Here are some tricks which will make windows 8 much more interesting. and if you are using windows 8 on a touch screen device it will be a fun experience.

1. Overview Your Entire Start Screen By Semantic Zoom



If you’re using a touch screen, squeeze the Start screen with two fingers to receive a bird’s eye view of your entire screen contents. This is useful when you have a lots of apps/programs installed and want to see all the apps without scrolling the contents up and down.

2. Use Windows Hot Corners
 The corners on your screen provides you to different Windows features. Below, is a brief explanation of each of these corners.


Bottom Left-hand corner of the screen will allow you to access the Start screen, if you’re in the Start screen and have the Desktop open, this corner will open the Desktop from the Start screen.
Quick Tip: Right-clicking in the left hand corner will open the power user menu.
Moving the mouse to the top-left corner and then down will display all the apps running on the computer. Clicking and dragging any of these apps to the left or right-hand side of the screen will snap that app to that side of the screen. Each of these open app icons can also be right-clicked to close or snap.
On the full right-hand side of the screen will be given access to the Windows Charms.
3. Why Close Buttons Are Hard To Find?
Closing a program seems easy, but you might have noticed that close buttons are hard to find in Windows 8. That’s because Microsoft encourages us to run apps in the background where they’ll take up minimal resources, but still be accessible at any time!
Still, anyway, you can close an app 1) by dragging it from top to bottom, or 2) using Alt+F4 keys or 3) using the task manager.
4. Find Anything Using Power-packed Search
Search looks power-packed. Start typing anything you are looking for in the search bar and it will search in the apps, files/folders and emails too.
5. Windows 8 God Mode Folder?
Create a magic folder which contains all the Windows 8 setings and hidden tweaks:
1. Create a “New Folder” by right-clicking on empty spot in any directory, preferably Desktop.
2. Give the folder this name: All Settings .{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
3. Open the folder to see a complete list of settings.
But be careful for using advanced settings, don’t change them unless you are an expert.
6. PC Slowed Down? Get Fresh Windows 8 Easily in Minutes!
In Windows 7 and previous versions, you had to format and reinstall the entire OS to get a fresh feel. This was a tiresome and time-wasting process. Windows 8 provides an in-built way to refresh your computer!
In order to perform the Windows 8 refresh, go to Settings and click the Change PC Settings tab near the bottom. Select the General tab and find the “Refresh your PC without affecting your files” section near the middle (you may also select “Remove everything and reinstall Windows” to get the true factory settings treatment). Select “Get started” and press “Refresh.” After a few minutes the PC will restart, and you will have a fresh copy of Windows 8.
7. Shut Down Shortcut:
Windows 8 hides the Power button in the Settings menu, so it takes multistep process just to shut down your PC. But you can pin a Shutdown button right onto the bottom of your desktop using following trick:
Create a shortcut on your desktop (right-click, go to New, then Shortcut). Enter “shutdown /s /t 0″ (with no quotes, and, yes, that’s a zero not an “O”) as the location of the item, and press Next. Now name the shortcut (prefereably “Shutdown”) and press Finish.
Right-click the shortcut, and navigate to Properties. Choose Change Icon in the Shortcut tab, and then OK to leave the warning box. Choose an icon of your choice from the list. In the screenshot above, you’ll see we chose a Power button.
Right-click the shortcut again, and select Pin to Start. You can place the icon on your Start screen wherever it’s convenient. Clicking it will instantly shut down your computer.
But which one is the easiest and fastest way to shutdown? Hit power button on your computer!
8. Classic Start Menu
This is the thing many people keep missing on Windows 8. If you want to anyway want the Start menu on Windows 8,
ViStart, a free utility will do a good job.
9. Fun Way To Password-protect
Windows 8 enables you to create a picture password, where you choose an image, then draw on it in a combination of taps, lines and circles – only someone who can reproduce this pattern will be able to log on. Select Win + I > More PC Settings > Users > Create a Picture Password to give this a try.

New Apple Mac Pro High-End Desktop Due This Spring


While Apple will discontinue its existing Mac Pro high-end desktop in Europe and nearby countries later this month as it does not comply with certain local regulations, the absence of Mac Pro on those markets will be temporary. According to a media report, Apple plans to introduce an all-new Mac Pro already this spring.
“We believe, however, that the absence of the Mac Pro is temporary, Apple has informed us that a new Mac Pro will be released in spring, 2013. We will make sure to [introduce] these products,” a letter by a Mac reseller in France published by Mac4Ever web-site reads.
While Apple Mac Pro is among the worst-selling product lines of the company, the high-end desktop remains an ideal choice for companies requiring professional software, high-performance and Apple Mac OS X platform. While current Mac Pro still remains the highest-performing Macintosh ever made, it is based on outdated microprocessors and graphics cards and therefore it is time for a refresh.
At present there are no details available about the new Mac Pro desktop, but everything points to the fact that the new workstation from Apple will be based on Intel Corp.’s forthcoming Xeon E-series and W-series processors powered by Ivy Bridge-EP design as it is simply illogical for the company to utilize last year’s Intel Xeon E5 based on Sandy Bridge-EP technology. Since Intel is expected to introduce the Ivy Bridge-EP only in Q3 2013, actual availability of the new Mac Pro may be delayed. It is also logical to expect the new Mac Pro to utilize latest graphics cards from AMD or Nvidia as well as new breeds of high-end solid-state storage solutions.
Apple did not comment on the news-story.

