Microsoft Zune May Arrive On Windows Mobile
By Vlad | October 3, 2008
We have all been hearing about the Microsoft Zune and the cool interface will apparently come to Windows Mobile devices, apparently. The Zune has been talked about for being one of the most user-friendly interfaces ever seen. In fact many see it as a direct competition to Apple’s devices.
This may in fact turn Windows Mobile devices into a pseudo iPod Touch, but nevertheless, such things can’t be just guessed. We must also remember that the current Windows-powered smartphones are not exactly user friendly and when it comes to multimedia playback, it needs some knowledge about the way it functions.
Microsoft’s Quest To Have Better Privacy
By Vlad | August 27, 2008
Internet can be a rather strange place with many sexual predators lurking in internet chatrooms and elsewhere. To keep the predators from luring your children, spouse or anyone else, Microsoft’s 8th edition of Internet Explorer brings a feature where in you surf the web without leaving a trace of your browsing habits. The InPrivate Browsing makes sure the browser will not keep an account of your browsing, search history, cookies, form data or pass words and once you are done it will clear up its cache.
Inprivate Blocking has a interesting feature which tells you when certain contents are able to track your browsing history and Inprivate subscription. In simple words, it warns you when a website is tracking your movements in the virtual world. It even gives you a list of websites to be blocked. The ‘Delete Browsing History’ option provides the liberty of keeping cookies for certain sites unlike previous versions where in all the cookies were deleted. However, to provide Microsoft the much-needed competition, Mozilla is going to launch a version with similar features in Fire fox 3.1 shortly.
