Windows 10 "Fall Update" is reportedly coming in November

Trusted Microsoft expert Paul Thurrott has revealed that a significant Windows10update, known by its codename 'Threshold 2', will be released in November as the Windows 10 "Fall Update".

The update will be delivered through Windows Update like any other update, meaning it won't require any user intervention to install, provided you have automatic updates enabled. It will be reportedly released as a cumulative update so that users don't have to download an entire Windows 10 build.

Windows 10's Fall Update won't include a huge array of new features, but Thurrott does mention some interesting improvements we can expect. The Media Creations Tool will be completely overhauled in the Fall Update, Cortana will be updated with new features and support for new locales, and Microsoft Edge will receive "various improvements" with the exception of add-ons.

Microsoft is also set to change and improve the way Windows 10 is activated in the Fall Update.

AirConsole Is A Browser-based gameing Platform Where Your Smartphone Is The Controller

AirConsole is a recently launched browser-based games platform that re-purposes players’ smartphones as controllers.
There’s no need to download any games or apps — or indeed, hunt out your Nintendo 64 and remember where you left the controller. For a local multiplayer gaming session AirConsole is super simple to use.

You just go to AirConsole.com on your computer and smartphone, entering the link code that’s shown on the bigger screen (computer) on your smaller screen (mobile), your phone becomes the touch pad to control the goings-on on the other screen.

The number of games is pretty limited at this nascent stage, but the team behind AirConsole is currently running a competition for devs to port titles (they say any Browser-based game or Unity 3D Games can be ported).

In the meanwhile titles include Tic Tac Boom, Hit Parade and PolyRaceer. There’s also an NES emulator, plus card games such as poker and Cards Against Humanity.

Falcon Shield launches electronic attacks to take control of drones
A new technology unleashes electronic attacks on enemy Drones, enslaving them to its will. Made by Finmeccanica-Selex ES, the Falcon Shield technology lets the good guys gain control of drones and land them safely.
Falcon Shield finds, fixes, tracks, identifies and defeats drones. Mini-drones are becoming a growing security concern, as evidenced by the quadcopter drone that crashed onto the White House grounds earlier this year.

Small-sized drones are cheap, widely commercially available, simple to assemble and easy to fly. These micro drones can be hard to detect and stop and could be used to attack targets by carrying threats like explosives or chemical and biological weapons.

The Falcon Shield is an adaptable system that can be deployed to protect VIPs. It could also be used to protect military convoys and patrols. Falcon Shield doesn’t need to be at a fixed location, and different versions of the technology can be carried by an individual or a vehicle.

Twitter Introduces Poll To Give Users More Voice

The company has finally added the option of Polls, something which was sorely missing so far. The poll currently gives you the choice of choosing among only two options now (in typical Twitter fashion) but it is something that should expand in the future.

Twitter also (thankfully) doesn’t disclose how you voted publicly or your identify to the poll generator, so any fear of public backlash won’t be there. And no spammers. You’ll be notified via push notification when the poll you’ve voted on closes.

The service will start hitting your iPhone, Android and the Website in the coming few weeks. The option to use them will be found in the compose box.

Google now Provides An Explanation On Why It Blocked A Site

The blocking isn’t always due to the malware content either; often it is the content uploaded by the user or a temporary malware infection which leads to this event. Sites are listed under any of three categories: “Not Dangerous”, “Partially Dangerous” and “Dangerous”. Users will be able to see what caused the outage of the website, and when was the last time that it was tested.

The new section replaces the company’s Safe Browsing diagnostic page which was launched in 2008. The new page is cleaner & simpler and provides further information like whether the site shows unwanted software or not.

Google notifies the owners itself about the malicious content to further speedup the process. It also updates their status when the issue is resolved. You can visit the page by clicking on this https://www.google.com/transparencyreport/safebrowsing/diagnostic/
and check whether your favorite site is harmful in any way or not.

OnePlus is coming up with a more budget friendly smartphone OnePlus X this month.
The OnePlus X is rumored to have similar specs to OnePlus One - but a 0.5″ smaller screen with same resolution. We all are familiar with Cyanogen mod and OxygenOS. They are like a bit of an external skin added over the stock version of Android but with external features.
