When Windows 10 launches next week, Microsoft’s Cortana voice assistant will be coming to the U.S., UK, China, France, Italy, Germany and Spain. And now Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Insider members from six more countries will get Cortana, as well. These include Australia, Canada (English only), India (English) and Japan in the “coming months.” and Brazil, Mexico and French-speaking Canadians later this year. Even if Cortana is also going to be available in English in India, Australia and Canada, it takes such a long while to bring it to them because Microsoft is busy working on local customization which puts into focus each individual country and culture....

PDF-XChange Lite is a popular PDF creator application that allows you to create or save PDF documents from any windows application. The funny thing is that this software doesn’t have any user interface, which I am sure, will confuse many users. Rather, it installs a ‘Virtual Printer’ driver and generates a full Adobe compatible, native PDF format file when you print your documents by selecting PDF-XChange as the required printer....

Zookz is based out of US (from Antigua) 2. It seems the WTO ruled with Antigua after a long series of battles over the fact that US restrictions on online gambling were found to violate free trade agreements. Despite the decision, no new forms of offshore online betting were allowed in the US. In retaliation, Antigua received permission from the WTO to suspend US copyright obligations up to a value of $21 million dollars annually....

We are trying a different format this time around. So do let us know your feedback in the comments section below....

In 2011, Twitter joined Samsung, Intel and IBM by taking up membership of the Linux foundation. “Linux and its ability to be heavily tweaked is the fundamental to our technology infrastructure,” said Chris Aniszczyk, open source manager at Twitter. Remember the Large Hadron Collider at CERN? The place where scientists were trying to collide proton particles fora better understanding of the origin of the universe? Yes, they too have been using Linux....

And it seems that Microsoft plans to come up with some impressive specs and features in its upcoming smartphone, rumored to be the Lumia 940 and Lumia 940 XL. Back in March, we reported on a rumor which was suggesting that they could get an iris scanner for niometric authentication along with support for a docking station. Now we’ve got some fresh intel which further suggests the phones are indeed going to get some impressive features....

Now the same gaming studio is back, which by the way now consists of six members including Nguyen, with another painful mobile free-to-play game, Swing Copters 2. The concept all around remains identical, players are asked to move around the same pixelated creature wearing the good old loved propeller hat through a tiny space between two swinging hammers. Like before, it is endless but getting to a score of 2 is still a challenge....

And today, we see that Flipkart mobile website is back on UC Browser as well. We are not sure when exactly did Flipkart started working on UC Browser, but as per some of our readers, it’s working since today morning. Interestingly, it doesn’t carry the ‘Flipkart Lite’ tag like on Chrome or Opera which they promoted as a web app. But for all practical purposes, it looks and works the same on UC Browser as it does on Chrome....

Who is Fujitsu, and how did they build the world’s lightest laptop? Fujitsu, as the name suggests, is a Japanese company that works under FCCL (Fujitsu Client Computing Limited) and is known for its computer equipment and IT services. The Japanese roots can be felt in the Fujitsu UH-X laptop, as it feels very slim and robust at the same time. How did they achieve that? The entire device has a unibody design with a one-piece structure that allows more space for components to be embedded in the chassis....

Specs and benchmarks are handy, but it is functionality that counts. Responding to criticism of Google’s Tensor chip for its poor benchmarking scores, Gupta was fairly direct: Want to know how good a phone is? Check them benchmarks Some might find traces of irony in that statement, for benchmarks and tech specs really came into the smartphone review and analysis picture with the arrival of Android. Before that, in the age of Nokia and BlackBerry, it was rare to know the name and speed of the processor and RAM in a device, let alone benchmark scores of processors....

That’s why Google has made available for download a free Chrome extension which protects your Google and Google Apps for Work accounts. So, by installing this Chrome extension, whenever you will enter your Gmail or Google for Work password into anywhere other than accounts.google.com, then you’ll receive an alert or you will be able to change your password if needed.

Of course, all is not perfect with them. Nothing is perfect, right? The problem with planar headphones is that they are heavy, bulky, and right now, rather expensive. And not too many brands make them – Audeze and HifiMan are the most prominent (although Oppo does make them too). It is almost impossible to get a pair under Rs 15,000. This is why we are rather delighted to see a pair of surprisingly and relatively new planar headphones for as little as Rs 11,999....
