A couple of days back, we saw the new and improved Start Menu from Windows 9 in action thanks to a leaked video, and today, the same German source has provided us with another leak that shows the multiple desktops / virtual desktops in Windows 9, and they look pretty slick. More details and video can be found right after the break.

It’s almost certain beyond doubt that any iPhone launch will see a massive success for the device, but could things go even better? With the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, it seems they have.
We know this now with absolute certainty that Microsoft will indeed bring back the highly-coveted Start Menu in Windows 9 - codenamed Project Threshold - and will answer the hue and cry of a lot of long-time Windows users. There have been some recent leaks as well that pointed in the same direction and even showcased the new feature, but how exactly will it be implemented, for that we have a much better idea now.
The iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus have been finally unveiled, and it's pretty close to all the hype that built up around the device prior to its announcement thanks to a number of leaks that only increased as we approached the highly-anticipated date of September 9th. This was also the first time that an Apple device has leaked this extensively prior to its actual announcement. That also put a question mark on the actual unveiling itself; we weren't sure if the Cupertino company will reveal both the normal iPhone 6 and the phablet version of the device, or just one, since earlier reports suggested that there were some problems with the production line. Turned out, the Cupertino tech giant revealed both, and now users have a duo to choose from.
For all our dedicated readers, this post marks the culmination of our day when they get a chance to get a number of otherwise paid iPhone and iPad apps for free. Our findings on a daily basis range from utilities to tools to games and purely entertainment apps. Today, we have 6 such titles that you can download for free for a limited time.
When Google acquired Motorola Mobility a couple of years back, we expected a lot of good to come from the deal, especially for the consumers. Over the course of time, we saw some of those expectations turn to reality as well, in the form of the Moto X and Moto G smartphones - devices that offered high-end specs in relatively low costs, with a pleasant experience overall. Today, we have another offering from the Chicago based company with the name of Moto X (2nd Gen.). Nope, it’s not the old Moto X; it’s the new Moto X for which Motorola has essentially decided to keep the naming convention same (or take a leaf out of Apple’s and HTC’s books).
Despite various services out there that have become all the rage for video conferencing and VoIP calling, Skype remains the medium of choice for a large majority of users. And it makes sense, too; in my personal experience, short of FaceTime, nothing gives as good an experience as Skype. Today, the company has released an update for its iOS app that enables users to host group audio calls for free, right from their iPhones.
Concept designs are a wonderful thing, and they always will be. Not only do they do good for our own imaginations, but often suggest creative ways of doing things to product manufacturers as well. That’s one of the primary reasons they get maximum exposure from tech blogosphere as well, and that makes certain concept artists really famous too.
Despite its massive popularity and usefulness, the one area where Reddit has always lacked is the number of official mobile apps that the company offers. That is beginning to change, however, starting with the service’s official Ask Me Anything (AMA) iOS app, which caters to the iPhone needs of the service’s most popular feature, Ask Me Anything.
Microsoft has had a lot of learning opportunity from the successes and failures of Windows 8, and that was evident from some of the quick fixes that were introduced with Window 8.1, which was a mere incremental update over the existing operating system. Still, for those who had hue and cry over the stark difference that Windows 8 presented over Windows 7, Windows 8.1 at least made the system usable for them once again. However, any major changes that were expected from the Redmond company, won’t happen until Windows 9 (or Windows Threshold, as it is called right now).