Microsoft Gives In To The Old Guard, Adds Start Button And Boot To Desktop To Windows 8.1


Microsoft Gives In To The Old Guard, Adds Start Button And Boot To Desktop To Windows 8.1

Windows 8.1 Pre-release Start screen - Your Start screen gets more personalized with Windows 8.1
Windows 8.1, which will be available for download in a preview version on June 26, will feature the good old Start button in desktop mode. Users who dislike the new Modern UI/Metro interface will also be able to boot right to the desktop. While rumors about the return of the Start button had long been making the rounds, Antoine Leblond, Microsoft’s corporate VP for Windows Program Management,made the official announcement on the Windows Blog this morning.
Given all the criticism Microsoft had to endure for removing the Start button, it’s not a huge surprise that it will return in Windows 8.1. Microsoft assumed that touchscreens would be a bit more mainstream by now, I think. Leblond notes that Microsoft has recognized that there are still many non-touch devices in use today. That’s a bit of an understatement, of course. The reality is that most Windows PCs don’t have touchscreens. Leblond especially stresses that this is true for commercial settings.
So to help mouse and keyboard users, Microsoft is making a few more changes beyond bringing back the Start button in desktop mode. It will be on by default, but if you don’t like it, you will be able to remove it.
Leblond doesn’t say this in the blog post, but a Microsoft spokesperson confirmed to us that you will have the option to boot directly into the desktop, too, without having to go through the fullscreen Start menu first. You will also be able to boot into the Modern UI, but with the Apps list view open as the default.

The Return Of The Start Button – But Not The Start Menu

One question that was probably on many people’s mind, though, was what the Start button would actually do. This may come as a bit of a disappointment to many, but a click on the Start button will take you to the regular Start screen. There’s no Windows 7-like pop-up menu that appears.
If you have personalized the Start screen to the app list view, however (another new feature in Windows 8.1), you will see that instead of the usual live tile view. This view will give you one-click access to all of your apps.
Microsoft will also change the Windows 8.1 Start “tip,” which appears when you move your mouse into the lower left corner of the screen, to be the usual Windows logo and not, as it is today, a representation of the Modern UI Start screen. In addition, you will be able to change what each of the screen’s corners will do.

Flexible Snap View And Multi-Screen Support

That’s not the only concession Microsoft is making to its users, though. It’s also improving how the operating system handles multiple Metro/Windows Store apps that run at the same time. Currently, you can only run two apps at the same time (and only on one screen). One of those apps currently has to be the main app and take over about four-fifth of the screen while the other is relegated to the other fifth.
Windows 8.1, however, will allow you to size these snap views any way you want. The limit for apps that run on the same screen is also now three instead of two. You can also snap together multiple windows of the same app (say Internet Explorer), which should make multitasking with Windows Store apps a bit easier.
For users with multiple screens, Windows currently only allows Windows Store apps to run on one screen. This will change in Windows 8.1. Windows Store apps can now run on one screen and the other screen can show the Start menu.
Windows 8.1 Pre-release Multitasking - Multitasking made easier with Windows 8.1

Search Charm Now Includes Results From Bing And SkyDrive

Another area where Microsoft is making quite a few changes is in how the Search charm will work in Windows 8.1. According to Leblond, this search feature will now pull in results from Bing and also show aggregate results from apps, files and SkyDrive. It will also show actions you can take. If the web results feature a Wikipedia link, for example, you can ask Windows to read it out aloud. You can also play music files right from this view and there will probably a few more actions you can take that Microsoft hasn’t disclosed yet.
Windows 8.1 Pre-release Search - Aggregated global Search helps you get things done, fast and easier

IE11

Unsurprisingly, Windows 8.1 will also feature Internet Explorer 11. The next version of the browser, Leblond writes, will offer better touch performance, faster page load times and “other new features.” Microsoft remains pretty tight-lipped about what these “new features” are, but Leblond does say that you will be able to change the appearance of the modern IE11 to always show the address bar (it currently auto-hides). He also says that you will be able to sync open tabs across your Windows 8.1 devices.

Also New: Saving To SkyDrive, Smarter Lock Screen, More Personalization Options

There are obviously quite a few additional features in Windows 8.1, too (and Microsoft says it still has a few more tricks up its sleeve, too). Windows 8.1 will will, for example, allow you to save files directly to SkyDrive without the need to install a separate app.
Windows 8.1 Pre-release SkyDrive - SkyDrive with Windows 8.1 gives you access to your files where you need it
There are also a slew of new personalization options. The Lock Screen, for example, can now show a slide show of your images (both from SkyDrive and your local storage). In addition, the Lock Screen will now allow you to take Skype calls or take pictures without having to log in.
Other personalization options include the ability to choose your desktop background as your Start screen background (which should make switching back and forth between the Start screen and desktop mode a bit less jarring). Start screen backgrounds can now also be animated, similar to the backgrounds we’ve become accustomed to on Android. Microsoft says the Start screen tiles now come in more different sizes and it’s easier to select multiple files at once to resize them, move them and uninstall them. Because Microsoft found that users often moved tiles accidentally, you now have to press and hold (or use a right-click) to move them around.

The Right Direction

Overall, Microsoft is moving in the right direction with Windows 8.1. The operating system will get many of the much-needed features that will make it easier to use and remove some of the more baffling design decision from Windows 8.
Leblond says Microsoft has been listening to its customers. He also says, however, that Microsoft remains committed to its vision and its “touch-first” approach to Windows 8. In reality, however, the company is making quite a few concessions to its users, who weren’t quite ready for this vision yet.
