The tablet is made by Samsung and, according to reports from the conference, it’s not at all an ordinary tablet. How can we get one? Well unfortunately, that probably won’t be possible unless you want to spend some cash on Ebay. The new Windows 8 Tablet is was made specifically for this event, for developers and it will almost certainly remain that way. Even the name of the tablet says that: Samsung Windows 8 Developer Preview PC....

There was a Flappy Bird-type game in Android 5.0 Lollipop and a similar type of game in Android 6.0 Marshmallow with different graphics. Then Android 7.0 Nougat had the secret cat collecting game which is referred to as Neko Android. It’s the one Easter Egg that I used regularly during my Nougat run before upgrading to Oreo. The Neko Android cat dish still shows up in my shade since upgrading, but it doesn’t work anymore....
What Is It? In this game, you’re trying to move a character into a portal in as few moves as possible. You have to start over if you move the pieces too many times.

What happened in 2004? Google introduced Gmail, and as Google often likes to do with their products, they totally up-ended the industry. Pre-Gmail, you got a paltry amount of space for emails, and you were expected to suck it up and like it. But now Gmail was offering one gig of space on an invite-only basis. I was ready to sell my grandmother that day for a Gmail invite (and I love her dearly)....

The Galaxy Nexus is there, but not here. That’s the view of the first Ice Cream Sandwich Android phone from these United States. Despite being available in Europe for weeks now, Samsung’s official Google phone with Android 4.0 has still not officially been released in the U.S. The latest news today is that the Galaxy Nexus is now set to be released this Thursday, but this isn’t the first time we’ve heard such a song and dance–with multiple sources claiming it’s nearly certain to drop in a few days, only to be greeted with more silence from Verizon....
Because Windows Media Player (WMP) has been included in every version of Windows since 2000, a lot of users are highly invested in it.

Find Windows Media Player From the Start screen type: wmp and right-click the Windows Media Player icon and pin it to the traditional desktop taskbar for easy access.

Honestly, Microsoft has done a great job minimize reboots however they as well as 3rd party software publishers will normally error on the side of caution and prompt you for a reboot whether or not one is required from the software install. Many for instance during a software patch or upgrade like to do a full uninstall, get a clean reboot then re-install their software in order to prevent possible issues and calls to their support desk… Can’t say I blame them....

As a Windows 10 user, you should already know that the company is treating Windows 10 as a service (WaaS). That means updates are rolled out automatically in the background without you having to check for them manually. However, the biggest complaint from customer feedback is that their computer would restart after an upgrade at the most inopportune times and disrupt your workflow. Currently, you can manage Windows Update with the Active Hours feature....

This is something we pointed out in our article: What to Expect from Windows 8.1 Update. You’ll find yourself in PC Settings a lot to check for updates, manage apps, accounts, devices, and more. Previously you had to go through the Charms bar click Settings > Change PC Settings which is annoying. You can make it much easier to access by pinning it to the Taskbar and get directly to where you need to be....

If you’re part of the Windows 10 Mobile Insider program, you’ve probably had to use this once or twice while testing out the mobile builds…I sure have. In fact, to install Windows 10 Mobile build 10136 you were required to use it to restore your phone to Windows Phone 8.1 first. The name change may seem minor, but has implications of the future. The new name reflects that it’s not just for Windows Phone, but also other devices, like small tablets that will run the Windows 10 mobile OS....

Free Xbox Live Gold Since you’ll be able to access all of the Gold features, you should be able to download this month’s free game.

It looks like the current free one is Might in Magic: Clash of the Heroes, in the US anyway....
