Late yesterday, Microsoft released a new version of its Freeware SyncToy utility – version 2.1 (build 2.1.0.0) for Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions are available for free download. The latest release includes significant upgrades which should be able to meet all your PC “sync” needs. I downloaded the tool and had it up and running and syncing a few of my folders in just a few minutes....
The MCU is forever indebted to Jon Favreau for his directorial contributions to the franchise. Even though he hasn’t helmed a superhero film in a while, he’s still an integral part of the process due to his role as Happy Hogan, one of the unsung heroes of the series. From the beginning he was right by Tony Stark’s side, and it looks as though he will still play a large role in the upcoming films....
Kevin Feige says that the upcoming Marvel Studios Disney+ series will be the first time small screen projects will actually connect to the MCU movies. After wrapping up the Infinity Saga this year with Joe and Anthony Russo’s Avengers: Endgame, the superhero franchise is in the middle of transitioning to its Phase 4. While the universe’s movie slate is already laid out, Feige and his team are also expanding with their own produced TV shows starring some of the characters fans have already met, as well as others who have yet to debut....
Updated for 2015! The Best Bluetooth Speakers review has now moved here! TL;DR: Overall winner (updated), Best Value, Best sound, Best Portable/Sound, Charger too, Apps/Updates, more Spring is finally here and it is time to bring our music and speakerphones outside. There’s no better way to enjoy sound outside than with a portable bluetooth speaker. But as Jordan noted to me during our CES coverage, there must be 100,000 Bluetooth speakers to choose from including a growing horde of no name brands OEM’ed from fly-by-night Chinese companies....
There’s a moment in Metro Exodus’ engrossing 20 hour campaign where lead protagonist Artyom and his compatriots are desperately fleeing toward their departing train. It’s pitch black, voices are shouting out in terror and, oh yeah, dozens of cannibalistic humans are in pursuit, hoping to make the group their next meal. There’s no over-the-top soundtrack playing in the background, no helicopter coming in last minute to save them and no quippy one-liners like other first-person shooters....
Below is the complete statement issued by Micromax to Technology Personalized. The statement is vague to start with, but sort of indicates that Micromax acknowledges the existence of such an issue and willing to address it openly. The company claims to have taken immediate steps to put constant surveillance across their systems, and plug any “unknown potential gap” soon. Micromax is probably hinting that the adware published by Adups is probably being installed without the company’s knowledge....
(Click to enlarge screenshots) To start things off, here’s all 7 Microsoft Office 2013 (Home 365 Premium) apps opened up in the File ribbon. Nice! Microsoft Word 2013 Word’s start screen… The ribbon hasn’t changed much, but all of the edges are now square. Document editing in Word 2013 is really smooth. Right away I noticed how the cursor sorta glides along and I’m typing vs. the tick, tick tick common with all other Windows Applications....

This doesn’t mean we’re done…We fixed an issue where touching a Flash element in Microsoft Edge with two or more fingers could result in the tab crashing.We fixed an issue where thumbnails and icons might not be rendered if there were any video files saved to the desktop....
Original Old Article… Way back in 2008, we covered RD Tabs, a freeware RDP client alternative that answered the prayers of many a systems administrator for an easier way to manage multiple RDP sessions at once. This groovy application from Avian Waves was well-deserving of the props it received. Still, now, Microsoft has officially taken up the torch by offering a more elegant way to handle connections to numerous RDP servers at once within its very own Remote Desktop Connection Manager....
It’s not the first time that a ‘Twitter for iPhone’ tag has given away the fact that someone is not using the device you might expect them to. Latest casualty of the telltale tag is Joe Belfiore, the Microsoft VP who fronts the Windows Phone project. When The Verge ran a piece on it, Business Insider noticed that Belfiore used the comments section to share the reasons he is using an iPhone whilst on a 9-month sabbatical....
Microsoft Will Disable Get Windows 10 App Microsoft started rolling out KB3035583 in late May 2015, which prepped systems for the free upgrade. Users running Windows 7 or Windows 8.1 Update 1 started receiving notifications at the end of July 2015 informing them of its availability. Not all users were happy about the upgrade. Recently, the software firm celebrated Windows 10 reaching a milestone 300 million active installations. This goal has been met with some resistance, though....
Micheal Jackson’s accusers that were featured on the heartbreaking documentary, Leaving Neverland, will finally be able to receive some sort of justice for the alleged abuse, as since a new law has passed, the accusers can finally sue Jackson’s estate for sexual abuse. The controversy surrounding Jackson’s alleged abuse has been an ongoing process that may be able to come to an end finally. For most around the world, Jackson was a significant figure of the 20th century and one of the greatest entertainers of all time....
Let your child use their Microsoft account online? To comply with the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act, Microsoft collects parental consent and verifies it by charging a one-time fee of $0.50 (50 cents) to the parent’s US-based credit card. The fee is donated to charity—it doesn’t let your child make purchases on that card. […] I went ahead and did that and, just like they said they would, they charged my credit card for $0....
The Microsoft Download Manager is a tiny utility that might not be the best download manager out there, but it’s free, hardly uses any system resources, and it gets the job done. There isn’t much to say, the program is pretty straight forward, and since they just updated it to version 1.2 I thought it was worth a mention. What is a download manager? Typically, a download manager is a program that you can use to resume downloads in the case that you lose the connection or for some reason the download is interrupted....
SmartScreen Filter Improvements in Microsoft Edge and IE 11 One of the common attack methods in recent times has been so-called “drive-by downloads” which does not require any user interaction. For instance, when you visit a popular website, a download can be initiated in the background without you even knowing. Many of these drive-by attacks are now beginning to leverage zero-day attacks keeping one step ahead of traditional security technologies such as Anti-virus and Anti-spyware....
The rumor of this operating system started circulating early this year, though we didn’t actually know what this operating system was supposed to do for the company, and how it was any different from the other Windows 8.1 operating system that are available in the market. The company has now announced that Windows 8.1 with Bing is pretty much same as the Windows 8.1 we are all familiar with, except that it will have Bing as the default search engine on Internet Explorer....
Update: It has since been reported that Kevin Feige only meant LGBTQ characters, not transgender ones in particular, will soon appear in the MCU. Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige promises that a transgender character will arrive very soon in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. The company has committed to reaching out to more diverse audiences by including more diverse characters in its big-budget films, and so far, that commitment has paid off....
I brought up this issue early when the company started releasing cumulative updates for Windows 10 in my article: Windows 10 Gets New Cumulative Update KB3081455, Should We Know What’s in These? At that time, in response to a Twitter user, Gabe Aul stated: “We don’t do full change lists, it is too tough to manage and doesn’t really add any value.” That response certainly didn’t win over any fans, especially those who control a networked environment....
Optical illusions? The iPad screen on the left is actually bigger Earlier today Microsoft unleashed its second ad in what appears to be a new campaign focusing on directly comparing iPad to Windows 8 tablets side-by-side– not unlike Apple’s own very successful ‘Get a Mac’ campaign. However, it appears that some of Microsoft’s claims are turning out to be quite inaccurate. To go along with the two videos posted to its YouTube channel and currently running on TV, curi....
